News of Living With Mental Illness Forum

I always love spring. There's something about it that lifts up my mood, and maybe somehow, makes me less depressed. I used to go outdoors or if I can't, I'd be in the year writing or listening to music. I don't feel quite a bit normal this time. How about you? Do you feel the spring spirit? What activities are you doing?

Has anyone with unable to work due to mental health issues ever eventually recovered and gone on to have a successful life and career?

Is this even possible?

I am looking for examples of regular people, rather than celebrities, as being a millionaire superstar is unrealistic and unobtainable for a lot of people so I’m looking for more realistic examples,

Hello, I am not sure of this is this is the right forum or right part of the forums to be in.

I am wanting to exercise or increase all my mbti ...

I haven’t felt this way before. Tw for mentions of physical illness and, well, death and unreality

I have DID and at first I thought that’s what it was, the symptoms. It’s just, everyone around me keeps appearing as “fake” or “real” or “like me (in the sense of also being dead)”. It’s likely dissociation but it keeps coming back and bothering us. Memories worse than usual, honestly everything’s just been wrong and off for ...

I need help with the upstairs tenant, a large, malicious and vindictive homosexual, and his boy friend (whom I'd probably get along with under different circumstances).

My background:
I'm an older male with PTSD from childhood trauma. I'm a recovered alcoholic with almost ten years of sobriety (meaning I haven't had even a sip of alcohol in almost ten years). I've been without a single family member for over ten years but, considering the family ...

Hello,
I researched on the internet about MBTi personality test and got different opinions. Some people say that it is not reliable, but some people say otherwise. If you are a psychologist, can you give the right answer here?

Hi,

Can someone please explain why someone would have a "compulsive need" to always do that's that would make everyone hate them?

Like it's as if "everyone hates him" is the default "state/condition", and if it's not so, then they would do things to make everyone hate them to return to that state/condition

And if anyone does NOT hate them, that it just feels awkward/out-of-place... And so does things to make everyone hate them so ...

I'm fairly certain I have a mental illness but when I look up the things that go on in my head I can't find anything that applies to me. Its hard for me to put into words how I feel but I'll try my best. Most of the time I feel empty, but when I start to think about who I am I have many contradicting thoughts that don't stop for hours. Sometimes it's hard ...

On the night of December 21, 2020, I was woken up from my sleep by a demonic sounding voice telling me to masturbate to a woman that I do not like. I resisted the urge, my body was shaking. Then after a few moments, the voice told me to masturbate or else I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep for the rest of the night. After what felt like 2 hours of resisting ...

So I am reading this article
