At the turn of September, my mental health went really down hill.

I have always had problems getting to sleep and feeling that I don’t get enough sleep. So having a day without sleep didn’t feel so strange to me. Usually after that I have had great sleep, the next night not so much, and so. It is often a cycle of good and bad days / nights that gets triggered by too much stress probably.

This time I didn’t get to sleep the next night neither and I started getting really stressed about everything. I had psychosis-like symptoms. I super duper over-reacted to every stimuli and my head wasn’t in a good place.

I posted here about watching news and trying not to overreact and stress too much.

Then I posted almost a cry for help where explained the situation with politics and world news. I don’t get it either.

So I freaked out for no reason, and I just stressed more about the attention I got from devRant. Then I had a feeling that I’m being followed and thought that someone broke to my apartment. I was paranoid.

I left my home to calm down elsewhere. My dad’s and mom’s house. Didn’t help, and I ended up in hospital. Not too dramatic though. Just resting and trying out new medication.

Now it's better. I have the new medication and I'm having some health studies done on me so it won't happen again.

    Seriously dude, vent your frustrations here. The community is here to lean on. We all get it although some here have thin skins, most have a good solid understanding of rant-camaraderie .

    This ain't StackExchange, it's real and raw and honest here.

    I hope you find the strength to over-come the current phase of your life. Just DM if you simply feel like talking to someone.
    Peace :)
