The Real Reason Asking for Help Is Hard When You Have Depression

It doesn’t matter how bad you’re hurting, does it? Doesn’t matter how long you’ve laid in bed with the curtains drawn, hoping the darkness and quiet will offer some relief, an escape from all the guilt and shame you feel. Guilt and shame that comes from collapsing in on yourself, pushing away friends and family, [...]

Depression 21h

2025 was very much hectic for me.. I had so many heartbreaks, pains and probably the worst things ever.. It was crazy... I felt suicidal, disappointed and vulnerable.. It was messy and I didn’t know what to do.. I felt trapped.. Life felt monotonous.. My heart was craving badly for a break.. What made it worse was my own fear... Fear that 2025 will be repeated.. I was scared as hell.. Cause I don’t wanna live 2025 again.. Ever again.. I am so done with it.. I even had some moments what just triggered my fear.. It was scary.. But, I made the promise to myself that I am not repeating it ever again.. 2026 is goona be nothing like that... My therapist also told me the same thing.. And, that's what I am sticking to... And, I strongly believe everything is goona be alright... Yeah,it will... And, I am hopeful... #Depression #MentalHealth #Anxiety #CheckInWithMe

MentalHealth 2d

See full photo

It's a new year, and with that comes this societal pressure to make and follow through with a list of resolutions/goals for the upcoming year. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of each year starting off with these thoughts that I have to be better, do more and/or accomplish more than I did last year. The truth is, 2025 took a lot of strength to get through, and I'm starting off this year in burnout mode. I don't need to do more or work harder than I already am. Instead of creating lofty goals for myself, I'm choosing to slow down. To focus on listening to my own needs and creating stronger boundaries, and I think that's more than enough. What are your thoughts on New Year's resolutions?

I got made fun of in front of the whole classroom in college and nobody didn’t do anything about it even the teacher laughed

This boy in my class made fun of me and said I am not appealing. Honestly the same boy failed the class and might have a criminal record which makes me feel better because what he did to me was wrong. I am diagnosed with Schizophrenia Bipolar. I have had people be so mean and rude to me my whole life especially boys in school and just men in general. I have been called ugly my whole life. I am disabled and I am 29 years old. I almost got attacked twice in school like beat up too for no reason and it was by boys. My nationality is West Indian. That’s why I don’t plan on going back to school only doing online school because why do people have to attack me? I am not a bad person.
