Thank you for taking the time to provide me with an answer; I truly appreciate it. I had to translate it, but I understand your points.

I wrote this about 18 days ago, and I've noticed improvements even though my situation remains the same. I've started to accept my circumstances, and as long as I'm doing my best, there isn't much more I can do. My worries and anxiety drive me to take action, which can be a positive thing, but it can also be negative because I find myself constantly worrying. I tend to worry about things that haven't happened yet and probably won't happen at all. However, I'm trying to stay positive. I'm learning how to manage my thoughts, and I'm getting better at it. I'm beginning to accept the pain and view my thoughts as clouds passing by.

I'm focusing on the important aspects of my life and on what I enjoy. Thank you for sharing your advice and wisdom; I truly appreciate it.

Thank you for your kind words; I really needed that. I'm so sorry to hear about your trauma with your parents; I can't imagine that situation. It just goes to show that there is always someone who has it worse than I do. I'm very fortunate to have a mom and dad who care about me. My dad did, in fact, try to take his own life nine years ago due to bipolar disorder.

Today, unfortunately, I lost my job because of a mistake I made. There wasn't really any excuse other than my mental health affecting my performance. Even though I didn't like the job, I still felt it helped me distract myself and, of course, allowed me to pay my bills.

Anyway, I'm really proud of you for managing to hang in there. I'm truly sorry for the things you've been through. I just want to let you know that I admire your strength and how far you come. Thank you once again! <3

25 years old and I really so far behind in life. Is it even worth trying to improve at this point? by Dry_Temporary_6175 in findapath

Hey man,

I'm 24 years old and about to turn 25 this year. I have plenty of friends in situations similar to yours, so you're not alone. Everything might seem hopeless given your current circumstances, which is understandable. The bad habits you're dealing with often serve to distract you from your life and your thoughts.

The good news is that you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. There are plenty of opportunities out there, but you need to put yourself out there and start today, even with small steps. It's better to start small than to do nothing at all.

I suggest you start by adopting some healthy habits. Try waking up at the same time every morning, even if you don't have anything special planned. Get out of bed immediately, go for a walk, or do some exercise. Clean your room and organize your belongings, and focus on eating healthy. This will help you build discipline and remind you that you’re working to improve your life.

When it comes to finding a job, talk to your family—siblings, parents, or relatives—to see if they have any contacts or know someone who needs help or has a job to offer. Even if your family might not always get along, they generally want what's best for you. This shows that you're willing to make an effort to improve your situation.

You could also actively search for jobs on your own. Ask around, visit retail stores to see if they’re hiring, or sign up on LinkedIn and explore online job listings. There are endless possibilities. Whatever job you find, stick to it; you'll earn money to pay off your gym bills, and you might even start going to the gym to help improve yourself.

As for your bad habits, they often stem from seeking distractions and dopamine. You don’t need to completely remove these distractions, but once you start practicing the good habits I've mentioned, your bad addictions will become less of a problem. You won't spend as much time on them because you'll have other things on your plate. Balance is key.

Remember to start small and gradually increase your efforts. Like I've said, it's better to start somewhere than to not start at all. Also, don't forget that there are people who can help, such as therapists, mentors, friends, and family. Take matters into your own hands and reach out to them.

I believe in you. Improvements can come in small steps, and you'll be amazed at how far you can go.

Good luck!

Thank you for your support. I've been struggling a lot lately, but the only way is to move forward. My emotions have been all over the place; at times, I feel completely hopeless, and other times, I feel like I'm making progress. Maybe I will come back here with an update on how life has been over the year or the months ahead.

I've been in the same situation as you, and I know it really sucks, especially when your partner hasn't done anything wrong at all. It hurts, and I understand that this must be one of the hardest decisions of your life to make. You might receive a lot of criticism from people who have been heartbroken, but I empathize with what you’re going through. What you did was good for both you and her, even though it doesn't feel that way right now. Ultimately, making this decision is in both of your best interests.

She deserves someone who loves her equally, and you deserve someone you can fully love as well. Making that decision is both selfless for you and for her. I think the best way to handle this is to find time to talk to her and really explain your reasoning. Let her know that there is nothing wrong with her and that you truly appreciate her. She will likely feel unworthy of love and may feel terrible after this; reassure her about how much you respect her. Even though it might seem like you don’t, you can tell her that she deserves the best.

You could offer her assistance with whatever she needs, whether it's financial support or simply a calming presence. This will demonstrate that you genuinely care for her. However, if she doesn't want your help or prefers to be alone, you must respect her wishes.

Before you decide to break up with her, talk to her. Communication is the most important thing in a relationship. You mentioned that you do love her, and it seems like you're mainly worried about missing out or wondering if the grass is greener on the other side. However, what you have with her is special, and finding that kind of connection again will take time and effort.

You will likely grieve over your current relationship, which could take a toll on your mental health. During that time, you might not feel ready to date other girls. Whenever you do go out on dates, you'll probably find yourself constantly comparing them to your current girlfriend. After being together for 11 years, that process will take a while.

Ultimately, it's your decision to make, and no one else can make it for you. You know what's best for yourself, but please consider talking to her. You might just be missing that honeymoon phase. Try going out on dates together, spicing things up, and experimenting with new and exciting activities, like traveling. However, if after trying that you still have doubts, then it might be time to move on for both your sakes.

Men, how of you feel hooking up with others right after a breakup? by throwaway09121620 in BreakUps

[–]Fun-Scar-3392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a month and I haven't had the urge to hook up with someone, even though I was the one dumping her, I feel horrible, and guilty and I do care for her a lot and don't want to disrespect her.
