@Hope
I joined not long ago for a safe place to vent without my closest freinds seeing and then i took a break and got mentally worse and now im on here alot lol i have troubles with self-harm anixiety possibly ptsd due to past tramatic events when i was a kid and self esteem issues but after coming here it all seems alot less to bear on my own and i feel a little better now

Hey, I joined here yesterday. I was feeling very alone and sad but after coming here, I realized that I'm not the only one and I also found a great listener who is very easy to talk to. So I just wanna say if any of you ever wanna talk to me, I'll always try to be there for you. Thank you for having me here.

Okay.. so I guess I have found the right place. I have a understanding in my head as to what's somewhat going on... but it sounds crazy. I see so many people on here posting positive happy things, the word association games validate that I am where I need to be - but I am still trying to grasp what is really going on. I dont know if I have any teachers leading me other than what's being provided to me in my search results, those around me that clearly know and have played their role - did it to a level of trauma so they have made it very difficult for me to trust anyone. As I ask questions make statements about what I "think" is going on, answers are always "yes, your correct" but that can't be right - others just won't talk about it. I have been down for so long and have started to feel so "ups" but crash immediately after a glimmer of hope. Coincidences are like rides at Disneyland, one after another. I have opened my mind and my heart to accept any truth about what is going on. I wrote this this poem, I don't know how aligned it is with anyone or if this is just my own dream track I'm on, but these are my thoughts.... i hope this is okay to share if anyone wants to nudge me in a good way to just raise their eyebrows and lashes to let me know that I'm not out of mind, that's really all I am looking for outside of the very small circle around me that I have a hard to time trusting...

Left is right, up is down and 5 is always 5? Whether we know it or not we all belong to a connected hive.

His story is history, the way it needs to be told.... but in this world... I think... it is still good to be Gold.


Where orders are more than one might perceive and our life tracks may interweave.

It is as old as time with many that know the secrets in front of our eyes, where rain can fall from more than just the our cloudy grey skies.

Targets are constant with 5s seeking proof, with 7s viewing secretly viewing within your private roof. When they both feel that have secured their case, away to 9 to show the face.

Hearts are weighed and souls are tested to decide the ultimate fate... so to those that hit that slippery slope....Follow your heart, open your eyes, before it's to fucking late.

Many are blind and do not see the necessity of this way but these are truly the heros that ensure that villans pay.

Who is good who is bad, it depends on who you ask... as for me, from where I stand, I understand and respect their task.

I'm on a fence, I see each side... I do not shudder, I do not hide. What I know is privileged, "secrete" and this I will hold tight, I know my place I'm not one to judge whether this is wrong or right... from my heart what I feel is...... what oneside sees as darkness the other see's and light.

Joined today, i have a problem with alcohol , i need to cut back or quit. I am fighting with my wife and dont spend enough time with my son

Hello everyone, started my listener journey yesterday and have already had some really useful conversations with people.

this is such a great app for people who just need someone to talk to.

Welcome to everyone new to the site

Hi,

I am just now figuring out I have anxiety and that's why all my life I have been crippled giving speeches and why I just stop caring. I skipped school just to avoid a speech. I have bad grammar and punctuation so I have had a hard time chatting online in fear of judgment, but at some point I have to start somewhere. Cause I literally can't talk to people let alone strangers. Otherwise, I will be stuck in my mind and never here for my kids or my husband. What woke me up was my children they started to show the same signs as I have that I don't like about myself. My son is only ten and has anxiety about the twins getting hurt. To the point he won't play he watches them. So, I had my husband call and make me a therapy appointment and I plan on having my kids go so hopefully they will become the opposite of whoever I have became. I tremble when someone comes down my driveway. I panick when someone is coming over. I cancel all my plans with people I want to hang out with. I can't even share with my husband, who is my person, my childhood or what I remember of it. I can't share with him how I feel and I don't know why. I can text it to him but I can't physically talk to him about. I'm afraid I will lock up at the therapist office so I wrote everything down what I can't do or what I don't like about myself. Such as I can't have a conversation. I don't know how to talk to people besides "Hi, how are you?" No self-esteem. No confidence. Don't know how to deal with emotions (bottle everything). Can't confront parents or anyone else. I feel like a ten year old is more superior than I am. I say sorry for everything even when I'm not sorry. I over read people's facial expressions. I can't even see myself in the mirror for who I am, example I think I'm fat and I weighed myself and 133lbs, but I still don't see it. And I do not believe what people say when I get complements.

But then I wrote my good traits I am loyal to a tea once your my friend, I am determined now that I am awake, and I am able to always see both sides of the story. I love horses and I own and train my own horses. I love nature and sharing my love of animals with my five kids. I am going to my first appointment on January 18th and I can't wait to start this journey and find out who I am suppose to be. I have also decided to work on my writing skills. One of many skills I hope to learn as I begin. I also, started meditation.
Hope I did this right and thank you for taking the time to read it.

We're trying this on a bit of a whim. We are a multiple system (though don't have DID, OSDD, or anything like that, we're just more than one), and we're here because our mental health has been really bad lately. We have OCD and lately we've been dealing with safety OCD so bad we can't sleep and it's hard for us to go to work. We decided to join here because we need help but can't figure out where to go, and we found this place through a Google search haha

We do have other mental illnesses, but OCD is the one that's really killing us right now.

Hi,

I'm sure anyone who overthinks or are sensitive to certain situations in their life can become upset. I found myself needing someone to talk to about my situation without biases or judgement. I found that on this website and I wanted to be a part of a community who seeks a listening ear and guidance.

i joined this site because ive been battling mental illness for a very long time. i dont know what else to say, sorry. :')
