Mental Health Check in!

Post by melanch0lic » 02 Apr 2021, 22:11

mental heath is at its lowest, haven't felt this bad in months and months (the last time I experienced this was just prior to joining these forums) and i don't know exactly how to handle it as i don't have anyone appropriate to talk to about things even though i need to, anyone i had faith in has either given up on me or have shown what their true intentions are/were so here i am left once again to try to deal with shit on my own ;__; i haven't got the strength to win this battle on my own but not even my family are interested in listening to me now as in their words 'the amount of medication you take and you -still- show symptoms? well that clearly isn't right, go back to the doctor' which i'm not going to do... today has been truly awful, mental health score is currently 1 out of 10, i feel genuinely broken especially now after the loss of certain people on here as friends - fml is all i can say, and all this cus i try to be enthusiastically pleasant to pretty much everyone ;o; sad, sad times

my mental health is thankfully returning to a state in which i can control the thought processes that usually keep me awake every night of the week, but i am feeling more myself as for the past 3 nights i've had about 6 hours a night, which is a lot for me! i hate not being able to fight the more difficult symptoms of my disorders, and having 4 different diagnoses makes managing them just that extra bit more difficult you know? >_< sometimes i think about how my disorders affect my life and they really do play an integral part in how i am with other people (like being super-anxious or wutever), how i react to certain situations etc. but i'm learning to accept that i have these disorders for life and will always be medicated for them, but it could always be worse :3 the support certain people here offer to me is more-than enough and thus i am eternally grateful for the fact that none of you really have given up on me, even though i most certainly am difficult to handle sometimes, your commitment to me as a friend and a confidant is noticed, it really is~ X3

i wonder if i should post about whats been on my mind today

why shouldn't you? speaking about what's been on your mind is exactly what we're here for & what this thread is all about - if what you want to talk about is private, feel free to drop me a PM or whatever and i'll try to offer advice or i'll just listen, it's completely up to you :3 <3

Honestly gender is hard as hell to nail down

I'm pretty sure I want to be transfemme/female. I still sometimse have a flipflop in my head but at the end of the day I would rather be a woman.

Also I'm feeling moody tonight :<

I got some food, thanks for the advice :>

(I know many transwomen go through period-like cycles and I'm beginning to think I'm one of them)
