Real Talk

 

Hello sweethearts! <3

Okay so I've been thinking. Here on aff are many people with mental illnesses right? But sometimes it's really hard to talk about it, especially to people who know you personally. But aren't we somewhat of a community here? 

As many of you know I myself struggle with depression, social anxiety, avoidant personality disorder and so on.
Just now I really wanted to go into the city to buy some things, it's only a ten minute walk from here, but from one second to the other I suddenly felt void of any energy and I can't seem to get out of bed.

It's just a small example but that's depression.

So I wondered, obviously I am not the only one suffering, why don't you share your struggles with me? We could support each other and try to understand what others are going through.
Perhaps we will feel less alone and give some advice to those who need it ^___^

Go on, tell me what the most about your life, it doesn't even have to be a mental illness but simply something that really s you up hard! Let it all out!

I guess for me my anxiety and stress comes from the thought that I may lose control. I lead a very busy life and sometimes an unusual one in my career. I work long hours and I am a mom too. It does get on top of me. Failing make me upset losing control makes me fearful and it leads to physical problems like blood pressure and stuff. I have been extremely lucky. I have good friends here and real life. I have a support system but even that I sometimes mess up because I say stupid stuff. I take each day at a time. I am trying to learn not to be too harsh on myself and also apologise to people when I need too. Theres a handful of people that I met on AFF who I adore and you are right without them my life would not be filled with laughter and kindness. I think its a lovely idea to be able to be open if possible and discuss feelings if you are ready to do it.
