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.
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?

2 reactions 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.

Mental and physical health go hand in hand, so when you’re experiencing mental health symptoms, physical symptoms may show up as well.
For me, when my depression feels heavy, I experience extreme fatigue. When I’m really anxious, I tend to feel nauseous and scattered, making it hard to focus.
What about you?

Reframing negative beliefs is a huge part of healing. These would work for anyone, but especially for anyone who struggles with strong emotions or moods. Which one is most helpful to you today? Let us know in the comments below 👇

2 reactions Hi everyone! I am diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder and decided to rejoin The Mighty to get some help and feel not so alone in my journey of recovery. I had a recent psychotic episode and am wondering if anyone else feels like their illness makes it so you don't believe you have an illness? I feel like it takes me a while after each psychotic episode to accept my illness.
