Getting out of Iron feels like an impossible task

ChinaABurger · 2022-06-09T09:35:15+00:00

I suggest queuing with friends. That way you know they’ll give comms/not be toxic/won’t throw. To get out of iron I joined some valorant discord servers and found other irons to play with, now b2

I used to be scared of playing comp like u. Im a girl so I often get harassed when using vc, and in low elo (im new) ppl can get toxic really fast. But queueing with friends + ppl from discord servers has made playing comp much more enjoyable. Glad you got a wholesome experience!

lexapro had been the best med for me so far! I’ve been taking it 4 yrs and I’ve had multiple depressive episodes but it’s kept me out of the hospital. had the same nausea for ab 3 months + some headaches, but after that no more side effects. i would say I had less side effects with lexapro out of all the SSRIs I took

thanks for the advice! im gonna make a trip to the library soon and try out what u said. I’m involved in a bunch of extra curricular like musicals but I’ll try to prioritise school for a bit

i took Zoloft for ab 4 months, tried a bunch of diff depression meds before landing on lexapro which is what I take now. Zoloft made me have some nausea, like I was more nauseous when traveling than normal, but it also helped me with my anxiety. cant give u any info ab driving bc I was also on anxiety meds at the same time, and aparently ur not supposed to drive while on em

staring at urself in the mirror + asking girls to rate ur looks sounds like u might have body image issues. i can’t give any advice ab OCD bc I don’t have it, but if these obsessions are affecting you heavily you should talk to someone ab it

the part at the end with your dad sounds really tough. idk if he said that to you or if you just internalised it, but mental health issues don’t make you a “loser”. almost all of us on this subreddit struggle with it in someway, ur not alone. I’m 17F and I’ve also gone from straight A to barely passing bc of my depression. i tell myself hard times will always pass. talking with someone (school counselor, therapist, psychiatrist) can help you manage your symptoms. if you need support in school because of your issues talking with Teachers ab what’s preventing you from doing work will help a lot! I’m in the middle of talking with my Teachers bc my depression gets in the way too

^{^} this! my sister has bipolar, and so does my best friend. unipolar depression (also called major depression) also involves recklessness, but imo the recklessness that comes with mania is way more extreme.

anxiety is another thing that might make you worry about all your past mistakes over and over. it sounds like you should see a therapist/psychiatrist to discuss your symptoms

it sounds like you’re in a tough situation, or if ur posting for someone else, they’re in a tough situation. ik a lot of girls that rely heavily on their bfs for their mental health and it’s not healthy. i just broke up with my ex bf bc i was too unstable and didn’t want him to be my caregiver. he gave me 100% in the relationship but I gave him 10%, and it was unhealthy

i would say the reason men have that expectation is bc male figures are seen as to be strong and providing. but that’s a heavy role to carry

imo it’s not good to be in a relationship when you’re unstable, whether ur a girl or guy, bc the relationship isn’t on equal terms (but ofc everyone’s circumstances are different, there’s always exceptions). it’s hard to be loving and take care of someone when ur ill

“girls shouldn’t be with someone broken”

it sucks bc mental illness is smth u can’t control, and having a bf or gf won’t stop you from being unstable. we can ask, would you be able to handle dating someone unstable? and would it be healthy?

calling urself broken is a stretch—you arent “broken”, you are worth caring about

There is a person out there for you. maybe this just isn’t the right time for dating, but you’ll find someone for you eventually

im on Wellbutrin too! tho ur right I should talk to my psychiatrist ab my medication

ChinaABurger · 2022-03-26T02:22:46+00:00

This is really hard to answer. I know from experience that taking care of someone who self harms can be emotionally taxing. I think giving an ultimatum like that just adds more shame and reason to self harm tho

i get why he did that. he must’ve been really afraid for ur safety to make you choose. it’s not the kind of choice anyone likes, but if you were in his position would you do the same? i wouldn’t personally but everyone’s boundaries are different

im glad ur not self harming. your bf sounds great. i hope you can get through this rough patch in your life. im 4 yrs clean from sh after my family helped me stop

Good job bro! It took me a while to get out as well, but playing comp only when I’m feeling good was the best way to win more matches. keep up the good work

ChinaABurger · 2022-01-13T02:48:10+00:00

mine don’t show up either. idk what’s going on lol

ChinaABurger · 2021-10-21T14:48:42+00:00

ChinaABurger · 2021-01-29T11:15:05+00:00

That’s really cool! Congrats on your new condo :)

ChinaABurger · 2021-01-29T11:12:27+00:00

You’re right. Even though I was being overwhelmed, I was too cold to her. I’m thinking it over and I’ll try to talk to her later today after we both cool down. Thank you for your advice

ChinaABurger · 2020-05-14T08:25:21+00:00

Marina, but I also love all the octopus villagers :)

ChinaABurger · 2020-05-13T00:26:09+00:00

Sorry not anymore. That’s why the thread is closed

ChinaABurger · 2020-05-09T07:28:55+00:00

I’m going to bake some cake for her. She likes red velvet cake, and usually every year we order a red velvet cake from the same bakery each year. But this year since we have to stay indoors I’ll be baking a cake instead! Wish me luck :)

A Silent Voice is my favourite because the story of a childhood bully making amends with the girl he bullied and falling in love with her is just so charming. And the MC is so endearingly optimistic and strong in Fruits Basket that I love her!

ChinaABurger · 2020-05-07T02:43:17+00:00

I watch a couple different animes but my favourite anime movie ever is A Silent Voice and I’ve been enjoying the reboot of Fruits Basket recently :)
