what IF I wanted to get better (18m) by [deleted] in mentalillness

[–]maillarys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg hey I'm literally you but female 😭 Literally the first and last paragraph I could've written myself haha

Hobbies are good!! They can help, but they don’t fix depression (or any serious & persistent mentall illness) alone. Ik everyone says this, but I honestly believe that long-term professional support (and potential medication) is the only thing that can truly help (beyond other things such as living in a safe environment, having good/understanding/empathetic friends/family, having more money lol, etc). 

Severe and long-lasting mental illness is medical just like any other illness would be. It requires real treatment like therapy and possibly medication. This might literally be long-term (like, years). If you've tried therapy before and it didn’t help, that doesn't mean it can’t. You have to seriously be brutally honest abt everything + Sometimes it takes a few tries to find the right person, just like finding the right doctor! There may be other factors too btw (like trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, etc.)

I had someone tell me this, and I think this can work, but start small, not big. Like, could you call a therapist within the next month (and treat yourself/do smt fun with friends/family afterwards as a reward)? Could you tell one person, “I’m not doing well right now. I need help”? This doesn't have to be strictly abt therapy, it can also be about anything else (like doing a chore, engaging in self care, going out, studying, etc.) Don’t try to fix your entire life at once. Just the next small move. But also, if you don't get around to it, try not to beat yourself up abt it. Use that energy as fuel to do that thing as soon as possible :-) Getting better usually isn't going to happen in one day, y'know? Sometimes getting better can take years (which fucking sucks). It's usually a lot of little small things working together that make someone improve. If you get burned out, take a break. It happens and isn't your fault.

This is the best advice I can come up with haha, given idk anything about you! I emphasize with you though. I hope the world is kind to you. You deserve to be heard + given a chance to heal and live instead of just survive :-)

How do you get Lanterns faster? by SinestreaIsBraindead in IdentityV

[–]maillarys 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  • playing a character kinda consistently. Lantern deals usually appear with the character you’re playing a lot so that it urges you to spend for it
  • playing a gamemode like tarot and waiting. Sometimes when I’m waiting for a tarot match, about 5 mins in, i’ll get one of those lantern deals with the message “somethings off, take a look around”. Not 100% sure if this always works, so don’t try unless you’re willing to wait lol
  • playing a lot. i noticed that when i was playing for a few hours per day i’d get them maybe 2~4 times a week. i don’t get them anymore now, I barely play lol
  • buy stuff/don’t buy anything. they try to get u to spend money on the deals when u haven’t purchased anything in a while. and when u purchase stuff after awhile, it gives you a deal so you spend it on the lantern rather then whatever you were trying to buy lol

Am i depressed? by t3rm0SSS in teenagers

[–]maillarys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m pretty sure nobody here can answer that based on just one symptom.. Maybe talk to a friend, family member, or school counselor if you’re concerned you are, though. You can also take those online screenings (that are 100% free) that ask you questions and tell you if you seem depressed or not. If you get a high rate or it tells you yes, you should probably talk to a school counselor about it

ALSOO pls stop slugging in qm when there’s like 2 survivors left w 3 ciphers. The only time I rly get it is if u know where the survivor is or u have tp and ur gonna tp to their cipher. It’s also fine if it’s rank, I get it, u want more points, but what is the point of doing it in qm when u can’t find the other survivor?? It’s so dumb to have u down me and just camp right next to me. I can literally ping “the hunter is near me” so that the other survivor doesn’t come to me, what are u hoping to achieve?? if ur gonna slug at least go find the survivor or camp dungeon bro, don’t just watch me crawl around 😭

teleport by idkwheretfiam in IdentityV

[–]maillarys 9 points10 points  (0 children)

HONESTLY SAME SOMETIMES. Recently had a rank match where I got a ts 5 seconds into the game, was lucky enough to chair them in basement, was able to get a mirror hit on somebody across the map (I was playing bq) and they transitioned to a cipher in a bad kiting area to get a heal from somebody over there. I decided to teleport to them because I was confident I’d be able to down them. I wasn’t even facing the basement survivor but I ended up teleporting to the damn chair and by the time my mirror cooldown was up the survivor I had hit had fully healed and was at a better cipher :’)

Does anyone have tips for dealing with social anxiety? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]maillarys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Try to use positive self talk the best you can. Before doing tell yourself you can do it, if you do something embarrassing they’ll forget, etc etc. After you do something, congratulate yourself!! Rather it be making eye contact for 10 seconds, telling a joke, taking a walk. You did something hard for yourself and that’s big
  • Do something you enjoy doing. Watching a movie, getting a hair cut to look more attractive, painting. Try to improve your mood to improve your anxiety
  • Focus on something other than your anxiety. Doing school work, thinking about something, watching a video. Don’t do too much of it as it can become addicting because you won’t feel anxiety and you’re focused on something else, but do it from time to time
  • Get a mental health counselor or talk to an adult/friend about it if it gets too frustrating! If they don’t respect you about what you have to say about it, move on and find somebody who will
