I guess I not longer have to worry about not ever being good enough, just accept it as fact. Not even worth writing it. Rock bottom seems to be my home.

I am needing to apologise to everyone in advance...
to all of the people who have worked so hard in presenting the new look and changes..
I feel totally lost and confused....even sad...I did not think that I was this unwell...
So before anyone jumps down my throat...I am not blaming others...I am just very sad and disillusioned with myself...not wanting to go back down that track...
especially when I am so busy attempting to support others...then end up feeling this way..
so please everything that I have said to others I believe in for them.....
I clearly need to slink back to one thread and stay there..

Hi @Sophia1,
Although I'm sorry to read that you aren't feeling very well, I am glad that you have recognized that this might be triggering and are doing what would be best for you.
Take care of yourself.

My attending a MH function (or group) can be problematic.
I’ve experience behavioural issues (from people there) & major conversational difficulties, ever since I first went.
There is inappropriate behaviour) from some regular attendees.
Today, a woman who has never spoken to me (who I don’t know) stroked my head & hair without warning, & without asking.
People have always asked first (in the past), before doing that – even then I am not comfortable with it (from someone who I am not intimate with).
She then abruptly cut me out of the conversation that I was already having (before she got there). I had to walk away, & initiate conversation with someone else.
It was that same (similar) behaviour, from other people – that stopped me going to a different MH social group. I had been going to it for over 12 months, before repeated rude behaviour by someone put me off going.
At work I have very "challenging behaviours" to deal with (they are actually called that). When I go to a group or social function for support or a social outlet - I cannot deal with rude behaviours there too.

I want to go off my meds so bad and feel like my old self again. I hate my meds so much but know if I do I will lose everything .... what my meds do to my mind and my body I hate. I am feeling like a caged tiger the meds are the bars keeping me trapped.
A friend once said to me to 'toughen up girl, toughen up' well sometimes I am sick of toughening up and just want to be wild and care free and let the cards fall where they my even if they get me into trouble.

Sometimes our minds can get stuck in circles trying to sort out an issue. This can keep you up at night, or make it hard to focus on other things. I find that putting things away, and not thinking about it temporarily can be helpful.
This is the place to get it out, and then give yourself permission to let it go.
Maybe you will need to get back to it some other time, but this is space where you can put it in a place so that you can leave it for some time and (try) not to worry about it in the mean time.
It's a thread where people don't need to reply, it purely just to get it out your worry and concerns.
If you want to show your support for someone, hit the 'like' button. In this thread, 'like' doesn't mean that you 'like' someone's issue, but you support them in letting it out.
So write down your concerns, put it in a vault, shut the door, and allow yourself to walk away from it.
Pls note: If you are reading other people's posts, please respect that they don't want a response. Show your support by 'Liking' their post.
I need to tonic of wildness to keep me sane
