Mental Health Support Society XVI

Yeah I think I'll have a go at it over summer, just ran off a few pages now and realised how much of the system I have problems with. I might need to split it up into a few different points because I realised a huge part is the university relying on people who are struggling to say something. That is impossible for some people so for them the support systems effectively don't even exist because clearly if you don't say anything then everyone should just assume you're fine.

nothing is holding my attention today. none of the games I would usually enjoy are fun, I don't feel like watching any films that would usually cheer me up, I can't focus on reading anything

Oh right okay. Sorry if this is a stupid question to ask but.. if someone were to 'trigger warn' me would it mean that we should conclude the conversation?

Not even sleep can help?

In general, if people are talking about food or abuse or something that could be otherwise upsetting/triggering to other people they will put what they're saying in a spoiler and add a trigger warning (or tw) on the top, for example

TW abuse


So it's not so much that someone will warn you for being triggering, although this will sometimes happen and either you'd be expected to edit a post or a mod will do it for you, more that you do it to help keep other people safe. On a similar note it is against the rules for people to talk about self harm or suicide, to protect themselves if someone were to respond inappropriately and other people from being triggered.

Sorry for the ramble, hope that helps a bit!

Sorry didnt see this! Silly TSR app for not showing up whos quoted who! :fuhrer:

Looks like furry has already answered your question, sorry i didnt explain it well, its not a warning to you, though someone may ask you to spoiler something, such as if you mentioned maybe someone hit you say a family member, it may get asked to be spoilered as there may be domestic abuse victims here which may see that and it may trigger them into a flash back or something.

But thats not a warning thats just a polite reminder to look out for others as we are all vulnrable to certain things.

Thanks so much for the replies guys, was reading them while waiting at the doc's.

I'm not in hospital! Got a med change and made a promise that I'll go to the ER if I'm unsafe. Love my wife so much, she spoke up and got me out of the worst which is awesome - though she told me that I better not make her regret it. I feel like that's a lot of pressure but hopefully the med change makes things easier. Really hoping I don't put all the weight I've worked hard to lose back on. :/

Thanks guys.

That's great news! So happy to hear it! (I'll still light my candle though.)

Thank you.



Have you quit the abilify entirely? Stopping antipsychotics suddenly can sometimes make you feel spaced out so that might explain it.

Hello. 4:10 and I'm awake.

Hi, been awake for the last hour!

Did you nap/go to sleep early and wake up then?

Fell asleep around 10ish. I did nap for 2 hours in the afternoon, only cause the previous night I had woken up early too. And I even took a sleeping tablet.

Hmm my sleeping pattern is dodgy too-probably cos of the meds. I do try to tell people but they don't listen!! On that note I should probably try to sleep, good night
