Vent and then let it go...

[Guest_1055]

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.

Sad, sometimes a feeling of unrealness, a feeling of far away, I feeling of needing my soul to wake up. Feel in snared by fear, feel trapped by shame

Does anyone really care about "lived experience with Mental Health?"

sick of ppl talking down to me and not giving power and voice to those who are in the mental health system. We are experts of a kind, and know a lot about mental health

Sleepy I 100% support this statement and message.

Hi sleepy I know what you mean about know one listening to your input on mental health.Today my cousin put a share post about depression on Facebook and I put my thoughts and personal experience on the subject and felt my cousin just shot my opinion down like I know nothing about mental health.I just have 50 years of life experience with it so what would I know?

[Guest_1643]

thats the worst when ppl tell u like u don't have any idea... and don't listen

so frustrating and annoying not to have a voice

[Guest_1584]

Yeah that's why l came here sleepy bc if anyone knows MH it's gotta be the people living it.

yes we know and the experiences of ppl struggling with it including to get help is more real than anyone's perceptions eg when ppl say "just go get a MHCP from ur doc, u'll be set" - for most ppl thats just the first of a million little steps we have to do to stay well (and no guarantee of helpfulness either) . How many ppl have seen shoddy MH professionals and counsellors, shoddy GPS, have been told to do mindfulness when it just doesn't work for them, and all this makes you feel worse because u've failed again. I wish ppl just listened and respected us.
