This is a safe place for more detailed support in mental health, struggles, and successes. Whereas general stress and issues are often discussed in R/R of dailies, this place is for a more focused discussion of the impact of mental health. Members are encouraged to use thoughtfulness and depth to examine feelings, barriers, and useful supports.

This post can be replied to at any time during the month. Not limited to those with a mental health diagnosis, but please be sensitive to others. We will attempt to be as flame free as possible!

Mental Health Diagnosis (if you have been) or What brings you to this thread today?: Depression, anxiety, gloom

Status (WTO/TWW/Benched/TTA): TTA I guess 🤷‍♀️ will we actually? Probably not

How are you feeling? I'm thinking about all the negative things that have occurred recently. It's bumming me out. I again just feel forever stuck in life. Nothing is changing. Gives me "why even bother with anything" vibes. I just feel like I can't share anything with people. I have felt so misunderstood all my life, why would I share my deepest darkest secrets with anyone?

Where are you in your mental health journey? (in treatment, looking for support, on meds, in counseling, having a rough day, etc.) A little bit of everything. I keep going back and forth between believing my meds are working and not working. It's also just been a rough day *sigh*. Well, really the last week or 2 has been rough. I'm having a hard time staying positive

Mental Health Diagnosis (if you have been) or What brings you to this thread today?: Idk if this is what this thread is for....but stress and frustration from dealing with a direct report who is a narcissist (hate to pathologize, but the description fits to a tee).

Status (WTO/TWW/Benched/TTA): TTA/Not TTC yet....but a hormonal wreck at times due to the very real mirena crash.

How are you feeling? This direct report has become increasingly aggressive, manipulative and cruel in our one-on-one meetings and then gaslights me when I call him out. I am working to see if his contract can not be renewed or ended early, but he acts like a perfectly nice person in group meetings and around others. So I seem like the crazy one if I mention small things to others. He literally told me some things did not happen (that I have confirmed with others did actually happen), so it's like he is trying to make me feel and seem crazy.

Where are you in your mental health journey? (in treatment, looking for support, on meds, in counseling, having a rough day, etc.)

Trying to find support from one of my mentors and figure out next steps to bring an end to this. The individual does not receive feedback at all, so talking to them does no good.

How are you feeling? This week was a very heavy and processy week. I learned a lot but I also discovered how important it's going to be over the next few months to find a therapist.

Where are you in your mental health journey? (in treatment, looking for support, on meds, in counseling, having a rough day, etc.) Actively searching for a therapist starting next week. Hopefully I'll find someone by the end of the month.

@inthewoods23 I'm so sorry you're having a hard time staying positive and looking forward to the future. I hope things look up!

@bmo88 I really hope you can find solutions to what's going on soon. That seems like a really difficult situation to be in.
