@rickyxolson I’m glad there is a day for mental health because I’ve been dealing with this my entire life. Right now I’m a single mom of two kids and everyday it’s a struggle to keep going and not give up at times when I know that would be the easy way out. That’s why music is a big part of my life. Linkin park especially has helped me through my difficult times as a child and I know that I could always count on them to help me through whatever I was going through at that time. Rip Chester.

Trying to manage being pregnant and single, and all that requires. No support or communication with the dad as he’s very unstable and unsafe. For the most part, I’m navigating it ok, but there are moments where it’s much harder. I’m learning to ask for and accept help, which is new for me as I’m always the one who “fixes” things for everyone else.

Thank you sharing this! Thanks for being vulnerable with us and helping so many today. It’s very difficult for me to be vulnerable and when I am, I feel guilty like I shouldn’t have shared that. I feel that those vulnerable sad feelings are a burden for others to hear and unfortunately, these feelings never seem to go away and I just hide it most times.

My piercer, hair dresser, and tattoo artits are all loving my increasing mental instability. However I’m hating the fact that I’m slowly losing my mind

I feel this 
. Life has been so hard here recently it’s unbelievable. Health wise is taking a toll and it’s not 100 that serious but still. It’s like one thing after another and I do struggle with every day life at times. It just shows no matter who you are we all just humans and sometimes we just need help. Thanks for showing that it’s okay not to be okay.

This is amazing! What I have learned is that the first step is always self awareness and asking for help when it’s needed, we shouldn’t be ashamed or feel like we need to hide these issues! Thank you for putting your story out there!

i have to get surgery again which means the last year- the last 8 prosecutes and 27 visits were all for nothing. and it’s only getting worse. i’m so beyond stressed with money and paying bills and i’m only 21. i’m afraid i’m going to start drowning soon enough in work, college, and doctors appointments.

@rickyxolson Thank you for using your platform to help others. Therapy has been a big part of my life. It’s helped me process trauma and correct problem behaviors, but I also use it as a way to just vent about work day and world event stress. I hope whatever you are currently working through brings you peace soon

I’ve only just started therapy again after originally referring myself to several different MH services in MAY
I should have asked for help way before then but I let it get to breaking point before I finally did something about it, and even then I had to wait MONTHS before actually receiving that help
I’ve been in and out of therapy for 10+ years. Sometimes it’s been helpful and sometimes it hasn’t, THIS time I actually have SOME hope that it will at least do SOMETHING.
Between my dog dying, complete burnout and being overwhelmed I’ve been extremely, extremely sick because of it all, it’s been hell and I won’t lie I’ve thought about ending it all several because it’s been too much to deal with. This is what happens when you wait too long to get help
Don’t be an idiot like me and wait till it gets worse, get help as soon as you realise you need it. The waiting lists are shocking but as long as you’re ON that list you will get help as soon as it’s available
