How do you deal or cope with family or friends that think depression is just in your head? How do you deal when they want you to rush through the process so they can see that you feel “normal” again? #LetsTalkAboutIt #help

Hey Mighties ...... #MentalHealth #CheckInWithMe #Selfcare #Depression #Anxiety #COVID19

New Group
Advice Addict ♥️

Hey Mighties I have created a new group , after having a suggestion from my friend as a joke I thought maybe it could be a good idea .

I want to use it as a sort of Agony Aunt platform where we can all share our questions, stories etc and get support from each other.

It's only from my life experiences and not in anyway a professional opinion. I have experience in volunteering at support groups relating to my own issues etc so just wanting to use this space for that.

A safe place to ask questions or advice and for us all to share together. Can be anything at all.

Sometimes I seem to be alot better at giving advice than taking my own at times so just looking to give it a try and see how it goes.

I have been a mighty member for over 5 years now and have a few groups which have gained alot of members so I'm hoping this can be the same .

I will be posting daily on it also doing questions and also sharing my own struggles .

Link for the group is above.

Let's talk about it .....

"Hey Emma"
♥️😊

Can someone help me #unpack this? ALL Honest POV welcomed! #friendshipstruggles

So I have this really random, possibly extremely shallow, idea to only have female #Friends that are not straight or more on the same sex spectrum than I am.

Here me out.... I’ve sometimes seem to find girl friends that were not really my friends... (healthy friendships have came and gone but those ended mostly bc of me) like we could hang out and have great times but it was chitter chatter behind my back and always making me seem as if being me came at a cost to them. Mind you I’m an easy target bc I avoid confrontation bc I don’t know how to control my anger once it released. (long story....)

Anyways back to the topic: making friends with girls that like the same sex or more attracted to the same sex. See I wouldn’t have to deal with the insecurity for trying to be chosen... sounds sad right but it’s a start for me anyways. I have #Nofriends after deciding on what I can and cannot deal with in a friend.......

So I would like to invite everyone who reads this to share an idea in the comments! Please no hate and respect their POV. #LetsTalkAboutIt #Advice

If you’re struggling, read this.

The last few days have been good and I’m starting to develop some coping skills for my anxiety, since it’s become almost unbearable and has impacted every aspect of my life. I’m trying to be kinder to myself, forgive myself, and remind myself that these feelings of shame, embarrassment, self-loathing, frustration, and hopelessness that have thrown me right back into my depression after almost ten years of being free of it are simply growing pains.

Having both of these conditions at the same time takes unbelievable strength just to make it through the day. Sadly, a lot of people don’t realize just how brave you have to be just to stay alive.

If you are suffering, know that you are actually suffering.
If you are overwhelmed with feelings others don’t understand, remember that your feelings are valid.

You are no less of a person because of your mental illness.
I’m proud of you for fighting so hard every single day. ❤️

It’s almost 2020 and it’s about time mental illness and suicide prevention became part of our daily conversation.

Talking about it and acknowledging it can save so many lives!

“When it rains, look for rainbows and when it’s dark, look for stars” 🌈✨

So I don’t post on here as much as I should. But, over the last few days, I feel like I have improved so much over everything (for now, I’m having a good week). I am still yet to receive my #Medication and be referred for different #therapies but I still want to try and continue as normal. I’m undecided about whether I should go for this job that I have enquired about, they said they would give me a ring tomorrow, but I keep thinking...maybe I need something positive to focus on? If I get settled on some medication, maybe that’ll help me lead a normal life. I used to be on medication, then decided to try and manage without it. It’s been 2 years since I took any medication for any of my issues, maybe it’s time to give it a go again.

On a more happy note, I made a new friend the other day via this platform, and I feel totally blessed. It has also inspired me to put my name out there for any of you who feel like they need a friend, a chat, someone to reach out to - somebody to listen to. My twitter is @katie_blacck and my instagram is @katieblacck. My truly beautiful friend has inspired me to do this and I hope she realises the positive impact she’s had on my life over these last few days 💗 I feel like I can conquer anything right now, and I feel like our energies have clashed in a good way. I’m so blessed and it has gave me determination to reach out more on this app. I hope you’re all doing okay xo

My Struggle with Death #Suicide #Awareness #LetsTalkAboutIt

Exhale

Sweet breath of life that is so faint
Come to me in my darkest hour
Don’t forsake me or lead me astray
For I am yours to the bitter end
One with you, I cannot fade

Leave me no more in this wicked place
My time for dally has come to an end
Giver of life, I do regret
Not getting to know you sooner than this
Wanton sighs are toxic reminders of our wretched past
Stay with me now and I promise you this
As long as I live I will cherish you greatly

Besmirch me no more, sweet breath of life
Peace you will bring with your final adventure
Your parting is my salvation, lovingly so
Wrathful as it may be, my darkness is gone…
Illuminated by even the weakest of candles
