Nice to hear from you all

[Impermanence]

I am not a native English speaker so excuse me for my bad English. Just read one of the member’s comments that empathy is hard to come buy these days. Totally agree. however, that is the dilemma. I have tried to talk to friends and thought we can really relate to each other, and almost at the end of the days if people know your secret they are more likely to avoid you as even they want inspiration instead of a burden.. so other than professional people, of holy Jesue Christ, it is really hard for us to expect empathy from others, and we also need to ask ourselves how much empathy we have extended to people we thought that are very different from us. Except that some us did feel really bad inside and some other people is a lot more insensitive or resilient ,depending on you like them or not. I guess that is why we join this group so that we can get nonjudgemental support from people who have similar issues. I just joined the group today and am so amazed by all the problems I see other people have. I feel odd that it is almost that seeing others' suffering making me feel better about myself, but from other angle I suppose this is a kind of empathy I find from all of you even though I do not get to meet you .. suddenly, I feel like I am not completely alone.

Welcome Impermanence

This is a nonjudgmental forum where people care about each other. Finding others

who have gone through the struggle of mental health makes it more assured that you

will be understood and supported. It's difficult for family and friends to take in all

we are saying because it's something that cannot be seen.

Rather than support you, others can make you feel ashamed and even more alienated.

I'm glad you are here with us. Feel free to reach out anytime. We are only a message away xx
