depression and anixety

Stephanie2494, there are a few threads on depression in the BH forums, but I have a feeling that the following might be the thread that Trish_D was looking for. Many beautiful souls have shared their stories on it:

I am bumping this thread up for Stephanie2494.

I wish I could find the thread that would be incredibly helpful but I can’t – maybe some of our beauties who contributed can find it?

Hope you get some help from this, Stephanie. I’m sure our lovely members will be more helpful than I am being at the moment.

Good to hear you are doing well. Keep your support networks and do continue to seek help and look after yourself. Take care

hey everyone, I honestly cant thankyou enough. All your help and advice really helped me the last couple of years. I am now better, than I was. No medication, no negative thoughts. I still have mild anxiety, but not as bad as back when I originally made this post. But from the bottom of my heart I would like to thankyou all! As I’m now appreciating life with the help of my friends and family! I also like to let you know there is hope for everyone, and I’m doing really good! thankyou xo
p.s I actually forgot I wrote this post as I became inactive from this page for a while. Much love to all of you <#

I’m sorry to see that the beauty who first started this thread back in July hasn’t checked in. *kylie Thompson*, I hope you’re doing ok. As for all the responses here…wow! You ladies are so amazing, strong, courageous and loving. I never fail to be blown away by what an incredibly caring community BH is. Love to you all xoxo

That is really concerning.
I hope she’s doing well and is happy and enjoying her life so much so that she just hasn’t had time to check in.
🙁

I can’t really give great advice but what I can say is focus on the positive things. Focus on what keeps you happy and do the things that make you happy, feel beautiful because we are all beautiful. Love the skin your in don’t scar it. And you can always get tattoos or piercings to fill the need to cut.

hey beautiful people of bh,
Ive been suffering with mild social anxiety for the last 3 years now. My consular says its only mild, so i wouldn’t have to take anything for it. With school coming back in the next week or so… There is just so much negative thoughts running through my head. I have friends i guess but my feelings of worthless and judgement makes me believe that everyone hates me to the point where i think that everyone judges me. I have a very negative mind too. Ive had depression from the age of 13, and with society not being the best. I ve suffered from suicidal thoughts, and self harm. So i would love to know if anyone ever experienced social anxiety or any mental health issues? Or has any tips to help beat social anxiety and depression?

❤ This is horrible! But I do know your pain. I’ve had depression since I was 14 I couldn’t go to school and dropped out when we moved out of town because I was too afraid of being left alone. School was so crud for me, I suffered from self harm and still do. I don’t really have anyone to talk to and have actually deleted my Facebook account because of the amount of abuse I was getting. So now I can’t keep in contact with cousins, aunts, uncles or friends in any other country. It’s been close to 4 years since I first started getting abused by these people and they still haven’t stopped. It’s really sad to see because I’ve grown up and moved on but yes I do still self harm because I just feel so alone, but they’re living in the past.

This is a moment when a ‘PM’ function would be good.

Trudy733 there’s a ‘lift esteem’ thread on this forum. Sometimes it gets heavy, so I sometimes lurk without posting. It’s a very supportive environment, as is this site in general. Glad you found your way here.

I don’t have any tips but I too suffer from anxiety and depression, I have been battling this now for 20 years, I was 9 years old when I first tried to commit suicide. I have been in and out of hospital with it. Right now I am trying to stay focused on my children and think positive. Good luck to everyone.
