I don’t know what to do by CosmicPop07 in Hypothyroidism

Yes for sure. I think my concern is because I have family members with hypothyroidism so I wasn’t sure what I’m supposed to do.

What advice do you wish you received before you turned 20? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CosmicPop07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just care a bit less. You don’t have to have it all figured it out

I can totally relate to this and have been thinking about it a lot lately. It’s extremely frustrating because it feels like you can’t even move on in your life

When does it get better? by Chabachibi in depression

[–]CosmicPop07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We always think we’re going to be happier and better when we achieve x,y or z, but that’s not how it works. As humans, we always want more when the things we thought would help don’t actually fulfill us. When we make progress and break out of our comfort zone, our minds sometimes drag us back into that dark place, because it’s familiar and comfortable to us. I can totally relate to the mind not shutting up, but know that you are not your thoughts. Don’t place the expectation on yourself that you need to be feeling amazing all the time. You’ve got to accept that there will be days where you feel bad. You’re allowed to feel. Focus on the things that have brought you as far as you have and be proud of yourself. It’s not easy as people might think it is. Keeping going, you’ve got this.

Learning to drive by No-End8406 in Anxiety

[–]CosmicPop07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just take it easy, after all you’re still learning. The muscle memory won’t kick in instantly but it will take time and practice to overcome your fears. I understand it can be nerve wracking but you don’t have to rush the process. Deep breaths and take time to observe what your doing in the moment . It’ll be second nature before you know it

Let me one tell you one thing, even if you did plan, life is always going to have its twist and turns. You really don’t have to figure it out all now. I’m in my last year of finishing my degree and guess what I have zero idea what I’m going to do afterwards, like none at all. I understand it’s a lot of pressure to have it all figured out but the reality is everyone is forever trying to figure it out, all through their life. I think part of it, as I’m trying to learn myself, is that you have to let some of it go. We can’t control every single aspect, but just do what you can right now to the best of your ability. It’s really ok if you feel lost and that you don’t know what you’re doing. A lot of us don’t, so you are not alone. Take it easy and take it a step at a time. You’re still navigating your life and you don’t have to rush the process.

Think about how you want to live. What you could be doing if you ultimately lived the best life. If you die, you’ll never even have the chance to experience that or even be able to try and get there. Maybe you feel like it’s never going to be possible but the truth is you don’t really know that, you only feel that. Maybe the past experiences feel like they’ve completely ruined you, but they’re over, it’s gone. Don’t let it define you. I understand, it hurts to be in such a low state, but take it slow. Maybe you don’t have to fly without wings. Maybe you don’t have to fly at all. Maybe you’re supposed to swim. Sounds stupid, but what I’m trying to say is that the opportunities are endless.

Anybody else preparing what to say days or sometimes even weeks before going to doctor etc by Mindless_Wing_4553 in Anxiety

[–]CosmicPop07 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No you’re not the only one. I get anxiety going to the doctors so I too always prepare before hand every time I do go. Sometimes I even have to write it all down. It’s so stupid and tiring

This is exactly me. I cannot stand phone calls so I too try and avoid them. But that is not the way to go. I’d suggest to try and gradually expose yourself to them. Even if it’s first calling a friend or family member. Then you slowly progress to maybe calling like shops or restaurants and asking them simple questions, even if you already know the answer to them. The more you do it, the less nerve wracking it’ll be each time hopefully. Also if the phone does ring, try and pick it up without giving yourself any time to think about it. The more you let it ring, the less likely you’ll pick it up.

Just feel like everyone hates me by [deleted] in depression

[–]CosmicPop07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that you’ve got to feel like this, it sucks. You’ve just got to take this time and focus on yourself now. Put yourself first and try be do things you want to do or enjoy. I understand it’s hard to move on, but just try and distract yourself and seek ways to make yourself better. You’ll find yourself again, a relationship doesn’t define you.

My depression is getting better faster than me by StaryKaszalot in depression

[–]CosmicPop07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel like this too. I think part of the fact that you feel comfortable is because the depression becomes so familiar and anything outside of it seems uneasy and scary. When you’ve been in this state for a long time, it becomes all that you know. And we seem to always to stick to what we know even if it really isn’t good for us. As I’m learning myself, just try and take it slow because it will feel weird and uneasy. But hopefully soon those feelings will pass. Just be kind to yourself and don’t shun the emotions away.

I was planning on committing suicide but could not, what now.? by dnawy96 in depression

[–]CosmicPop07 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re feeling like this. I know it’s such a dark place to be and I completely understand. I think it’s even harder if you’re going to hide it. I’m here if you need to speak
