Where to post and not be attacked?

[LuxLuxLux84]

I am very isolated in general not just in lockdown. I have complicated issues I need others insight into to help me. I feel very depressed and trapped in my life and very angry with some people and let down but don’t know how to navigate my life/ relatinships. I have tried posting on mumsnet for advice but most respondents just seemed to want to shame me and make me feel like an idiot and say superior things. Is there a thread I might post on instead to avoid this ( previously posted on relationships)? Feeling v depressed and in need of advice but afraid to post and be shamed.

There is a mental health board, they tend to be kind there.
MN is not a happy place at the moment though and there is a lot of ripping each other apart. Try to remember that this is not representative of real life.

Thanks Wasail. I
Might try mental health- might not risk it as I feel quite vulnerable at the moment.

I know someone who got a lot of understanding from a mental health area of Discord.

Might be worth looking into.

Probably not MN to be honest. It might be better to see if there are any friendship groups near you that you could ring but if you have some complicated issues you might want to try and find a counsellor to help you work through some of them. Unfortunately, it’s not the best time to be getting mental health support but there might be some video chat options out there. The internet isn’t the best place when you’re feeling vulnerable, people feel like they can say whatever they want because you aren’t face to face.

It's SO AWFUL that you don't feel safe to post here op

I'm so sorry its got to this, that even Relationships isn't safe.

Strange, strange times xxx

Likewise OP. I hear you.

This place feels like the last place for those emotionally vulnerable to post in right now, sadly. Even though we are at a time when mental health is taking a big toll.

Another recommending the MH Board OP.

LuxLux, I'm so sorry.

I do think we should all be extra kind, especially to people with health problems. It's not your fault and the current situation doesn't help.

As for advice, only people qualified to give it should do so. You will probably get stories based on personal experience or the experience of people they know.

The best ones will be more simple and comforting.

I was thinking about about this too, OP

It has gone a bit funny on here. I agree that the Mental Health board is a good idea.

Have you tried reddit lots of the subreddits are much more kind and less judgemental than here. They seem to be a lot more specific, although can be USA centric.

Feel free to message me if you need someone to listen.
