Transport challenges (mental health)

Italia

Hey everyone!

I'm Talie, and part of my role alongside working with the community is making sure your voices are at the centre of everything we do!

I’m hoping to get some of your insights on something we’re exploring. If you’ve ever felt like mental health challenges make using public transport harder, we’d love to hear about your experiences. Whether it’s anxiety, panic, feeling overwhelmed, or anything else, your input would be really helpful.

We’re considering researching how a text-based support service might make things easier for people who struggle with public transport due to mental health. But before we dive in, we want to understand what these experiences are like directly from you.

If you’re up for sharing, please drop a comment below – your story could help others realise they’re not alone!

Any questions let me know.

Thanks so much for being open about this. 😊

Good thread idea. Im into cars a lot and luckily drive now which I'm grateful for but I used to have to get the bus home from college, just waiting around, in winter or autumn it was cold and wet. I ended up getting lifts but had to wait around then a bit. I didn't have to use it much after, just in September I had a work related session, I did a couple of test runs to just make sure I know where to go but I was worried what if I get off at the wrong stop then get lost or just get lost anyway so I was a bit anxious like just getting it in the past I didn't like it too because I was into cars, I was comparing myself to people who can drive and then I don't like most public transport anyway especially the bus.
