I have been depressed every October since 2019 because of PTSD, and this’ll probably last until April next year (where this year I thought I was fully recovered) but this year I’m with a therapist, so things are different

Doing well at the moment, counselling and running have really improved my ability not to catastrophise everything and actually look at my life in a more positive way

Feeling like a fraud as hard for people to understand why I feel like I do and only way to prove it is to give into demons but that defeats the point

Always here if anyone needs a chat. It's mad how much speaking to a stranger who will listen genuinely helps, even if just a little ! (Been there myself enough times)

Didn't need to do a MH check till a few year ago.

Mindfulness, nature, camping, got rid of toxic people just for start. Platonic touch is amazing, found this by accident after learning Reiki and Reflexology.

Sending love you lovely folks that need it x

Having a rough time, trying to focus on work but struggling a lot.

Hoping it passes, but feels very pointless.

Keep coming on here to try and get out of my shell, maybe this time it'll work.

Yoga, running, mindfulness, aromatherapy, getting out any meeting people works for me. Nature, walks, camping, sea and cuddles for the win.

I'm not OK. I broke down during my appraisal at work...First time I admitted I was struggling.

My boss was shocked as I hold things together well at work, I'm hyper focused and diligent. But looking back that level of perfection is anxiety.

But no, I'm not OK...I don't want Dr's, I don't want medication, I'm stubborn and I deal with my demons alone. I know what I need to do but motivation to do it is another thing

Finding who you are is important and amazing.

I did this almost three years ago and I told me who I am: https://www.truity.com/test/type-finder-personality-test-new

ENFJ was my result, and it helped me on my journey to be who I am now, I was lovely before, now I am a bit more lovely.

It is good to struggle, and to find people to help and ways of being you.

A friend helped me find this test, and I am so grateful. After this I found lots of other resources and people to help me find who I am.

Always open to be messaged about MH.
