Who is that person you can turn to in that immediate time when you know that your mental health status has dropped? What is your reason for your choice?
well for me its my partner, my family (mum mainly) and people who i know i can trust online just people who i know it makes it easier for me to turn to those i trust
I always confident in my parents and when ever I have an issue I used to share with them because I can get my thoughts out of stress.
I have said other because I dont tell anyone anything. The less people that knows anything the better for me
I HAVE to see a psychologist and a psychiatrist, I see the psychologist twice a month and I see the psychiatrist once a month. The psychologist talks to me about my problems and the psychiatrist makes sure everything is ok with my medication.
A family member, my elder sister. It was my mom when she was still alive. There are times, though, that my sister would say that I'm getting emotionally weak again, and I hate it. So, I'd get my journal and write about how I feel. It works most of the time.
I voted for partner on this. But honestly, each of those choices has an advantage and disadvantage. The person you confide in comes down to how well you know each. You'd think you can confide in a professional because they're just that, professional. But that's sort of impersonal because they're only paid to know you. To them, you're just a job. So I personally wouldn't use them. Family members are good but the problem with that is the same thing as the benefit, it's your family. If this is something shameful you're confiding then it could be hard to face them ever again in the same way. Or for them to see you in a positive light. The real life friend might be a better confidant than the family at first glance. But that's risky because friendship is sometimes fragile. And even the closest of friends can spill a secret and send a friendship bond spiraling downward. The Online friend is anonymous so there isn't any immediate consequence to confiding in that person. But that person only knows you depending on how much you allow them to know. Nor can they give you the sort of bond you may need simply because being anonymous makes one faceless. Now your partner, this is the person you should confide in above all else. In theory, it's the person you're sharing your life with. If you can't trust your partner, how can you trust right?
