i be showing signs of mental illness and y'all just be like "you’re so funny"

Im dumb

Thought consumes the mind like a illness consumes the body, time without meaning is hardly fulfilling, running from mistakes and they will catch up, hiding from lies and they will not trust, killing myself every day under the false assumption someone will stay, to fight so hard and not give up… read more

4. The Perimeter — What Could Disrupt the Process?

A plan describes what I expect to happen. I also want to consider what might prevent it from happening. In practice, a process may encounter interruptions that were not included in the original model: limited time, changing circumstances, unavailable resources, illness, or the loss of a… read more

Illness stems from the mind

After sleeping for a few hours, I woke up feeling much better. Since I’d been sleeping the whole time, my hair is a mess, so I’m going to take my time getting up and enjoy my bath.

Mental illness vs immaturity

I don't understand, often I always communicate my feelings or emotions to the people closest to me. But they say I'm immature, when how can I ask why the bad guys always win? Why does the world only side with evil? And other questions. But they called me out because I never accepted destiny from… read more

Does the author’s description of the MMC displaying OCD traits match with the criteria ?

I think what was described in this book was more aligned with fear of contamination associated with illness anxiety. Thoughts?

I’ve reached the point where I don’t care who’s getting married, divorced, cheated on, having kids, or collecting spouses like they’re Pokémon.

I just hope I wake up every day with no illness, have good food to eat, enjoy some peace, and avoid unnecessary human interaction. They say socializing helps you live longer. I’d rather have fewer peaceful years than spend more time making small talk.

I'm about to get sick again, how annoying.😕🍀 (edited)

hello :')

how is your mental illness is affecting your dating experience ? do you tell them or nah? are u afraid of being judged ?

According to Plato, love can be compared to a severe illness or madness because it can overpower reason and disturb a person’s normal judgment. However, Plato also sees love as a powerful force that can lead the soul toward beauty, wisdom, and the Good.

Friends' list cleansing

In a moment of pain, loss, despair, illness, job loss, money problems a lot of people pretending to be your friends leave you. That's pretty normal. They avoid "negativity". Why do they expect support and care at the similar situations later?

i have an incurable illness called shopping addiction.

pray for me. (edited)

Psychology of Faith

Why Humans Need Religion's Meaning Why does faith persist across all cultures and times?

Who I am

I’m so tired of only having illness and trauma to talk about. It’s exhausting trying to find something good in my life to talk about and never finding it. I used to have a personality and interesting things in my life, but these days it’s just the same thing over and over. It feels like i need to… (edited) read more

More shadow dwelling, today. Quote on mirror: "If you don't make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness" - Joyce Sunada.

Enjoying this past couple of days, so, even though the internet will be sorted later today, may just do the "half presence", on here, from now on 🙏🏽🙃 #quotes #quote #selfiee

Dreaming of you

Spoon Bankruptcy: When the Body Calls in the Debt.

Most people in chronic illness spaces have heard of Spoon Theory. It’s a metaphor used to explain the limited energy people with chronic conditions live with every day.

Would you date someone who was going through mental illness or go in the opposite direction

Indulging in some sad girl energy while sick

It started with researching Hadrian + Antinous, then reading Dostoyevsky, watching ‘Wuthering Heights (2026)’ (the book is on my list for later so no spoilers!), and listening to several albums start to finish. Maybe once I’m over whatever illness this is I’ll come up for air and start reengaging… read more

I dream about leaving everything behind and living an off-grid homestead.

For those who don’t know me, I’m David, a 23-year-old guy (he/him), an INFP-A with ADHD. The last time I truly felt alive was when I was 14. Since then, a chronic illness has gradually taken over my life. I developed neurological symptoms that left me with constant brain fog, made studying… (edited) read more

I haven't done it for a long time because of my daughter's illness, but she's in remission so I had to make it... chicken korma, but mild version. 😋👌❤️

Why I Left Nursing⁶

I left nursing because, over time, the work became emotionally and physically overwhelming for me. Nursing is a profession that requires you to give so much of yourself. You don't simply care for someone's illness. You care for the whole person—their body, their emotions, their fears, their… (edited) read more

Chronic illness

I was born with the gene that causes Chronic Kidney Disease. It’s tough and can be lonely at times.

"Grief is love with nowhere to go."- Jamie Anderson

Henlo, dearest Tucker Budzyn! Your mom Linda's heartbreaking news shocked me as I'm still processing your illness. You're not mine and I also don't have a dog, but when I saw you as baby Chuch, you already got me.🥹💛 I'm grateful that your mom and dad shared your bright light to lots of people… (edited) read more

What's your "I'm sick 🤧" food ?

As an asian kid, I grew up eating congee when I was sick. And ever since, I associate this dish with illness. I hate it but it's the only thing that can go down 😮‍💨

I almost died last night...

This is not a 'fun' subject, but I felt I should post it for the sake of other people who also have this kind of conditions, so they won't feel so alone. This is a very rough topic, so... if you are a sensitive person, I strongly suggest you skip reading this one. As some people here know, I have… read more

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY COMPLETED

I have a lot of mixed feelings about Christian Grey. I know that I have only been posting the negative about him in my past post. He does have a lot of mental illness that he needs to work on, he knows that. I just don't think he is actually working on his problems with Dr Flynn. Hopefully in the… read more

If you are struggling with your mental illness please remember that, no matter how it feels your not by yourself. On the days it hurts just to speak, but you keep going, that's the opposite of weak. And I know when you're going through hell, the hardest thing to do is ask for help. It doesn't make… read more
