I've noticed that despite being my anxiety getting worse, I was and am becoming more and more comfortable talking openly over here. I don't know why, is it just the more open atmosphere or not having to worry about people not understanding any of my problems. But I've always wondered, why do people still find me important enough to care, or find time to talk to me no matter how unreasonable I'm being. I would've (and have before..) given up on me a long time ago, how do you guys keep this all up..

And for those that care, update on me: Past week has been kinda bad. I've left my bedroom for only a few hours during the week and mostly just stayed in bed. was sui for one of the days after being triggered by my parents once again going out of their way to call me useless and worthless for not doing anything, not saying it's not true but still always hurts. It's getting really hard to find the motivation to make an appointment right now.

Juuso, I'm so glad that you are liking the atmosphere here. There truly are so many great people here!

I'm sorry to hear that your week was hard. We're all here for you. It's rough when parents and others close to us don't understand. I think an appointment would really help, and I hope you can find the motivation to make one!

Glad you are here. So many of us have been "there"---and back more than once or twice...
(it might be very hard but helpful to find things to do outside of the house, away from the parents/the pain of unmet needs...somehow we have to learn to separate our selves from the judgments/opinions of others we want love and care from so much...)
Hang in there, and you will be helping others too. Just by being, talking, and waking up each day.

I also noticed talking to people here helps to unload things off your heart. People here are kind and caring, nonjudgmental. I suppose because we are all going thru much the same problems. We understand what emotional pain is like. If you are hurting this bad it would be worthwhile to make that appointment. The emotional pain is bad enough and when people you live with don't or more like cannot understand and make harsh judgments I know that makes you feel worse.

Hang in there and keep posting to us. Were are here for you. Feel free to pm me if you wish.

It's nice when you realize you are not the only one suffering. Interacting with others that know what you are going through really does help. We can't fix you but we can listen and offer advice on what can help. Get out of the house more, if even just to take a walk. Be kind to yourself. You are not alone.
