Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

This week has been a terrible, horrible, no good week with my mental health so bad I'm debating making an appointment with a psychiatrist next week.
But for now, a bright spot: One of the Russians convicted in absentia for the MH17 has been arrested. Though for criticizing Putin.

Hope you’ll get through the hump!
Sorry to hear about your week, hope you're holding up. Though talking about it with someone might be helpful indeed. Would however suggest that you might want to see a therapist/counsellor instead of a psychiatrist (unless you have been seeing one, or are looking for medical help), as they might be more suited to what you may need in dealing with the stress and difficult experiences. We've also copied the mental health wiki over here to c/care if you're looking for information on this. Wishing you the best!
Thanks. I've already been seeing a therapist for over a year. They reached an impasse.
I see, sorry to hear that too! (But it's not a problem - this kind of situation with therapy can happen.) Just wishing you that you'll find some support and help you need (in professional service or otherwise) soon!
