Hi! I'm (18M) currently heavily depressed and some other things all of which are undiagnosed. I don't have any support as my parents have a stigmatised view on mental health. I haven't been exercising as much as I would like to.

I would deeply appreciate some advice on how I can get back to exercising and to my routine to try and treat my depression. Any advice or support would mean the world to me.

Thank you and I hope you have a beautiful day!!

Hi! So I'm thinking of growing my hair out. My hair type is straight and slightly wavy and thick black hair. I want to grow it like Tom Cruise in the latest Mission Impossible movie. Does anyone know how I can achieve this type of style and length and how do I maintain it. I tend to not use products apart from hair oil which is occasional. I also use shampoo and conditioner.

TIA and I hope you have a beautiful day!!

Hi Dad, I know this is cliche but my Dad never taught me how to shave. I currently shave with a dry shaver but I always wanted to wet shave. I'm scared of cutting my skin like a potato peeler. So if you could like teach or explain to me how to shave, it would mean the world to me.

Thanks Dad. I love you and I hope you have a beautiful day.

Life is awful for me. My mental health is spiralling out of control. My depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts are overwhelming. I can't focus properly. I barely sleep. I barely eat. I feel I might fail my A Levels. I'm forced to study a subject in Uni for 4 -5 years that I don't want to do and might fail. My Dad has 2 cancers. He's already planning in the events of his death. He's more angry and rude now. My Mum is ill. She's also angry at me. My little brother hates me and rather be on his Xbox with his school friends. No-one understands me. I always make things worse. I'm a burden to everyone. My family and even the ONE person I call my best friend probably hates me. They probably feel sorry for me. I'm so lonely at school and life. I have no meaning or purpose. People just bully and ignore me. My life is meaningless. No-one cares about me. All I'm looking forward to is asking my crush out to prom but she'll probably reject me. Everyone in my life has given up on me. My world's better off without me. I hate myself so much. I hate my life so much. I'm just an unnecessary burden.

I don't know what to do

Hi everyone or do I say Hi Dad? Or Hi Father? Well this is to everyone I guess! You all are welcome in this discussion! I hope you are doing good.

Lots of things have happened so far to me. I found out my father has 2 cancers. My mother is ill. My little brother hates me. I got reported in school for thinking I was kind but instead am being called a creep when there are actual creeps who get away with their crimes. Students are spreading false rumours about me. Destroying my name.

Father, I feel I'm having a existential crisis or am losing my mind day by day. I'm so alone. I'm tired. Depressed. Anxious. Self-loathing. I don't know what to do. I'm know I'm not in the right headspace mentally but I have to keep masking. I'm praying that this melancholy leaves me.

Father, I'm need advice on what I should do and how should I stop myself from listening to my intrusive thoughts and acting on my dark thoughts. I don't know what to believe and who to trust. What is real and what is just me overthinking. I just feel like an unnecessary burden. I admit. I am stupid to think I could be kind. All I ever got was hate and violence. Thank you. I hope you have a beautiful day.

I consider myself to be a kind person who cares a lot about people. I always make it a habit of saying ’Good Morning’ or ‘Good Afternoon’ as well as complimenting students I know and don’t know in my school. I just want to be kind and make someone’s day because you really don’t know what another person is going through. It makes my day to make someone smile.

Well basically my Pastoral Manager spoke with me privately and said that one girl and her friend reported me and asked if I could recall the ‘incident’. I always am friendly to lots of people so I said I can’t know for sure who or when this was as I do this on a daily basis.

He then explained that the students who reported me said that I complimented them which made them feel “uncomfortable“. I honestly never meant for anyone to be uncomfortable or upset in any way whatsoever. I just want to spread love and kindness to people. That’s just how I am as a person.

My Pastoral Manager explained I’m not in trouble but that I should be mindful as in this day and age you have to be careful with what you say. I feel awful and upset that I can’t even do any good without getting accused and blamed.

Edit: Sorry I'm from the UK so I should clarify what a Pastoral Manager is as there seems to be confusion. A Pastoral Manager in the UK is basically a school staff member responsible for overseeing the emotional, social, and behavioural welfare of students.

I came home from school and found out my Dad has cancer stage III. I’m depressed and lonely. I also have anxiety and might have ADHD all of which are undiagnosed so I can’t confirm. My parents won’t allow me to get a diagnosis and they stopped me from getting an ADHD one. The other issues I mask so well which has been for years. I honestly don’t know what to do. I apologise for the ramble.

Thank you and I hope whoever is reading this has a beautiful day and is doing well.

Hi I struggle with mental health issues which are undiagnosed as my parents won't allow. I struggle with depressive episodes, anxiety and I think ADHD all of which I mask. I wanted to ask how can I try and focus properly as it is something I struggle with to a great extent. I have an exam coming up for my A-Levels so any help would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you and I hope you have a beautiful day!!
