To all people suffering anxiety and depression we are strong keep fighting don't give up everything gonna be alright trust your self☮️

Anxiety

I had my college entrance exam and I was at my worst. I cried 3 times a day. There were fights in my home. I got addicted to nasty stuff on the Internet. My dad would run away in search of alcohol and would be found someplace near an alcohol store lying disoriented. I was my dad's therapist. I would listen to him and help him emotionally. This had been going On for good 2 years. Until he tried to mess up my college entrance exams. That was a deal breaker for me. I was like "if I am helping you out so much, day in day out, while you use your alcoholism as an excuse to abuse us, and I went out of my way even when I was down with dengue to help you, even then you used me to justify your alcoholism, then I am sorry" 
It's not nice to have one parent being completely drunk and be missing, and the other go out and hang out with her 'friend'. My sister was of no help either, she escaped home with her boyfriend whenever there was even the slightest bit of tension in the house. I managed to pass the entrance exam, but It wasn't celebrated. It was rather looked down upon, and I was insulted. I felt really underappreciated and lost. I hope someday, I learn the ability to unlearn what my parents taught me and live my life for my own validation

Self Harm

Hi call me for frenddhip

Adulting

Hey 😊 I am Ashley, I am new to the group and I struggle with mental health but sometimes I tend to constantly overthink a lot, worry and everything but I have been seeing a therapist for a while now. i am trying my best to use what works best for me like coping skills, self care but even taking my care of myself is something I struggle with because my energy feels low, I feel slowed down and tired all the time or know having the motivation. i really want to put myself out their which I am really anxious about, making friends is something I have always struggled with because when I get around new people or go to new places I get really nervous, anxious but I am also shy in real life. It’s always hard to start a conversation, I really suck at socializing because I don’t know what to ask, I don’t know what to talk about or even around big crowds alone which I never really talked first because people are usually the ones that talks to me. what is the best idea when moving to a new state when wanting to make friends but it’s the socializing and conversations I have trouble with? I would be interested in joining groups that deals with mental health, people with disabilities, making friends, where I can get exercise and other things which I hope there is some resources for things out there like that! I have moved from Georgia but I am now living in California, I would like to get to know people but it’s what to ask but I do tend to keep myself a lot because I feel like nobody understands, listens, cares and I feel as if I don’t have support but because of my past of getting ghosted or treated wrong it causes me to feel or think certain things. It causes me to feel as if I don’t matter, I am not important, I am not good enough, or anything like that when I am breaking down and feeling anxious about lots of things. i don’t even know where to start but I just needed to vent, say what is bothering me and how I am feeling!

Mental Health

Idk why but I feel so sad and empty today. I woke up feeling this way. Anybody else feeling that way? 

7 guys, it's not worth it...
Well I just wanna say that there was a time in my life when, 
I was all alone and had nothing to be happy for....
Until these 7 guyz came into my life,
And made me happy........
And little did y'll also know, 
That BTS were here
AND YOU WEREN'T!
so,it's definitely worth it! 
Because they are the reason why I survived!!!



Self Love

Roasted masala makhana are another level🤌

Todays Topic : “The Gaslight Effect.”

Gaslighting is a form of emotion#al abus##e that makes you question your beliefs and perception of reality.

Over time, this type of manipula%tion can wear down your self-esteem and self-confidence, leaving you dependent on the person gaslighting you.

The term itself comes from the 1938 play “Gas Light,” later released as the 1940 and 1944 movies “Gaslight.” The story follows a husband who isolates and manipulates his wife with an end goal of institutionalizing her

Someone who’s gaslighting might:

#insist you said or did things you know you didn’t do
#deny or scoff at your recollection of events
#call you “too sensitive” or “crazy” when you express your needs or concerns
#express doubts to others about your feelings, behavior, and state of mind
#twisting or retelling events to shift blame to you
#insist they’re right and refuse to consider facts or your perspective

people often gaslight because being right allows them to validate themselves. When gaslighters feel threatened, they need you to believe and support their version of events in order to maintain their sense of power and control.
