Hey Pandas, Let’s Talk About Mental Health

Basically just talk about mental health related stuff. For example, you can vent about anxiety or you can ask questions to people who have mental health problems.

This post may include affiliate links.

Having depression and anxiety is not my fault. Being an addict is not my fault. But they don't absolve me of responsibility for my behavior. I'm still responsible for how I treat people and (since I have access) for seeking out and doing treatment and actively working on my behavior. "I'm sorry for bailing out all the time, but I have anxiety" is inexcusable. "I'm struggling with an anxiety attack; I can't go out until it calms down" is reasonable.

I swear I'm trying. I swear I'm not lazy. I swear that it's not my fault. I don't want to die. But I don't want to live either I'm just so tired.

I'm glad you're trying, I know you're not lazy, and it couldn't be your fault at all. It's okay that you feel that way, it really really sucks and it hurts a ton but it isn't forever. You can get through this

I’m trying to get my eating disorder under control but it’s pretty difficult. But lately because I’ve been eating more I’m not miserable and cranky.

I literally haven't eaten anything for 3 days, I've lost like 15 pounds. I'm slightly hungry but whenever I try to eat I just can't manage to swallow anything without feeling like im just going to gain more weight. I'm not overweight, so idk why this is happening. My mum wants to send me to a hospital but I have a paid profile pic commission that I haven't finished and I really don't want to be called a scammer or smthn. Help help help help helpppp

Lex you really need to go to the hospital. Please. Your health needs to come first. I don't want you to die. If you can, try eating small things like crackers or toast or cereal, those are easier to stomach, especially after not eating for a long period of time. And try to stay hydrated. I really want you to be safe and alright. So please go to the hospital. I care about you.

No, I'm not going to kms. But I will be gone for either 1, 2, or 3 months. My family is trying to send me to an all "girls" (cough, cough) boarding school thingy for middle school kids with mental illnesses and/or eating disorders. No personal electronic devices allowed. Only one phone call (to home) per week. It's in a different state as well, maybe around 6-7 hours away from where I live. If I end up going there I will have no access to BP. I also can't email either, so those pandas that I have emailed in the past... you may not hear from me for quite a while. I love you guys. Hopefully this isn't "bye" for more than a month. Hopefully. Even if I do end up going, which I most likely am, I will probably still be on BP for a couple more days & on the extremely long drive there. Twilight, May, imp, Amy, and all my other BP besties and acquaintances, don't kys while I'm gone please. Stay safe guys. Bye. ❤️

Question. Do you have to have been through trauma or extreme stress to have Dissociative Identity Disorder?

I think that most people who have it have gone through trauma. The traits of it are having two personalities, gaps in memory, and the condition causes problems in daily life. Here’s the website I got it from if you want to look in to it more: https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/dissociative-disorders/what-are-dissociative-disorders#:~:text=Symptoms%20of%20dissociative%20identity%20disorder,or%20reported%20by%20the%20individual. Keep in mind that it requires a diagnosis from a doctor

Is there someone you know IRL who you can safely talk to about it?

Idk this could be mental or physical health, but I just don’t have the energy to talk to my friends anymore. I don’t have depression or anything like that, I feel fine and relatively happy, and my friends are great and awesome, but talking to them has just been getting more and more draining and I just don’t want to anymore. I feel like an awful person and a bad friend because I know I’m being kind of distant but I just find myself wanting to be alone all the time. I don’t feel that way with my mom or brother or anything, or even my friends outside of school. It’s just the friends in school. Like I just want to be alone in school, talking to them wears me out and I don’t really want to meet up with them outside of school. Again, my friends are awesome and I don’t think they are the problem. Ugh idk sorry for the long rant.

You're not being a bad friend to them. Just make sure that they know why you aren't talking and then take whatever breaks you need to. You should never have to sacrifice your well being for ANYONE else, even if they're your best friend.
