Hi, my name is Mandaloo.

Lastly looking for connection, with others, talking to myself isn't helping, when I made the decision to stay home and focus finally on myself, learning to love myself, set boundaries, trying to figure out who I really am, for at least 30yrs, I was a people pleaser, didn't know that I could have boundaries, and I love my mom,but I went through hell, she passed away in 2013, and I was 36yrs old, and actually until around 2015, at 38yrs old,I finally got courage to stand up for myself and I finally felt like I was an adult. But I'm stuck in a way of still trying to figure out who I really am, what do I actually like, or rather find and be my true #weirdautenicself

Over the course of my life, I have had to welcome in one of my harsh truths, one which serves to shatter my every waking moment. Throughout time, I have hopelessly searched for my sense of belonging in a world not of my own only to be met with silence, unreturned. I remain hopeless in my search, growing more tired as time passes me by. Maybe I was never meant for anything more, other than loneliness in a world I could never really call my own. So is it really even possible for me to be found where I don't even belong. Furthermore, being in college, surrounded by those who seem to have that which I crave so desperately, close friends and a love I have yet to experience, only serves as a constant reminder that I am not good enough to be seen or chosen. So, I distance myself from any possibility of my dreams coming into fruition so as to protect myself from that which i believe to be inevitable. Either everyone leaves or they don't give me a reason to stay. Is there no end to this madness? I guess we will never really know.

I've been going through a lot lately sleeping at night is very hard for me. I've been isolated and feel I have nobody to talk to. I don't have a Therapist and don't know what to do. #Depression #Insomnia #Isolation

#Bipolar 1 #Anxiety #Depression #PTSD #CPTSD #Isolation #Suicide ideation # 1 time self harm #Stand up comedy for mh. # clowning for MH, public speaking for MH, fought for peer support in my county. # peer lounge waiting for appointments, # 3 housing projects put up while I was active in the community.

I am medically disabled and unable to work. I have found that the longer I am home, the more isolated I get. I have tried to volunteer, but frequently have to cancel due to one symptom or another. How do others in a similar situation deal with this issue? Any tips, ideas, or suggestions? #multiple Sclerosis #chronicpancreatits #Diabetes #Pain #Isolation

I have been on the mighty for 3 years but have been away for a while. I don't post, so this is new for me. I live my life by the motto "first do no harm" I am a very negative person by nature and I know what a drag on a person's energy that can be so I have chosen to live my life in isolation.
I have no family or friends because of my choice, not the family part, they chose that. I have always been on the outside looking in from childhood on. We moved every 2 years when I was growing up so I learned not to get close to anyone as it wouldn't last.
It was a lesson learned too well. I don't know how to make friends and have shielded myself from people by being for lack of a better word, an ass. I don't like who I am and I have a great capacity for kindness and compassion but no one gets to see that side of me because of very deep rooted trust and vulnerability issues. I respond well to kindness but the world is full of meanness and cruelty which is what makes me hide away from it. I can care about individuals given the chance, but humanity as a whole in my my admittedly skewed view sucks. I apologize that this isn't an inspiring or happy post. These are just things I needed to get out. Thanks for listening

Rachel experiences perfectly articulates what I've experienced so far with mental health crisis /liaison services and how terrified I feel about having to be *assessed* by a stranger whilst feeling unsafe and exhausted yet with little other options. So I'm a bit envious of how she had a mum and friend to go in with her to A&E.. and a best friend at university when her first episode happened. Some people have no one at all.... at least it can feel that way.
I hope she got the help she needed.. 🙏🏾
