I know there have been some triggering comments of late and we have had people reacting to them. For that, I do apologize. Ali and I do our best to keep inciting comments to a minimum, and making sure that any legitimately triggering topics are labeled as such.

I know that a few of you have mentioned that you are considering leaving over recent events. I hope you reconsider. The mods and admins have been ...

OK Guys, all is fine now, but last night I would have liked to carry through with my plan to end it all. This is way too difficult a life to keep living. So I didn’t, obviously, & here I am, wakening to the same old same old. Wise words from an old T: If you don’t like your life, change it. How I wish I could. I have been around enough to know (or ...

What a nightmare this year has been for me. I had low self-esteem before I got the rhinoplasty so I thought maybe it could make me feel better. HUGE mistake, I am so lost right now.

Hi guys

I just wanted to apologise for not having been around much during the last week. I am really struggling at the moment. One of my usual depressive episodes has hit me but doesn't seem to be going away. I am still hoping it will start to lift in the next few days. I am having a lot of trouble with my dissociation and I'm finding it difficult to concentrate to read and reply ...

Me and my boyfriend fought a lot from the start of my escalating depression.
I started to let myself go and cutting off things from my life(friends, jobs,school, distancing from him). He was very worried and started reminding me what I was doing to my life and being hard on me like you would be with a junkie.

I sort of got trapped yesterday going out for a drink with a co worker. There is a bar right next to my workplace. And it went just as badly as one might imagine.
