That’s a difficult one to answer. Addiction is usually a symptom that drives depression, man may disagree but many addiction becomes a symptom of mental health issues. I speak from experience, I used… read more
It happened the other night for me. I was in the carvtraveling home & just started weeping and I don't know why.
I'm not sure what I want or expect for this question. This is the hardest time of the year for me. Highly emotional, full of pit falls and moments of laughter & pure joy. Getting through the holidays can be hard, giving yourself permission to feel is very important.
How about making a list of the how to
Survive this, a little list
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!!!
The holidays are awful for me. My dad has, since my late teens, made hurtful jokes at my expense, about my weight, my looks, calling me lazy, smelly. Says that any guy going out with me must have a… read more
Ahhhh that’s great, give yourself a huge credit for feeling good 💞
Have also been having really dark thoughts. There are times during the day when I have to lie down. Instead of things getting better I'm feeling worse. I've been to a psychologist and I have situational depression. I feel trapped & isolated and deeply deeply hurt by some events that happened this year. I've never been like this before. Nothing is helping. I'm starting to give up.
I've had all those symptoms and many of them continue daily. HOWEVER, you cannot diagnose yourself and you can't get medical answers from here. The first and most important thing you need to do is… read more
I have a close family friend whom I want to trust to tell my life with Depression. He's also a doctor. I want it to be in confidence and not let it get back to my family. My family doesn't know about my latest psych hospitalization.
Note: This man is the Only one to stand up to my brother and tell him that he likes me and will continue to see me and my husband on a social bases.
I love him like a brother since I was in high school ( 1987).
You can't really trust doctors. Perfect example, they can never guarantee anything. Not without risk their job or even their license to be on line.
As for me, since some of my Family (Friends) know about my Mental Health (Illness), I feel as if it makes me feel like I'm left out even more, like as if they don't want to deal with me or they don't want to talk about it. I already feel alone & it's hard for me to Communicate already, but I feel if they wanted to help me that bad instead of ignoring the Issue(s). I know that you can't push nobody into anything if they don't want to, but I laugh 😂😂 bcause if I say I was going to Harm myself or… read more
I have learing disabilities besides the mental illness, but my family treats me as if I'm a criminal; a leper; just name it. And then they have other relatives spy on me and tell my mom whether I… read more
What Aps do you use for Journaling? A lady on Reditt gave me a free code for an ap called "unstuck overcoming anxiety" It's free for a year. It's based on cbt. I hope it helps. 🙏
Thank you.. I've learned so many things over the years in hopes that in a small way I have helped someone if I can help at least one person a day I feel like I've really accomplished something an… read more
I have known this lady for 13 years and she has always been difficult. Problem now is my wife and her hate each other. I'm obviously going to pick my wife over her. Problem is if you don't talk to her every few days she will call the police to do welfare checks. She will also keep ringing the phone until you answer literally. How would you deal with someone like that?
Karl I found this for you
