Hi! I’m new to the group and felt kind giving up tonight, I’m so glad I found this group. I feel so lonely and misunderstood

Hi Freespirit. I’m kinda new too..... here by many of the same reasons. It makes me happy to be able to be here for you. You’re heard and I hope that helps. I know the hurt and you’re not alone!

I think people around forget that I’m struggling. They all know that I have been dealing with this for a long time but I think I give the impression that I’m fine so they forget I guess.

We all feel like this at times... it’s hard at times and then can be good at other times. It’s like a roller coaster at times when anxiety is triggered by whatever but when things are going smooth is what you hold onto and cherish. I use memory of good days to bolster myself when days are a bit crappier or not going how we want....

Our brave faces become masks or like camouflage to the outside world because when things are harder to manage/cope with we tend to hide a bit... it’s hard to reach out during such a time so congrats on doing just that....

Sometimes just writing out what is nagging at you seems to make it seem less important and not as overblown as we initially thought... this helps us combat the crappy feelings that come from whatever...

Hope you remember to treat yourself nice during times like this...control what you can and try to not stress over what you can’t control...☺️

Mental illness is real. It's good to talk about it with people who understand. This is a safe space. Welcome.
