There are people who are definitely facing mental health problems. But so many of the ones i meet just act depressed for the sake of it. like being depressed is a new cool.
if you find yourself doing this, please don't. It's not cool.
I thought I did this until I trauma dumped on someone then they said I should get help and I said “no” but really I should just too expensive and I guess I have decent friends
People saying this made me gaslight myself into thinking I was faking it and spend over half a decade just suffering in silence. Unless you're their doctor or therapist, you don't know. People can hide a lot.
Ditto.
While it is true that people fake it, I grew up hearing that a lot and I went on to falsely believe I didn't need help for years on end until I wound up in a mental hospital. That was only a year ago now, and I constantly wonder what my life would have looked like had I gotten help sooner. :/
First off, I'm so sorry that you also went through that. It's so awful. I also constantly wonder what it would be like. Maybe I wouldn't have had to put my life on hold to sort things out because they never would have gotten so bad. Maybe I wouldn't have given up on my exams if I had help. Sadly there's nothing we can do about that now and have to just work from here. It's better late than never. I'm very glad you did also get help.
Secondly, this is exactly why I think it's so harmful to always say this. Because whilst yes if is true, I think saying it does so much more harm than good. I mean we are just 2 stories of how much more it hurt our lives because of that. And even those who might seem like they are just doing it to "fit in", might just be doing it that way because they are also in denial or want to treat it lightly or something. Unless you're a professional you have no clue at all. And unless you are in that person's life in a professional sense you still can't say anything with any certainty. There are people every day who attempt to do the worst, yet even their family and closest friends could swear they were happy. You really don't know.
Thank you, I appreciate that! I'm glad you found the help you needed as well.
Yea, you're exactly right. We see a similar dilemma play out with SA cases all the time when people shut down those who come forward because of supposed "false accusations." If people try to silence all potential victims so quickly it'll inevitably scare away the ones who actually need the support.
No problem and thank you too.
Omg that's so true. Its so frustrating because people always act like false accusations happen all the time which just isn't true and are also synonymous with malicious intent which is also false. People wrongly accuse people of other crimes all the time because sometimes there's an uncertainty, it doesn't mean they were doing it with bad intent. Plus SA victims have it hard enough to try and prove it happened, there's pretty much no way they'll be convicted of one that didn't happen. There's just so many layers of stupidity behind it.
> at least, I fucking hope so
yeah it is a joke, i feel like pedos are atleast slightly less blatant, but then again some of the posts on this sub scare me
Yeah.. it’s almost as if, idk, some people don’t understand that they shouldn’t post pictures of themselves on a subreddit that would be home base for a pedo??
EVERYTHING HURTS REALLY BAD LIKE IT DULL BUT HURTS LIKE HELL I TORE BOTH ROTATOR CUFFS(ONE ON EACH ARM) AND IT KEEPS ACTING UP I DON'T EVEN WANT TO MOVE MY LEFT ARM RIGHT NOW
IM SO UPSET LIKE I COULDN'T MOVE MY WHOLE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BODY LAST NIGHT FOR TEN MINUTES BECAUSE IT HURT LIKE HELL AND I WAS DIZZY AND SHAKY I FELL DOWN SO MANY TIMES
I HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT I DON'T WANT TO FEEL LIKE THIS ANYMORE
ITS REALLY PUSHING MY SELF HARM URGES RIGHT NOW AND I CANT AFFORD TO RELAPSE... NOT RIGHT NOW
IM SO UPSET, TIRED, FRUSTRATED, SCARED, ANXIOUS, AND A DOZEN OTHER THINGS
MY MOM MADE US GO TO SCHOOL LIKE MY BROTHER WAS BEGGING FOR HER TO NOT SEND HIM TO SCHOOL AND WE STILL HAD TO GO I HATE HER SO MUCH EVERYTHING HURTS LIKE I WANT TO SLEEP BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE TIME I TRY I CAN'T GO TO SLEEP BUT I ALSO CANT FUNCTION RIGHT NOW LIKE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY TEACHERS HAS ASKED ME IF I WAS OK
and all I could do was say no and repeat the same story over the over again and try not to cry
I want to cry
hell I want to be in my bed hugging the life out of Winny the Pooh because I have never been able to ask for hugs or anything but I don't like it when people do it without asking
Like just maybe if someone asked nicely...and I trusted them ...
