    Too dependent

    I feel like I rely on people to much. I don't know how to do a lot of things a 22 year old should be able to do. I worry able if I'll ever get my driving license, how to get insurance on things, health care, I even had a nightmare about not knowing how to fill out a bank deposit slip. I get my...

    How many days do you wake up feel fine it even real good but by the middle or end of the day you suddenly crash and feel terrible again? If been having a lot of these days and I never used to feel them so often so I wanna know how other people experience them.

    So sad it hurts

    I've been gone for a while, mostly because work has been crazy and I have a summer class that is killing my free time but also because I was away this past week and a half with two friends on a trip. My trip was wonderful and it was fun to be with my friends like that but I notice that no matter...

    Hospitalization ?

    I have a appointment to the therapist on July 5 and I'm thinking of telling him just how bad my thoughts of suicide has gotten and how easy it would be for me to succeed in it. The thing is, I know it'll lead to me being put in a hospital but at the same time I sort of feel like I should go...

    I don't know what to do

    I just found out that my dad's uncle passed away. My parents want me to come home for a few days for the funeral. I do not know if I am ready to go home. My parents would want to talk to me and there are things that I really do not want to tell them. Just thinking about my parents coming to...

    Memories keep coming back *may trigger

    Why do they keep coming back. I do not want to remember more. I hate the sensation of wanting to flee yet being frozen at the same time. They are making me anxious and making me want to self harm.

    BPD and relationships

    So it's been about maybe 2 years since I've been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, I've had a year of intensive therapy which didn't feel like it was doing jack at the time but now I realise it has actually helped me by teaching me to think in a slightly different way. Because of...

    How do you ground yourself?

    I was wondering how others ground themselves? I often do a 5 senses countdown. Describe 5 things you can see Then 4 things you can touch/feel. Like their textures, temperature, etc 3 things you can hear 2 things you can smell 1 thing you can taste I also try to spot 5 things in a room that...

    Is it easier to blame our behaviour on our mental health problems than to take responsibility?

    Please do not read if you are easily offended or triggered. I realise that the majority of us here on this forum will have diagnosed and undiagnosed mental health problems. Many of us will have had terrible things happen to us in our past that have traumatised us that shape the person who we...

    Learning about my triggers

    Ok so I learned something about myself in the past year and I wanna let it out here about personal "triggers". People always tell me talking helps and it does but some topics upset me and it has a negative effect. I have social anxiety and depression so for me, if you talk about or pressure me...

    Like wtf I don't know what to think

    So I told my mom that I had been feeling anxious this past year and had talked to a doctor. Then I told her that I went to a school counsellor and that memories started coming back. I told her that I think a man touched me when I was like maybe 3-4. So what does she tell me, well all students...

    Anxiety medications while "calm"

    A little while ago I took the anti-anxiety medication Hydroxyzine to help me to stop worrying, but actually I'm pretty calm (physically, at least). I'm even a little sleepy. So I feel guilty to take anti-anxiety medication in spite of that, but the worries and the rumination just won't stop...

    Trying to move forward

    I haven't been on here for a few years. Nothings really changed. Stopped therapy and meds as my doctors kept cancelling my appointments, just had enough of it all. And the people in my therapy group were really judgemental. Made me feel crappy. One to one therapy wasn't for me, it was just...

    Why can't I stop thinking about this?

    Had a sort of breakdown in class today. No one could tell and I was very discreet about how I was feeling, smiling and talking and laughing like normal, but I don't feel normal at all. I know some of my closer friends can definitely see what's going on but I don't feel comfortable enough to...

    I want to commit suicide but not die

    This is weird. I have my suicide planned out - I have almost everything ready down to the date and time and method. But I can't figure out if I want to die or not? I just want to be taken seriously, I guess. It is extremely hard feeling valid when you're a teenage girl with depression. Online...

    What is the point, really?

    I'd like to unload a bit, if that's okay. I'm about 2.5 years into a depression that feels like it's just taken over my life. It sucks to put it mildly. I'm nearing my 40's and on the outside, have a good thing going on. Married with 2 kids, nice house, good job etc etc. It's on the...

    Best options/medication for anxiety?

    I am stuck living with someone so passively toxic that anyone he decides to be proper friends with ends up anxious, depressed or suicidal or in some cases, all 3. Now he doesnt realise he is doing this and due to what I can only figure is rather severe undiagnosed aspergers, explaining it...

    My head is caving in and I'm about to break

    I am always stressed and worried about everything. Even the smallest insignificant things like: answering questions in class or where I'm going to sit for an assembly. Whenever I complete or get through what I was worrying about I just find something else to worry about and dwell on. It never...
