    I have been starting to develop a certain thinking. Anything I create will be cringe because I'm a teenager and (haha!) teenagers are "cringe" and by cringe I mean regretting something I say years later... it's probably why I'm so scared to touch my creations, I don't know.

    I just love talking and I don't have many people to talk to in my day to day life... nor (despite my massage of communication is everything) talk even to my parents much, and if I do it's mostly about general stuff and things we agree on (not that really is anything we disagree on just I don't speak about how I'm feeling on a day to day personal level.. I don't really ever do that) The only emotions I express are impatience, sarcasm, joy, sadness, anger the most basic stuff. The ones I don't are... well personal. Is this a flaw on my part? Should I not want validation on every thought that pops on my head? But I want that. I want to rant and hear the replies and comments... does the problem stem from that my parent's are both introverts? Is the extrovert-introvert personality traits even reliable?! Let's say for simplicity's sake, yes.

    Another thing maybe it's because I recover from emotions so fast I tend to remember my story ideas from when I had that emotion as "oh, I don't have that emotion anymore so I won't be able to create an authentic story of those emotions." sooo... do I have a problem? Why do I crave feedback? Is it from my time when I used AI?

    Coming from someone who is now almost 22 who was on this website at 17. It’s not wrong to seek validation for the things you write, and this website is (or at least was from my memory) great for that. Many supportive people are on here. Introvert and extrovert do typically work, but it’s more of a slider than one or the other, and you’ll find your people. I truly hope you find them. I don’t regret what I wrote on here years later, I’m sure you won’t :)

    Hi guys I'm looking for advice here. TW su!c!d3
    So I have a girlfriend, and for a little backround, we both are struggling with our mental health and we're both in the process of getting adhd/autism diagnosis' and stuff, and neither of us are probably in the right situation to be in a relationship but yeah. We have really open conversations about everything and we can talk to each other which I am so grateful for because I've never had that before.

    My girlfriend always calls me or texts me if shes not feeling well. And I often stay up late to try and comfort her,
    but these last two months or so its gotten worse

    TW!!
    she has attempted a few times lately, and I'm really worried, and I don't know what to do. I know I probably should tell an adult or something. And I will if it's really bad. But anytime I say I'm gonna wake my mom, she says she'll never talk to me again if I do. And I don't want to break our trust unless it's absolutely necessary.

    I will also say that she is in the system for mental health and stuff and she is going to get help for other stuff soon. And her parents know shes struggling.

    if anyone knows what I should do next time she calls me about this, or in general, I'd really appreciate it

    Well, personally if I were in this situation I would maybe leave the relationship if it was causing more distress and overall stress. Of course I would keep on contact with them if they still wanted that relationship and overall I would hope we both find ways to make us both find the joys on life and strength each other. Even if one person does that it helps, I'm sure it does. I personally have no experience with anything similar to this.

    Hi, I missed this post somehow. Want to say that 1) I am AuDHD as well so I completely understand how navigating that can be difficult, especially while in a relationship. I am going to be honest. It is already bad enough. I know it’s difficult, but telling an adult is the right thing to do at this point. It is better for her to no longer trust you but be alive than for her to trust you and keep causing pain to herself and you.

    You are not equipped or trained to handle this type of situation. I know you care about her, and it’s very valiant and sweet that you want to help. The best way you can do that at this point though is by telling an adult. Nobody can fix someone else’s mental health for them. As much as it is painful to hear, it has to be an internal thing (along with seeking health from professionals and medication, of course.) It is possible that medication or a therapist or any number of things could significantly improve life for her but there is no way to know without an adult becoming involved. It will feel like breaking her trust, but sometimes, loving someone means they’re going to be angry at you. Do it anyway. It’s a big difference between people knowing she’s struggling vs. people knowing that she has attempted. She needs help that you cannot give her.

    If you need any help or someone to talk to, I’m here and my PMs are always open!

    Hi! I talked to her parents (not because of this post dw) and I think her parents kinda didn’t really care, but it’s all good now

    I need some advice, the girl I’m talking to is usally really happy but recently she been really down, she isn’t sleeping well, she either doesn’t eat or she eats too much. And I also struggle with bad mental health but I want to help her, I just don’t know how. I’ve tried talking to her but she doesn’t want help. Idk how to help someone who won’t except it. I also don’t want to be pushy, I’m just worried about her.

    winterwolf0100 replied · Jul 10, 2026

    I completely understand this situation. It’s difficult to help people who don’t want to accept it. Currently, you can make sure you’re always a safe person to talk to for her and try to be supportive how you can. Remember you can’t fix her problems for her, however lovely that would be. If there’s someone who might have more sway over her you could contact, you could also let them know your concerns. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this <33

    After getting through the worst of su!c!d@! thoughts, SH, and depression, I noticed something. I’m really self aware. My mind is so much harsher on me than others, like the devil itself is whispering and manipulating my emotions.
    I got offered to walk to somewhere to eat today for lunch with my friends, but I said no. Why? I don’t know. Until after.
    I realized that I absolutely LOVE being alone. Sitting on the bench, the sun hitting my face at just the right angle, swinging my legs and eating alone, I felt something I couldn’t for such a long time; Peace. Peace without may judgement, or comparisons, or pressure, or drama. Just purely peace and quiet. And I started to appreciate this life. Even though it is the same one that tortured me, this life also taught me to be stronger. If i didn’t go through all that, I couldn’t have gotten more happiness then before my mental health went down.
    I’m not saying I hate people; my mind just pressures all the comparisons and hate when I’m with them. I feel like I need to constantly prove myself. But without them, I feel so happy.
    So yes. It gets better. And once it does, you’re stronger than before. Yes, I still do spiral into negativity and depression late at night sometimes, but it always passes. Keep going <3333

    I don't know if this is the right place to talk about it, but it's so lonely living with some of the evil mental illness. Yeah, all of the media about you depicts you as a murderer or an abuser. Yes, you will internalize it because of your mental illness. No, you will never escape it. I hate that mental health advocacy has a limit. I'm too ugly for the majority of advocates.

    I am. fighting it hard tonight because my instinct in middle school whenever anything went SLIGHTLY wrong was to go "I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself--"
