    Not sure if this is dissociating or over-regulating

    That whole being so good at masking that no one can see it is definitely both a blessing and a curse. But that’s exactly why I’ve learned I have to blatantly tell someone and ask for support because they won’t see it. But on the same hand it sucks to be that invisible, especially since I for...

    Major Depressive Disorder/PTSD

    That’s definitely a good point, that clinical depression **isnt situational** it’s just odd because this is the first time for me it hasn’t been also situational. The scary thing is, that March has hardly begun. Like, it’s only going to get worse from here before it gets better.

    Not sure if this is dissociating or over-regulating

    I relate to this so much. I compartmentalize so hard, I too can just shove my mental breakdown into a “box” and force myself to act and sound a certain way. Some people can notice but only if they are almost completely unselfish and extremely observant (hint, there’s not many of those people). I...

    Depressed over the fact that I’m not where I wanna be in life - 28 years old

    I know it sounds like basic advice, but everyone is a different person living a different life than you. Don’t compare your life to others, because you’re on a different journey. Rather than looking at everything wrong, choose one thing to focus on and improve. Your life can improve, you are not...

    Panic Attacks: How do they work?

    Yeah I have this experience with PTSD. I can compartmentalize and tough it out and deal with something later but if I don’t deal with it, I will lose control of when it hits. Yeah I get that So hard to tell tbh, whether or not it’s a true panic attack people are referring to, or what they are...

    Major Depressive Disorder/PTSD

    I’m stubbornly anti-psychiatrics, but then again coffee releases serotonin and dopamine and when I’m depressed I can drink up to three cups in a day. So it’s odd how you subconsciously “medicate” anyways. Sometimes I wonder if I should reconsider my stance on psychiatrics. Idk. It’s nice knowing...

    Panic Attacks: How do they work?

    I hear people say things like “There was a fight at school, it affected me so much I went home and had a panic attack” or “I had a panic attack when I got home”. Is that even possible? Are people taking the license to use the word “panic attack”for attention? From my understand you couldn’t...

    Major Depressive Disorder/PTSD

    I’ve been depressed for two weeks, maybe more, maybe less, hard to keep track. I have PTSD from childhood trauma, and major depressive disorder. At first, I shrugged mdd and gad off as “Well PTSD has depression and anxiety, why do I have a whole two separate diagnosises for these?”. But lately...

    How do your memory issues play out?

    For some practical tips, try to park in the same spot everyday, habit overrides memory (or make “rules” like you always park in the back right side or something (most people try to park close to the entrance so by going against the grain you’ll have better luck at keeping your parking spot) try...

    Do you have a suicide safety plan?

    You’re welcome! I honestly need to do some of the things from this thread. I haven’t been suicidal in two years but it’s one of those things that never **really** goes away.

    Other The truth about Panic Disorder

    Yeah you’re right, I guess I was referring to people that seem to think that can happen instantly. Like “There’s no reason to cry” like yeah I know geez. Do you think I want this 🥲🥲🥲

    Diet and Mental Health

    I wish I could take in as much data on my diet like you do without becoming obsessive about it. It sounds really effective to know all of that about your diet and being able to tweak it.
