As a 13-year old computer-nerd I almost tanked one of the biggest companies in the country's server-park including backups, by spilling a full can of pepsi in a server room. Noone saw it, and I'm still clear to this day. But man I was f-ing fast out of there :D

Hearing people say that if a woman has a C-section that she is not a real mother is like a knife in the gut. I have two children and would have loved to have them naturally. The closest I got was giving birth (per say) to a miscarried child at 22 weeks. His twin was removed via D&E. A C-section is NOT the easy way out and it doesn't lessen the love a mother has for their child. People think before opening your mouth.

Stuff them. Who cares what shittypeople think? I had my kids the usual way but couldn't breast feed. Turns out my breast are merely ornamental (my joke). It hurt, literally and figuratively, to not be able to feed them. They're healthy affectionate teens anyway. You know you're a good momma. Tune out the negative jerks. <3

I lied on my initial resume for work 12 years ago and I mean everything. Degrees, former jobs, and expertise. I have been with the same company and have been promoted multiple times up to director and run a team globally with around 1500 people reporting to me at any given point….I have to lie from time to time when people talk about my past and it kills me to lie but I love that I can support my wife and daughter without worrying about money. It’s a constant level of shame and pride.

TW for s*xual assault:
When I was 12 I was sexually assaulted by my nephew Who was an older teen at that time around 17 I think. It really hurts to keep this inside and not tell anyone at home about it but at the same time I feel like there's no point in telling them because all it would cause is family problems plus I don't I'll be able to answer their questions or explain it to them in details so it's just easier not to open up...I wish I opened up at the time it happened. I thought I forgave him for religious reasons but it still hurts me and I end up crying randomly sometimes, it's been 4 years and I still feel uncomfortable seeing him although I just talk and pretend nothing happened because that's what he does and I bet he'll gaslight me if I confront him about it

Please don't do anything drastic. I would be happy to show you what help is available. It is a sad thing that you feel like you have lost you best friend, but think about the guilt and pain she would experience if you were to kill yourself because she moved. You do not say why she moved and if it is temporary or permanent. Is there any chance you could move closer to her? If not please remember that there are so many ways to keep in touch these days- video call, texts, social media. It is not the same as being with her, but you can stay connected. Only a kind, compassionate person could miss a friend so dearly. Please stay strong. Your life has value and meaning and the world would be a much worse place without you. Tomorrow will be a better day.

Try using it as a starting point and think of what you want to happen: That is the best case scenario. Remember "Si vis pacem, para bellum" - "If you want peace, prepare for war" or "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst". It's not easy, I know, my son suffers from PTSD, anxiety and so on, and often let focusing on the worse case overwhelm him. He does things like write down a goal, write how it should be achieved, think about what could go wrong and think how to turn that into something positive. Doesn't always work, but he's trying. It might not work for you, but try different things. If you find yourself overwhelmed by doubt and bad feeling, try to find someone to rage to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRD51qEJ8t4

I'm thinking I might be bisexual, but honestly I don't know. I know I'm attracted to guys, but I'm really not sure if I'm attracted to girls yet. Also, I am super worried about one of my friends. He's really depressed and I don't want to lose him seeing as I may or may not have a crush on him. I know there's no way I can fix it seeing as I have mental health issues too (bad case of anxiety), but I'm trying to figure out a way to help him in some other way.

OK, you can talk about your pain. You don't have to talk to a friend. Talk to your dog, or cat, or, even, a tree. You need to articulate your feelings. You need to "hear them" spoken out loud. Hearing them, allows you to "see" them. In that you are no longer focusing on one tiny or big thing, but putting them into perspective.

I'm a really huge pushover and too nice for my own good, and it's really hard and I think I might really need therapy because I dont tell anyone about anything because I dont want to inconvenience anyone! There was this one time the gym teacher in 5th grade made us do a plank the whole hour nonstop because someone said a couple words while he was giving instructions, and I couldnt straighten my arms and everyone was in so much pain that the gym teacher was reported, and I DIDNT TELL ANYONE! I was scared that my parents would move me to a different school and I was afraid people would lose their jobs, I was afraid I would get grounded, I was afraid my parents were gonna have to pay like 10,000 dollars for it!!! I really need to get off this habit!

