I really want to say what's on my mind, but can't seem to shake the "no one will answer anyway" feeling. Just having a rough time.
Hello @Hopeisreal21
I'm sorry to hear you are having a rough time. I hope you are able to have some better days soon :) Feel free to share what is on your mind if you feel comfortable! I promise I will listen <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
Thank you!
alone, it feels like no one cares
Hello @unassumingSpruce9514
I know how it feels to be lonely and like no one cares about your struggles. I promise that I care though <3 If you want to talk more about what is going on, please don't hesitate to reach out :)
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
1) How are you feeling?
sadly my current feelings aren’t too good at the moment 😞
2) What is going well for you?
this is a very difficult question to answer right now, and honestly I can’t find an answer ☹️
3) What is not going well for you?
I accidentally threw out 4 months of being sh free yesterday 😞
4) If you could have an unlimited supply of one food or drink, what would it be?
Probably either maltesers or kitkats 🥲 (me needs chocolate)
Hello @emotionalTalker2260
I'm sorry to hear you are feeling sad right now. I'm glad you are reaching out for help though! Relapsing is never fun, but it is unfortunately a part of recovery. I relapsed after about two months of being clean right before starting my longest clean streak. I know it is frustrating, but recovery is still possible! I believe in you :)
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
TW FOR SELF HARM
- I’m really struggling. It has been a really(excuse my language) fucking long week and I’m so tired from getting no where after trying so hard.
- nothing is going well
- ive been on the verge of a relapse all week and had multiple breakdowns. I’ve been out of therapy for almost a month, it’s really taking a toll on me and my mother won’t let me get a new one or see a psychiatrist. It’s so frustrating. I just want to get better. I’m close to getting other family members and friends involved because I’m struggling so much and she just won’t listen.
- i would have an unlimited supply of chocolate
Hello @Rainbowphrog
I'm sorry to hear you have been struggling recently. Thank you for reaching out for help about this and not keeping it to yourself though <3 Last week may have been really hard on you, but it is over now. I hope this week brings you the peace you deserve <3 You deserve to have good things in your life. Would you like to tell me more about your breakdowns? I understand if you don't feel comfortable sharing this in the forums. I'm proud of you for trying to fight the urge to relapse <3 I can tell recovery is really important to you. I understand the frustration of not having a therapist. My mom promised to schedule an appointment for me months ago, but she keeps "forgetting". It is honestly really upsetting. We both deserve better. I encourage you to reach out to other family members if you feel comfortable. Sometimes, we have to be our biggest advocates. I am truly proud of you for coming this far :)
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
My breakdowns are just really overwhelming and frustrating. My emotions go haywire and Im stuck in my own head until Im dehydrated for crying so much I pass out from exhaustion. I’m glad now I have winter break and I’m hoping things don’t get worse over it and everything passes. Thank you for caring :)
@Emma6018
Im Not great
Nothing is going well
Everything is going bad
And if I could have one limited supply of food,or drink, I would choose pizza🍕
Hello @Emma6018
I'm sorry to hear nothing is going well for you right now. I promise this is temporary. It might feel like nothing will get better, but this feeling won't last forever. Would you like to tell me more about what is going on?
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
@SnailPurple
it doesn't feel temporary at all, and yes, I would like to tell you what's going on whenever you got the time
Lately has not been very good 😞
I am feeling a little less alone now that my family is getting counseling on how to help me with my anxiety and MDD. I’ve felt alone for so long though and it’s the worst during the holidays.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is helping a lot along with Neuro feedback.
Trying to understand my triggers is difficult and even harder to try to explain to the people around me. I’m trying not to isolate anymore but it’s hard to explain why certain things affect me the way they do to people who don’t deal with depressive thoughts.
If I could have an unlimited supply of something it would probably be BodyArmour.
Hello @neonFig9263
I'm glad you feel less alone! Remember, there is nothing wrong with having MDD or anxiety. There is nothing wrong with you and more people deal with this than you probably realize. I'm glad CBT and NeuroFeedback are going well for you. You deserve to get help :) Having supportive family members who want to help is a wonderful thing <3 I agree it can be hard to identify and explain triggers. I often find myself triggered, but unable to communicate to others how I feel and what can be done to help. I am proud of you for trying to avoid self-isolation <3
Thank you for checking in, stay safe!
