****on break, currently on self care leave!! Thank you for your understanding!🥰****


Hello, you can call me Paris, or Bee! Whatever you prefer! 

Please feel free to reach out to me if you feel in need of a friend or someone to listen! 💜

I have personal experiences with depression, anxiety, insomnia, grief, trauma…. Everyone navigates these differently, and i think it’s so important to reach out to others- often times there being a large merit just to have someone to talk to about it, even if they don’t fully understand through their own experience! 

Growth is a process, and it isn’t always linear, unfortunately. However, just by being here today is a huge step to help overcome whatever challenge you’re going through. Reaching out for help is so beneficial, and you’re already here to do just that! 

You can get through this- you’re already one step further in doing so!

Overcoming depression apathy?

...See more Hello! id like to start this out by saying I’m generally a very, very empathetic person. That being said, I have struggled with severe depression in the past. I come from a very strict, non-emotive family, so I had to navigate through it virtually alone. It was an incredibly difficult time of my life. I managed to overcome it, and though I still have off days, I’ve mostly returned to a more positive outlook on life in general. HOWEVER, I know I’m still heavily damaged from that experience. While I was going through it, I knew exactly how to help others in a depressed state, because I was the exact same. But now, I fear that perhaps I haven’t actually grown from my depression- I’ve suppressed it. And when anyone else goes through a remotely sad time, I almost snap at them, and have to seriously refrain from telling them to get over it or just overall changing the subject and not even acknowledging what they’re going through. It’s not anger, necessarily- it’s more like a panic, an instinct to shut down and redirect the conversation completely. I used to be so good with others, I always told myself I would handle it differently than my parents did if I ever saw someone going through a depressed state. I struggle with this every day- I know it’s completely inappropriate to be upset with someone who is depressed; and I know I need to work on it but I’m just not sure how. I feel like a monster. I guess my question is, has anyone else out there gone through a similar experience? Is so, do you have any tips on overcoming it? Not just becoming sympathetic with others and moving on, but I want to become empathetic again. I want to be able to get into deep conversations with them, help them navigate through this difficult emotion without wanting to default to ‘get over it’ or ‘it’ll be fine.’ please, if anyone at all has any tips, I beg you reach out to me! I know I’m very damaged, and I have to get through this- I’m just not sure how. Am I still depressed, but suppressing it perhaps? Or am I just damaged from the trauma of having to deal with it by myself? Am I doomed to forever feel apathy towards people who deserve the most help— for something so complex, so complicated? please, let me know any thoughts or criticisms you have! I would love to hear it!! 💜

Health Anxiety

...See more Hello! I’m 20 years old and have severe anxiety- mostly due to not knowing what my future holds. I’m very sickly, which inhibits my ability to work, or go out much. Not to mention, my health being bad also brings on anxieties when any new health problem arises, no matter how small; my mind seems to blow it up into yet another potential problem. I think this support group will be very helpful to me. Seeing others go through similar anxieties reminds me that I’m never alone in this— no one is.
