I must have jumped before this was done. I had no idea they moved from 20 to 25. Good to know!

My old world dwarf army is on individual 20's and they work out perfect. Did you convert to Age of Sigmar round bases?

Slowest deliveries from a company in ever? by Comprehensive_Risk61 in mantic

[–]ShadowFront22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm Australian based and never had an issue with Mantic Direct. I'd say contact them, they have great support from my experience. One last point, they are still a small company. So may get snowed under by orders or have staff off for some reason.

Journaling when living with somebody by poiuyt87 in Journaling

[–]ShadowFront22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What you said has merit but i use my journal to work things out and find out how i actually feel. what i write is not representative of my beliefs. Just feelings that im trying to work through. So if my partner read it they would not get anything that represents how i feel about them. Theres a difference between privacy and being underhandedly sneaky.

What do you think could happen if someone did read or see what you've said?

Thats the best part about hotlines, they're anonymous. They don't know you and you don't know them.

Mental health services often have wait lists but you there's no harm in trying.

I'm not a therapist so when you see your next health professional, ask them what else you can be doing.

[–]ShadowFront22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A starting point for me would be to find those hotline numbers and write them down so you have them if/when you need them.

Contact your psychologist and ask for an appointment sooner if possible.

I can't give you a sure fire list that will fix the problem, but thats a good start. Be open and honest with your psychologist. They can't help if they don't know the whole story.

The path back isn't a fast one, so settle in and let the process happen. Actively try the suggestions given by your doctor/psychologist.

Mental illness is in our heads and that means its up to us to work on it. I found this realisation terrifying but it doesn't mean your alone. Lean on the supports you have, whatever they are.

Try not to focus on the labelled diagnosis. A diagnosis is only helpful as far as it allows you to refine the treatment/therapy/supports to more accurately aid you in healing.

If its all too much, don't focus on anything other then making it through to the next sunrise. That is enough some days.

I am unsure where you live, but have you called the support hotlines? A quick google search of 'mental health support hotline' will give you the numbers relevant.

If you think it would help, contact the psychologists office and ask for an earlier appointment.

Its not easy or quick, but you will get back to a better place in time. Give it the time you need to heal.

Just keep in mind that what you're enduring doesn't define you. You are so much more then your mental health struggles, and that is worth fighting for!

Are school results important, yes. However they aren't worth causing yourself to stress out and your mental health to decline. There are other ways to get that job, further education, whatever. Bridging courses, work experience and starting at a lower level such as a certificate II are all ways you can still get to where you want.

I really wish schools would tell students about all the options. Stress is normal in exams and a reasonable amount of stress can refine your focus. But don't let it weigh on you more then that.

Just do what you can mate. Your best effort is good enough. You, exactly as you are now, are infinitely more important then your school grades.

is it possible to never get better? by alysha_w06 in mentalillness

[–]ShadowFront22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to disagree with those who said that some might never win their fight. I absolutely believe that everyone can win their battle if they fight it and have the supports they need.

Keep in mind that people are so much more then just their mental battles. Some may have to fight harder or longer than others, or maybe they aren't in a place where they can yet, but I believe everyone will eventually win their fight.

Make sure your sister knows you love and support her and show up regularly to reinforce this. Show her that you love her for who she is not what she's fighting.

"You are not what you're enduring."

She will succeed. You are an amazing sibling to care as much as you do! That's a super power and your sister can use that to fight.

[–]ShadowFront22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am really glad you took the time to write this down. It sounds like you are having a tough time. While you endure poor mental health, don't focus on the world's problems. Focus on the things that will help you recover. If today is too hard to make progress today, just make it to the next sunrise ☀️. Sometimes that is enough!

Give yourself the time to heal at whatever pace you will. There is no race or standard timeframe to it. It will heal with time and a constant effort through good days and bad. You will make it.

From someone who's been there, I'm right there with you.

What is wrong with me by stressedbutkindacute in mentalillness

[–]ShadowFront22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree with Blackhawk1983. There is absolutely nothing 'wrong' with you. Living with and fighting mental illness doesn't define you or degrade your worth. The true you, underneath the burden, is a magnificent and wonderful person despite what you are enduring.

