Why i can't talk about my mental health?
I am struggling, i don't have friends all i have is family and my fiance, and no one understands what I am going through, it's frustrating, i tried to be openly with my fiance and all what he said you are okay nothing wrong with you!! And that's make me feel so lonely and lost!! Life full of people struggling with their own problems, how i can be open and talk about my mental health with strangers they also maybe can't understand what I am going through!! My closest person to me couldn't!!
I have been holding inside me my struggles all my life, I don't want to have a breakdown suddenly alone! I am afraid of my self!!!
@ivoryVase7649 Sometimes people close to us don’t know how to understand our struggles. They want us to feel better so they try soothing words but don’t realize that this just makes us feel unheard.

Like the other poster said sometimes the people close to us do not see our issue ...............or down play because they do not want to face......... we might have problems......
another item is something that for one person is not a big deal for another may be devastating so those close to us will say oh this is nothing it could be worse etc....... never had a stranger / therapist etc dismiss me like those close to me.
telling a stranger is easier simply because you do not need to soften or watch every word ...... also if they help you see something or work through it a stranger does not bring it up years down the road.
