    i just want to say, i finally am speaking up about my mental health and i’m going to go to the doctor soon! i finally brought it up with my dad and he’s going to schedule me an appointment tomorrow because i’m too scared to do it myself! 😂😂
    if anyone’s struggling to open up about needing serious help, please do because you’ll feel so good about finally taking action on it afterwards! i feel like i’m finally trying to get my life together! lol
    i just needed to comment this because i am so proud of myself for finally bringing it up and wanted to share with the -2 people who will see this comment😂😂💞

      wassup it’s julia I’m really proud of you ❤️ I know I need help but I’m really scared to talk to anyone, I find it difficult to trust people. I don’t have a strong relationship with my family and I don’t want to worry my friends. Idk what to do. But I’m so so proud of you for getting help, I hope you’re doing well ❤️❤️

    Going to the doctor today for the first time in over 4 years. Need to figure out how to bring up social anxiety in a normal way. I just don't know what to say. It's like I need therapy, but don't want to talk. If I could just have a second person in my mind talking to me about things I need to talk about it would be so much easier. There's no time limit or pay or worry of if the doctor actually cares or just wants to give you a pill and get you out.

      Hi Pri, firstly well done for making an appointment to go to your GP. It can be a big important step for your recovery. We have some info on how to have these conversations on our website > bit.ly/2H3880W Hope that helps! Cora at Mind

      @@ShlFIfa Hi Adriano, really sorry to hear that, it can be really frustrating when we feel like we're not being listened to. You have the right to request a different GP if you feel like you're not getting the support you need from yours. We also have a page on suicidal feelings that could be useful? www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/suicidal-feelings/#.W_ViYDj7SUk Take care, Cora at Mind

    I’m going to the doctor’s tomorrow about my mental health but I just don’t know how to bring it up. I feel like it would be weird to walk in and just say hey I think I’m depressed but I don’t know how else to say it. Any advise??

    But GPs often know nothing about mental health. Once when I was in the midst of a severe bout of depression, I had these strange experiences where I would feel I was in a nightmare when I was awake. I would see and hear where I was, and also see and hear the nightmare. He brushed me off, as he thought I was confusing being asleep with being awake. I was on medication, so it eventually stopped happening but I was terrified and found it very disturbing and I just wanted to be told things were ok. Along with the other things I was thinking and feeling, I think there's a good chance I was experiencing psychosis so I should have been referred back to the mental health team.

      Yes mine just says "it's fine" the medication doesn't work it's not high enough or the right one and I'm mostly depressed stuck in a town and flat I hate

    I don’t have any mental health but me and two of my friends are going to do a cake sale in school for this charity. Also we have to do mindfulness every afternoon. I’m a massive SAFC fan so that’s where I heard of this charity

    I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my UA-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤

    Could I go see my Practice Nurse instead of my GP , since I've known her longer ?
    Would she be able to help?

      Hi Ro, that does sound difficult, are there are other people at your surgery you could talk to, or another surgery entirely? We have some info on changing GPs www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/seeking-help-for-a-mental-health-problem/if-youre-not-happy-with-your-gp/#changing Hope that helps, take care, Ellie from Mind

    "There is no wrong to tell someone how you're feeling" Telling someone in an inaccurate way would be the wrong way.

    Well, there is the wrong way. That's not relaying correct information to the GP.