I have the same problem (not with the mental issues, but with the pushover.) The best thing you can do is say no. If its important, dont do this, but if someone starts using you for there own goals, saying no will help you build confidence, and start to solve the rest of it. Im still suffering it, but this is the best advice i can give. Hope it helps!

I might be a "highly sensitive person". It is a psychological terms that means someone who might experienced stronger psychological reaction, whether it is positive or negative, compared to normal person.

Some says it is a gift, since you can be more emphatize with others, but I see it as a curse, since it causes me more pain to the point I used to be suicidal.

I want to go to psycholog or therapist to address this matter, but in my country (Indonesia), if you ever go to one, you'll be stigmatized as mentally deranged person or worse, "less than a normal human". Even most companies or insurance companies will track your record if you've ever gone to that kind of place, thus lessen your chance to be approved.

Up to now, I'm still relying on self-help or self-therapy if you want to call it so. But I'm open should I've ever met a therapist that could keep the session with me discreet.

Have had a long history of mental health issues and luckily an unsuccessful suicide attempt. I was misdiagnosed for a long time, bipolar and BPD being treated as depression. Talking and medication has helped me immensely and I hope you're able to get some assistance. I'm very lucky to be in Australia, sending good thoughts. x

I’m 13. I have depression, I am non-binary, I like women and fellow enbys. I have a history of self harm, multiple suicide attempts, and are VERY insecure. My self harm started when I was nine, I didn’t realize it was self harm until I got older. What I would do is find shards of glass and cut my fingertips, I squeezed the blood out and licked it up. (The taste of blood is somewhat satisfying). My self harm escalated at about 10, I found scissors and cut my arm, i kept doing so until I was caught, they hid the scissors to help keep me safe. I visit my grandmother often, she often goes out for smoke breaks, I would go to the kitchen and cut my arms with a knife. I would hide my arms, and got caught again. I’ve learned to cut my legs instead. I’m insecure about my chest size, not because it’s too small, but because it’s too big. I’m not content with being a girl, I dislike the title and do not want lady bits. I have a transphobic not supportive “family member” I do not consider him a part of my family because of how harmful he is towards me. It is not physical but verbal, he keeps trying to convince me that I’m a girl and that I always be one. He always disrespects my pronouns (they/them) purposefully and does not accept being corrected. I hate him for how disrespectful he is, and whenever we get done arguing he goes back to talking like nothing happened and it infuriates me. I always wear a smile and positive attitude, and whenever I’m alone I rest my face and try not to cry.

I don't like the majority of my family. It's not that they're bad people or anything like that. But if we weren't related, there's no way I'd spend time with them. I'd never tell any of them that because of course it would be monumentally hurtful, but I feel like I have nothing in common with them, disagree with most of their opinions, and our personalities just don't mesh well. I love them and I know they love me, but I feel like a complete outsider and like it's not safe to be myself around them. I've made excuses to avoid the last several family get-togethers. There have been several times my feelings have been completely invalidated over things that really, really mattered to me, and that's made me not want to talk to them about things that are important to me. How can there be a good relationship when you can't be authentic or open or vulnerable around your family? And honestly, I low-key suspect that a lot of them think me coming out as nonbinary and pan is bullsh*t and just won't say it to my face. Also not a great feeling.

i'm scared i might have multiple personalities/be a system.
for the past couple of months i've been hearing many different voices that weren't the average intrusive thoughts. they have different genders, ages, pronouns, names, and they pop up somewhat often. for the past few weeks or so some of them have also. taken over my body somewhat? and just pushed me out of control of my body with a vague awareness on what was happening. i am aware that multiple personalities and systems are mainly created because of childhood trauma. however, i can't remember my childhood. it's such a stupid situation that i can't even explain to my therapist because i don't want to make it sound like i'm faking it for clout or something. but it scares me so much, i hate not being in full control over myself, and i hate not understanding what's going on in my head.

