Mental health thread

[Tonberry]

I just had one of those bizarre onsets of late-night anxiety where I get all cold and jittery. It’s no biggie really, but it’s not a fun feeling.

I’m starting to really miss my siblings. My little sister and brother moved away from our hometown to different places to study. I’m super happy and proud of them of course, it’s just that I’m not as extrovert as them so I have trouble traveling so I usually have to wait for them to come home on holidays to see them, and since winter is so dark here I tend to feel a bit more isolated which sucks.
My other younger brother still lives nearby though, but he’s been sick so I haven’t been able to hang out with him.

Sorry if this seems trivial, but we’re a very close-knit family and I guess I just miss them a lot right now.

I'm... not doing well after today. Some problems I thought I had put behind me have reared their ugly head, and now I'm facing an uncertain future once again. I don't want to air too much of my personal drama here, but I felt I owed some explanation if I disappear from here. I've likely burned the last bridge I had left, and I'm feeling incredibly lost right now.

Alright, I hope life will treat you well. I know all too well what this feels like, there’s always an unexpected pleasant surprise at the end. Patience is a virtue, but I hope you work out your situation and are able to navigate it. You can talk to us if need be, and if you decide to take a break from the forums that’s fine too, the forums will always be here waiting for you.

Ah no worries I'm always around to talk games to distract.

I think hypnosis is the least harmful alternative to seeking help I have in mind

Thank you all for the support you've shown me. I'm not ashamed to say I cried my heart out reading it.

No shame in that. Crying is proven much healthier than holding it. It’s mostly a societal stereotype to think otherwise.

As Yousef said, theres no shame in crying.

If anyone’s been wondering, it’s me who’s moderating this thread. I monitor all the conversations and keep an eye on everything said, I don’t participate since I’d like to let people air their thoughts without interfering with the conversations. Remember to let your heart out and be kind to each other.

You can always cry in secret if you want, dear @Xdqwerty.
Crying is better than not crying, if you ask me.

Being forced into Keeping your emotions bottled up would do more harm than good.
It's okay if you wanna cry.

 

[ObscureJigglypuff]

I know what you're going through in regards to missing your family. I moved far away from my family, and family is mostly all I've ever had to rely on. I hope you'll get to spend some quality time with them in not too long. Sending digital hugs!

I struggle with old trauma that makes crying weird for me. I've found decent help in expressing that in other ways though, like art, it could be something that might help a bit for you, too? Sending love and compassion your way.

Lately, I've had a vague feeling that I'm a bad person for leading a comfortable middle class existence when there are people out there who don't even have a roof over their heads.

"The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant.
It is what you do with the gift of life that defines who you are."
What I'm saying is:
It doesn't matter if you're a middle class citizen, a poor homeless person, or whatever.
If you want to help them, then do it.
