This is the first time I'm posting in here. I've had the app installed but haven't really used it. I'm looking for some friends that understand what im going through.
Doctors are still trying to work out what is going on in my body and why it has randomly decided to attack itself

Hi, my name is Spud_u_Like1982. I'm here because I am currently unemployed and living with multiple mental health conditions in OCD, anxiety, depression, hoarding disorder, recently diagnosed ADHD (Inattention), potential autistic spectrum disorder. I also have IBS, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. My partner of 7 years recently dissolved our relationship and I am still living in the same house with her and sharing a bed still. Due to all my issues I now have a very low sex drive and I have recently been feeling very suicidal. I feel completely unloved, unwanted and unneeded. I don't really have any friends and I feel very isolated and alone. I'm close to my Parents, but they are all I have.

Super Seed by Melanie R.
Past dunes,
bazaars of market spice
the planter fared for gift of life.
Past storms,
crossed marsh,
contended seas.
The search consumed to supersede.
The planter’s hope on path’s unknown.
Walked thorn in side o’er fiery coals.
A strength of Will,
a test of faith,
So worth the trek,
no time to waste.
So deep within the earth’s crevasse
Super seed was rare to find-
The planter brave to travel there.
lamp by feet to guide.
The quest consumed
as passion flared
Find super seed,
then plant with care.
Hidden by faith,
Blinded by source.
The planter prevailed;
sailed on to the course.
Traversed below the surface,
a suffocating search
Many were called before him,
and some have not returned.
Time went by as darkness pressed,
and time to sow was ticking;
the seed then found amidst the dead
a covenant seed of picking.
Planter knelt on all the darkness
and placed his hands in dirt,
Brought them both together
prayed through all the hurt.
Tilled soil with only finger
Aerated when in heart,
The neck of fate,
with open hand
Let go of all the hurt.
So on your quest,
remember this,
A remnant lost in fear.
Now plant your seed,
you’re alive again;
watered by the tears.
To this day you’ll find it,
full grown to supersede.
Flourishes beside hope’s gate,
the seed became a tree!
