Mental Health Check In thread

Sort by newest Sort by date
I would never describe myself as mentally stable lol, I think that anyone who douse is either confused, delusional or lying. We all have instabilities. That said I am in one of the better high patches of life at the moment and that is good. But it is great there is somewhere we can support each other through the low ones (:
 
I am about as stable as a dryer running with a bunch of aggravated bobcats inside. Keep moving or things go bananas. There are times when I can use external validation, affirmation, or comfort but it comes on so quickly I would not be able to wait for a forum response ;)
Perhaps this is something to encourage in the anonymous section?
 
It is true that a forume dousent always give the fastest response, But we are here for you anytime. Be it here, or in the chat room 🫂
 
Looking back my message sounded a lot more negative than I had intended. I was merely trying to make a suggestion for people to find support more easily ;)

Not that I would ever deny the importance of support and mental health. It is neither a weakness to crave help, and it is an utter privilege to give it.
 
I am really struggling with some big health things. I am just nervous and scared and don't want to wait. Waiting and not knowing the hardest.

I understand how hard it must be to not know what is going on. I would be nervous too. I am sending you lots of Eeyore hugs!

June/July are always the worst months for me, I have savage hay fever making me feel ill, sometimes I just want to curl up and disappear, sleep to escape the unpleasantness, I feel trapped indoors every year, that and the crazy heat recently with no way to vent it.

I have some strong medication that helps, stopping symptoms unless im outside a good while, but even so, sometimes i just get hit hard regardless. The tablets leave me drowsy and short on energy, I just feel muted waiting for autumn to come. It's a struggle to get anything done. 🤧

I am so sorry. That sounds really tough. Are you able to get a window air conditioner with a filter of some sort to at least make the time inside a bit easier?
 
I have a portable AC unit in the bedroom, it requires an open window (with fabric cover) to vent through. I mostly run it in the evening before bed so I can sleep.

I get a feedback loop even after escaping pollen. My nose running causes my nose to be irritated, which causes it to run more. My nose is quite sensitive/fragile inside only escape is to "stop" the running by leaning my head back, and that generally leads to having a nap, which can ruin my sleep pattern, if symptoms haven't already! Causes dehydration, eye/tooth pain, intense irritation and madness otherwise. So I feel forced to on a bad day.

Makes you want to lash out at reality sometimes. I had a really tough last couple days, today's started okay though. 🫂
 
I am, here. Up and down as I am still recovering from a serious health issue. Mentally I want to do things, but my body cannot do them. Very frustrating. Also, being tired easily sucks. But, I am still alive and much better than I was a few months ago, so I am grateful it didnt end badly
 
I have no idea how to find people to date within the kink community. Going to events is difficult because they are typically far away (not so far as to be impossible but far enough to be a serious investment of time & energy) and even when I do there seems to be extremely few unattached individuals, and even fewer still those who I find myself interested in. I don't think it is because my standards are too high or anything like that but it seems like every day it becomes less and less likely I'll find someone to be with. It goes without saying that this bothers me but worse I feel like I'm becoming numb to the idea that there just isn't someone out there for me.
