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.

    Medication and structured support, with support from colleagues.

    This is very difficult, particularly when there are issues with mental health. I seem to suddenly become hypercritical rather than kind - a perspective that is the reverse of how I view others. People keep telling me I should be kinder to myself, but I seem quite oblivious to how to do that. The answers of others on this thread regarding this question is illuminating.

    This is a difficult process for me, as I feel many emotions intensely and for a long time, and one that I am starting.
