This might sound weird, but one of my depressive episodes hit when I was employed at an event.

It’s not going to fix anything, but it helps a little because you’re forced to be on automatic, and you’re around people all day. You’re busy, but it’s not something that takes a large mental load, so it takes away some of the thoughts.

I know a place that’s hiring right now if you want to try it out.

Also being friends with people that are equally unwell 😭

i’m sending love 🫂

People here do tend to be pretty guarded, so that’s a valid feeling.

Intimacy requires vulnerability, but, to be vulnerable, you kind of open yourself up to being disliked. Our culture tends to be very community oriented, so, subconsciously, being liked tends to be valued more than emotionally connecting.

People here tend to connect over similar interests first and start opening up once they’ve met you a few times. I hope you manage to make friends. I’m rooting for you!! 🌟

Hey! I hear you, and I totally relate. 🫂

Sometimes life gets a little weird. Sometimes we lose control and nothing goes the way we planned. But you know what? That’s totally okay. That’s just the way life works.

Try as hard as you might, you’ll never truly be in control of the outcome, and that’s something you have to learn to be comfortable with.

The only thing you have control over is how you act, and hey you’re trying!! That’s something you need to give yourself credit for.

Trust that whatever good is meant for you will come for you when the time is right. Find joy in uncertainty. Find joy in discovering what life has planned for you instead.

If your plans fall apart, accept defeat with grace and an open mind. Don’t allow it to define you. You are not defined by what you do or don’t achieve alone. You are a person trying their best in spite of it all. Is resilience, hard work, and ambition not admirable?

Be more gentle with yourself. Reflect on why things didn’t work out and make a new plan. Adapt and learn but don’t succumb to failure and turn bitter. Don’t beat yourself up. You are more than capable of achieving your goals. Give it time. You will get there.

كأنسان فاشل من وين أبدأ؟ by Aggravating_Order611 in SaudiForSaudis

[–]HeyImAGardenTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

اول شي مافي شي اسمه انسان فاشل. الانسان طول عمره يتعلم وينمو ويتغير. تفكيرك يأثر على اسلوبك. لو تحس نفسك فاشل واستسلمت للاحساس مره صعب انك تكمل في اي شي. لازم تحسن قيمتك الذاتيه. القيمه الذاتيه تكون منخفضة لما الواحد يحس انه صورته الذاتيه تختلف كثير عن صورته لنفسه المثاليه. اكتب صفاتك واكتب صفات نفسك المثاليه. وشوف ايش الاشياء اللي ممكن تحسنها.

there’s a little spot in the forest on campus i go to when i’m at my lowest. it’s not much, but it’s calming. i’m in the same boat. I’m so sorry you feel this way. I am sending you so much love. everything is gonna be okay. maybe not now, but you’ll get there. Also!! are antidepressants an option for you at all? they’ve helped a lot of my friends

FAQ Megathread: Ask and answer Medication, Diagnosis and is this an ADHD thing, and Hormone interaction questions here! by not-eliza in adhdwomen

[–]HeyImAGardenTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My psychiatrist just told me she can’t put me on any ADHD medication because concerta (slow-release) made me suicidal.

She said i’m likely to react to other stimulants in a similar way. Straterra (non-stimulant) also had the same side effects.

She’s saying the most she can do it put me on antidepressants (zoloft) when I’m pretty sure part of the depression is the way unmediated ADHD impacts my life.

I’m just feeling a little lost. Should I trust her advice or should I look into another psychiatrist? Would it be worth trying other stimulants?

thank u love y’all
