Socialization Failure

Well I tried downloading an app that people said would be good for socialization for someone in my position that's in a semi independent assisted living home called discord and it was very scary, toxic and just plain crude and disturbing.. apparently they have different servers on there that you can join to communicate and relate to other people thatay be in or experience/experienced the same things you have been going through or have went through. -100000/10 would not recommend. Does anyone know a good app that's free to use that you can chat with people that are in similar living situations like alternative housing/semi independent assisted living homes or even group homes so I would be able to relate to someone else possibly going through the same situations I am in. I want to socialize so desperately but it's hard in this day and age. I'm 27 and will be 28 this year and the more days that pass, honestly the weirder people seem to get. I just want some honest, genuine and healthy communication that's non judgemental. As soon as I start on other chat apps the seriousness of my conditions, my living conditions (just in case they want to try and meet up) and my mental health. They turn very honestly so judgmental and evil. What a sad state of the world we live in today. #BipolarDisorder #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #assistedlivinghome

If you could give your younger self a greeting card, what kind would you choose—and what would you write in it?

The other day, I found myself in the gift section of a local convenience store, picking out something for a friend. As I passed the greeting cards, some made me laugh, while others caught my attention with their beautiful and thoughtful designs. It got me thinking: if I were to give my younger self a card, which one would I choose, and what would I say?

I’ve been reflecting on this, and I think I’d choose one with pop-out butterflies, glitter, and bright, vibrant colors. Inside, I’d write: “You’re safe now. It’s okay to relax your shoulders and take a deep breath. You deserve to feel proud of yourself. Despite everything you’ve been through, you are a sight to behold—a true treasure.”

What about you?

My #1 mental health goal for May is...

Happy May, Mighties! 💐

It’s already May—let’s check in on our goals. What’s your main mental health goal this month? What do you want to make sure you’re actively working on or moving toward?

I’ll go first! For me, it’s being more mindful of my stress levels. They really impacted my health in April, so I need to make stress management my #1 priority moving forward.

How about you?

I’m new here!

Hi, I’m lateforthis. My daughter was diagnosed with bipolar I and schizoaffective disorder last year. This follows handfuls on handfuls of medical stabilizations, psychiatric admissions, IOPs, PHPs, overdoses, suicide attempts, and residential stays from age 13-15. I can’t summarize it all. She turned 18 last month and its a new kind of hell. I need community who gets this.

What's a text you'd love to receive?

A simple message can go a long way—especially when someone is having a tough time. But for those who haven’t experienced depression, knowing what to say isn’t always easy.

What’s a text message you’d love to receive in the midst of depression? Why would that message feel helpful, encouraging, or comforting to you?

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is skyzalemmett. I'm here because I would love to learn more about what I've been living with for most of my life and/or have been diagnosed with . I have multiple diagnoses, and sometimes they can be hard to navigate. I'm looking for support, education, knowledge, wisdom, and ways to manage my illnesses while still taking time to do what I love.
