NO WHERE TO GO
I have been having such severe depression. Where everything seems black and I cant see a way out because the fog is blinding my path. My dad died in 1996 the closest and happiest thing in my heart from a messed up family of abused and abusers. A white collar family who were worried about people thought. Making themselves…

Disability with mental health TW abuse
I fight to tell the tale, I suffer badly due to chronic pain which makes me poorly and unwell the most. I also suffer with BPD and other mental health issues due to abuse.

Supporting a friend with Borderline Personality Disorder
I am currently supporting a friend who has BPD.

I have persevered as I value our friendship and never like to…

This probably makes no sense but I needed to get it out ?
I have multiple mental and physical health conditions and was under various medical teams for about 5/6 things... unfortunately after a move of home back in 2015 I kind of shut down and ostriches.. it's now been around 5+ years since contact was lost with them all but none of my issues are even remotely controlled..…

Has Covid affected your memory?
I suffer from short term memory loss anyway since my nervous breakdown, but since covid started, and I don't really have anyone to talk too, my memory has become really bad. I struggle with words and spellings too. It hasn't helped that an elderly neighbour, told me that just because I lived a sad unworthy life, she wasn't…

Brain Injury... could the RTA I had in 1979 cause me to get dementia later in life?
Before I ask for advice.. I am not being a dramatist. I just heard in the news that some footballers from the 70s are experiencing Dementia. This has been caused by heading the ball numerous times in training... I will keep my reasons brief because this is the darkest time of my life...In 1979 I had a RTA. Suffered severe…

Another episode?
I don't know if you look after or are close to someone who has mental issues, or has been diagnosed with a problem and requires monitoring. but over the last few days I could see things were not right. Sunday morning I had a call and had to go over as they were crying where everything seemed to be to much to handle. In…

Can Anyone See The Logic In This?
For years I have had a nervous disposition.

I don't think I do!Currently at 21.20 I am in bed on Saturday night. I don't know why,…

Lost
I haven’t felt this bad in years. I don’t want to die and I’m not suicidal but I just don’t know what the point is anymore. Everything I thought I knew is a lie. It seems I just attract people to take advantage of me or hurt me. I have never felt so lost and alone in the world and I don’t know what to do anymore

Does it ever feel like you aren't wanted?
Honestly, I know this may sound daft, but sometimes I feel like I'm not wanted. I often wonder, if I wasn't here( not dead, just runaway or something) whether I would be missed, or if everyone would let out a cheer. I feel horrible about myself and nothing seems to help. What should I do?
