Hello, I’m a 19F in Australia NSW. Im wondering if anyone can point me in the direction to which resources can help me get rental assistance & help finding a place. Or how to get it? I’ve dealt with mental illness for nearly 10 years and I’m finally starting to get better (medications, counselling, studying) but I feel so trapped in my parents house and along with other family issues , I really don’t think I can continue living here and get better mentally. submitted by /u/B_milz [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I've been going through some stuff again lately, such as feeling low again, losing confidence, overall having stress and being nervous about every tiny thing and I just don't know how to deal w it anymore. Finals are coming up so I'd like some tips for relaxation because I'd like to actually rest when I'm resting instead of resting but still having a head that's constantly busy. At the moment I've been feeling a bit worse again, but most of it I know how to deal with (such as past traumas etc which I've learned how to deal with at therapy). But now that finals are coming I can't help but as t ..read more

TW: depression, su***** Approximately 2 years ago, I (then 17F) had a brief romantic relationship with a girl. She was a friend of my friend's and I told her I thought she was cute, so she arranged a coffee meet-up when we could talk. For context, since early in life I knew I had some attraction to women, but it was mainly physical, so when I realised I actually "felt" a way about another girl, it made me excited and I thought I could finally call myself a "proper" bisexual (which is kind of stupid but that was my thought process). We went on a couple of dates and at some point she asked me t ..read more

I’ve had really bad anxiety and depression the past few years (I’m a senior in high school). I struggled with OCD, religious anxiety, and depression to be more specific. I have days where I’ll dissociate throughout the day, they happen every 2-3 weeks. I was at Disney over the weekend for my senior trip, I came home early Sunday morning and “indulged in a little THC” that night. It’s now Tuesday. From what I gathered from texts, I slept all day yesterday, and was vomiting/had really bad migraines. My parents had to have known because I’m not in school today and looked at our message history ..read more

I think I’m gonna try anti-depressants for the first time. Im 34. I know you all are not doctors, but I’m curious from experience if you’ve had this and how did it work out for you? I don’t wanna do this long-term. If this helps I have adhd and have heard this can also help with that submitted by /u/Freya8675 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Preface: Just diagnosed with OCD two months ago, currently taking 40mg of Prozac daily. I've been in a relationship for about a year, and it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing. Our attachment styles clash—he's avoidant, I'm anxious, a challenging combination. Whenever things started looking up, he'd pull away, creating a frustrating one step forward, three steps back dynamic. These episodes led to intense emotions—upset, tears, panic, overthinking, intrusive thoughts, you name it. It felt like a monthly rollercoaster (exhausting, right?). Fast forward to this week, and we've ended things for ..read more

Like 8 months ago i was bad mentally and i drank a lot. There were a lot of unsolvable problems in my life and naturally i needed support. So i talked with her a lot. Since my mentality was bad i was not that fun to talk to but it sometimes happens to everyone. Then one of my friends unalived himself and at that point i thought nothing will get better. İ talked to her again she didn't give a flying fuck. So i asked her about that and she said to me i don't want to hear any problems anymore from anyone and i was like okay but thats a dick move. And she literally stopped talking to me for 5 mon ..read more

Is it common for therapists to not conduct emergency sessions? So I was looking for a therapist and i found one through referral. When I asked her if she was willing to conduct emergency sessions or if can i call her when I i think about harm, she just told me to call emergency helpline numbers in case of emergency situation with self. Idk but is it a norm for therapists to not take session outside usual session or is it unprofessional to call someone at the middle of the night in case of emergency? submitted by /u/Octafolia [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
