Best Of

@Ech0 thank you so much, hearing that means a lot right now and it really helps. I appreciate you and the effort you put into replying to and supporting people here, and I hope you remember that we're here for you also if you ever need anyone to listen

@Nemuritai It like you’re going through an incredibly heavy and exhausting time and trying to hold all of these feelings without feeling heard at home must be unbelievably lonely. I can only imagine how heavy and exhausting it must feel to carry all of this on your own, especially when it seems like the people closest to you don’t fully hear or understand how much you’re struggling. Your pain being brushed off with “you’ll be better tomorrow,” can make everything feel so much harder, because it leaves you feeling invisible when what you truly need is care, patience, and understanding.
Those waves of sadness you describe can be so disorienting, especially when they come back just when you think things might be settling. You may not feel strong, but what you’re doing by getting through each day and reaching out for support takes so much resilience. It also makes perfect sense that thinking about the future feels frightening which I relate to but it is okay to not have everything figured out right now. The future is something you can approach one small step at a time and it’s okay to focus on just getting through today or this week because even small steps are meaningful and impactful. You are not alone in imagining a future where things feel safer, calmer, and kinder. I believe that future is possible and you deserve to reach it at your own pace.

I hope you can hold onto the fact that your feelings matter very much and you deserve to be met with care and compassion. You don’t have to carry this by yourself and you can lean on this community whenever you like.

hi thank you al for the support, sorry for the late reply a lot has been happening. After some advocacy from CRHT, CMHT acknowledged that there are now neurological problems from the medication but i have to wait until Jan 26th to see a Medic/psychiatrist again. Struggling so much it feels like it won’t change. Thank you all for the support I appreciate it a lot. I am safe.

@Blue_lily and @Redemption thank you so much for your kind words, it really does mean a lot to me right now. I got kind of teary reading those but in a good way. I appreciate you both lots and it means so much to have people listen and care. I hope you both are doing okay

hey @Nemuritai

I am sorry your mental health is not doing good at the moment. I hear how you are exhausted and the waves of sadness keep coming at you. You are doing so well to keep pushing through.

You mention that your parents aren't listening to you, it must be difficult to feel like you have to carry these feelings on your own. You deserve to feel heard.

I just want to say that although it may feel like you have to carry these feelings on your own this community will always be here for you whether you need to vent or chat. You are not alone on this journey, we are here by your side.

I believe you have got this. You matter so much and from seeing your responses to other users on here you truly are such a kind soul.

Sending you virtual hugs

I'm not doing well right now, my mental health hasn't been good at all if I'm completely honest and I'm so tired of dealing with everything by myself. I keep trying to tell my parents how much I'm struggling and that sometimes I don't want to live anymore (I'm safe and have no plans, just thoughts) and they won't listen to me, if they do the response is always 'you'll be better tomorrow' and of course I always wake up feeling pretty much the same. I'm so exhausted and things are so painful and it's just hard to cope with at the moment. I keep thinking I'm doing better for a few days but then the wave of sadness comes back and I can't do much but cry and try not to listen to the thoughts because they're not helpful. I just kind of want to move out but of course I'm not old enough and I don't feel prepared for living on my own at all, and thinking about the future makes me feel really upset and scared.

@Nemuritai Im so sorry your parents aren't understanding and everything you're going through too but you're so brave, it takes courage to come on here and talk about this. It will get better and we are here for you in the meantime. Im so proud of you and Im sure everyone else us too

So much is going on CRHT arranged a joint appointment with CMHT to advocate for me. Unfortunately it’s a lot of we probably can’t do x y z CRHT really pushed for me and advocated I finally felt like what I wanted to say came across. I’m hoping something falls through. They acknowledged the medication has caused me neurological problems but I can only see a medic about it Late Jan 2026 🙄. I hope the neurological effects go they are destroying me, I’m so so unlucky to have had this reaction. They have no plan to support me or get me ‘better’ because they want to continue to ‘assess’ me, . CRHT were so helpful at getting my voice heard though. CRHT said that if they believe I have autism they should be accommodating my needs for the traits they have identified. I really hope things improve quickly I’m struggling with my MH so much now

Hi @Jack25, I'm so sorry to hear how much you've been carrying recently, that must be so incredibly difficult. I really hope you're able to get the support you deserve and that things improve. We're all here for you if you need anything or want to talk anytime Sending virtual hugs (if comfortable)
