I don't know. It's about me taking up for my boyfriend's family over mine, but my family isn't as caring as his. It's about my aunt calling me crazy. She said my boyfriend lied and that she never said that, but to be honest I'm pretty sure she did. She called me today and pretty much told me that I don't have their help anymore. They also criticize me getting disability. They said I'm not disabled, but they don't know my diagnosis. I'm pretty sure that they are all talking about how horrible I am.

I talk to my wife, although she's bipolar, to my best friend, although he has PTSD, and just recently to my sister. She has mild depression and anxiety. So ttechnicallythey all have mental illness, but not the same as me.
Thanks for this!

I guess I only talk here. Occasionally I'll mention something to my friend, who knew I was psychotic long before I did.

#QOTD: My friend.

I always found that talking to people who aren't mentally ill about mental illness caused them to stray in friendship and sometimes ended it.

I usually talk to people on here but i talk to door and i have a really good relationship with door and door doesnt have a mental illness i dont think. she just came here to find out more about mental illness to help out her friend. but most of my friends have a mental illness. i do have a few that dont have a mental illness tho. i dont stray from them.

I'm new to Roll Call.

So I hope I'm doing this right.

@medicalfox

None of my friends have mental illness, but in the past, whenever I have tried to tell them about my mental "illness" they have left me, so the few friends I do have I don't talk to them about my illness at all. I actually avoid them a lot when I can because our friendships don't feel real. When we talk it's purely, "So, how's school? Oh, good. So how about this weather, huh?!" sort of thing.

@QOTD
My T is probably my biggest ever support. My parents come in close second. Once when I was having a horrible night, I called my T three times between 2am and 6:30am and she picked up every single time.
Thanks for this!

I try to just vent here most of the time. I tried talking to others, but I feel as if I'm creeping them out and pushing them away.

I don't like to talk about anything about it off the internet. In fact no one knows right now. Before I was very very reluctant to say anything to anyone.

Talking to a doctor or a shrink is easier than talking to anyone I personally know, but it was still very difficult for me and at times I still wasn't completely honestly.

More or less, its just a place to chat or talk about whatever is on your mind---sometimes it's related to psychosis, sometimes it's fun stuff, sometimes its random like I just ate a chocolate oreo pudding cup and it was really good

Hm, it got quiet here. I guess most people went and ate something. I'm bored. While I was out I was desperate to teleport back to my place, but once I was back I was disappointed and wishing I could have gone someplace fun.

That does sound disappointing.
I wish I could go someplace fun. Currently, I just finished a plate of organic spaghetti and now I'm rapidly surfing the internet looking for something to hold my attention for longer than 10 minutes at a time. :/
Thanks for this!

I used to not talk to anyone about it off the internet until I went to group. Now I do. But only to the people in group. but I want to stop going to group.

Welcome! ^.^ I'm Amber.

I'm sorry you can't sleep chickenfoot. that picture scares me just looking at it. I don't dare press play.

What's #QOTD?

I can't get my doctor to reply. I don't know what to do. I'm freaking out. She's leaving in like a week but she hasn't responded in any form of what I'm supposed to do when I can't get another psychiatrist to take me.
