Welcome! Introduce yourself here 🙂

Hi I enjoy listening to music. Spending time in nature is always good. 
How about you, what do you enjoy doing?

Hey @Mona73 ,

Thank you for sharing a little about yourself. Spending time in nature is always refreshing.

I like spending time with my nieces and nephews. We do a lot of things together. I have 5 nieces and nephews, but 2 live interstate. I guess I want to spend as much time with them while they are young (4, 7 and 9 years old) because I know they change when they are older.

I look forward to hearing more about what you do in your spare time or what sort of support you'd like on the forums so I can perhaps guide you.

Just a note that you can tag members into your posts by typing "@" in front of their username e.g. @tyme . That way, I'll get a notification of your posts so we can stay connected on the forums, as well with other members.

Hey @Nick4 

Welcome to the forums. 

To be honest, I have my own theories about the question you asked, but I'm not sure I can fully answer your question.

Why do you think things are the way they are?

Hey. I just joined today. I don’t have any professional diagnosis because I’m too scared to and for it to go on my records. I just fainted in the bathroom today after a mental breakdown. Yay 🙂

Hi everyone, 

TW: mentions SI and attempt

Content/trigger warning

I attempted. I wish I had succeeded.

18 or so years later and I'm still here.

Content/trigger warning

I wake up everyday hoping that some tragedy would happen to me, and whenever I see the tragic deaths on the news, I wish that was me... But, no..

Anyway, good luck all

Welcome to the forums @Imyuki and @MVD86! 

We're excited to have you both here. It sounds like you've both been going through a lot. The community is here for you, so you don't have to go through it alone.

Testing testing... hi

I am new to this page but not to mental health. I was diagnosed with ADD as a pre-teen and then depression and anxiety at 18. Been in and out of therapy, on and off medication for many many years, some good some bad.

But now I am facing a new challenge. Unemployment due to a still undiagnosed chronic? illness. 10 years of getting slowly worse and finally it's happened. Kinda want to email all my past doctors I told you so.

Anyway

Just looking for people to talk to as that seems more productive than screaming into the void or spontaneously combusting from pure rage and frustration.

Hi @ChronicQuestion and welcome!

It's great to have you here, and I hope it does feel a bit more helpful than screaming into the void (though that does have its place occasionally). Hoping you feel heard here and that it can be a safe space for you to connect.
