frank 2022its so f***ing complicated man.
my wife is in a field of study where she learns a lot about mental disorders and mental health. She's always had some depression. But in the last 2 years her depression has escalated in really dramatic ways, and the mental health awareness (imo) did way more to exacerbate it than help it. while shes technically now only been diagnosed with mild depression and anxiety, shes also diagnosed herself with many other things.
this past spring she went into a manic state that put her at peak levels of paranoia. She was following and posting in mental health communities on social media literally 24 hours a day, and i wish i was exaggerating. while in this community she convinced herself that she had been raped or sexually abused as a child but had simply repressed it. She had no evidence except for how she felt at that particular time, and what she was reading about this kind of repression.
she started calling family members and point blank accusing them of raping or molesting her when she had no evidence. She called her grandma to accuse an uncle of the same. When i objected to this behavior she accused me of being ignorant and not accepting her condition or whatever. She started becoming hostile and violent towards me. This whole time she had a counselor that she called a therapist (because medicaid doesnt cover anything legitimate) that affirmed her behaviors and how she felt twice a week.
by mid-may she wanted to call the police and get a restraining order against me when i had legitimately done nothing. she was claiming i had abused her mentally, physically, sexually, and financially (???) when i would never think of doing any of these things. she never did take action, but we've been living separate since then. She's gotten better, and is finally getting some legitimate psychiatric help. We've actually been hanging out a lot more and hopefully she'll feel ready to move back in soon.
maybe im too close to this one situation, so i probably shouldnt chime in on a general statement about all of gen z. But ive watched this particular situation play out very close to me, and if its whole communities of people in these social media groups im sure my wife isnt the only one who was negatively affected.
damn i just wrote a whole ass essay.
This is a lot to go through.. I hope she's able to get the legitimate help she needs

I agree
Oct 20, 2020Yall wanna make fun of kids going to bed and waking up late, but as teens, our circadian rhythm is all the way messed up. Normally you wake up and go to sleep with the sun. Teens don't function like that. Our "sleeping clocks" lag a few hours behind so we naturally don't go to bed till like 2 or 3 then wake up at 10 or 11. if you get a full 8 hours. We're also supposed to have a full 8 to 10 hours of sleep and I know I only get about 5 cuz of homework and studying.
It sounds like I'm making excuses but I do agree with OP actually. We're so quick to say everyone has a mental health problem, I'm starting to think some people just want one lol. But some of this stuff we complain needs to be heard. There is no reason high school students should be getting 5 hours of sleep every night.

my bad, just didn’t like people arguing hypotheticals on both sides. the virtue signaling was sickening
Oct 20, 2020Yikes Op.
There’s more to mental health that needs to talked about.

CLB 123sleepin in til 12 isnt self care but labelling it as “laziness” isnt right too. sounds like its part of a bigger issue and they should definitely get that checked up. we got d**** for that.
Nah probs just bad sleeping habits or they have insomnia
Oct 20, 2020Mfs these days base their whole personality around mental disorders

