Hi everyone, my name is John Blake. I’m 30 years old, and I decided to join this forum because I’ve learned that keeping everything inside only makes things heavier. On the outside, my life looks fairly stable—I work, pay my bills, and show up for the people who rely on me—but internally, it hasn’t always felt that way. I’ve struggled with anxiety and periods of depression, especially when I feel pressure to always be “strong” or to have everything figured out by this age. Some days are manageable, and others feel overwhelming for reasons I can’t always explain.

My name is Danica Felix. I’m 20 years old, and I’m reaching out because mental health has become something I can no longer ignore or handle alone. I live with anxiety and depression, and while some days I can manage, other days feel exhausting and overwhelming. I often find myself overthinking, feeling stuck in my own head, or struggling to find motivation even for things I care about. It’s been a difficult journey, but I’m learning that these struggles don’t define my worth—they’re part of something I’m actively working through.
I’m posting here because I want to create a support group for people who are dealing with similar challenges. I believe there’s real power in sharing experiences, listening without judgment, and reminding each other that we’re not alone in this. My hope is to build a safe, understanding space where we can support one another, talk openly about mental health, and take small steps toward healing together. If this resonates with you, I’d really love to connect.

Hi, I’m Holly Green, I’m 16, and I wanted to share a little of my experience with eating disorders. For me, it didn’t start as wanting to be “thin” or anything like that—it started as wanting control. Counting calories, skipping meals, and obsessing over food felt like something I could manage when everything else felt overwhelming. But over time, it stopped feeling like control and started feeling like a constant battle in my head. I was tired, moody, and always thinking about food or my body, even when I wanted to just be a normal teenager and enjoy things with my friends.
I’m still figuring things out, and some days are harder than others, but I’m learning that eating disorders aren’t a choice or a phase—they’re real mental health struggles. If you’re dealing with something similar, you’re not weak or broken, and you’re definitely not alone. Talking to someone you trust, whether it’s a friend, parent, teacher, or counselor, can feel scary, but it can also be the first step toward feeling better. Recovery isn’t perfect or fast, but it is possible, and we all deserve to feel okay in our own bodies.
