Story of when I went to a residential program in Florida

So like I remember this one girl that was working at the center I was in who was really friendly. She told me to make a wish and it will come true. I think it might actually be coming true but to be honest I should have made a better wish because my life right now is like I am barely living. It would mean the absolute world to me if I got more wishes that can be granted so I can live a more happy fulfilling life. I have always been a spiritual person and I really need so many more wishes to come true. I hope I do get more wishes from someone that will be granted. I am not telling ya’ll what I wished for haha #CheckInWithMe #Disability #MentalHealth #Depression #MajorDepressiveDisorder #Mania #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #Schizophrenia #Psychosis #Bipolar2 #BipolarDepression #BipolarDisorder #Anxiety #PTSD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #PostTraumaticStressDisorder #Selfharm #PostpartumDisorders #SuicidalIdeation #SuicidalThoughts #Suicide #ChronicIllness #ADHD #Addiction #Autism #AutismSpectrumDisorder #AnorexiaNervosa #BingeEatingDisorder #AspergersSyndrome #AnkylosingSpondylitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #Arthritis #Cancer #BreastCancer #Caregiving #CerebralPalsy #CrohnsDisease #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Endometriosis #Epilepsy #Dysautonomia #Grief #Stroke #WarmWishes #MightyTogether #ChronicInflammatoryDemyelinatingPolyneuropathy #Fibromyalgia #Gastroparesis #Loneliness #CongenitalHeartDefectDisease #ChiariMalformation #FunctionalNeurologicalDisorder

I am overweight. My doctor says I need to lose weight for health benefits. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know how I can lose 80 pounds quickly and safely? Please tell me all the healthy foods I can eat to lose weight, easy tricks, and how I can keep my weight off forever. It would mean the world to me if I lost all this unwanted weight and kept it off forever. I was on Adipex (a weight loss medication prescribed by doctors) years ago and it damaged my skin caused really bad acne scarring on my face and even worse I gained back more weight than I was before eventually. I don’t want to tell anyone my weight, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Please don’t comment telling me how it’s okay to be overweight or you struggle with your weight too because that doesn’t help and nobody wants to be fat unless if you’re stupid #MentalHealth #CheckInWithMe #Obesity #MightyTogether #Disability #Anxiety #BipolarDisorder #PTSD #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #Schizophrenia #Depression #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #BipolarDepression #Bipolar2 #Psychosis #Trauma #Selfcare #Selfharm #Suicide #SuicidalThoughts #SuicidalIdeation #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #PostTraumaticStressDisorder #ADHD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #ChronicIllness #Autism #AutismSpectrumDisorder

I don’t want to live off of medications for my mental illness. I want to be cured forever

I wish I can function like a normal person and not need to live off of pills everyday. It would be a miracle if I didn’t need to take medications and can live life like a normal person not having to medicate myself each day. My medications that I am on for my mental illness have side effects and it sucks. I don’t want to take it but I have to do because I can’t be stable without it. Hopefully one day soon that changes miraculously and I won’t ever take back any pills ever again.

I need help. I am not the person I want to be. I hate the way people treat me

I have been in and out of mental hospitals/therapy. It’s like I can’t find the right mental help for myself. Everyday I feel like I am running crazy. I tried so many different prescription pills. I hate the way I look. I am close to 30 and a virgin. Never even had a good looking man ask me out to eat. All the men I ever liked said I was ugly and rejected me. How do you expect me to be happy? And yes I do like very attractive men but i wouldn’t say I am the most attractive because if I was, I wouldn’t be having all these problems. I was bullied so much.

Schizoaffective Disorder

Not sure if anyone will find this interesting, but I sometimes have moments of lucidity into what it’s like living with schizoaffective disorder. I’m not up to date on the latest research, but from my experience, I believe the "split" in schizophrenia is actually a survival or coping mechanism in response to extreme duress.

When I’m not split from myself, I’m much more sensitive to pain. I notice how my skin can feel like it’s burning, and how each passing moment carries a suffocating gravity with it. It’s difficult to sit with these sensations, but meditation has helped me find ways to channel and understand the pain and discomfort. In a lot of ways, it’s helping me come back to myself — one little step at a time. Acknowledging and understanding why the pain is there, and then integrating it into my life, rather than numbing it out or splitting away from it. It’s agony sometimes, but it’s worth it to feel anything again.

