Thanks all! It warms my heart to see the support on this tribe. I almost wish I could give everyone a month of mental illness, just because I think the world would be a better place for it!

Re: Check in for Nov 8-16

Good call Darla...the holidays can be hard. I lost my mom and since then it has not been a pleasant time of year...besides the feeling of needing to be forced into "good cheer"! Plus it's financially difficult for everyone, and especially as a stu...

I'm sorry, that sounds really uncomfortable. Have you tried using a neti pot? Nasal irrigation...super easy, it really helps a lot! You can find them at most pharmacies now, I think.

Re: INJF Men and Women
(in INFJ)
Applies for a friend (male) I had who was INFJ. I was really surprised when he told me...had no idea of the F (I'm sure you learn to hide it). He seemed kind of cold but when he had a panic attack he came and laid his head in my lap and was like S...

What did I label? I don't understand. I wasn't trying to be offensive.

Slightly freaking out...going to run and the go to the library or somewhere and see if my brain will work better. I have to get out of my room. I wish I had a good place to go and hang out at any hour but I haven't found that here yet. Quiet is so hard to find!

Maybe the meds are starting to do their thing. I feel hopeful again...awesome! I was able to write today, and was in a zone, like the normal me, not the unfocused crazy me. THANK GOD. I got a little overwhelmed at all I have to do by the end of the semester, but I refocused back to today, and only today. I'm trying to practice Radical Acceptance when I get frustrated.

Also, my friend sent me a little money (unasked for) because she knows I'm having financial troubles...so I was super grat... read more
I broke up with my poor BF last night...he tried so hard, but he just couldn't really get what I'm going through. He also thinks it's temporary...and while, yes, one would hope the suicidal part is temporary, the reality is I'm always going to be struggling and a lot of the time it's going to affect my reactions. I will never be as well-adjusted as he is, and I don't think he can see that. I guess I need to be alone for quite some time, and rely on other support that doesn't hurt others. Rela...

I know I haven't failed...it's just in my head, but it haunts me so. I feel like it should be enough to have people tell me I'm a good person. I even had my ex-bf tell me my advice really helped him make an important decision in his life. So why can't I quite pull it together?

I can make it through this week...that's all I need to do. I'll worry about the rest after that. Just this week.
I have far too many thoughts going through my head, so I figure this is as good a place as any to word-vomit (pardon the expression) and hopefully gain some insight, or at least get it all out. I've been in a super negative place for a few days, and that's frustrating me. I found out last night I got an amazing grad on my midterm paper, which I thought sucked because I wrote it just after I got out of the hospital and was changing meds and feeling like crap. I felt really great about myself, ...
