Recovery Partners Megathread

[missedmybus]

I am 34m from Belgium. I am a recovering drug addict (almost 10 years clean w a small relapse here and there) with undiagnosed mental issues. I am going into a 10 month rehab/psych program in 10 days. I am just looking for connection. I am into zen meditation, volunteer work, music and writing.

Hey, schreib mir gerne, suche auch jemanden zum reden :)

 

[Notlikeforte]

24F here, really looking for someone to chat with. Someone who knows what it's like to struggle with low energy/lack of motivation and can help me see things in a less hopeless light. Hopefully we can both support each other. Also, I'm happy to chat on Discord if you prefer.
Bonus points if you like anime, feel free to message me for any reason.

Hey
I'm 22 years old a from a country in Europe. I've been struggling with severe depression since I was 18. I often times wish life would be easier but I've also decided that I wanna fight this battle out till I either lose or finally pull through. I barely have anyone to talk to about my feelings or the entire process. If there is anyone that wants to improve their life in a way, feel free to hit me up. Over the last few years I've developed some strategies that are pretty alright, but I'd also be very grateful for any advice / experiences.

Best regards

N

I've posted in the make a friend megathread before but I'm currently in a space where I'm trying some new treatments and trying to hang on a bit longer so this might make sense.

I'm in my 30s, genderqueer and queer, live in the US but keep weird hours. I'm very physically disabled and also have mental illnesses, trauma, autism. I'm very politically left-leaning.

I'm not a positive or hopeful person and am sensitive to people giving me advice and pushing that on me so while I'm not actively planning to ctb I'd still like to be able to be pessimistic and depressed when I need and talk about how much my serious health issues suck. I can hold space for that kind of thing too.

I'm very limited due to chronic pain and arthritis so I can only text chat, no gaming or VC, and prefer shorter messages but like to chat a good amount overall.

I can be a bit difficult to be friends with according to others so heads up on that. I think I'm pretty honest and empathetic and accommodating but express if anything feels off and not everyone likes feedback. But I really like to talk about things like life, writing, music. Just keep each other company. Make playlists, write poems. So if that sounds cool feel free to message.

[sakakap]

21 / m / Western Europe.

I've slowly been getting out of a rut after some things that transpired last winter caused me to isolate myself to an unhealthy degree. I'm about to start going to uni and am looking for someone who's interested in recovering together. Currently my days are mostly spent at work [only 4 weeks remaining!! :)] , but when possible I enjoy running, reading or going for long walks in nature with my dog! Some of the more notable issues I've dealt with are depression, anxiety and an eating disorder.

I'd prefer to talk to people who don't have too many close friends already but that's not a must. I also don't mind where you're from, I've had friends from all over the world and in my experience it's always doable to schedule around timezones :). As for age I'd prefer someone who's about the same age as me, so roughly between 18 and 23 years old.

You're more than welcome to message me if you're not in a good place mentally but I'd rather not get too attached to someone who has already decided to ctb in the near future, I hope that's understandable.
If you can't send a direct message feel free to like this post and I'll reach out to you!

 

[ankawannadie]

22M / US
Looking for people to chat to sometimes... I don't really plan on socializing outside of the internet anymore so I should be available. I also don't do anything because I have no energy. Forced to go to school though but that's only twice a week and I'm probably going to fail my classes anyways.
More about me on my profile if you share any mutual interests. My timeline is around 6-12 months (So until the end of January 2026) and if I don't make a recovery, I'll just call it quits.

I have unlocked private chats! Shoot me a message whenever.

 

[Mixo]

40 yo female - reposting
I've managed to achieve some meaningful recovery after many years of suicidality due to chronic, debilitating health issues, family rejection, and other life problems that most people would not come back from. Hobbies include computers, technology, animals, meditation, cooking, music, personal finance/investing, reading, self-improvement.

Happy to connect with someone who is actively in recovery. Not looking to meet up irl but online conversations are cool with me. Please note I don't check in here frequently, so my replies might be spotty at first.

[ImpairedLowlife]

24, M, Eastern Europe

After many years of hopelessness and pretty deep depression/anxiety life finally seems to become somewhat better. I'd love to talk to new people, make friends, discuss our recovery progress, life goals, ups and downs and support each other. Also it won't hurt at all for me to have more practice in English.

I'm a student, but currently on an academic leave. My interests/hobbies are pretty banal, but I like anime, love extreme music and breakcore. Also recently I've developed interests in psychedelics, as they helped me a lot in that recovery. I'm not a very social person too, so I don't make a lot of connections with people, but when I do it's usually pretty important/close for me.

Would love to talk there on on other platforms e.g. Discord, Telegram.

