    I’m scared

    I’m better and not, I’m feeling much more stable and less like I’m about to burst into tears at any given moment. I’m still in that weird change state though, I don’t know if you’ve ever been there, where you want to change everything about your life, but it seems like you’re not making any...

    I’m scared

    I’m truly envious that you found so much comfort in religion, it’s tainted for me, I literally got thrown out of Sunday school when I was 13, I think it’s hilarious now, but oh man that’s a whole nother story. The thing is I used to find a lot of peace in prayer, just me and god, I don’t think...

    Pain

    I feel this. A lot! I know what you mean about the medication bit, I’m the same way, I don’t want to kill my liver or fry my brain! And I just don’t FEEL like MYSELF on too many meds, oh man that could be s thread on it’s own! And I have to take meds for psychological problems as well as...

    Pain

    Radical acceptance..... I’m guessing I’m not there lol. I’m very ashamed of my life, not that I necessarily care what others think of me, but I care, I know I won’t be happy until I learn how to live with this, not just exist. I feel like I’ve been waiting for a very long time now, for what I...

    Pain

    I’m not allowed to do yoga, the eds I have means my joints overextend so any stretching movement is no no for me. yes Ehlers Danlos it is! Yes baths are where I spend half my life lol. I have much difficulty finding a balance energy wise though, either I do nothing or I work myself into the...

    Pain

    Sending love and light your way. And I hope we may all conquer the beast that is ptsd. I know when I’m feeling like this it’s the illness talking, that’s why I’m always conflicted. I want to live a life that I’m happy with, but the illness makes me think and feel like I can’t, I don’t deserve...

    Pain

    I don’t know what exactly I want to say here, other than I’m in a lot of physical pain, I have a genetic disorder called h-Eds and fibromyalgia as well, and it’s acting up terribly today. I’m in that place where I want to crawl out of my body, everything is painful, and I’ve hardly gotten out of...

    I’m scared

    I literally lost all the ppl I cared about, so that is genuinely upsetting. I lost them in such stupid ways, and not all my fault, but I’m at fault at least 50 percent. No I’m quite alone rn, which was my comfort zone, but isn’t anymore, hence gotta change some stuff. I’m like in a shame spiral...

    I’m scared

    It’s funny I usually post here in moments of desperation, I don’t know what I need to hear, I’ve been just like allowing the moment to happen and not fighting my feelings- but then every once in a while it feels like I’m in so much sadness that I think it will kill me. But I’m inevitably alive...

    I’m scared

    I’m scared rn. I woke up scared, I think I’m scared of the depths of the pain I feel. Sry I’m kinda baked rn, and it definitely didn’t help. I just want to shut it all off, make myself not care, not be so emotional. If anyone has seen the vampire diaries- I want to turn off my humanity lol. I...

    Very depressed, share your story

    Yes! STAYING on the path to healing is the challenge, and I don’t mean that in a bad way at all, but it can get tricky, I’ll slip a little and the next thing I know I’m falling head first into the rabbit hole. Man I’m bad at replying, but everyone on here, this is why I posted this! I’m so...

    Very depressed, share your story

    Thank you so much for sharing your story, and I’m so proud of you for getting through that situation. I’m having small relapses into depression and suicidal ideation, but they last a short while, but are very intense. I also used to self harm, but I hadn’t in eight years until last month, but it...

    Very depressed, share your story

    Hey guys. I’m feeling like I have nothing left to live for, but holding on for dear life. I’m not happy with my life, none of it, I’ve been balling my eyes out for hours now. Tell me how you are, maybe you’re in a dark place rn, or you’ve been there in the past. I feel so f*cking alone and...

    Can’t stop crying, do movies make you cry?

    Ah yes, starving artist and philosophy major ? makes sense. I didn’t know that about autism, how interesting! Hsp and empaths have some overlap in certain areas with autism, but I can read ppl ALL too well lol.

    Can’t stop crying, do movies make you cry?

    I always knew I was an oddball, this has happened to me since I was a little kid apparently, I would have disproportionately huge meltdowns over fictional characters! I actually am a person that can’t cry, I mostly feel nothing day to day. My aunt has the same problem she hasn’t cried since she...

    Can’t stop crying, do movies make you cry?

    I literally can’t stop, it’s horrible to really feel things for me, even if I’m alone when I cry, which I am, I’m crying alone about a movie, although it must be more than that, but boy did it hit me in the gut. It was called; “ Call me by your name” if anyone has seen it you’ll understand. I’m...

    Bonfire—toss your sh*t here

    What a beautiful idea, I already wrote a goodbye letter to my eating disorder about 7 years ago, and we haven’t talked since..... rituals like this can be very cathartic, I’d like to burn quite a lot. Self hatred, shame, my need to hide everything about myself, the desire to be invisible. My...

    Texted my therapist and told her I don't want to get better

    Hey ? first off, I don’t judge you for your feelings or even beliefs about these types of things, both my mom and my dad especially have been horribly and in ethically treated by so called psychiatric doctors, I would share my dads story, but he explicitly asked me not to, all I can say is that...

    Hi there! The series of unfortunate events

    Yes it was, kind of lol(EDS) Super disconcerting appointment, I have a therapist, she’s new, I don’t really like her, but I generally like very few ppl. I guess it doesn’t matter, I’m doing Neurofeedback with her, idk might help. I got sent to her for ptsd but I don’t seem to fit the criteria...

    Texted my therapist and told her I don't want to get better

    Hey ?, I’m sorry things are this dark for you, I’m in a similar situation, haven’t been truly happy since being like 12 years old. Idk if you should think you chose this, I personally believe no one truly chooses their life, the more I live the more I’m coming to realize it’s just out of my...

    Hi there! The series of unfortunate events

    Dear Diary? This is weird, I usually just write in an actual book, but I wanna share this with ppl who might get it, or maybe not! As that feels like the ever constant trend in my life. Some things about me; I’m bitter, I love all animals ?, they don’t betray you. I have ehlers Danlos...

    Depression, how does it affect you?

    The zombie thing omg yes. I should have added a question on whether antidepressants make the really depressing times even weirder. Like they make me much less visibly depressed, I function, but I feel dead inside. Thank you for everyone who responded, and I’m sorry you are feeling low, or have...

    Depression, how does it affect you?

    Depression is weird, it can take so many different forms. For me, it’s like I’m dragging rocks around with me, every where I go, everything I do, it’s like I’m dragging a ten ton brick around with me. I’m listless and uninspired, and what really scares me is that I’ve lost my drive to succeed. I...
