Hi everyone, I'm back.

Hi everyone, mb20lover here. I wasn't sure where to post this.

It's been a while since I was on the forums, so I just wanted to make a post saying that I'm back. However, I'll try my best to limit my time, comments, etc on here.

I won't bother tagging anyone, and I'll try to keep this as my only open thread that I have created.

I've missed everyone I've spoken to on here, and I hope to talk to some new people. I have been using my offline supports - my Psychiatrist, GP, Parent support of course, and a Social Worker. I'm in the process of finding a Psychologist but I'm having no luck.

Anyway, I just wanted to pop in and say hello, and also I hope I haven't upset anyone on the forums or anything like that because nothing was intentional, so I deeply apologise.

An update on me, I recently turned 21, can't do much with COVID though, it's a hard year for everyone unfortunately.

I also have a milestone, an achievement, I've been seeing my Psychiatrist for a year which is the longest I've stayed with a therapist. And I also finally have a GP I feel comfortable with. I'm on different meds that seem to be working a little but I still of course have my moments, but these meds I've been on the longest for out of any of the ones I've tried.

Other than that, please don't feel pressured to comment anyone, although it would be nice to connect with some people, old or new, but like I said that's okay. I just wanted to check in.

If you've read this and made it this far, thank you. Stay safe and take care everyone, as much as possible with the unfortunate COVID circumstances.

Thinking of all the Beyond Blue Mods & Users. I've missed everyone.

- mb20lover.

Sorry all.

Tony - thanks for explaining that and the nice poems. I've been raised to treat everyone equally and not brag about what I have. I don't look down on people who have disabilities, mental illnesses, physical illnesses, less than others (for example they don't have much money, a car, etc). I don't brag about stuff. I had a very toxic "friend" I've known since I was 8 who constantly did that that I cut out of my life.

Amber - what do you mean if they're about uncomfortable stuff? Yeah my Dog is protective and loyal. I try to say that about being busy and having appointments or making up some excuse but she still doesn't get it. No I don't want anything to do with her. She befriended me, I thought she was odd from the start but now I seem to realise it more.

J - that's true, and nice analogy. Yes I'm having a very hard time lately. I told this to my Psychologist tonight (over the phone because they're not close to me), and my Mum. I'll tell my GP and Psychiatrist when I see them about this lady. The Psychologist said that even if she is lonely, she shouldn't be doing this, and even if she may have trouble processing certain things slower than others (without being rude), she should still respect my space and not invade it and make me uncomfortable. She said I have every right to speak up.

Thanks Tony and J for explaining what modest means, I'm just stupd. Heard it before but wasn't too sure what it meant.

It will be a difficult thing to do.I hope your day's been ok.

Yeah it will be. Dad just says I should leave it alone and talk to her if I see her or if some comes up to our house again

Tayla hopefully she doesn't annoy you any more but if she does then you might have to have a word with her for your own mental health.

Yeah hopefully

I am really sorry your feeling so depressed lately.I am here if you need to talk.

Mblover

I am also sorry to see that you have been depressed recently.

I have noticed from this thread on your helpful posts to others what kind caring person you are .You are always keen to offer support to others so I hope you can all be kind to yourself.

I find the word stupid to be unhelpful because we all know different things. There are many words I don’t know.

it must be unsettling with this lady, I hope that can be resolved soon.