 

[ex0cet]

26F - USA

Decided to make a last ditch effort at recovery. I'm pretty depressed so = low energy, but I'd like to be able to chitchat with people who wanna improve their situation, vent about things you can't to people in real life, or at least just help prevent each other from spiraling. I had unsupervised internet access as a child so I tend to text with one brain cell.

I like cosplaying, alternative clothing, anime/games(the stuff from 90s-2018 mostly, idk whats up with the recent stuff). I've got Telegram/Discord :P

 

[-nobodyknows-]

25M - United States

I have depression and anxiety. I really would like to recover, though I am a bit skeptical that I will. I was in therapy for a really long time, and tried everything from hospitalizations to ECT. I ended up giving up on that though when they told me I'd probably always feel like this and should consider long-term hospitalization. I decided to do this because I wanted to try to live a normal life for as long as I could. However, this has been very painful.

I enjoy watching anime. Some of my favorites are A Silent Voice, Shinsekai Yori (which is also my favorite book), and the Heaven's Feel films.

I can be quite sad and melancholy, and tend to be skeptical about positive possibilities when I feel negatively about myself. I'm also not really the best at talking to people so I may come off as a little bit awkward.

If you would like to chat with me, please send me a message. My profile is also open so feel free to look over some of my posts if you would like to learn a little bit more about me.

Used to be depressed, now just depends on substance and sh. I'm working from home, but in reality I almost do nothing because I lack the motivation to do anything.

I need someone to help me to motivate myself. I know im asking a lot, sorry...

Looking for a recovery partner (preferably female, I just get along better). I have discord.

 

[AshenRose]

I'm looking for friends to share my darkest thoughts with and listen to others. It's always been difficult for me to find understanding.

34F, UK, Ideally hoping to get better, but feeling pretty alone. Would love to talk to/listen to people of a similar mindset or people who have gone through it .

I'm also from the UK and feeling alone. It's been a rough year but I'm making progress with recovery and hopefully that will keep going. DM's open to you (and anyone else) who wants to chat.

 

[garbage01]

18m, midwest usa
im really looking for someone who understands me. I have no problem handling heavy topics, and id like to find someone who's the same way. Id like to talk to someone with experiences in drugs, sh, abuse, dissociation and psychosis. Id like to meet someone with little to no limits as to what they can talk about. If you're fringe in the way even those with issues can't handle, if you creep others out, we'll probably get along. I like to talk about things most people can't understand or handle. Talk to me about things you can't tell most people.
My interests include art, reading/writing, philosophy, spirituality, politics, fighting, and horror. And i love to listen.

I can't figure out how to DM you, I don't know wether I just haven't interacted with the site enough or I'm being slow ! but I would love to DM you if I could !

I can't send a DM to you either. I think it might be to do with this

"Why can't I access private messages, chat or the search bar?
To do that, you need a certain amount of contributions - we can't tell you the exact number. It doesn't matter if those contributions are comments or threads, both count towards the threshold amount. Do not spam low-effort posts though unless that fits in with the nature of the respective thread (e.g. posts asking members to post in one word what they are feeling)."

from the thread here. So it just looks like you have to be active for a bit before you can access DMs.

 

[traumer]

18F TR recovering from an eating disorder and self harm. I would like to chat and play some games with someone who understands being in your lowest and not judge you. I'm a great listener and can listen to you whatever you want to tell me abt! I never judge anyone and want to give them a chance because everyone needs one. Also i'm dyslexic and have understanding issues but hope that won't be a problem. I like drawing, playing games and listening to music. My favorite artists are Ethel Cain, Julia Jacklin and anything similar. I play league way too often these days (tr server) ahahdhsa but my fave is slay the princess

I'm really struggling right now with isolation, and it might help to talk to someone fairly regularly

I feel like what's easiest for me to talk about are philosophical topics, or pretty mundane-seeming things (like my mood or how the day went)

For better or worse, it's easiest for me talk about the big big things (or the seemingly insignificant) lol

Due to trauma, it's hard for me to talk about media (TV, movies, books, news/current events, etc.) right now.

I've purposely been avoiding this stuff for my own well-being, which I could perhaps explain to the right person over time

Otherwise, I don't really consider much off-limits

As long as you're respectful and have decent boundaries (e.g., no hitting on each other), I'm open to connecting

I think I have a good baseline understanding of psychology, so I'm open to sharing concepts and ideas I've encountered (and vice versa)

So, please shoot me a PM if any of this resonates

Thank you!
I'd be open to possibly connecting. I don't know how to PM you, but feel free to send me a PM if interested

Ah makes sense ! Thank you . Guess I'll be back when I've contributed enough!

For sure

I haven't posted much yet either, so it's possible it's on my end as much as anything.

For now, I'll just try to reply to things posted in the open :)
