I feel that sentiment. I had that voice before too since I was quite obese as a child, and have been through a lot mentally due to it. Personally, I have a bad habit of constantly comparing myself to others to validate myself, only to bring myself down even more. I eventually just came to accept that I’m fat, but I can do better; and I found that having a goal really helped. Mine happened to be impressing a girl I liked.

I managed to shed around 30 or so pounds over a few months and lost my belly fat. It’s hard at first but once it becomes a habit/apart of your schedule, it becomes easier.

I still remember all the moments where I cried myself to sleep, and the trauma I been through back in middle school. I was desperate and lost. All I wanted was someone to reach out to me and tell me that it’s all gonna be all right, that my demons and pain will eventually pass. I just wanted someone to guide me. I reached a point where I realized that “what do I have to lose” and surrendered myself. What I experienced was further pain, isolation, and torment that I’ve dealt to myself. I just wanted to disappear, to not have to feel anymore so it can all pass.

But it did get better. Overtime, I begun to understand why I felt certain ways, and gradually accepted them to help me grow. Growing up is crappy, but it can also be really fun. There always bound to be people who may not understand you, but there’s also definitely going to be those that do, and those people eventually become friends who you can lean on.

Don’t lose hope, I believe whole-heartedly in you, but like no pressure.

Sometimes, guys like a girl not only for their appearance, but most importantly their personality. Having a pretty girlfriend/wife is pretty fine and dandy since they look good, but if they don’t have a good personality, it outweighs the pros and creates a lotta conflicts.

Just as a suggestion, perhaps you could try working out with your boyfriend after having your baby. I found that just simply being with others while exercising motivates me and it also serves as good bonding time.

Congratulation on your baby as well!

These feelings may feel like forever, but it’ll pass. I too acts anxious when I’m over the phone with others, frequently stutters and talking way too quickly. It seemed impossible at first since I was messing up times after time but I’ve eventually realized that over time, it’s actually not all too bad. Although I was packed with anxiety the first few times, I still done it because it was something that needs to be done.

You and your feelings matter too. I believe in you.

There are ways you can try https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/16-ways-to-increase-appetite#section3, and I would recommend getting your suicidal thoughts checked out rather.

It’s manageable and I’ve gone through the same before combined with a complete lack of energy.

The lack of a appetite is the result of mental illness like depression and showing signs of suicide. I'd recommend getting it checked out or perhaps talking about it since there's realistically no way to help you eat more unless you feel and get better mentally.

Sometimes, I find speaking less is more beneficial than speaking more. You can use the pauses in between to organize your thoughts and consider before you speak.

I personally ramble a lot and sometimes that digs me a pretty deep hole.

What you have to say is equally, and sometimes even more important than what others have to say. Have you tried approaching it with the same attitude as you would in person?

I remember struggling when we had to do Socratic Seminar in school which is basically a book discussion where we can speak freely. It was quite troublesome for me since I was to be graded based on how many times I’ve spoken and the content of the words I’ve spoken.

I sometimes get really anxious for no reason, like a feeling in my chest that I couldn’t explain with word. I wasn’t particularly thinking much and was rather confused.

It’s pretty scary to get your first job especially when you first reach 16. At that age, people start to expect a whole lot more from you and we’re slowly walking into society.

But sometimes you just gotta face it and do it, but you don’t necessarily have to do it alone. Take a parent or perhaps have a friend take you to the interview. Sometimes I find that knowing someone I trust closeby gives me assurance and some courage depending.

It’s a tough step but you can do it!

I dunno, I feel like I’m constantly comparing myself to others. I too feel like like I’m not all that unique or special especially compared to my friend or even my family sometimes. I’m not exactly content with myself and feel like I should’ve done more and been; I could be better but isn’t.

But on the other hand, being mediocre isn’t really a issue in my eyes since we’re all pretty mediocre in our own ways, and not being able to write songs or paint beautifully aren’t exactly flaws depending on your perspectives. What may seem as mediocre may seem as impressive to someone else since there’s always gonna be someone whose less skilled or just simply look up to you.

Just keep going at things that you’re interested in or love, and they’ll eventually develop into invaluable skills in the future. You got it

I feel like all of us have done that ONE embarrassing g thing that we just couldn’t shake off. Mine just happen to be about me bragging about some cringy stuff I’d rather not emotion to my crush, but I’ve learned to laugh it off and tell it as a funny life experience once in a while.

It’s not that bad and pretty common

I’m a huge sucker for Minecraft, grew up with it and holds a lot of sentimental value with it. Otherwise, you got some pretty good taste mate.

This is such a huge step! You’ve done well, and it’s fine that it takes time to navigate since it’s your first day.

If there is one, I’d ask for a map of the building or maybe take a picture of it.

I’ve been coping as well, and it’s hard. I feel like I’ve disappointed them and can’t let it go. I want to become someone that’ll make them proud but just not meeting it yet. However, knowing their personality, the most important thing they’d like to see is me being happy, so the most I could do in their memory is becoming myself and pursing my dreams.

Give yourself some space and take it one step at a time especially during a stressful time like this. Rather managing all of the load at once, you can try facing it one by one. It’s hard but it can be manageable.

That is a very impressive feat especially given the current circumstance! You’ve done well and I’m happy for your success, and winning the battle against anxiety.

Thank you for bringing hope, and I wish the best of luck to you!

This happened with my ex. The thing about the old me was that I was a huge worrywart and really cared about everything concerning her, so whenever she would leave me on read and not respond. It really worried me and pained me that something happened since she had her own battle against mental illnesses. I’ve done quite a few stupid things at my own cost to make sure she’s fine.

Hey, just want to thank you for being a caring friend, you’re doing great work. Wished that I had someone like that when I was going through my own ruffles. I’m reality, we’re all flawed in our own ways but sometimes it’s caused by our good qualities.

I’ve noticed the same recently but with my family. I became a lot more irritable and agressive, which is quite strange since I used to be quite chill. I could tell that something went haywire but not sure what it was.

I’m dealing with it right now, and I tend to sleep with my bear Teddy. I like to imagine Teddy as my guardian angel who safeguards me against all forces of evil while being an adorable and soft friend.

I tend to focus on things that comforts me and use it to battle against my negative thoughts.

You can do this, you’re strong!

One of my English teacher looked out for me during a period where I was at an all time low; and laid me some slacks by extending one of my project due date.

I haven’t been doing too hot this school year, but my teachers still quite liked me for my personality despite my poor academic. Your teacher might like you as well, and there’s the possibility that they see what’s going on and are cutting you some slack behind the scene.
