not convinced i have false memories

@Yasmin123456 Same here, even though my mind has latched on to a real memory minor and stupid and created into false scary and dangerous memory and on some days (yesterday and the day before) has convinced me that I’m dreaming or nothing is real (creating false parallel reality complete with visions and telling my family is lying to me) it was particularly bad yesterday

@Yasmin123456 I’m 22 next Thursday

@Yasmin123456 I had my distraction this morning (kind of) now I have another job interview (which already doesn’t help my anxiety levels but this one is complicated)

@Yasmin123456 At least my birthday is coming up I can distract myself with that, also trying to find work to help with distract me too

@Yasmin123456 I’m also trying to change my health to see if that helps improve my mind. Even though it was impossible the previous two days I’m trying to implement a sleep schedule (as I know I struggle with sleep which I contributes) as well as working on diet and exercise

@Yasmin123456 Yeah

@Yasmin123456 I have been told that a lot

@Yasmin123456 Was feeling like I was alone as I have emotionally distant parents who don’t take this stuff seriously but this community has been a big help wish I could get proper therapy

@Yasmin123456 I had stopped taking hormonal birth control (unintentionally cold turkey due a bout of mysterious illness that turned out to be food poisoning)as this was one biggest cause of my mental health issues ,as well as sleep,and started taking vitamins instead

@Yasmin123456 Did your parents yell or get mad when you would cry,that was mine

@Yasmin123456 Mine happened more when I was on it, still is happening whilst I’m off and while my hormones settle

@Yasmin123456 My parents act like you can only be a small child or baby to cry

@Yasmin123456 But yeah you’re right they do care

@Yasmin123456 Oh that’s ironic I have been taking serotonin supplements

@Yasminnn I live in the UK

@Yasminnn I also take a pre-menstrual supplement and similar one for sleep that contains a magnesium and other kinds of vitamins

@Yasminnn As well as the serotonin as I ween myself of birth control (this process is long and sometimes tough)

@Yasminnn Need to get back into walking, but can’t really do shopping as I’m not employed so it would be my parents money (which as I’m getting older they don’t always like me spending)

@Yasminnn I don’t have many friends but my best friend is great person to talk to as she also experiences mental health issues (also loverly that our birthdays are in a similar time frame) Wish I could get her on here too

@Yasminnn It’s very cold and gets dark earlier here at the moment (which also doesn’t help my mental health when I went to visit family in the states lot happier)

@Yasminnn Out of all of that walking would probably be the best option for me

@Yasminnn I felt like over thanksgiving (particularly on thanksgiving itself) I blacked out and was not in control and felt like I was in this dream like state

@Yasminnn Nothing felt real(not even simple conversation felt like a blur and was struggling to answer the simplest of questions)and my mind constantly telling me I’m dreaming it’s not real

@Yasminnn Sorry even the not not even

@Yasminnn It was horrible particularly on a day like thanksgiving where you are supposed to celebrating

@Yasminnn Felt like I couldn’t breathe

@Yasminnn Oh wow 😮

@Yasminnn I’m hoping that if I do what say there will be sense of relief and I can start thinking clearly again

@Yasminnn I get nervous twitches too, which are much prevalent when im excitable rather than nervous (even though they can occur when I’m nervous which more so when a certain parent of mine starts yelling and screaming like a toddler) which doesn’t help when your relatives praise you a lot or you are talking about topic you really enjoy

@Yasminnn When I looked online before it says it can take between 4 to 6 months for hormones to settle which I’m like great 🙄

@Yasminnn Glad it’s not just me, I like having people to talk to
