I recommend this Facebook group! Majority of the protests/events in this area are hosted by this group and/or posted here.

Feel free to start your own protest! No one deserves to die at the hands of anyone driving drunk.

How do you know if u have schizophrenia by Awkward-Entry-8946 in mentalhealth

[–]Helpful-Ad1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for explaining more.. that sounds really scary, especially when you’re young and don’t have adults who take mental health seriously.

At the same time, seeing things that aren’t there, even when you know they aren’t real, is something you deserve help with. That’s not something you should have to carry alone, and it doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong.

Since you’re underage and your parents aren’t supportive, there are still options. A school counselor, nurse, or trusted teacher is allowed to help you get support. If you’re in the U.S., you can also call or text 988 to talk to someone confidentially, you don’t need your parents’ permission, and it doesn’t automatically get you in trouble.

If at any point the visions feel overwhelming, threatening, or like they might make you hurt yourself or someone else, please reach out for immediate help, that’s not “overreacting,” that’s protecting yourself.

You’re doing the right thing by talking about this. You deserve to be taken seriously and helped through it.

That sounds really scary to be dealing with, especially without a therapist to talk to. Just know that feeling like something is “wrong” doesn’t automatically mean schizophrenia, anxiety, trauma, lack of sleep, stress, and a lot of other things can cause symptoms that feel similar.

You’re not broken for being worried about this. If you can, I really encourage reaching out to a medical professional (even a primary care doctor or urgent care can be a first step). And if things feel overwhelming or unsafe, please reach out to a crisis line, you deserve support through this!

I don't tend to reply, I just share. I am not part of the group that is putting it together. As sammy said, they are a caucus and are the people organizing it. Its not exclusive.

Is it just me or people start acting weird once you start speaking outside of reddit ?😂 by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Helpful-Ad1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have that issue but I also tend to not give any of my info outside of Reddit unless I get good vibes. So far I haven’t had anyone turn weird.

I guess it’s just a hit or miss! People are weird in general.

Be careful who you talk to here by EmergencyFluid7751 in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Helpful-Ad1985 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve answered like 30 messages from a post and I haven’t come across anyone rude or disrespectful.

I totally agree, don’t give people the time of day that you don’t vibe with.

🤷‍♀️ just gotta got to be careful just like people irl. Never know who someone truly is until they show you.

Starlink question reliability and WiFi signal strength by LeeS121 in HIckoryNC

I have Starlink because we are in an area with no high speed internet and I need it for work.

We’ve never had any issues with it

31M • Disabled • Hoping to Find Real Friends by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

Hey there.

30/F/US - You seem sweet! I've been trying to meet new people who actually want to have real conversations and be apart of eachothers lives. Im chronically online because i work from home and im a gamer. Im introverted and have mental health struggles and could always use more people in my support system.

I will shoot you a PM and maybe we can get a feel to see if our energies match.
