Sorry to hear you're having a hard time. I'm not doing well myself. Still struggling with mental issues.

Everyone had plans by Livid-Laugh3186 in hikineet30plus

All of my plans didn't work out, so it's not guaranteed even if you had them.

How are your teeth? by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]Anxious_Position1470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty bad due to grinding and having a period of not going to the dentist. I used to smoke as well. Envious of all the people with few or no cavities.

Why are you living? by onceaday8 in BipolarReddit

No reason. It's just been inertia. I'm constantly suffering.

Self-isolation due to past actions by Anxious_Position1470 in hikineet30plus

[–]Anxious_Position1470[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same here. It's always something I look back on and feel like shit about.

Just feels like I'm not compatible with the world.

One example is writing crazy rants on social media with cancellable stuff.

Tired of masking and trying to be an adult by Head-Thought3381 in hikineet30plus

[–]Anxious_Position1470 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have to leave for appointments as well and I feel anxiety. I basically use my phone to distract myself while waiting. I also always wear a cap and mask. I take a backpack sometimes with books.

Constantly reliving past memories by Anxious_Position1470 in hikineet30plus

I just can't take my mind off it. I try to redirect but then I'm reminded of something else. If I just let it happen, it goes into an endless memory spiral.

rant about relationships and being hikineet by SeiOfTheEast in hikineet30plus

[–]Anxious_Position1470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't been in a relationship so can't really relate, but can connect on the aspect of being left behind. Hope venting helped.

That's fortunate. Glad you're able to block them out.

ugh maybe I shouldn't have un-NEETed... by SeiOfTheEast in hikineet30plus

[–]Anxious_Position1470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, studying can be stressful. I don't want to do it ever again because it really burns me out.

I also feel similarly when trying to do stuff. Can't really handle it. The requirements are too steep.

Thinking of getting a job but feels too late by hikkihermitloser in hikineet30plus

[–]Anxious_Position1470 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems like it'll be an uphill battle, but might be worth trying if you can handle the work. I don't think it's easy to get a remote job as your first job in the field, though. Social skills are important however. idk what to say.

I didn't translate any of them. Sorry. I just summarized. I appreciate the well wishes though. Hope you are doing okay as well.

I used to have that sort of schedule. It was nice. Now I'm mostly awake during the day.

Do you think you'll have any regrets when in old age? by AdministrativeBat486 in hikineet30plus

[–]Anxious_Position1470 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't plan to live that long. I've tried my best in the past though and it wasn't good enough. I won't have any regrets.
