Sometimes the rooms talk "off-topic", as some use distraction as a way to help them cope with their depression/bipolar, while others like to talk directly about their issues. When you join, feel free to jump into a convo or start one of your own. If you feel the rooms are too off topic you...

Well seems that things in the last 6 months have taken a turn for the worse. I feel everyday is just another battle. I've gone from being stable to barely functioning it feels like. Had have several weeks of constant idealization and almost acting on those thoughts. That has seem to subsided for a b...

I can only begin to imagine the fear you feel and face most of the time. Maybe talking with your mom about getting help in another town might be an option. As you say the only help nearby have be reported for abuse. Please keep safe and try and remember that your not alone.

((((( Numbing Ocean )))))))) I can really relate to you. I was told if I ignore the bad feelings I ignore the good ones. You can't pick and choose which to ignore. It's a package deal. Once you have started to acknowledge the painfull one only then will you feel the good ones. It's hard to deal with...

((((((((((( Upsidedown )))))))))) Sounds like your friend really cared about your feelings. Maybe the gentleman does like you and wasn't sure how you felt. Maybe your friend broke the ice between you two. You could simply text him and say Hi, what you doing, and see where the convo goes from there. ...

((((((((((( Nix ))))))))))))))))))) I'm sorry your are having to deal with this. It's hard not only on the sufferer but the family too. Maybe talk to her and see if she will open up to you about why she truly doesn't want therapy. I know for me it took a long time as I didn't think they would be abl...
