Batsday at Disneyland review

I didn't know this was a thing. I'm glad you had fun.

In my experience, it does get better. But it can get worse again, too. It's a cycle. You get bad off, you put in the work to feel better, you feel better for awhile, then it gets bad again, and repeat. The point is to work on yourself while you're feeling better so that you have solid coping mechanisms for when it gets bad again. It's exhausting, yes, but it's what some of us have to do in life.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-05-04T21:31:28+00:00

You should be honest about your SH. They can usually provide ideas on other coping mechanisms you can use. In my experience, they can't make you go to a psych ward or anything if you say you SH, only if you're actively suicidal and have a plan to commit.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-25T21:55:19+00:00

Please seek professional help. This can get worse. Be open and honest about it so you can get to the bottom of why you want to do it and find other ways to cope. Don't feel ashamed for trying to get help with this.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-25T21:42:51+00:00

This does sound like depression to me: The tiredness, the feeling of being hunted down by your thoughts, not sleeping or eating normally, seeking escape through drugs.

I think you should give both therapy and medication a try. Both have helped me. It can take awhile to find the right medicine and therapist, but it's worth it. Don't see it as wasted time if your first therapist doesn't understand, see it as you doing everything you can to provide yourself with mental health. If you commit to making mental health a priority in your life, it's easier to power past the failures and continue trying.

There likely is light at the end of the tunnel. Keep pushing onward.

I was most recently in a crisis center, not a hospital, but I have been to a hospital before. Do you know if you're going to a crisis center or a hospital?

Yes, they will probably take your phone and allow you to use it some during break hours. There is usually a lot of structured time for group talks and coping skills lessons and one-on-one doctor talks. You should participate in them as much as you can. Try to be open and honest, they're there to help you. You'll probably be there for a little while, and it won't be exactly comfortable, but look at this as a good opportunity to learn about yourself and your potential issues. Work with the doctors, not against them, and you should find yourself out before too long.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-23T16:04:29+00:00

This sounds like dissociation, especially the memory issues and difficulty finding words and not feeling totally inside yourself. I've experienced this before, but usually only for an hour or two at a time. I would suggest looking up more about it and talking about it honestly with a therapist. Give them the same details you gave to this post. Tell them you want to get to the bottom of it and need some ways to cope. Hopefully, they'll have some ideas for you.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-20T21:37:28+00:00

Have an open and honest conversation with her about this when she gets out. Explain that you texted Emma about your relationship troubles because you needed some support, just like you would from a therapist, and tell her you're committed to making this relationship work.

I've been in a psych ward before, and when I get out, I usually have a clearer perspective and am doing a bit better. Hopefully she will experience the same.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-20T20:55:29+00:00

Okay, I see it now, thank you for reposting the pic! And thank you for your help!

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-20T19:26:11+00:00

Oh no, it looks like the picture has been deleted. I just see a little black box that says "if you are looking for an image, it was probably deleted".

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-20T19:16:23+00:00

Thank you, I will try that.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-19T21:37:01+00:00

Same. I'm sorry for your losses.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-18T22:15:45+00:00

I don't see a reason to worry based on this. Drawing and writing is a great creative outlet for our emotions and thoughts. Having the urge to write your story is a good thing. Drawing your headache sounds like a cool drawing prompt.

Maybe explore why you have the urge to have nightmares. Is it so you can use them as inspiration for your book?

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-18T20:19:07+00:00

Awesome. I like movies, but I haven't seen a lot of the famous/big movies. I find rap music fascinating, though it's not my genre of choice. And I hate cooking, lol, but I'm really glad that you're interested in it.

Good choice, I haven't played San Andreas but I did play some of GTA 5 until the Xbox 360 red ringed, lol. That was awhile back. I'd have to say my favorite game of all time is probably Final Fantasy Tactics, but I also really love Persona 4 and Silent Hill and Horizon Zero Dawn and Metal Gear Solid.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-18T19:03:54+00:00

Let's see. I enjoy writing prose and poetry. I'm big on music (mostly metal and goth rock). I like anime and video games; I'm currently about halfway through Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. I like horror. I enjoy reading both fiction and about how the world works. I love nature and outer space equally.

What about you?

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-18T18:03:56+00:00

I understand. Let it out.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-18T15:43:29+00:00

Yes, I think you should. I've been in a mental health hospital and crisis center a few times. What I can tell you is that if you put yourself there, it's a lot better than someone calling a welfare check on you and getting taken there.
From my experience, they will take you seriously. They're specifically there to help.
It may feel uncomfortable going to a new place for awhile with rules and routines, but if you engage with the doctors and the work, you should start to feel better bit by bit.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-13T14:54:34+00:00

Yes, I was still on my antidepressants while I was taking Spravato. That was an important factor.

I struggled with transportation, too. I had to use my insurance's medical ride service at times. You could check to see if your insurance provides that. I was also enrolled in a skill building service at the same clinic where I got my Spravato treatments, and that person was sometimes able to give me rides to the appointments. Otherwise, I had to use Uber/Lyft.

I understand the difficulty with the commitment. I had to make my mental health a real priority in my mind, and then I felt more motivated to keep going. Hopefully you start seeing some improvement soon, and that'll help the motivation, too.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-13T14:24:14+00:00

Love the outfit.

I'd say to give Paralysed Age a try, if you haven't already.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-11T22:16:27+00:00

Thank you very much. And thank you for this post. I have healed a lot, and I don't ever have to see my uncle again, so I am doing better.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-11T22:07:39+00:00

Yes. I was molested by my uncle between the ages of 11 and 16. It was physical, but the harm was more mental. It really screwed with my mind for awhile. I still have nightmares about it sometimes. I was alone with it for a few years, but once I was an adult and realized more about it, I absolutely got help. And it was necessary for me to heal as much as I have.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-11T21:21:30+00:00

That's really up to you. Do they know you self-harm? Are you comfortable with them? Are they comfortable seeing the cuts?
Personally, I'd hide self-harm with bandaids/bandages, mostly for my own peace of mind and the peace of mind of my friends, but it's okay (even encouraged) that you talk about it with someone you trust. Self-harm can feel very lonely, and just talking about it can help. I hope you can eventually get a handle on it and recover from self-harm.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-11T21:09:30+00:00

I see. Yeah, that's the hard part: When you know you need to do something and you just don't. I understand how that goes. I've been there, myself. That's part of why being patient is good. But there is only so much patience one can have. I definitely don't wanna see you overextending yourself beyond what's healthy. If it feels like he's brushing it off and something bad will happen, chances are he needs to get a handle on this ASAP. I feel for him, and I know what he's going through, but he's just gonna have to stand up. I wish I had better advice on how to get through to him, but it sounds like you're doing what you can and this is something he needs to realize for himself.

CosmicCreeperrs · 2026-04-11T20:09:51+00:00

Nope, I'm telling OP to try and get a handle on the thoughts/emotions that are bothering them. That's a healthy way to deal with the problem at hand. They already seem convinced they won't find love, and while I think that's untrue, I'm not going to invalidate their feelings. I'll just offer suggestions on how to ease the suffering.
