Does anyone have mental health problems?

[Sussex Nomad]

I want to bring this to a public forum, a big one, this is a big forum. Yes I have mental health problems. Can anyone else admit to it?

Quite a few i would think.

Depression 2.6 in 100 people
Anxiety 4.7 in 100 people
Mixed anxiety and depression 9.7 in 100 people
Phobias 2.6 in 100 people
OCD 1.3 in 100 people
Panic disorder 1.2 in 100 people
Post traumatic stress disorder 3.0 in 100 people
Eating disorders 1.6 in 100 people

I have some very real self control issues which could, if unchecked, lead to substance abuse.

I think that counts?

i'd suggest this forum could affect someone's mental health especially if they take it all to heart what's posted to them

I know you find it very 'in' to take the piss but really, some of us have problems. Does it make you feel good?

I wasn't taking the piss, I do feel some people are affected by social media and that wasn't directed at you

But the reason we don't mate is because everyone thinks we're a bit mad. I have taken this on a step and admitted it.

No we definitely know. They aren't 'theys' they are normal people.

I'd wager the number that have diagnosed mental health issues will be outnumbered by those with undiagnosed ones.

Ok thank you.

not a problem

I am unclear what the purpose of this thread is?
Many people have mental health issues. Some can come and go, some get stronger and milder as life events occur.
But posting as an anonymous user of a web-based Forum? Please help me to understand, what does that achieve?
I could state that I have, or do not have, any number of physical or mental health issues on this Forum. I am just wondering what, if anything, I achieve by that?
I am genuinely not trying to run you down, slate the original post or anything like that - I just genuinely don't (yet) understand why you invite others to state whether they do or do not have such issues.

I imagine it's a continuum along which everyone lies somewhere.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

I get the feeling no-one wants to admit, the forum is too big.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

There are many people on here that know me in my real life and will be shocked.

Stop being so precious. You've admitted you have mental health problems, no need to go jumping down everyone's throat.

 

[Marshy]

Well if said person knows, ( which they refuse to admit ) then they should get help, but wont..its not a nice thing
