I wish I could tell everybody that...
I'm not always happy and I am going through a lot right now :)
I am lonely and I need someone
@HLAlone There are people out there, somewhere. Look around and lean on those who you trust. And look around on here too!
I wish I could tell everybody that I'm not really a mean or intimidating person to talk to. I have bad social anxiety but if you keep trying with me, I can be a really great friend.
I wish I could tell everyone that the reason I don't want to go out/hang out/participate isn't because of them, but it's because of an illness you can't see. I may look fine, but I just can't do the things I used to be able to do when I was 16.....now I'm 27.
I wish I could tell everybody that mental health issues are also illnesses. People suffer from that and the sufferers are not 'crazy'. Even people close to them might be suffering from a type of mental health problems without them knowing. Even people who are as active in clubs and sports and organizations as me. Even people who have 100% attendance. Even people who always smiles.
Including me, society, including people like me. I am a proof. Yet people always say that people like me can't possibly have mental health issues.
No, everyone can have mental health issues. Just everyone can catch a cold.
@UniqueLife Yup, that is what is such a pain in the butt about mental health issues...you can't just say, oh, I'm feeling horribly depressed today, how about you? Like you would if you had a cold. Knowing that other people feel like this sometimes helps. Hang in there and message if you want.
I wish I could tell everybody that mental illnesses, self harm and sexuality and gender issuses are NOT something to joke about.
I wish I could tell everybody to stop ignoring me and/or excluding me from stuff and then yell at me because "I did nothing".
I wish I could tell everybody that saying things like "Don't be so sad", "Stop isolating yourself", "Talk to people", "Go outside" etcetera, it doesn't fix anything, it only makes me want to snap your neck a little bit more than I did before. Seriously, it's just like saying "Go sniff some pollen" to a person who is allergic to pollen.
I wish I could tell eveybody that if I cry, it's not because I am stupid. It's because I am sensitive and lonely and I get yelled at and beaten up enough at home.
I'm depressed and Need help.
I'm not actually strong and most of the time I just want to cry.
@B4dreams you did the most difficult thing already, you took your really first step saying it.
Congratulations
@B4dreams just keep it up and try to stay focus on being okay, its okay to cry, just think that better things are yet to come :3
i wish i could tell people that i have an eating disorder (instead of always trying to hide and lie about it), it makes me feel guilty to lie to my friends and family, yet i cant help but try to hide it :(
@lollypop1995 I understand, I was always worried that my family and friends would be ashamed of me. Before I could tell them, my brother did, and it was a mixed experience. At first they were shocked and didn't know what to do, but they quickly adjusted and set rules in place for me (something I didn't even know I needed). Now it's a much healthier environment, and they are more accepting to buying better foods that I know I can keep in.
My friends on the other hand, wholeheartedly accepted me! They were and are a resource I can always talk to when things get scary!
Its incredibly hard to come out with this sort of stuff, but trust me when I say you will not regret it in the long run.
i feel lonely and i am scared of not finding the right person for me.
