Not sure about anyone else but sometimes I just need to vent, including venting any frustrations, fears, hopes, worries, longings and anything else. Most of the time I don't want any advice or any responses. Just need a way to get it all out from within me.
So thought this thread could be for those sort of things. No one replys to you with words or anything. It's a place to let it all go. Just dump whatever it is you want to say and leave it here.
So yeah no replys please.

the words some ppl use to talk about mental health.... like in casual conversation... or occasionally whn i call lifeline.. just not ok
"So, how long have you had MH issues"
"How bad is your illness?"
etc etc etc
taking away my power to define who i am. summarising a person's life and feeling with archaic, limited terms....
i'd rather define my own story than fit in some stupid box for ppl's convenience.

How can some people think bullying of any kind - online, in person, anything, is ok? And when it's on a group chat, a moderated one? Not here, I have no issues with here.
Why does this stuff happen to me? Then it was deleted and made to look like I made it up. Sigh. What have I ever done?

Sorry mb , online is brutal in any form mostly l've found. And the minute you think you have understanding or a special something with someone, it turns out you didn't and they don't have a clue , or they jump all over you for the tiniest stupid thing.
l've been in forums for yrs and only made 1 or 2 real friends in all that time, considering there would've been dozen even 100s a long the way l'd have considered friends at first , 1 or 2 at last though. Thank the Gods bb seems to have a bit more understanding and respect around and you even see people developing real friendships.
Makes a nice change doesn't it. rx

All he was concerned about was girls who were out of his league. When I asked to be with him I was being ‘unreasonable’ and ‘selfish’ even though most times we were together we would be at an event or at a friend’s house.
he was so concerned about his music and gaming. He asked me to go and see him and all he would do is play his XBox. And I did not live just around the corner, about a fifty minute drive.
He was so willing to write to the girl who he said had a crush on but when I wanted to exchange love letters he said that was ‘pointless’ yet he knew I was an old soul and loved letter writing. Why would you still be concerned about a girl you are not with? Why couldn’t you just make more of an effort with the girl you were actually seeing?????????
Other girls were attractive and beautiful. Yet I was embarrassing looking?
never ever again!!

Sometimes it just hurts. It hurts when you rely on others to love you and they don't all the time.
They may be tired and that is why they may speak in frustration at you.
They may be irritable because they are tired and absolutely have no patience
They may have had a stressful day at work and need to be by themselves for a bit. It doesn't mean they don't care about me does it? Even if it seems like they are avoiding me.
I want to not take it personally when all this happens to me.
