Hey everyone, curious to know how you take care of yourself when your not feeling your best. What's helped you? Or what do you come back to when things get heavy?

Last year I was in a friend group - me, another girl and two boys. Let's call the girl, I don't know, Kara, and the boys can be Tim and Nick. (NOT THEIR REAL NAMES I don't name drop:)) Kara and Tim liked each other, which was fine with Nick and I. Things weren't awkward, we didn't care.

I had done a... read more

Hey y'all, as an Autistic girl in high school I wanted to know if anyone experiences this.

looking at what's required for each task in this portfolio assessment, I don't think I'll be able to do those tasks since they seem very complicated to do and accomplish - especially the drawing tasks. I just don't think I'll be able to.

It's due in less than 3 weeks time, but with the extension due... read more

Good morning all,

I just wanted to share that I feel lately something is not right with me. There's never I time when I can relax and just breathe, I'm always on edge and anxious.

This never really happened before, I would get small moments of anxiety but now it's almost constant! I wasn't sure if t... read more

Hi, I’ve had a rough few years and I’m trying to just start life again. One last attempt to make something better of myself.

I used to be a bright student back at my school. Passed out my school, entered in university and my brightness started dimming. After passing out from college, my brightness was gone.

Heyyy,

I am feeling very scared and just so overwhelmed at the moment. I have an ED and I think my GP might send me to hospital. I’m terrified that it’s gotten this bad and I didn’t even realise, I can’t fathom telling my parents that they are sending me to hospital. I wake up in the morning wanting... read more

School holidays are possibly my least favourite time of year. I need social interaction to function and my mood gets really low when I don’t have constant connection. I don’t want to arrange plans because then I feel like a burden. I know my friends don’t want to hang out with me every second of eve... read more

This might get wordy sorry!

For context I'm someone who is about a year into trying to get ADHD diagnosis and medication (nearly there, i hope), but had been considering it in a serious capacity for about 5 years even before that. I'm also technically a first-year in uni, but already I've had to swit... read more

Hi everyone,

I really don't want to get too political on here, which is why I'm keeping this brief and this is entirely all my own opinion, but I know that a lot of others might share this same anxiety?

I'm really nervous about the results for the upcoming federal election on may 3rd. I know that I... read more
