Mental Health Venting

Just wanted to start a thread where people can maybe vent a bit in a non judgement area.

Just to say what’s on your mind and maybe alleviate a pressure or two. Find someone that can relate.

For myself this winter has been so brutally cold and snowy. I am a very active outdoorsy guy that enjoys hikes, walks and runs but I haven’t been able to do that at all this winter. It’s caused the most severe onset of seasonal depression I have ever experienced. Idk weird to cope with it and my worry is that as weather patterns degrade this will only get worse.

Maybe someone can relate
:3
 
I've been trying to find good resources for mental health on this forum.
I'd like to consider myself a relatively functional person with a nice home, good job, living in a major city, active in local communities, and whatnot.

I do want to improve and grow though. I'd love to talk to a therapist and develop strategies and identify areas of potential growth.
I'm nervous about seeing a therapist/psychologist/psychiatrist though because I'm not sure how to talk about furry/zoo (not that I have to). I'd love a more practical and clinical discussion about sex though with a professional and it's hard to avoid when being a zoophile is part of that for me.

I'm wondering if anyone has had good experiences, what the legalities are here in Canada, and if anyone has any recommendations or stories they could share?
 
Experiencing Persona 5 depression when you put your gaming standard so high to match such a game you regret playing it
 
Depression has really been kicking my ass lately to where I pretty much do nothing but lay down all day. Sometimes cant even bother to turn on the television and just battle with my thoughts. A viscous cycle where feeling like your a pos makes you do nothing which ends up just making you feel worse. Surely I'm not the only one but I suppose its different for everyone. Meds help but it still comes and goes in cycles for me
 
I went through a depressed cycle at one point during the Covid . All the deaths and gloom and doom news, the ‘new normal’ and the isolation from other people and the fear of being sick or getting someone sick and it all just hit me in a bad way. I was worried about money and being unemployed. Not good times for me.

I am thankful for my German Shepard during that time. I won’t bore everyone with the details but having a companion to care for really helped me focus and forced me to at least care for him even if in didn’t want to care for myself.

I kinda just came out of it over time. I learned to simplify my life and focus on me and not worry as much about Facebook and the news and honestly, I am Overall a lot happier.

Everyone has thier own stories and thier own demons to deal with. If I can do anything let me know. I always want to help people in the ways that I can and be supportive
 
I literally can not shut up about zoo to anyone. I think about it a lot, want to talk about, and it consumes a lot of my time. It’s the way of having a special interest. But I think people are getting annoyed or even suspicious. But the topic is so interesting. I wish people would get over their moral hang ups. Talking about it doesn’t mean you have to do it. That’s like saying telling kids about homosexuality will make em gay.

I’m starting to lose friends because of it haha. :(

I feel that a little bit because besides me personally being zoo I find paraphilias in general extremely fascinating as a topic of psychology. However, I can't really discuss it with anyone because people think it's weird and start to question and get suspicious.

I'm impressed with your story and it's great to see someone willing to help out another human in their time of need.
While the news was terrible with covid and how it was affecting other's all over the world, sometimes we have to step back and look at what we need. If there's anything left, it's great to share our strengths and maybe even just a sympathetic ear.
Sometimes they just need someone to talk to.
I'm glad things got better for you. In time things work themselves out sometimes.
