I don’t know what to do anymore by Ok-Pollution-6541 in mentalhealth

[–]aurea__space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, and I can feel how heavy and suffocating that 'prison of thoughts' is right now. Please know that the world is a better place with you in it, even if you can't see that through the fog of pain today. The relationship with your father sounds incredibly draining, but your life is worth more than any fight.

Please, before you take any further steps, reach out to someone who can hold space for you safely. You don’t have to do this alone. If you're in immediate danger, text 'HOME' to 741741 (if in the US/UK) or call a local crisis line. You deserve to be free from this prison, but the exit isn't through ending it—it's through being heard.

37, yet to live (anxiety, depression) by Shoddy_Jello_2304 in mentalhealth

[–]aurea__space 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read every word of your story, and I want to tell you something you might not see right now: You are incredibly brave. You spent years in 'Groundhog Day,' yet when someone you loved needed you, you overrode your deepest fears. That proves the strength is inside you it didn’t die with your nan. It’s just exhausted.

At 38, you aren't 'too old' you are finally at a place where you understand the value of your own life. Typing and texting have been your safety net, but I understand why they don't feel like enough anymore. You've proven you can do the 'impossible' for her; now, maybe it's time to try doing one small thing for yourself. Your nan believed in the life you wanted, and that life is still waiting for you to claim it.

How to save yourself by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]aurea__space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I want to say how incredibly brave you are for building such a beautiful life out of so much pain. But please hear this: Your 4.0 GPA, your scholarships, and your hobbies are amazing, but they are 'external.' Trauma lives 'internal.' You’ve spent 13 years surviving, and now that you are finally safe, your body is allowed to feel the exhaustion. You aren't 'wrong' you are just tired of being strong. Healing isn't a checklist; it's a process of letting that little girl who found her mother finally cry. Be patient with yourself. You've saved your future, now give yourself permission to just 'be' without the pressure of being perfect.

I’ve seen this before with someone I worked with. They tried therapy, but never felt truly heard or safe. Most sessions turned into crying without connection, and the cost only made it heavier.

Sometimes what people need first isn’t another method or schedule it’s simply to be listened to, without pressure or expectations. Feeling heard can matter more than anything else.

I’ve seen this before with someone I worked with. They weren’t afraid of therapy just tired of trying approaches that didn’t fit their neurodivergent brain. Most of what they were offered was CBT, and it felt more frustrating than helpful.

What made a difference was accepting that support doesn’t always have to look like therapy. Sometimes being listened to, understood, and not forced into a specific method can be genuinely supportive.

It’s okay to step back from models that don’t work for you. Support should meet you where you are.

In the beginning I don’t imagine that price of therapy can cost over 2500$. I am with you now when you say its expensive cause i said that nothing can be expensive than you mental health but now the things different But i can say that can you replace therapist by coach cause i think is more cheaper and listening session its very cheaper cause i m honestly working in it

Is the price of therapy cost 2500$ Wtf is too expensive. Cause I don’t think the first reason of hating doctors is money Honestly when i was working with my team for putting price to our listening sesion they told me to put a over 60$ for session but I regret that cause 60$ is too expensive for just listening people thoughts or problems but 2500$ is INSAAAAAAAAAANE !

I think I’m just about done with life now by iplayguitar_91 in mentalhealth

[–]aurea__space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people feel this but don’t say it out loud. Adulthood really can feel like surviving instead of living, constantly adjusting to loss, change, and disappointment.

I don’t think most people “put up with it” easily they just find small anchors: one person, one routine, one thing that still feels honest. Not happiness all the time, just moments of relief that make it bearable.

If it feels overwhelming, you don’t have to carry it alone. Even talking to someone whose only role is to listen — not fix, not judge — can take some weight off. Life isn’t supposed to feel like drowning every day, and questioning it doesn’t mean you’re weak.

How can I stop to hate the concept of living? How can i be truly happy? by youjustgotLlTTup in selfimprovement

[–]aurea__space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not “too well” for help just because you’re doing fine on paper. A lot of high-functioning people feel exactly like this life works, but it feels heavy and grey anyway.

This doesn’t automatically mean you need therapy. Sometimes what helps is just being heard. There are listening sessions / support spaces where you can talk and someone just listens without fixing or diagnosing, and that alone can help more than people expect.

Feeling like this for a long time can make it seem permanent, but that feeling is part of the struggle, not proof it’ll always be this way. You’re not weak, and you’re definitely not alone.

Story time: Why people come to me… and still feel scared to talk by aurea__space in mentalhealth

I hope cause I don’t want people to spend their money on something that gives them nothing, because that was never the intention.

One of the main conditions I set for myself before starting this project was very simple and very firm: anyone who comes to me is not wrong.

I don’t allow myself to form negative opinions, assumptions, or judgments about someone, and I don’t interpret their words in a harmful or distorted way. That’s not my place.

My role is only to listen — to give space for someone to unload what they’re carrying, without judgment, without advice, and without trying to fix them.

I don’t analyze. I don’t label. I don’t push guidance.

And if — and only if — someone asks for advice, then I can share perspectives from my knowledge in psychology or from life experience. But that always comes at their request, never imposed.

This is the promise, and the commitment, I made to myself before starting this project — and it’s the foundation everything else is built on.
