Do you ever feel guilty when you try to talk about your problems, your feelings, and thoughts? If you actually open up little to friends or family and they say that not to bad, or they just look at you like they are saying it could be worse. That make you want to try to validate your mental illiness to them. As if you have to prove it, how much your anxiety and depression can alter your mindset, physically drain you, and leave you emotionally empty or in tears at night.
That it makes you feel guilty for feeling and thinking the things you do, like your right my life isn't as bad as others. There are people worse off then me and I shouldn't complain about my life. Or your friends only know part of your life not the full at home or family situations, so they think your being a crybaby.
Does it feel like they are telling you to look outside and see all the beautiful colors, but when you in episode all you see is distorted grey figures like you are looking through those frosted window privacy glass? Do you ever feel so low that you welcome sleep but dread having to wake up. That you wish you could just leave everything, float away. Do you ever feel like your screaming for help for someone to notice but, your screaming underwater and no one can see or hear you? Do feel guilty now when you try to talk about mental illiness that you keep your mouth shut. Because if they can't see what's wrong with you physically or any sign on the outside then nothing wrong on the inside.

Yes, I can relate. It's not a good feeling. These people have no idea or clue. I used to try to explain to get validation, but I don't do it as much anymore unless I feel they would understand.
I've felt a little like that recently. I ended up deciding to try and hide my feelings from my partner because I could see how guilty he felt when I would talk about feeling sad or anxious. That ended up pushing us farther apart though.
I learned to not hide my feelings and try to accept them and move forward with them so that my partner doesn't have to worry about me as much.
I'm sorry it ended up pushing you two father apart when you trying to make it easier on him. But I'm glad you learning to not hide them and try accept them. Is it helping and you partner not worrying about you as much now?
Tried to spend some time in my yard, and walked my dog. I would like to get more exercise but have lumbar spine issues. Wanted to nap badly, am exhausted and haven’t been sleeping well, but kept awake hoping to sleep early. Now here I am just lying awake.
I hate when you cant get to sleep and are trying but you are laying awake. I'm sorry you have lumbar spine issues.
I wouldn’t mind, suddenly being gone. That’s just me being honest.
Being in control though, I don’t wish that. From experience, people can come off as “attacking you” likely because they have shame in themselves.
There’s this evil nature of transferring shame and guilt onto others that I really wish and Hope would stop.
The answer is simple really, and that’s being there. Just how we all are for eachother now and here.
For me, it was the fact of being super into myself and very narcissistic, that I’m able to realize and say the things I say. Self awareness. It’s not what you do to others that comes back around. It’s what others do to you that you put back around sometimes, and it was without noticing for me.
If that was confusing, I acted, off others treatment towards me and sought “revenge”. So much that I twisted my own mind thinking, they were just doing it to be mean. But it was my wrongful view and thinking that kept biting me in the ass.
I’m ranting too. And probably am not on the same page and misunderstood hahaha so thank you for this space on your post
Stand up and say hey! How was your day and smile. My biggest lesson in life, I’m only 27 so take it for what it is, I’ve come to see things like, people test your character and as mean or cruel as it may sound, it’s your choice to prove them wrong or right.
My take is prove them wrong when it seems they are guilt tripping you. No one else’s opinion of you other than your own is valid honestly. How can another human mind be and speak for your own mind. Its physically, spiritually, mentally impossible. You deserve and owe it to yourself to be the happiest person ever. You should be. I would love you to be. ❤️🥰
I like hearing what others have to say and let them speak and voice their opinions. Thank you and I can see where you are coming. And hey I take any advice from people willing to give them. I'm only 24 so I'll take any advice from people who older and younger than me
Those saying they say can hurt way worse than they know they think they are being helpful by trying to state what they think in positive way. And yeah I know what you mean I haven't talked to any of my friends or family about my issues any more
They are the ones who words and looks hurt us the most. That they think they know you so well but don't understand you or that side of you. And it also hurts because you thought you were so close to then that they would be able to understand. So it like fear finding out it's true they don't and the pain of them not knowing that well to try to understand or just listen.