I think the disorganized thinking often seen in schizophrenia is a symptom of that split. When you create a second self that’s numb to what your authentic self is experiencing, you lose your true anchor. It becomes easy to get caught up in the whirls and eddies of other people’s consciousness and motives, without realizing you’ve become completely detached from your own values. (This is actually what my children’s book was about.)

When the second self gets corrupted, it’s understandable that the personality loses its integrity and becomes fragmented and disorganized.

Those of us with schizoaffective disorder are a small subset of the population — but in some ways, I think this happens to everyone, just to different degrees. I’m grateful I’m making progress in navigating this disease. If sharing this helps someone else who’s struggling, even better.#SchizophreniaSpectrumPsychoticDisorders #schizoaffective #Schizophrenia

All I want is for this wish to be granted for me. It would mean the world. Everyone please grant this for me if you know it will come true, COMMENT!

I wish for all my desires to always come true right away instantly.
I would be happy for the rest of my life if this wish comes true for me. If you all know it will be granted for me comment saying that my wish will come true. My desires are personal but it is nothing that is bad. I really hope that my wish comes true soon. I hope everyone’s wishes on here come true too. I wish you all the very best.

Worried about what is gonna happen to me when my parents die at old age

I can’t function without my medications for my mental illness. I am 28 years old and disabled. My parents are the only ones who provide for me and I don’t talk to any of my family. My family knows I have a serious mental health condition and most don’t even ask how I am doing. I don’t get along with my older sister, she don’t like me and I don’t care for her because she is a mean nasty person. My parents have said mean things to me in my past but they are the ones who help me the most and give me a roof over my head that is clean and comfortable. I am grateful for that. They aren’t the richest but they have enough to live off of. I just hope I have my life together before they die at old age and I can manage to take care of myself. I need to be more independent. I don’t want to be miserable at old age in a mental hospital. I have been to mental hospitals way too many times. I hope that I find the right mental help that can help me in the long run and I don’t suffer anymore. #MentalHealth #CheckInWithMe #BipolarDisorder #BipolarDepression #Depression #MajorDepressiveDisorder #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #Schizophrenia #Psychosis #Anxiety #PanicAttacks #Trauma #Selfharm #SuicidalThoughts #Suicide #Disability #ChronicIllness #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder

I disagree with what the church says and what the Bible says

My church pastor told me not to call the cops on my parents and to honor my parents like what it says in the Bible. Why should I do that when my dad told me he doesn’t want to keep me? I don’t care what they say. I am not Jesus. I won’t be beat by a stick like he did for the world. I am a sinner and I know I am not innocent but these church people, I don’t always agree with what they are saying. Why should we turn the other cheek from others? What if that person takes everything from us and leaves us with nothing? Oh please screw that. My parents barely take me anywhere. I have been in a mental hospital more than 15 times and they aren’t the most supportive people, they don’t know what to do. I am done. I am not gonna follow what the bible says #MentalHealth #Disability #CheckInWithMe #BipolarDisorder #Anxiety #Trauma #Selfharm #Schizophrenia #Psychosis #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder

I am almost close to 30 years old and don’t know if I have a successful future ahead

Honestly I feel like giving up on God and just keep going to the mental hospital constantly. I hate the way God made me. I have really bad mental health issues and probably don’t even have the brightest future ahead unless if I have a lucky star. I spent most of my years in and out of mental hospitals. I barely lived life and sometimes I don’t care if I die because I am not living a life I want and I feel miserable #MentalHealth #Anxiety #ADHD #AnorexiaNervosa #Bipolar2 #Bipolar1 #BipolarDepression #BipolarDisorder #CheckInWithMe #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #Schizophrenia #Psychosis #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #PTSD #Trauma #SuicidalIdeation #SuicidalThoughts #Selfharm #Autism #Addiction #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Manic #Grief #Diabetes #DiabetesType1 #DiabetesType2 #MajorDepressiveDisorder #EatingDisorders
