What's up, why'd you come here?

A lovely reminder!

Honestly, I came here because I am bored. Boredom causes me anxiety which then causes me to be destructive. I'm trying to put my boredom into something positive and not destructive like eating too much, or consuming too much media, or partaking in arrogant conversation.

I joined cus im lonely... and stuck in life.

Thanks, OP.

Without going too deeply into it, I recently had to say a permanent goodbye to someone I loved very much. That, and the months of isolation, have left me feeling like a lousy lump of nothing most days. I do have some good friends to help me through though.

I don't want to lose everything, so I'm trying to find reasons to hold on. That's about the size of it.

I came here because I have bipolar 1 and I am currently in a rough spot because my husband is in the hospital experiencing his own mental health challenges.

Came here due to barely anyone supporting me IRL and to try and find people who deal with what I deal with (I did!) so I wouldn't feel as alone!

At first I was looking for anywhere to volunteer, but when I came across this service I realized that I really wanted to help people. I see this as a way to not only help support people who are struggling, but also as a way to help me get better at communicating with people in general.

I came to this website, after a friend suggested it. I just lost the second family member this year. I was a caregiver for them both and now I feel overwhelmed and stressed.

In the week since I joined, I have found some things very helpful.

no one to really care about my huge amount of life problems.