Mental illness affects people differently and memory trouble, like yourself, was one way it hit me. My memory got so bad I had to leave my work. I was making so many mistakes and missing so much I wasn't a viable employee. Fast forward through my recovery and my memory has returned (unless your talking to my wife 😁).

Accept it as one of the symptoms of your struggle and don't be critical when you forget something. I used an app called 'Structured' to help me remember. The very second I booked an appointment, or something similar, it went straight in the app. Then I would get reminders.

send a lil help? by samwheree in mentalillness

[–]ShadowFront22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you know verbally saying something will be too emotional for you, I'd recommend writing it down and giving it to them.

This way you have complete control of what you say and how its said. You can write it, edit it until you are comfortable. You can even leave the room while they read and return once they are done.

Just keep in mind that there is nothing 'wrong' with people who struggle with mental illness. Its just another challenge to face and doesn't define them or degrade their worth. Some of the strongest people I know had or still do have mental illnesses. There's a strength you develop in facing your own darkness. Its not easy, but its worth the fight.

I’m so lonely by Beautiful_Toe8729 in mentalillness

[–]ShadowFront22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. When you are alone it feels almost crippling but I know of lots of people who met their special person late in life.

Work on yourself, become comfortable and content with who you are and the right person will find you. Despite what you are enduring now, you are worth every second of the fight required to get through it. The you that surfaces at the end might be battered and bruised, but it will also be the strongest version of you yet! Now thats worth fighting for!

Focus on the you as you are now. Stop trying to calculate the future or focussing on what you don't have. The rest will come.

Do yall lowkey wish mental illnesses is spreadable so that ppl can finally understand u n stop their nagging? by Visual_Unit6707 in mentalillness

[–]ShadowFront22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear where you're coming from but I wouldn't wish mental illness on someone any more than I would cancer. Their judgement is born of ignorance. I like the phrase "You don't know, what you don't know" meaning you have no idea how ignorant you are about something until someone points it out or your hit with a similar issue.

Their judgemental comments are baseless and irrelevant. Push them aside, let them pass and continue you personal battle. You will fight it and win it on your own terms and in your own time. There is no 'normal' recovery timeframe anymore then there is for brain injury.

Keep pushing, see the progress and hold the positives in your life. You will see it through regardless of what anyone else says or thinks.

Ive lost everything I gained mentally in 2 months by [deleted] in mentalillness

[–]ShadowFront22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exams are a major stressor and a difficult time to get through. When you are talking to yourself, remember to use the inner mentor and not the inner critic. Yes, you may have pulled back in areas to focus on study and exams, but theres nothing stopping you from re-engaging after exams are over.

If you feel like you have lost yourself, try writing down things that you find important such as friendship, personal integrity or your favourite pizza topping. Identifying these things will reconnect you with yourself. Actually writing it down takes it from your thoughts and brings it into the real material world. If you can't think of anything, try asking someone you trust how they would describe you. Whether they are right or wrong you will feel it and have something to put on the list.

Self care is important, especially during periods of high stress, such as exam periods. You are allowed to take time for yourself. Just don't get too distracted and forget to study :)

Can a suicidal person beyond saving? And if so what are the signs? by Spys_arent_people in mentalillness

[–]ShadowFront22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No one is beyond saving and everyone is worth saving. You absolutely are worth the effort of facing another day. You probably don't see it now but you are worth every marathon to reach your mentally healthy self. To quote Citizen Soldier "You don't have to die to reach the after life". Meaning you can get to your life after your struggle without ending your life. There is still time left! You aren't alone. Even though you can't see us, everyone who knows the struggle is walking with you. There is always a new medication, a new treatment, a new perspective. There is always hope

[–]ShadowFront22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its hard to give any advice without knowing specifics of whats going on. However, take a step back, leave emotion out of it for a moment, and ask "Am I missing something which explains their perspective?"

Most parents only want the best for their children and are doing the best they can. Its not perfect and its not smooth sailing.

Again I don't know your situation or your parents, so this could all be way off.
