...See more Hi Guys, So i had a moment of stillness last night and came up with this poem. I've never really written any before so i wanted to know if this is any good and if it could be a way of channeling myself. Its a bit of a sad one though. It's just how i feel people feel alone and ostracized when dealing with mental illness. Scarlet Threads Scarlet threads draped intricately along her soft skin the outward expression of her mind's implosion the bridge toward the light eaten away by the corrosion she tries to ignore the voices, she felt the storm begin. she tried to kill the cancer thought she'd find the answer percieved she'd be relieved "oh, look, my joy lies just around that corner" sharp bend, the world came crashing on her. she absorbed the pain and unspoken words of shame no hand reached out, no shoulders offered, "she has only herself to blame" no empathy, nor sympathy yet and abundance of scrutiny its a cruel world, an onlooker to the calamity offering nothing but a laugh, a like, a share, they praise the mindless and slight the mindful, she always knew she was different, a prickly pear. but cover it up, dress it up, make it up; the guise the direful a raging storm repressed in a serene disposition it turned her spirit numb, detatching from existence she questions her purpose; it's getting too heavey, the weight of her affliction the voices shouting louder with emphatic persistance gleaming silver, scarlet thread, here she lies draped in white and bloodstained red. ................ Yeah .. so thats it. Is it any good? do you think writing stuff helps with coping? What do you find helps you most?

...See more Hey guys, so I'm new to these forum things so let me know if I'm not doing this right :) I am now 23, and I have been dealing with my depression for about 8 years now, and many people say it gets better over time, but I found that it doesn't, but somehow you get stronger. I still battle with my own demons, but I have ways in which I can push myself to live. As much as I struggle, I push myself to live and embrace life as one day we will die anyway. I do depend on 7 cups to help me when I feel I can't handle it on my own as I do not have an emotional support system. I come from a place that doesn't take mental health seriously, and this is where I want to help people. Over the past year, there has been so much suicide in our community yet I find that in our society, people find something to blame it on like drugs or alcohol or an ex-partner. But, I feel like there's more. Society doesn't want to accept the reality of people who go through mental struggles and can't handle it on their own and end up taking their lives because they feel like they are crazy or that they have no one. And this makes me so upset and incedibly sad. Because i know how it feels, and i just want young people going through this to know there is another option, but here's my problem, i don't know how i can help. I need advice on ways i can use what I know to help others. So can anyone just help give me ideas.
