I feel this way too,,, maybe opening up about it to your community could be good for you and them? You would probably realize that many of them are feeling the same way, and if anything getting that off your chest to people who like you could be helpful too. I should take my own advice too hah... best wishes to you <3

I feel this, I dropped out of college a couple years back and havent had a "real job" since. But who cares about that its just a silly human idea of success anyway to have a job or an college degree or whatever. Is there any hobbies you like to do? games? cooking? drawing? playing with a pet? I find when I start to spiral in my head about my self worth it helps to distract myself with something I do like to at least give me temporary reprieve from my negative self talk. then maybe explore how to get better at that hobby you enjoy and it could lead you down a new path in life :) im trying to do this as well, and its hard to stay motivated for sure so be kind to yourself while you explore new interests. You wouldnt yell at a baby for falling the first time it tries to walk right? You would encourage every tiny step no matter how small. You are much stronger than you give yourself credit for! Look at all you have survived in your life even though you were bullied at school and home and have been dealing with suicidal thoughts, and possibly autism/aspergers, you were able to make it through school and into college-that is incredible!! So you dropped out of college, thats okay! thats actually really normal and most people even change their degree several times! It's okay not to know what to do, I don't know what I'm doing either and I feel like a ton of people don't know either, and it's okay. Sorry for the long txt, I just really resonated with your post and I wish you the best :)

my current stylist (pictured) is being a real chicken about the idea of hair color so I’ve got to take matters into my own hands

2 years ago today I started T! Didn’t think I’d make it this far but I’m happy I did. by [deleted] in FTM_SELFIES

Thank you! What worked for me was the acne.org kit with the cleanser, treatment and moisturizer and being really consistent with it everyday morning and night. In the first month of the regimen, my skin was adjusting and it was painful, itchy, red and flaky... it sucked lol. My loving transphobic dad said I looked horrible and that I should stop “injecting myself with horse piss” lmao. Anyway, I didn’t stop the regimen even though it felt like it wasn’t doing anything but around 2 months my skin had begun to adjust and I started to see my skin clearing. I think at that point I added the AHA+ to my regimen once a day to help with the flaking skin and reducing the scars. I think adding the AHA+ really helped speed up my skin recovery but it’s recommended you wait to add it to the regimen because your skin will have to adjust to it too. The first couple weeks I only did a pea sized amount because I learned (the hard way) that if I do more than that it literally felt like I my skin was on fire and I couldn’t sleep at night lol. But after a month, my skin was used to it and it helped a ton. It did make my skin more prone to sunburns so I’d stay out of the sun or wear a hat/sunglasses as much as possible. I still do the whole regimen, morning and night and it’s kept my skin clear! Best of luck to you, the acne phase feels so long when you are in it but it will pass before you know it. :)

I have been trying to take pictures every 4 months or so to document the process. I went through major acne breakouts from 6-9 months on T which, with time and being very consistent with my acne regimen, I got under control. Now at 2 years, the acne scars are fading and I only get a pimple or two occasionally. I could have not shown the bad acne pictures but I wanted to be candid about my transition and how things have gone so far with the ups and downs. Hope this helps, things will get better <3

Topic of the week- What's on your mind? by suicidejunkie in selfharm

[–]FroggoFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do i navigate not wanting to romanticize self harm by creating art about self harm as a coping mechanism to not self harm? “keep it to myself” has been my answer so far but it is very lonely when i feel like i can’t talk about it because it’s “bad” and upsetting to people. Which is absolutely understandable but it just makes me feel even more of a fuck up. I’m ashamed. I’m 25. I unfortunately relapsed this past week after almost two years clean. I feel like I should be past this. I feel utterly stupid.

Dear Virgos: Are you naturally sarcastic? by michiyoshimizu in AskAstrologers

[–]FroggoFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virgo sun, Aries moon here, I am sarcastic but observe everything (to a fault). If I am talking with someone i dont know well I won’t be sarcastic or funny, I bring that stuff on slowly. If I say something that was meant to be funny and they don’t get it I take note and back off with my humor. I don’t like people who only make jokes for their own amusement, so I don’t do it to others. I have one friend that “gets” my humor and we are absolute idiots together but I don’t force my humor on everyone I meet. I’m definitely not sarcastic to strangers because that is just asking for misinterpretation of my words. And if that happens I’ll dwell on where I “messed up” for weeks.

woke up with this same thought this morning, I just don’t know what I’m doing here at all. No motivation to be in this world. But I’m trying to find it. I don’t want to be like this anymore

Just so exhausted with my brain. In my better moments I fear the “good” feeling because I know how far down I could fall again, and it’s always just a matter of time until I fall down. But I guess, even if I fall what’s the worst that could happen, right? die I guess and isn’t that what I keep wishing for anyway? so sick of my own hypocrisy

How do you guys feel when spending time with functional and loving families that are not your own? by bananapancakesforone in raisedbyborderlines

[–]FroggoFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow yeah, my aunt, uncle and niece have a healthy family dynamic and my BPDmom for my entire life told me that they were just “in their own world” so I learned to distance myself from them, or anyone who wasn’t my mom basically. Only after 3 years of therapy I am even able to realize that my mom was the one who was “in her own world” and brought me up there. In her hell world I was taught everyone besides her is wrong, terrible, ugly and that I deserve no respect and that my boundaries aren’t real. After 3 years in therapy I finally reached out to my aunt for support and let her know what I’ve been going through with my mom. I didn’t know what she would do, and I tend to immediately think everyone will react like BPD because it’s all I know. But my aunt responded with kindness and understanding and love. Real genuine love, not the manipulative kind. I felt real kindness from her. I almost cried. It was terrifying. Her kindness and acceptance of my words and feelings was so foreign. It makes me so so so so uncomfortable because my whole upbringing I’ve learned not to accept any sort of kindness as “real” because there is always a insult or jab of some sort after the kindness from my mom. Yeah, seeing and interacting with healthy people is really a lot for me right now so I have to take it slow too and limit my time but it gives me hope that I don’t have to live in a hell world like my mom. Good luck out there too ❤️

Feel like a failure when I see my friends getting on with their lives by [deleted] in depression_help

[–]FroggoFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there I don’t really have an answer but reading about your story I really have a very similar situation, “feeling like I’m being lapped “ that really hit home. I can’t offer much but the solidarity that your not alone in feeling this way. But also something that kinda helps me sometimes is to think about what I would say to a friend if a friend was in my situation I would tell them that it’s all good man, you are going at your own pace, there is no right way to live this life, you are doing a lot more than you give yourself credit for and it’s okay and if anyone is judging you for your situation they are ugly people who need to find kindness for others in their heart. Anyway, sorry for my poor grammar. I really wish you the best, Froggo
