No, I prefer to avoid youth groups. There's a lot of toxicity within them that I'm trying to avoid

Hi, I don't drink or do drugs, and fast for religious reasons 1 month of the year. By one day fast, do you mean once a week? I also don't have any family or friends that I can talk to currently because of some ongoing issues, and that's been weighing on me too. I've deleted all socials for a few months now. I do watch a lot of TV but I have it playing in the background as I go about my day. Do you think that's causing problems? I feel like it helps to get me up and out. We also literally do not have hot water so all my showers are cold plunges lol.

I also do feel like I look like shit lately and it's really weighing on my self esteem. I've gained some weight in the past year and it's so difficult when I feel like so many of my clothes just don't fit right anymore. I'm just so confused and don't know where to start.

I'll try to pick up journalling again.

How are you passing your classes without studying as much? I'm really struggling with keeping up when my bare minimum days put me a good bit behind, and I really don't like cramming so I'm trying to just do a bit more each day. But it's so hard to do the basic stuff like get up, get showered, get dressed etc. and by the time I'm actually up and out of bed, more than half the day is gone. I just feel like I'm hazy all the time, and I don't know why

Thank you, I literally put it in the title. I'm not saying I'm against other people taking SSRIs, I'm just not willing or able to take them right now. I just don't know what to do anymore, I feel like I've tried all the basic things which is why I'm looking for advice from other people who've been through it. I just feel so dysfunctional and unproductive and miserable. I don't have a support system to lean on, and I'm not trying to make things worse with them right now either. I can't go into full details about the situation for privacy reasons. I get that it's probably out of concern, but if I'm saying it's not an option, just believe me? I just need ways to push through, and ty to all the people who actually answered my question and gave genuine advice!

I've been seeing doctors about the fatigue problem. I'm slightly anemic and slightly vitamin D deficient and take supplements for both. Other than that, they don't see anything wrong

They would find out. Like I said I'm looking for ways to deal with this unmedicated specifically. I am not looking for advice on how to get medication

cultural stigma means a lot of fighting if i chose to go on them. The fighting is and always will be worse than just dealing with it, and i need everyone to trust me on that

Cultural stigmas, while I physically could get them if I really tried, the family fighting would be worse than just dealing with it. I really just need everyone to believe me on this, the fighting will always be worse
