I consider myself a recovered anorexic/bulimiac. I've never been properly diagnosed but I have suffered all symptoms of those EDs that now have diminished completely or significantly. Even so, I feel this uncontrollable urge to hide away food for later. When I see a snack I know I'd like to have later, I take it to my room and put it in my desk for later because I'm afraid it won't be there anymore by the time I want to actually eat it. I only do this with small snacks, like mini chocolates or cookies and I never take a whole box, just one or two so I know they won't be all gone. I live with ..read more

I always feel like this one girl gives me some signs that she maybe likes me, and I always ignore them because I just don’t believe it. I am very convinced that she doesn’t give me any signs and it’s all just delusion and I just made it up in my head and I am preciving her normal behavior as giving signs to me. One part of the brain is trying understand how she feels and trying to imagine how it hurts her when I ignore her, and this feeling makes me feel terrible, but other part of my brain is trying to convince me that she doesn’t care about me and she doesn’t care that I ignore her and all ..read more

This is for those of you who have been inpatient. I was recently inpatient and this bitch was staring at me like she wanted to murder me. (That was actually one of my delusions, that I was going to be killed). I think she was just a butch lesbian honestly who wanted me so she would look into my eyes like a psychopath. I could be wrong, but when I gave her a note with my number she seemed very flattered and was secretly reading the note (I wasn't that delusional not to see that) while she told me that she can't call me (because obviously, there are probably stalking issues with mental health ..read more

I get no sleep at night and usually end up forcing myself to sleep at 5 or 6 am. This is because every night I feel tormented with general anxiety. And just awful feelings that are rly hard for me to describe… the best way I can describe it is just a sinking feeling of dread and doom. Sometimes I have full blown anxiety attacks where I struggle to breathe, but every night I have horrific nightmares. Incredibly vivid lifelike nightmares where awful, terrible things happen to the people I love, or me sometimes. Ive been dealing with this everynight recently and nobody really seems to understand ..read more

I don’t understand why I have these constant thoughts of suicide and self hatred, there isn’t a reason for it. I don’t have a rough life or anything. I’m not dumb either, hell I’m going to compete nationally this October. I just don’t get why, like other people have traumas or things that may have caused it. I just feel that I shouldn’t get help because I’m taking away from someone who needs help more. My parents found out at one point I was having these thoughts and I felt horrible for them to bear the guilt of thinking they did something wrong, so I just said it’s fine and they stopped worr ..read more

Not sure if the title makes sense. I’ve spoken to my GP before and been diagnosed with anxiety and depression, given tablets and been referred for talking therapy. I was also referred for an autism/adhd assessment, the psychiatrist or whatever their actual title was came back and said they don’t think I’ve got it after many conversations and appointments. They did however say they think I have something but it just isn’t that and I was kind of just left. I know there is “something” wrong with me but I don’t know what. Is there any way of me seeing someone who can assess me for a range of diff ..read more

I(f23) struggle with anxiety and depression but am able to cope 75% of the time. The problem is the other 25%, because of this I have trouble being reliable at a job. I have days where I am just not able to work. I’m afraid that I’ll never be able to have a stable income or go into a career. I’m worried my whole life will be part-time minimum wage jobs and just barely scraping by. submitted by /u/weirdnewwhere [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi, so, my brain is weird since a few days. It seems to be in some kind of emergency Mode and seems to think it needs to be safe from something. But there's nothing to worry about. Not a Single little dangerous thing. Because of that it keeps turning on and off pretty much every kind of Emotion and it's getting hard to live with it. One time i'm depressed, the other second i'm pretty much manic, the other second i'm stone cold because my brain turned off some importsnt emotions, the other second i'm pretty much not consciously available or whatever to call it... And that's really hard. I have ..read more
