I’m 22, but live with my parents due to SPMI (severe persistent mental illness). I basically live in and out of mental hospitals, and I have 7+ diagnoses (3 of which are trauma induced), including 15+ s*icide attempts. I’ve seen over 100 psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, therapists, nurses, etc by now, pretty much all of which have called out toxic behavior from my parents. My mom fully believes they are all wrong and that I was raised completely fine and experienced zero abuse or trauma. At the same time, they have the utmost respect for my sister and always take her side no matter what, always have. I’m at a loss. I’m so close to getting sent to a group home from my psych team. There’s no repairing this.

I want to lose weight. I started at 189lbs early June and now I’m 180lbs (I’m also 5’3). I started at eating around 1500cals then down to 1200lbs and now I’ve cut myself down to 900 a day. I want to be 165lbs by September 1st. If I stick to the 900lbs a day will I make it in time?

Why do I suddenly get scared around people I know? Like I’ve known this one lady in my life for a couple months and really enjoy her company but suddenly I think she’s secretly evil and it brings a lot of stress?? This happens with other people too. I feel like there’s some bad intention behind them but they haven’t done anything to make me think that nor do I have any true evidence.

I did a full course (6) of bilateral ECT treatment October of 2025. They deemed it ineffective although I disagree. I asked to try again and they said the inpatient team wasn’t in agreement because I’d have to be inpatient to do another course. That was 3 months ago. Is it worth trying again??

I am 5’3 and 184lbs, I started June 3rd and started at 189lbs. My goal weight is 170lbs and I want to get there by August 1st. My TDEE is 2445 calories a day and I’ve been eating about 1200 calories a day total. I burn about 100-150 calories in exercise daily. Is it possible to get to my goal weight by end of July/early August? If not what else can I do?

I (22F) live with my parents due to my significant mental illnesses (bipolar, SI, and ED). My aunt, uncle, and cousins live in our guest house and have for years, we are all very close. My oldest cousin (also 22F) has profound autism. She has explosive behaviors, yells a lot, gets messy with food and sometimes in the bathroom iykyk and self injures. Tbh I’m tired of dealing with it and I’m so over it. I know she cannot comprehend this, but sometimes I want to break one of her toys after she ruins something of mine. I’m so over the house smelling, or hearing loud noises when I’m trying to calm myself down.

My daughter (5F) keeps copying one of her friends. I work with kids and I haven’t seen this to this level. She’s obsessed with this girl in her class, I’ll call her Maya. If she hears Maya singing a song, it’s suddenly her favorite song. She saw Maya’s water bottle and begged for the exact same one. She insists on wearing the same clothes as her, and even copying Maya’s mannerisms down to the way she talks and walks. It’s kind of worrying me.

I can’t stand my therapist. I’m court ordered to do DBT and I f*cking hate it. I can’t stand talking to them, my therapist literally puts words in my mouth. I know it sounds like I’m just not open to therapy and I am, but NOT DBT. She keeps saying “I’m not dedicated to group” like yeah obviously? I’m forced to be here?

Need to get this out of the way. I have no interest in DBT, don’t want to do it either. Just need to complete a program.

My 5 year old niece is incredibly whiny and has no manners. Always demanding things, smacking lips while eating/chews with her mouth open. She never says please or thank you WITH prompting. She can’t do anything for herself (take her shoes off, wipe her own hands, get anything for herself, walk from the car to the house which is MAYBE 10 feet). I work with kids as young as 3 and some of them seem way more independent but I’m only a camp counselor so idk what to expect.

So I (22F) am very close with my sister(30F) and my niece (5F). For context, my whole life our mom always takes my sister’s side no matter what. Anyways my sister always caves into whatever my niece wants. She’s 5 and still not fully potty trained, my sister and Mom swear up and down she’s potty trained, but she still has to poop in a diaper anytime she has to poop. She has to be carried everywhere, my sister tells her to walk but she whines and my sister picks her back up, you get the point. Anytime I say anything about that my sister and mom get pissy saying my sister has so much on her plate but she literally has 1 child and works a regular 8 hour job. And my sister blames my nieces behavior/getting her way because her parents got divorced. However, that’s not an excuse to have no backbone with your child. I love my niece dearly and always will but she is getting to be such a spoiled brat and it’s not all her fault. My sister blew up at me yesterday because my niece was hanging on me and I told her to stop and my sister said “stop being mean to her” when in reality I’m setting some pretty generic boundaries. Anyways I’m not talking to her and my mom is mad at me now saying “parenting is hard and you have no clue”. I’m so pissed.

I’m in an eating disorder facility (as a patient) and a lot of the other patients here have BPD (I do not). I’m sorry but they are so annoying, like I cannot stand it. The self harming is so performative. They’ll go out of their way to SH where everyone can see and to get staff attention. They try to make everything a competition so they can be the “worst off”. Every time I’m really struggling at the table and I’m getting help from the staff they do something so the attention is back on them. It’s awful and it’s genuinely impacting my treatment now. I’m just over it.
