Goth_Claudia Posted February 6, 2018 Report Posted February 6, 2018 Mental health in the DDLG community As a little in the community and a person who is struggling with mental disorders (Depression, Anxiety, Psychosis, etc), I would like to spread awareness of this in hopes that people will finally come out and be comfortable with these types of things and finally come to terms with their mental illness(s)/ impairment(s). It is so difficult, especially in these times, to talk about/ seek help for ones mental illness. It is seen as bad and scary, and it is a scary thing, but not at all bad. Itś perfectly normal, actually. You are not alone with your struggles. I have met many littles and caregivers with depression, anxiety, autism, self harm issues/ suicidal thoughts, Psychosis, schizophrenia and so many other mental illnesses. You are not alone! I hope this post will enlighten people to see there struggles, not as a bad thing, but as a thing that they can get help for, a thing they can get through. A thing they can coupe with. I am going to add to this in the future, and it will include helplines, coping skills, grounding techniques, stories and lots more. Feel free to leave a comment, share your story, or just ask questions. My inbox is always open. You are loved. 1
Guest ~*~Sachita~*~ Posted February 6, 2018 Report Posted February 6, 2018 We love and accept members with a variety of mental illness diagnoses. However, our rules state: If a member needs advice concerning mental or physical health issues, encourage the member to seek professional care. Refrain from giving explicit medical/psychiatric advice. Suggestions for coping skills or grounding techniques would fall under mental health advice. There is an existing thread for helpline number: Help & Prevention Hotlines and Sites and there is also this Self-Care Master Post. As for stories, you may want to check out one of these existing threads: https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/494-mental-illness-and-ddlg/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/2675-did-and-being-little/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/3248-anxiety-in-ddlg/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/3290-littles-with-mental-health-issues/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/4211-coping-with-social-anxiety-without-your-cg/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/5071-emotional-trauma-and-ddlg-relationship/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/5383-ptsd-little/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/5559-mental-illness-in-the-dynamic/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/5713-mental-illness-as-a-little/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/7997-partners-with-depression/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/9180-clinginess-jealousy-question/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/9882-littles-with-eating-disorders/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/10757-littles-and-mental-illness/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/11866-depression-and-anxiety-in-a-little/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/12105-littlekitten-with-mental-ilness/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/13154-the-catch-22-of-ptsd/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/13592-can-i-still-be-little/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/14768-depressed-littles/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/14912-littlespace-and-depression/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/15141-littles-with-mental-illnesses/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/15481-severe-anxiety-in-little-space/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/16088-bipolar-mommy/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/16785-calling-all-bpders/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/18281-ptsd/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/19088-helping-little-with-body-image-and-eating-issues/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/20098-littles-and-mental-illness/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/23383-question-about-littles-with-bpd/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/27193-mental-health-and-littles/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/28869-bpd-little-space/ https://www.ddlgforum.com/topic/28979-littles-in-the-mental-health-community/ 2