FKA STUFFYeah only constantly lightheaded women would find you attractive. You seem intolerable
loading 🧊Oct 20, 2020i mean i'd rather people be over aware than not. more importantly men should but there's still way too much toxic masculinity prevalent. idk what year we'll be able to see men bring their problems out and get help rather than being tough and bottled up but hopefully soon. i honestly don't want kids if they have to grow up in a world where showing emotion is frowned upon or made fun of. i think kids would have much better relationships with their parents and better lives in general if they were able to be open up about their struggles to them rather than just hide it. then again that would require parents to actually understand and respect mental health which is something our generation can do.
i think majority of us on here lived the early half of our lives without social media so we know how it was to be disconnected and how to disconnect. our kids are gunna be born into it, it'll probably be a staple in their lives and it's only going to make things worse.
this awareness is probably one of the best things to ever happen tbh. you can tell our parents weren't as aware otherwise they'd probably handle things differently with their kids and i know they don't cause if they did i wouldn't be a bunch of my friends' therapist. now we, having lived through it and aware of it are better equipped to help our kids when they go through it. how many of you have ever told your parents you were depressed, worried you're mentally ill, suicidal, or wanted help? not a lot and i'm guessing it's because we're scared. i don't ever want my kids to be scared about that and that "scare" is a result of society s***ting and downplaying mental health.
it should have an even bigger spotlight tbh. we need to find out how to fix our own problems so we can fix our kids problems. parents don't want to pay for therapy but are also too patronizing to be a therapist for their kid so it just keeps the loop going of hiding s***. there's a time to be tough but when being tough turns to burying and masking it only makes this worse.
depression, stress, anxiety, mental health issues all lead to escapism and that's the real problem. escaping leads to vices and vices lead to more problems. rather than hate mental health awareness why not hate the products of mental health?
Oct 20, 2020pusher teeas soon as the kids get a B- in school we diagnose em w ADHD and make em pop the adderall
sleeping in until 12 every day isn't "self care" you lazy c*** :
can you honestly name a girl under 25 that hasn't had some type of eating disorder
I've really met people who think they got whatever the bad guy in that m night shamalyn Split movie had

like "oh yeah sorry this is Timmy he's my aggressive and impulsive personality"how do we fix this
Lmao this op is hilarious

ThizzI keep seeing posts on Instagram about how giving presentations should be voluntary because of people’s stage fright
How they shake and s***
That’s the whole point of doing them. You conquer your fearnah that’s different
sounds like social anxiety to me which is very real and needs to be treated with behavioral therapy- Oct 20, 2020frank 2022
This really is a huge problem, even bigger than how it’s stated in op.
And “real” psychiatric help isn’t even as easy to find as you think. If you go into one of those appts thinking you have mental disorder a or b, a lot of them will just go with it and egg you on to get as much money out of you or your insurance. It’s a real toxic issue in this country.
I think there need to be more professionals, especially affordable ones, that speak honestly about what people are going through. I think a large percentage of mental disorders and issues would be better treated by the patient simply taking responsibility for their actions and trying to become better.
a large percentage lmao. sure. all their problems going to go away now that they're working on it themselves with no additional help. it's okay to ask for help and use medicines available to try to facilitate getting better

ArtyomI don't like to gatekeep mental health but PTSD is frequently misdiagnosed. Most people don't even realize an official PTSD diagnose can only happen 6 months after the traumatic incident (hence post being in the phrase).
Its not always possible to see a mental health professional, but if you really feel you have something going on, seeing somebody is as important as a regular doctor.
Also, plugging genomind. Its a test to determine what antidepressants work with your body. Its a cheek swab and is pretty affordable with payment options. The old way of getting medication was trial and error, this way its as exact as a regular medication. I got onto my current s*** with the test, and it's so far had 0 side effects.
this is interesting I am on antidepressants too

she started calling family members and point blank accusing them of raping or molesting her when she had no evidence. She called her grandma to accuse an uncle of the same. When i objected to this behavior she accused me of being ignorant and not accepting her condition or whatever. She started becoming hostile and violent towards me. This whole time she had a counselor that she called a therapist (because medicaid doesnt cover anything legitimate) that affirmed her behaviors and how she felt twice a week.
by mid-may she wanted to call the police and get a restraining order against me when i had legitimately done nothing. she was claiming i had abused her mentally, physically, sexually, and financially (???) when i would never think of doing any of these things. she never did take action, but we've been living separate since then.

What he’s saying is the truth. Bozos lived your entire life being considered normal then all of a sudden you hit your adult years and now you’re bipolar with schizophrenia F*** OUTTA HERE
The truth is niggas like self diagnosing themself with mental illnesses so they don’t have to take blame for their behavior. That way it’s easier to say “I have so and so and that’s why I act like this” and to not be held accountable for their actions. f*** outta here goofy you just don’t want to be held accountable for the way you act.

No offense but your wife is dangerous and so is every womanlike her. You need to check her. She really sat there and convinced herself she was raped when she was younger. That’s how guys get their life ruined for no reason
