« Thoughts » I guess

Hi so I’m gonna go straight to it because It’s getting really really bad
So uh a few months ago I started having these horrible, disturbing thoughts (usually they’re related to my toe nails don’t ask me why haha) at first it was just things I hated but it escalated really quickly and right now I can’t even focus, think straight for a minute or sit still because of these, which is bad because I’m ...

How Can I Stop Being A Perfectionist

I'll admit that I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I feel that I have to succeed the first time I try at something. I'm not very good at dealing with criticism. Nor am I adept at handling failure. This applies to all aspects of my life. Whether I'm cooking a meal for myself, baking a treat for myself, writing something, or even in gaming. In fact, I feel that everything in my day has to ...

Feel like a black guy when going in stores just looking/shop

Mainly when I am by myself but sometimes with family too.

Anyone else feel like this? I am not being racist promise. I am not racist at all. Just didn't know how else to describe it. Sorry.

Long Absence Long Silence

It's been awhile, since I've been on here. Hello, again. I have Facebook, but I like this format, sometimes. Not that anyone cares, but it's definitely been a journey! There's so much and so little to talk about, it's baffling. I guess I can describe how I'm doing currently: better, after getting on medication (again), for the first time—around—since I was posting on here. Isn't that funky? Well, after getting off of benzodiazepines, I was ...

Why is my normal behaviour treated as mental illness? TW

Trigger Warning: anger at situation.

Also not looking for sympathy, just comments if anyone wants to.

Normal behaviour - If I am able to be straightforward, speak my mind and stand up for my rights I end up being prevented and treated as if it is mental illness. There is no avenue for expression or playing through any personal issue through accurate social interaction. Also Bluntness and disagreement is necessary sometimes.

Instead I am expected ...

Remotely-accessed electronic devices and hypnotic suggestion

Has anyone here ever heard of people having various electronic devices in their possession (e.g. cell phones, televisions with internet access, etc.) getting remotely accessed by total strangers without the informed consent of the owners? It's come to my attention that certain sadistic people have the capability to transmit hypnotic suggestion in order to induce the symptoms of various mental illnesses eventually resulting in full-blown psychosis. It's also come to my attention that this can ...

Childhood Fantasies and Meaning

Though it has been in a constant state of change throughout my fifty-two years of existence, I still engage in the same fantasy, a mental exercise, or whatever term you wish to use since I was at least eight years old, if not younger. Does anyone know if engaging in the same fantasy/mental exercise for most of one's life means anything?

In it, I'm essentially living on a select number of items I'm able to ...

Mental Health in the Current Climate

We are all aware of the world's shortages and where our economy has been heading since 2020. There are some things I can't control, and therefore, I will not worry about them. Nevertheless, I believe that anyone facing mental health challenges is more disadvantaged than the average person in our current environment. Therefore, what can we do as we face even more shortages? I don't want to be caught by surprise nor unprepared.

Last year, ...

Do People Still Want to Be a Child?

In the past, people talked about wanting to remain a child. Since I've returned to this forum, I haven't seen any current discussion on that topic. Do people still feel that way, or have they moved on?

While I want to be a female child on this side of eternity, that probably won't happen. Ideally, I want to be a female child in Heaven, a cute, adorable child. There's nothing in Heaven I want more ...

Advice on my living situation.

Hello! Please tell me, if this is the wrong place for me to say those things or if I did something wrong, if so I wholeheartedly apologize. My personal hopes are that I would be able to find someone who has gone through the same and who found a possible solution for themselves, that I could try. After many therapists and medication, I thought that this would be the best way to better my life ...
