Echo #MightyPoets #firsttimeposting

I'm so lonely

That I'm friends with the Echo

Everything I say

She says it back to me

Everything I feel

She bounces back to me

Whenever I cry

She's crying with me

I'm happy I have a friend

Who listens like the Echo

She's always there

Awake when I'm awake

Sad when I'm sad

Lost when I'm lost

But she doesn't talk much

She never says anything new

But it doesn't mean she's not fun

Whatever I sing

She will sing it too

But whenever I ask a question

Whenever I want to know why

She can't tell me

It's quiet

She won't speak

She just cries

Oh Echo I love you

All this time

It's been just us two

For such a long time

For so long

Really long

But Still

But Still

It's fun

She's plenty

But I can only be with Echo

Because I am empty

Nervous Healthcare Worker

This is my #firsttimeposting so I’m not quite sure what to put. I work as a counselor at a psychiatric facility. I spend time calming my patients fears over random stuff and especially covid-19. I am nauseous every time I leave my home to go to work. One week I had to take my Ativan every day before work or I just couldn't function.

Introducing Myself

Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about a year ago at age 12. This is my first post on here. I just got a 504 plan for my school which includes extended time on assignments and tests and an adapted PE curriculum. If anyone has any advice on managing Fibro Fog with school and/or work, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Is this depression? First timer here...

Hello. I’m going to try this out and see how it goes. I think I have been fighting an eternal battle with depression and maybe anxiety for most of my life. I don’t remember a time when I didn’t feel like this in some form or another. I grew up in a farming community where depression and anxiety wasn’t a thing, if you couldn’t get things done you were lazy or weak. Showing emotions was not really condoned. I have lived in the city now for the past 18 years. The idea of depression didn’t present itself until I had my two children and struggled with post partum depression. Even then it was all very hush hush and I felt too ashamed to talk about it. But then I felt like I beat it and that was the end of it. In the past few years now I have tried to make a point in bringing it up to other mom’s to try and normalize it more for other people. It still however had not crossed my mind that I might have depression. Now my kids are 5 & 4 and I am working shift work for the pst year. I find myself trying to motivate myself to put the dishes away, get dressed, shower and I feel guilty for being so “lazy” and “weak” and am terrified that my kids are going to learn that from me. But maybe I’m not lazy and weak? Maybe I am sick? Which brings me to my anxiety. When I have brought things up to my doctors in the past they have quickly written me a prescription or have told me to get more exercise. When I was on the prescription I didn’t feel that different, except not having any desire to be intimate with my husband. I sometimes have such low energy I can’t even stand and have to find a place to sit down, how am I supposed to get more exercise? What if they tell me it’s all in my head and I am just tired from raising two preschoolers and working shift work? What if it is all just in my head? Welcome to the inner dialogue in my head Every. Damn. Day.

Am I overreacting?

It's my first time posting on this website and honestly I'm scared, but i know that I will not do it, I might end with doing something bad. Today, for different works, the bus I take to go to school got delayed and came an hour later than my school opening because of some work they had to do and are still doing (they didn't talk about it on the tv so it was a surprise - I stayed still outside on the cold at 7 AM till 8:30 AM) as my mother knew she called me to tell me that i'm a failure and that I was gonna fail this year and this time I had no excuses because of I did choose school and consequently she was gonna beat me up and take the phone from me once I reached home.
I'm now home and my friend who's in another city suggested me to call a suicide hotline or a help hotline but i'm scared because maybe i'm overreacting since they always tell me I do. I tend to hide a lot of things from them such as me coming out because they despise homosexuality and the idea of me moving out mads them out, they want me to become a doctor and marry and live well, so am I overreacting or are they looking for my future?
