Hey everyone,
Have you ever felt like you’ve been struggling for so long that it just feels normal now? Maybe you’ve been dealing with overwhelming emotions, dark thoughts, or just this constant heaviness - but you’ve never been diagnosed or given a name for what you’re going through. It’s exhausting, right? 
Not having answers can make it feel even lonelier. You might wonder, “Is this just who I am?” or “Do I even deserve help if I’ve been dealing with this for so long?” But here’s the truth: You don’t need a diagnosis to be struggling, and you don’t need a diagnosis to deserve support.
If you’ve been carrying this weight for years, please know that you’re not broken, and you’re not alone! There are people who care, and there are ways to get through this - even if it doesn’t feel that way right now.
For those of you who have been in this place before, what helped you keep going? Let’s share and support each other.

Hi friends,
So many of us are quietly carrying things we’ve never fully named. And although healing doesn’t always look like a clear path or a big breakthrough, it does often begin with moments like these… where we feel seen, even a little.
If you’re still in that heavy space, still unsure of what it is you’re going through… that’s okay. Awareness takes time. Language comes slowly. But your experience still matters in the meantime.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin being kind to yourself 
If you’re open to it - what’s one small thing you’ve done lately that brought you even a moment of peace or relief? Let’s keep holding space for each other. 
Ooh is this a thread where anyone can comment? @cottonsoul
good topic, 2 small things of self care : i take a nap & use my fav sheet masks when feel hot and bothered.
As an introvert I process stuff more intensely than others, so i prefer to be in my own fantasy more than RL. even if im now a working adult, I still have probs with old folks.
My office environment has minimal neg politics, im ok with most co-workers and boss. Tho sometimes i’m kind of annoyed by 1 who often take mc and AL - just when have So many stuff to pack gah wrong timing
Only her role is similar and we supp to work tog. Sure i know she has asthma, hm but the recent thing she said couldn help when she came coz her cramps bad. For my dept, the seniors set up a group attendance thing for us to notify each other if get sick or take AL.
Hm so first few months when she suddenly absent, i didn ask reason but i PMed oh u mc again. hm from being friendly she replied tersely that between colleags got boundaries 
etc etc
Took everything in me not to snap at her, coz when she joined our space was limited and i was told to shift my table to accomodate space. Hmm, since we still have to work tog, i didn bring this up. But i felt its weird she defensive when our work culture is informal-- when i first join not close but when i take mc most colleags asked are u ok, its normal to show concern (i explained abt this)
Oh yes shes young mum got 2 sons.
After that smoothed over, but i still feel she often taking mc = = Plus very* friendly with other colleags. At times i find humans very volatile

Hi @Fenrispro
Absolutely! You can respond to any of the threads here on mindline!
Sounds like you’re doing a great job processing a lot internally while trying to stay grounded at work, and I hear how much thought and care you put into managing your emotions and maintaining harmony, even when things feel unfair or confusing. It’s okay to feel frustrated and still choose peace! Maybe your body-care rituals are also ways you’re trying to soothe those emotional tensions.
Just want to encourage you, keep taking care of your space, inside and out!
