Basically just talk about mental health related stuff. For example, you can vent about anxiety or you can ask questions to people who have mental health problems.

Having depression and anxiety is not my fault. Being an addict is not my fault. But they don't absolve me of responsibility for my behavior. I'm still responsible for how I treat people and (since I have access) for seeking out and doing treatment and actively working on my behavior. "I'm sorry for bailing out all the time, but I have anxiety" is inexcusable. "I'm struggling with an anxiety attack; I can't go out until it calms down" is reasonable.
I have a friend like this. Even from the side, I can tell it is hard.
I swear I'm trying. I swear I'm not lazy. I swear that it's not my fault. I don't want to die. But I don't want to live either I'm just so tired.
I'm glad you're trying, I know you're not lazy, and it couldn't be your fault at all. It's okay that you feel that way, it really really sucks and it hurts a ton but it isn't forever. You can get through this
Help I'm about to kill myself idk what to do anymore
Hang in there may, its going to get better just hang on las <3
I’m trying to get my eating disorder under control but it’s pretty difficult. But lately because I’ve been eating more I’m not miserable and cranky.
I literally haven't eaten anything for 3 days, I've lost like 15 pounds. I'm slightly hungry but whenever I try to eat I just can't manage to swallow anything without feeling like im just going to gain more weight. I'm not overweight, so idk why this is happening. My mum wants to send me to a hospital but I have a paid profile pic commission that I haven't finished and I really don't want to be called a scammer or smthn. Help help help help helpppp
Lex you really need to go to the hospital. Please. Your health needs to come first. I don't want you to die. If you can, try eating small things like crackers or toast or cereal, those are easier to stomach, especially after not eating for a long period of time. And try to stay hydrated. I really want you to be safe and alright. So please go to the hospital. I care about you.
I have ADHD depression PTSD anxiety, and beging suicidal thoughts.
Hey, I've been there (I'm still there every now and then). I know it's tough. You can do this. Know that there are people who care and love you. If you want, I can give you my email or number so you can have someone to contact if thigs get really hard.
Bye guys I love y'all
No, I'm not going to kms. But I will be gone for either 1, 2, or 3 months. My family is trying to send me to an all "girls" (cough, cough) boarding school thingy for middle school kids with mental illnesses and/or eating disorders. No personal electronic devices allowed. Only one phone call (to home) per week. It's in a different state as well, maybe around 6-7 hours away from where I live. If I end up going there I will have no access to BP. I also can't email either, so those pandas that I have emailed in the past... you may not hear from me for quite a while. I love you guys. Hopefully this isn't "bye" for more than a month. Hopefully. Even if I do end up going, which I most likely am, I will probably still be on BP for a couple more days & on the extremely long drive there. Twilight, May, imp, Amy, and all my other BP besties and acquaintances, don't kys while I'm gone please. Stay safe guys. Bye. ❤️
Question. Do you have to have been through trauma or extreme stress to have Dissociative Identity Disorder?
I think that most people who have it have gone through trauma. The traits of it are having two personalities, gaps in memory, and the condition causes problems in daily life. Here’s the website I got it from if you want to look in to it more: https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/dissociative-disorders/what-are-dissociative-disorders#:~:text=Symptoms%20of%20dissociative%20identity%20disorder,or%20reported%20by%20the%20individual. Keep in mind that it requires a diagnosis from a doctor
Help my anxiety is worse than it ever was before I’ve had periods of prolonged depression but never anxiety I feel like I’m being crushed and my heartbeat has been really high for the past couple of days please I don’t know what to do anymore please
Is there someone you know IRL who you can safely talk to about it?
Idk this could be mental or physical health, but I just don’t have the energy to talk to my friends anymore. I don’t have depression or anything like that, I feel fine and relatively happy, and my friends are great and awesome, but talking to them has just been getting more and more draining and I just don’t want to anymore. I feel like an awful person and a bad friend because I know I’m being kind of distant but I just find myself wanting to be alone all the time. I don’t feel that way with my mom or brother or anything, or even my friends outside of school. It’s just the friends in school. Like I just want to be alone in school, talking to them wears me out and I don’t really want to meet up with them outside of school. Again, my friends are awesome and I don’t think they are the problem. Ugh idk sorry for the long rant.
You're not being a bad friend to them. Just make sure that they know why you aren't talking and then take whatever breaks you need to. You should never have to sacrifice your well being for ANYONE else, even if they're your best friend.
GUYS IS TWILIGHT ALIVE

has gotten a bit better but still pretty eh
Volunteering myself for questions
This is a question related to your conversation with May, have you tried calculating where you are on the body mass index? It could help you figure out how much you need to eat, starving yourself would still not a be good way to lose weight even if you are overweight.
I think I have depression and anxiety and R.A.D. and dissociative disorder but I’ll never get them diagnosed because I hate myself too much to ask for help. Like I’m genuinely scared of telling people I want to off myself. I always avoid topics about mental health because I’m scared that I might accidentally spill.
what does R.A.D stand for? I don’t know and if I google it it doesn’t give me a result that sounds correct
I realise that I might have a little bit of trauma or something like that. I only figured it out today. I’m not severely traumatised or anything but I discovered that there’s a trigger which always makes me cry and panic a lot whenever it happens
Does anyone have advice on how to feel less anxious? Don’t say anything like medications or therapy as neither of those are available for me. I’m only doing counselling for academic related stuff
That as much as we're talking and opening up about it, it doesn't mean there's a lot of help when you reach out. It's a lot of " sounds like you're having a hard time " , " what I'm hearing is that you're really struggling ". I know validation is important but I know I'm struggling , that's why I'm here.
I don’t choose to have depression. I don’t choose to have my friends abandon me. I don’t CHOOSE to have anxiety. I don’t CHOOSE to be good at English class. It’s just who I am. It’s not MY fault that my parents don’t understand me. It’s not MY FAULT I passed an exam I shouldn’t have. It’s not my fault my ‘friends’ torment me for being a weirdo. It’s not my fault I did it. But they say everything is MY FAULT.
I’m just sick of living. I don’t want to anymore. It’s pointless. I don’t want to do anything. And I think my cat, Rosie is about to die. (Some sort of 𝕗𝕦𝕔𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 cancer) If she dies then im going to end things. also please excuse my language im just really upset right now.
Yesterday we were doing a math “test” in school to see if we learnt what we’re supposed to have learnt last year and I hated it. I got really stressed and I started to think bad things about myself. Examples: even the people who are way slower than you at math are on page 8 (of 12 and I was on 7 and stuck there) (not true; they were on page 5 I heard them say but yk) and I got stuck and I felt stupid because I got stuck in something easy but I just couldn’t concentrate. My hands
You're certainly not dumb. I was doing a math test once. The kids who usually did math slower than me were on page 30. I was on page 9. Like actually. I bet you're a lot smarter than you give yourself credit for.
my psychiatrist gave me meds for adhd because i told him i have high anxiety some days and very low depression other days so he said my adhd is because of like an imbalance of dopamine so he gave me dopamine antidepressants but theyre increasing my anxiety like a s**t ton which makes my autistic brain like everywhere mentally and nowhere physically and i ran out yesterday so i didnt take them today so im depressed and the hospital i had been in before-hand where i got recommended for meds said i should be on mood stablizers but he didnt even take those into thought after my dad told him that so like...idk what to do at this point
