I recently had an encounter where I wanted to say something but couldn’t because it was WAY too mean. I wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else.

whenever i want to tell somebody irl about my horrible mental health, i just can’t. because the last time i told my parents, they didn’t talk to me for so long. i don’t know if i can do life anymore, it’s just so goddamn hard.

    Literally every time I try to talk about mental health out loud, I get choked up and can't actually say anything. I usually just text it or write it on a piece of paper instead

    In a subway, I heard two people discuss how they could cure any disease by praying to God and how all medical science was just a hoax. I couldn't listen to them anymore, I wanted to speak up against them but then I thought I would be wasting my time too if I tried to argue with them. So, I just put on earphones and ignored them. Well, I'm not against religion but calling medical science a hoax is what triggers the hell out of me.

    well, i do a few comedy routines, and sometimes I write jokes about how s****y my mental health is, then delete them, cuz no one wants to hear about how little I like myself (also, hello, fellow aces)

    Happens to me all the time. I have a disgusting side of me. Sigh. Sometimes it feels like there’s a thin string connecting me to my sanity. It’s never their fault, I’m just tired and depressed and I dunno what else.

    That I sometimes feel like dropping out of school. The amount of work we’re given is so much that there’s always one subject whose work I’ve not completed and i get scolded for that so i try to complete that subject’s work but then forget about other subjects and then the cycle repeats itself. I want to tell this to either my parents or my teachers but they won’t understand

    During my 15+ years in customer service on the phones. During my 14 years in the military. Anytime I'm online...it's a good thing that people around me don't have mental telepathy...

    I wanted to tell my sister about my online friend committing suicide so she’s understand why I’ve been a bit moody but I chickened out in fear of her lecturing me for being online talking to people in the first place. She’s a good person but I feel like she never takes my issues seriously and that I need to stop making myself the centre of attention (parents made me the golden child which sucked). So I don’t wanna tell anyone about my own occasional thoughts about suicide…

    I'm so sorry for your loss! Maybe it is a good time to get some help for yourself too, to deal with the loss and everything else going on? It is okay to be 'selfish' and ask for help when you need it. No matter whether you have had more positive attention in the past from your parents than your sister, you are worthy of help and support. I don't think she would blame you. ❤️

    For my senior prom, I had plans to go out with a group of friends, since all of us were single. The day of, I went shopping at the mall for some last minute accessories. While I was there, I ran into a junior in my D&D campaign. We were talking a bit, and halfway through the conversation, I realized I had a crush on this guy and wanted to ask him out to prom that night. I already knew he wasn't planning on going, and it was so last minute that I panicked and ran away. Still haven't told him.