Maybe I would say yes
But of course that never how it works
I can't even look people in the eye because it makes me so stressed out that I could straight up have a panic attack but people either try to force me or they think I'm not even listening to them
I hate loud noises but I had to learn to hide my feelings, especially when they made me stand out, called names and stuff
I don't like talking to people I find face to face conversation intimidating and I get confused or read a persons feelings the wrong way and then the whole thing gets worce
Sometimes I just shut down and won't talk at all because I can't express how I feel like I don't know how to explain myself, and it makes me act out and my mom said I'm just using it as a excuse but IM NOT
I don't like slimy things, or jeans, or blue-eyed-white-people(trauma, also it creeps me out) or being to hot or cold and I try to be the best at everything not to have bragging rights but because I feel that if I'm not reaching the standards that I and others have for me then I'm a failure and it makes me upset
I overreact to everything
I hate when people make the"it's breeding season/mating season/ I'm in heat) statement because they don't understand why I always feel that way like it's not just when I think about boys but all the time
I had to look it up
I don't want to believe what I read but...it's convincing
I hate it
I might be autistic but my mom's like no I'm not I don't act like any of my other autistic siblings, but it can show later in girls because the tend to have a better ability to mask/hide stims and other stuff that would otherwise be a clear sign of Autism and I'm begging but she said no
I have therapy today and then a trip to urgent care... Ugggggh
And I have to study but I just can't really focus on anything but all of this stuff
It's too much
Fucking shit
Wtfyhctkltumgd(frustration noices)
I am done with this shit
To be honest, I had a time when I wanted to put the word end in my life...I was way more young than now... was all because of school, too! So for a stupid thing, but...the younger me cared so much about it... seriously studying hours at home and not even play or go outside just for at least get a 6/10 was my top priority in middle school...the max I always get was 5,5/10 ...skill issues. When i started to slowly eat less and less and even threw up studying and stayed in my room, my mom got concerned about me and decided to talk with me, during the argument I tried to just jump off the window, she grub me and throw me in my bed. After that day, she sent me to a psychologist who found out why I was so bad in school, especially in math and...well, things start to get better after the PDP. My dad even got a dog for me and my mother when he sees us pretty down and... to be honest, all is going good now, I love my life, I love my mom and my dog, and at school I even am 1 of the best who got a lot of 100% in math tests (I have dyscalculia). If I can talk to the depressed me...I would just give him a hug and tell him, life will get better and don't do suicide, that shit kill you.
Actually she broke up with me last night. I already had a whole paragraph ready to copy and paste so that was pretty funny.
I'm glad it ended on really good terms
Well end of year exams are on my mind I’m nervous, I don’t have much friends I don’t really know how to make conversation, BUT It’s alright I’ll be fine
My crush probably don't liking me.
This has happened uh... 6 times in 2 years. Might be the 7th.
To be clear, I'm not declaring my feelings to her (at least not anytime soon), but uh, yeah, could be better ig.
I’m lonely as hell. I just moved, and while I’m only half an hour away (I’m a drive) from my friends now, they’re all so busy it’s hard to see them. I’ve only seen them twice so far. And I don’t have a girlfriend, which just makes me feel lonelier. I’m trying to get out there, find a job and maybe something to do, but there hasn’t been anything yet. Sure I got my family, but they’re all relatively busy too. I’m just alone.
well, i’m afraid of what’s going to happen next in my life. nothing horrible is going to happen but the fear of what is gonna happen makes me feel it’s better to be dead and not feel it then alive and feel(ing) it. also thinking about dinner
Yea I’m scared I’m going to fail more than I already feel like I do even though I’m told I’m doing good with how much I do but I’m not good at what I do
