Being Queer and Living With a Disability
For many people, being LGBTQ+ can still be challenging, as many countries criminalize queerness. It is also hard to live in a world where sometimes we feel that everything is set up straight, which can damage the mental health of many queer people. Research has shown that LGBTQ+ folks are more susceptible to mental health problems than heterosexual people due to a range of factors, including discrimination and inequalities.

What It’s like to Be That Mentally Disabled Person in a Men Brotherhood
A few months ago, I was invited by a friend of mine to join a private support group for men. So basically, it is a group that meets weekly and is a place for men to share any goals, issues, difficulties they have in any aspect of their life, and to get support and honest feedback from the others that are there.

The Is How Antidepressants Changed My life and May Change Yours
How did my story begin? It was a cold day in December 2018. I remember waking up at 2 pm, after spending the whole night awake trying to convince my mind to stop thinking and give me the peace to be able to close my eyes. I woke up, looked through my window and a couple of questions came to my mind about whether I should get out of my bed or stay there for a couple of more hours. I remember feeling an intense sorrow at that time. It was then that I remembered that I have my first appointment with the psychiatrist. I couldn't eat that time, I remember grabbing a small piece of chocolate to shut my starving stomach up and went out without even caring about the way I dressed or the way I smelled.

What did I look like when I was depressed?
During my depression, I could have three different faces. The first one is when I am feeling some joy because I am not breaking down, thinking that maybe I got to to the end of the dark tunnel I have been walking in for a while. When I am in this state, I feel happy, optimistic and excited about tomorrow. I feel like all my sad moments were just a passing cloud, and that all my traumas happened for a reason, a positive one. My view of the world changes and my mood is stable all the time. My mother used to tell me that my eyes usually shine whenever I am genuinely happy, and the following pictures shows that. I remember I was smiling for real, I wasn't faking it that time, I was in relief, I was out of the prison called depression.

This Is Why I Want To Date A Bisexual Person
When I started dating for the first time, I was always reluctant to date bisexual folks, I was really intimidated by the idea due to several reasons and myths imposed by society. I had many chances to date some of the most amazing people I ever met, who happened to be bisexuals because of my ignorance and fear of the word bisexual.

Things I wish my family and friends knew about my depression
I just arrived home. Today, I was supposed to go on a school trip, I registered for it two months ago and was looking forward to it. I was awake all night since yesterday I fell asleep the whole day, so my sleep pattern is completely messed up now. The school bus is supposed to leave at 8.30 am, but the event organizers urged us to come earlier. I was telling myself that if I want to get better, I should socialize more, and leave my room more. So, around 7 am I shaved my beard, and dressed well, leaving my room in a complete mess. I arrived at the gathering location at 8 am, and more people started arriving. I looked at their faces, many seemed really different, they seemed normal. Many were with their families and friends, and even the few ones who were alone seemed to be in peace with themselves. I started hesitating whether I should participate in this paid trip that I waited for since a while or just go back home. After 10 minutes of hesitating, I decided to go back home, and here I am changing my clothes and wearing my pyjamas. This is one of the easiest ways to explain how depression is affecting me and I wouldn’t wish it to my enemies.

Am I just an introvert or is it social anxiety?
Having social anxiety is the synonym of giving up on all the power a person has to other people and situations. It is a constant feeling of stress, a constant state of being lost. It feels like the person is put in jail, having both hands and legs chained the moment they step out of their house.
