I’m back on, I was in a mental hospital ward. I am distressed. Nothing in my life feels in my control. They sedated me every morning and night, I only found out from my discharge papers and from the fact I’m taking less tablets. I spent most of my waking

Not coping

Hi. I'm not sure what to say. I'm not coping well. Right now I'm actually numb and it's probably a shutdown coz my brain can't cope with everything. I'm autistic by the way. It just seems like I'm cursed....which is probably not a good thing to say coz I'

Can you see me?

Hi, I’ve just joined, I never, and I mean never share in groups. I don’t really share with anyone except those very few people I let into my inner circle and even then I’m cautious. So this very big for me. I don’t know what to say or where to s

I upset my housemate today by politely asking them if I could have the old dish drainer back. Meanwhile they're worrying about other things. Bigger things. So they got really upset (behind closed doors).Why do I act like a Mum when I'm not one? Why am I s

...

Hi, I'm new to this group, and not really used to talking about things I'm feeling, but I feel like I'm at my end and no one really understands. I have been to therapy, I've tried medication, I've admitted myself to hospital, but everything feels like a b

Awareness and where to start

Hi I’ve just become pretty hyper aware of my different issues and the extent of my trauma and behaviour, a lot of it I already knew but I lied and suppressed a lot of it or have been hiding it at fault of mine amongst things that aren’t my fault, I’ve bee
