Questions

Chris

Whats the most beneficial support that people (you) have received for their mental health? 

I have no idea what will help me recover and i have done alot of research, i am scared that even support from the CMHT will not help.

What self compassion do people (you) say to themselves to help with self-esteem?

I find self compassion very hard as i hate myself so much that it feels hard to positively talk to myself and i have no clue what to tell myself.

Has anyone actually started to identify their own emotions within themselves, and has this helped with regulating emotions or helps with not suppressing emotions?

i have started to identify my emotions to myself which is very tricky as i keep thinking every emotions i have is anxiety for even being overwhelmed all the time leads me to know not having a clue what emotion i am feeling, i have been making a mood journey wih a mood meter to try and help myself learn my emotions.

  • Whats the most beneficial support that people have received for their mental health?

    Hardly any to be honest. Almost feels like support for mental health doesn't even exist at times. I have support, apparently, but they're very unhelpful and often make me feel worse. For instance when I was diagnosed with breast cancer my team said it would give me something else to think about other than my mental health. Not exactly helpful. Rather than finding what's actually up with my mental health they think it's just autism. So frustrating.

    What self compassion do people say to themselves to help with self-esteem?

    I struggle with this, but I do try because apparently it is meant to be good for you. Sometimes I'll say things like well done you did great today and that can make me feel a little better. But generally I don't have anything nice to say to myself.

    Has anyone actually started to identify their own emotions within themselves, and has this helped with regulating emotions or helps with not suppressing emotions?

    Nope. I've no idea how to identify any emotions, don't get it at all.
