What a YEAR - 2023 

I‘m proud of you. You’ve accomplished a lot this year. Stay strong

your videos have helped me for years eveytime i need them thank you for uploading still

My parents split up today. Off to the gym i go

This years been a roller coaster. Started the year being bullied in school and got beat up twice cause im gay. Bad home shit meanwhile but focusing on myself every day got me through it. Then was my birthday in May. Nearly topped myself but just scrapped by. Then i left school with ok grades and got a job. I was happy for abit and had a good few months. Then more home problems evolved but really got into the gym and making sure I eat well and treat myself daily and it really helped. best thing I've ever done is making sure I'm happy even in bad times. And as of today my parents split up and its gunna be abit rough for a few months but I got this💪 thanks mate for helping people relate and learn about mental illness❤ you've saved lives

It's had its ups and downs a major one is getting out of foster care and put back with my abusive mother which resulted in me trying to off myself (after my mother encourages it) but he that is probably one of the worst things that happened this year. One of the best is probably getting a month month clean from S/H that was a huge achievement and that's the longest I've ever gone :) Sorry if this is too much feel free to delete it if it is :)

My mental health has been up and down this year, as has my physical health. I had an ED relapse from late 2022 to early 2023. I then was doing a fair bit better with that, and my physical health declined. I've been chronically ill my whole life, but a new issue arose, and eventually, my physical health declining led to higher anxiety and depression levels. In september, I started going to the doctors again to try and get my main illness looked into, and got gaslit again, big surprise. That has led to the last few months of increasing depression and urges. I know that makes it sound like this year's been bad, but there definitely were up times too, it's just definitely been a roller coaster of so many different issues arising...

Graduated from high school and started college this year. Been an absolute nightmare on my mental health, especially the summer. SH and addiction has controlled me a lot, especially my DPH use which has messed with my head. My parents found some of my old Reddit posts about suicide ideation today and we had a long and frankly unproductive talk. Going back to college tomorrow and I’m going to go through the typical motions of self improvement (gym, counseling, and medication), but I’m not optimistic or motivated. I don’t have a drive to get better anymore and I feel aimless. Not looking forward to another year on this miserable planet, but my basic instinct to be alive is keeping me afloat for the time being.

Oh man what a crazy year😳 2023 has been the year where: - I lost one of my beloved close family members - went through 3 failed situation ships, broke my heart 2 of the times (currently going through the last one.. he ghosted me a few weeks ago, and left me wondering if I’m even worth more than just a “few” months of fun, or how I can even trust anyone else dating wise..) - Had to find a new apartment - lost my job, and got a new job - cried waaaay to much - got diagnosed with stress and depression (no wonder why I guess) - managed to speak up about the sexual assault/rape I experienced as a 9 year old - Got even closer to some of my close friends, by letting them in and telling them about All of my struggles.. And despite the hard things I had/have to go through: somehow managed to be self harm free for a year now, and still don’t know how (I guess its thanks to therapy..)

Up and down all year. Mainly down 🤣

Are you ok?

Hello- We miss you. Are you ok?

Do u still hear voices ?

I need some advice (TW) I am a minor, and I have a doctor's appointment in about a week and a half. I don't want them to find out about *certain activities that may have caused damage to my left arm.* what should I do? I am trying desperately to not relapse, because if I do, they will tell my parent. any advice?
