There are a lot of things people over self diagnose without enough knowledge, but depression is pretty easy to diagnose. If you feel depressed and anxious then that is exactly what you have. It's not cliche at all. Like Rep said we're always here to listen if you need it.
You kind of have to learn to let things go as a mod because no one else will lol. It's a visible position and you'll get criticized a lot even for doing what you truly believed was the right thing.
You are doing all you can, whatever happens it isn't your fault. I spent my entire childhood putting the mental health of my mother on my back, I found her post-suicide attempts many times, including coming home from school and walking into a kitchen covered in blood. I was lucky she was never...
I agree it isn't a gift, it's a disorder. Some who have it seem to treat it that way and it annoys me. But I digress. I am pretty high functioning and I don't have nearly as many issues as most Autistic people, but I still struggle with it. Even basic relationship stuff I struggle with to rewire...
To get this back on track, I will make a confession.
I have hid this from everyone except for a few people I trust. I found out a couple years ago and am ashamed to say that I was embarrassed and humiliated when I found out, even though I had no reason to be. I am not even sure if this is a...
Yeah we've had this issue before, this is supposed to be for serious replies and I think it kind of trivializes the serious replies and struggles people have here when we have joke posts. I am not against joke posts in general, but there is a time and place.

Well I am not trying to be celebrated or get pats on the back or anything. Just hoping maybe some people can learn from my experiences. Even if no one does it feels good to get it off my back.
It was mostly emotional (being very controlling, threatening etc). But a few times it did go physical. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about. But the memory of it is powerful motivation for me to never do that again. It's a reminder for me that I always have to keep focused and never let...
I don't know about being a "standard of morality" :P
But even when I was abusive, I didn't want to be. I had/have a lot of psychological issues I have had to tackle and deal with. I always wanted to stop doing it but sometimes it's really hard to. It's hard to change things that have been...
I posted it in the MD but it can work here too:
Idk, I just hope if someone feels down about stuff they have done or whatever, that they can see this and maybe know they can work and change things if they really want to. I know it can feel helpless sometimes, but I think we should judge a...
