Hello there, just some good news. The mood is getting better, I feel like I can breathe. I don't remember who advised me to use this tracking app for my mood, but it's the best I've used so far. Thanks a lot.
Hello there, it's been such a week. I was at the biggest LARP event in Europe, I had to ask for help to the mental health team for a day, but the week itself was good. The mood is getting a bit better. I'm relieved.
Hello there, it's been 2 weeks since my cat died. Right now I'm laying in bed and thinking about how easy it was to resist the urge to take drugs when he was here.
I'm a huge drug addict, and my cat was a big reason to stay sober because I didn't want him to be near drugs or me while high. For his safety. I know you can kill a cat by petting it while on drugs, so I stayed sober.
But now, my cat is gone and all I want is to get high to ease the pain. I know it's a terrible idea, but I don't know how to resist.
What are your reasons to stay sober ?
Hello there,
I saw a psychiatrist from urgent care yesterday. He gave me a new medicine to sedate me a bit and help with the anxiety and dissociation.
I'm from the South West of France, and my place is devastated by wild fire. I had to evacuate my flat, leave my stuff behind. I took my important papers, few clothes and all my vinyl records.
Everything feels blurry. I don't have my cat anymore, I don't even have my flat. All my habits are gone.
I don't have any energy left and I still have to live. It feels unbearable.
Hello there,
My cat died a week ago, and I fear I'm spiraling into a depressive episode. Everything is hard, people keep telling me "time heals" but as the time goes on, it keeps getting harder. I don't even have the energy to shower, eat or do anything else besides going to work and dissociating. I don't know what time it is, what day it is. My next appointment with my psychiatrist is in September, so I called a psychiatrist who works at the urgent care. I'm supposed to see him next Tuesday morning, but I don't know if I have enough energy to fight until Tuesday.
I'm scared, I'm exhausted, everything hurts and I don't know what to do.
Everything costs me energy, but I don't have anymore energy because the pain is too much.
I don't want to die, but I know how much my brain wants me to kill myself.
Today my cat died. I feel awful. I can't stop crying and I feel so empty. I don't know what to do with myself or who I can talk to. That's the worst pain I've felt in a while.

Hello there,
Today I finally re-dyed my hair. I used to have blue, green or purple hair but I dyed it all black and cut it short after a homophobic attack last year.
Dying it makes me more aware of myself, I tend to recognise myself more in the mirror when I have colorful hair.
So I'm pretty happy I had the energy to do so.
Hello there,
My sister got diagnosed with bipolar 2 and she started Lithium today.
I'm diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and I take Abilify but I never had lithium.
Is there anything she should know/be careful of with this medicine?
We're currently suffering from a big heatwave so I already told her to stay hydrated (and her psychiatrist told her too).
I wanna help her feel as good as possible navigating this new life.
Wishing you all the very best.
Hello there !
Happy selfie sunday to everyone :)
​
I've been doing good for the last few months.
My last episode was in December, I left my old job for a new one, where I feel way better. I feel like I've got my life under control. My therapist even agreed to lower my dosage of Abilify from 30mg to 25mg. I'm glad we did it.
​
I wish you all the best.
Hello there, a lot happened and I need to write it down.
My sister got diagnosed with bipolar 2 last week. I'm not surprised but her psychiatrist talked about psycho-traumas and how the abuse we endured because of our parents may have caused our diagnosis.
I've been going to the gym daily for the last 3 weeks because my treatment made me gain a lot of weight. I'm starting to feel better and I actually have fun going.
I've got an appointment with my psychiatrist tomorrow and I wanna ask her to lower my dosage of Abilify because of the weight and the side effects. I'm scared she'll disagree.
I hope you're all doing as good as possible.