Although I haven't experienced anything like this, I at least know what you mean about wanting to be in control of yourself. However, it seems reasonable that you won't know more about what is going on until you allow yourself to let go a little bit at a time (in a safe environment). Eventually you'll learn something important that you can use. Also, tell your therapist what you wrote above.

My mom is mentally ill but doesn’t recognize it. She hurts me constantly with the way she talks… always angry, justified and rants continually about government theories and judging people. I can barely talk about anything to her because any discussion, ever as basic as the weather, triggers one of her rants. When she does this, she can go on for hours, repeating the same things she has said for years and her manner of speech is so angry hateful and aggressive. It’s escalating into racism and severe judgment of all. The times I have GENTLY and LOVINGLY confronted her, she won’t let me speak and talks over me angrily justified. It triggers more ranting. I want her to know how much she hurts me and my family so she can get help, but I am afraid she will kill herself because she is also depressed. I love her unconditionally.

I was home educated. I spent my teen years as a child and am now struggling with the jump into adulthood. I am ignorant and never learned the social interactions or life skills you'd find in secondary school. I loved my extended childhood at the time but I'm now horribly out of sync with my age group.

Don't be so sure being educated at home is the biggest part of this. I went to school, and I'm completely out of touch with every age group. I didn't fit in even when I had friends, and it was really weird being an outcast from the outcasts. Nearly all of my social interactions are online now, and the few I do have are with co-workers, and are thankfully brief as I couldn't cope otherwise. Before anyone says, no I'm not on the spectrum.

Just yesterday I saw a stand-up comedian do a bit on veganism. He wondered if a vegan was on death row, would they choose a salad for their last meal or go straight to a double cheeseburger with bacon?

Yeah, I guess.
Okay this is a bit weird:
I can’t sleep without a stuffed, pink, bunny security blanket.
I am now in my teen years and I still can’t sleep without it.
I like squeezing it’s ears at night, it just feels so calming!
It has been sewed up, patched up, and had much work done to it to keep it in good condition.
It went from fluffy and bright pink, to a more rough, brownish-pink (because of how many times it has been washed).

I’m decently self conscious, even though it doesn’t really show. Getting a binder has helped a lot though, so has the mask wearing for Covid. No one can see my face or my expressions. I don’t have to smile. I like it.
I don’t play with my bird as much as I should. I feel bad for that.
I haven’t really told anyone I’m omnisexual. I mean, I act pretty gay lol so I think some people suspect.
The reason I want to be famous is so I won’t be forgotten as easily when I die. I don’t want to be forgotten.
I’m jealous of my only child friend sometimes.
Also I was the one who made the power go off because I stuck the tweezers in the outlet.

It’s ok. Life goes up and down - it’s the longest thing you’re ever gonna do. Over time it gets easier, and harder, and easier. I’m proud of you for making the power go out. I once did a similar thing to fix a light dimmer. It bit me. Silly really, got quite a shock ;)

Asking for help can be hard, but it can help you cope so you can be yourself again. I take depression medicine that helps level me out, so even if I get sad or depressed, I don't go so deep that I lose myself.

Not one of my friends has called to check on me for either of those big, traumatic life changes.

Please try to find someone to whom you can express your feelings. It might all feel really bad right now, but things can get better. One thing that helps some people is, even though it feels nearly impossible to do so, find a way to get outside, even for a walk around your block. Once you conquer that, you can venture to other places of interest, maybe a bookstore, or whatever appeals to you. I am sorry you are feeling so alone while dealing with huge life changes. Please know you are of value, and I truly hope you know this.

I have fallen in love, while being able to completely lie to everyone, saying I never will.
so this is fun, and I don't know what to do now.
This guy is my friend, but I'm at a place in my life where I can't really date and it would go nowhere if I did confess and we felt the same way. He has dropped many hints, but I can't stop gaslighting myself.
any advise?

Take a deep breath. You might not know it / or even believe it, , but things will get better. Take small steps- moves are huge things, especially after such huge tumultuous life events such as sickness and breakups. Seek professional help, join a club or group that does something you are interested in. Grow something, because you are SO worth it. You may not know me, but I send you love ❤️ and I know you can do it.
