How do you explain your poor mental health to someone else? Maybe even someone who doesn't believe in mental health issues? I'm trying to drag myself out now and again despite social anxiety and depression but it always comes up why I don't want to do the things that 'normal' people do ...I really don't know how to handle and it leaves me feeling so terrible

Is someone who doesn't believe in mental health issues even worth having in your life? I'd be going the opposite direction personally. Maybe just chalk it up to being introverted, and that it's nothing personal. You just like your alone time. That's probably going to be your best bet to get them to understand. I feel like getting someone to start believing in mental health issues is going to be too much work. I mean, it's not impossible but dang. Good luck

I haven't been able to do that either. You're doing great just by getting out there, it's hard.

Just know if you're struggling, you have your reasons, they make sense, and they matter. Not everyone will get that or accept that, some people will. But ultimately, nobody does things without compelling reasons. If you decide to share what's going on honestly, make sure it's not on deaf ears & be real about it. If they care, you shouldn't have to worry. Good luck working things out (edited)

Depression is

Spending time in hospital, coming out and no one contacting you to check if you're OK. You check messages no ones messaged you. You check dating apps no ones matched you. Having nowhere to vent because these struggles seem trivial. Feeling tired of loneliness, tired of being tired. And I am so... read more

Is Using your Disability an excuse? Or is it by choice? When you have the hidden disability like autism.

I want to ask if it’s ok for me to say things how I feel at times? Because when you get that feeling with things at home like trying to entitle your opinion. Also, when my folks like saying to me like my PS5 for example, like when will you be using it? I said that when I have my own place. That... read more

Tread carefully

Found a cool backlash the other week and left some of my art for the creative community there. I got a message from one of the team there and they seem like a cool group of people. It's in Exmouth (uk) #mentalhealth #wellbeing #community

May all the negative energy bringing you down come to an end. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May hope replace fear. May the light of your spirit shine so bright that nothing can dim your glow.

Men's mental health

Not wanting to sound sexist or anything, as we are all equal as one, but does anyone genuinely care about men's mental health?
