This year has been absolutely the worst year in my life so many things have happened (too personal to share) but I’m really trying to go on through the day and have a good attitude that the medicine will work and that I can be happy again. Does anyone have any good tips on staying positive and motivated?

Hey,

I’ve been heavily struggling with my mental health now for a really long time and have recently discovered my mum has schizophrenia and unintentional was emotionally abusive. This has opened my eyes quite a lot as to why I feel the way I do however although knowing this information has improved my quality of life and mental health a lot I am still really struggling. It is hard because I want to have the ...

I feel like my life is a sinking ship that started off with one hole and water started pouring in and then there became more holes and I can’t fix them anymore.
I am 30 and I have ptsd, EUPD clinical depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I lost my mum, I also may have coeliac and I don’t really have much going for me anymore

I’ve been trying to get help for my mental health ...

Hi people!

I just felt I needed to get this thing off my chest that has been bugging me:
A few days ago I visited the psychiatric emergency for the fifth time this year, I felt like I couldn't wait for my doctors appointment to adjust my antidepressants.
So I needed a new prescription and the doctor I met kept arguing with me when I told him about my symptoms, basically saying "don't do that, ...

I suffer from devastating fatigue, anxiety, constant feelings of terror, hyper-awareness, visual disturbances, numbed out from reality, brain fog, stomach nausea, headache, dizziness, buzzing sensations and feeling weak in my body. I'm unable to work and unable to study.

I started taking my new medication (Ritaline) today morning, and although my contact nurse confirmed to me that my new medication should kick in instantly, nothing's happened. Given the nature and severity of my condition and ...

I am sad simply, Because i feel so lonely, cheated and being used by a girl. She cheated me for loving her honestly,. I had now no connection with family also, i intentionally kept a distance from them because i feel so weak as a individual. I am so feeling low like i feel to do nothing. Jusy lie in my bed and goto work and just sit there doing somethig for someone. I feel ...

I seem to have a paranoia problem - the same pattery repeats each time.

I start a new job, with the hope of connecting with people. But, over time, I get excluded, I don't have much to say and I start thinking my manager and supervisor are talking about me behind my back and I will be getting dismissed soon. I keep falling into this pattern and I don't want to. I have all these ...

So I have this weird obsession with playing with dolls or figures. I know they aren't alive and that they don't speak, but I like to pretend they do. I talk to them. I make them have families and children and give them their own stories. I like to take them with me in my purse and only have them out when I am with people who are not judging for this odd behavior. I ...

I need some advice. I decided to come to this forum to ask for advice on a particular subject. Basically what happened was at a new school I've been going to for over a month now the people there today have started to act weird. The teacher told one of the kids that a particular tool for a car (it was in auto shop) is as sharp as a razor blade. Then the kid said ...

I feel a lot of really intense guilt and shame that I'm almost 30, I still live at home, I can't work because of mental illness and autism, and I get disability income support. I isolate myself a lot too, which probably makes things worse, but it feels comfortable and safe.

There's two sides of this experience for me. One side is deep shame, guilt, embarrassment, isolation. I don't want anyone to know, I don't ...
