Hi, my name is Michael Shlain. I'm a writer and filmmaker who has struggled with depression in the past and would often describe the experience as my consciousness descending into a kind of "underworld." Reading psychologist James Hillman and author Thomas Ligotti helped validate this experience and now many of my films explore this topic.

Hi, my name is Selly. I'm here because I am on my way to get stable and I found a lot that helps me. I want to share my journey with you because you are not alone and it does get better.
Hi, my name is atwoheadedsnake2279. I've been diagnosed with NMOSD which is rare and not listed on the options for this site. However, it is a mimicker of MS and often misdiagnosed. I'd love to share my journey, raise awareness, and be in community with others seeking healing in all its forms.

Most people think mental strength comes from controlling their thoughts, but real progress happens when you stop treating every thought as urgent or true. By pausing, labeling thoughts as mental events, and redirecting attention back to the body or the present moment, you interrupt the automatic cycle that fuels anxiety and emotional spirals. This is a skill that gets easier with repetition, not perfection. Even a few moments of not following a thought can give your nervous system relief. Which thought do you notice pulling you in the most lately?
Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer
