What's name for condition where people refuse (either unable or unwilling) to accept the truth/facts, when it is something they don't like or want to be true. And instead just ignore it or lookaway (as if it will somehow change the truth/FACT, when it won't.)

For example: hypothetically speaking, let's say that we find out for a FACT (that we can prove using science) that if you live a happy life, you go to Hell. ...

iive been hearing voices for years weve tried all kind of medication but nothing seems to help. they tell me to self harm and if i dont they will hurt my loved ones i know there only voices and cant do anything but i dont want to risk it. i just need a break from them i want control of my life.
any advice is welcome

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,

Thanks

Hello, I am not sure of this is this is the right forum or right part of the forums to be in. I had these questions for my therapist but she doesn't specialize in what I was asking for and couldn't point me to the right specialists So i came here for that or at least find out what to do and where to go. 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?
Thanks.

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 ...
