This week has been brutal. I’m a recovering cutter and I cut myself for the first time in a year and a half earlier this week. Really discouraging. I may end up checking myself into a mental health facility. It’s frustrating because I really felt like I was progressing it feels like I take one step forward and five steps back. Please do what you think would be best for you and do what you need to do to get healthy. We’re rooting for your recovery.

I told a couple of close friends about what was going on and that helped me to be able to let them know what is really going on.

My mental health has not been good lately. I've been having trouble sleeping and I ended up crying when I was trying to sleep last night. :/ It's been tough.
I hope you are/will be alright JD!

I was admitted to a mental health facility for four days. It was very challenging at times being isolated from my loved ones, but I was able to make it through. The work does not stop here I’m going to start some type of outpatient program soon.

My mental health just took a nose dive after 3 years of being reasonably stable. I tried to kill myself 3 weeks ago

Here is an update on my mental health just in case anyone would like to know. I was doing well until March 24th. I was unjustly admitted to a mental health hospital. I was only held for 3 days but I left in poor physical and mental health. I am still sick from the injections I received and the medication they gave me. I have bruises from being physically mistreated and now nightmares and major anxiety issues as well as panic attacks.

This song has been getting stuck in my head a lot and I don't know if I should be worried or not lol.
In all seriousness, my mental health seems okay but it could be better. Like I'm not in a state of crisis but it feels like life is passing me by a bit right now and I'm lacking motivation and energy. Also my sleep schedule is messed up a bit right now too. I'm hoping that with the holidays being over and the weather getting warmer maybe I can rest and start eating healthier again and maybe that'll help some.
The thing I'm worried about the most right now is a funeral I have to attend next month. They're finally doing a ceremony of life for my friend who passed in 2020. I guess I'm worried more for my one friend who has been taking her passing harder than the rest of us. I feel like I'm going to be running interference for her a lot to keep people prying for details away for her. I've been to a lot of funerals and I have broad shoulders. I should be able to handle things like that. I think she's only been to one though so I don't want her to have to deal with rude people. Personally. I don't like funerals, I don't think seeing my loved ones in a coffin or urn gives me any sense of closure and I don't like the reminder that my loved ones have died. I'd rather remember them as full of life. I guess I'm just hoping that this ceremony of life seems less formal and uplifting and not like a funeral. I'm mentally preparing myself for either case though. I had reached a good place with my grief. I'm just hoping this doesn't trigger it again.

I am sure that you will be okay at the funeral and be a big help to others in attendance who may need emotional support. I have never seen the purpose of funerals either. Some people say that they provide closure but all I think they accomplish is to further depress those in attendance or make them experience more grief and anxiety. But I guess funerals are a societal tradition that we can't change anytime soon. Always remember, your friends at NTC are always here for you just like you are always here for us!

I guess I’m just worried about the possibility of old classmates showing up and creating drama. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

You can’t be prepared for every scenario. Most important for you is to remember her and honor her. Secondary objective is to keep an eye on your friend. The rest doesn’t matter. If people want to act up, it’s on them.

If people want to act up, it’s on them. My concern isn’t with people misbehaving outside my circle, it’s more just the concern that people will come up to my friends and try to pry for information that we don’t really have. My one friend has taken it harder than the rest of us so I will spend the day keeping my eye on her. Personally, this is far from my first funeral and I’ll be okay.
