Lived Experience Forum

The last month but the last week in particular has been incredibly tough. Not only has my mental health affected me but my siblings. I don't have any thoughts of suicide but I get long intermittent spouts of severe low mood with OCD and dissociative mental states. You might noticed I barely post   just needed to update you

I know this post won't change anything but it's worth putting the word out there

Hi @Peteyzee98 

Welcome to the Sane forums. Well done for reaching out.

I'm sorry to hear that you are going through so much at the moment. Those low parts in our lives can really affect us.

There always seems to be someone to talk to on here if you need the company.

Hey @Peteyzee98 ,

Whilst the Community Guidelines say we need to maintain anonymity, and therefore, cannot share Facebook details, we can certainly here that things are very challenging. 

We want you to know you are not alone. 

We appreciate you updating us and letting us know how things are going. 

By sharing on the forums, I hope you find the support and belonging that you deserve.

Would you consider speaking to your doctor about what's happening for you (if you haven't already?)
