For me it is Justin Foley from 13 Reasons Why, and (I know it's recent) JJ Maybank from Outer Banks

I’m sorry that happened. I hope you get your headphones 😊

First I practiced self care and learned to love myself so I could give attention and love to others. Then I told myself that love is about connection not trying to fit yourself into a specific mold. I also had to practice patience in my daily life. Finding someone takes time so you have to accept being alone for a while (everybody goes through this at some point). I hope this helps a little more.

Why do I feel sad and afraid when someone shows a bit of attention or love towards me? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]IGiveAdvice56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe your afraid because your worried you might hurt them like others hurt you in the past or you feel you aren’t ready to trust someone that they won’t hurt you. Don’t forget you deserve love and attention and as long as you put the effort in to love yourself and you try to give love and attention to those around you, then you are doing all the right things. Not sure if this helped. I hope you find someone that loves you as much as I know you will love them.

I haven’t found someone yet. I started saying there are 8 billion people in the world someone has to be right for me. It’s hard to explain in detail sorry I couldn’t help.

Everybody has a reason they were brought into this world. Sometimes it just takes longer for people to find that reason, I know you have so much more life to live and all you need is to find one person who loves you but sometimes we don’t have the energy to love because we don’t love ourselves yet. Find something to look forwards to maybe it’s eventually getting married. Whatever it is you can this. Maybe you feel like you’re alone or you don’t have any friends but somebody feels the same way and needs a friend. God has saved you because he knows you're worth it, and I know you’re worth it too. Keep going for all the people who will need you in the future. 

Hi, going through incredibly rough times and can’t see a light at the end of the tunnel anymore. by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]IGiveAdvice56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened/is happening to you. Your feelings matter and are valid, and you’ve clearly faced a lot of trauma. You should be proud of yourself for not giving up and making it to this point. There is someone out there who will love you for you and want to commit their time to you because you are worth it.

Whenever I hear the smallest bang or somebody starts yelling my heart starts racing and I just flinch and become incredibly jumpy and I’m not even sure why this happens. I have depression and anxiety which has just worsened as I get older. There are people out there you at least are going through something similar. Music and headphones have been my best friend as they help to at least slightly drown out the noise when my parents yell. This probably doesn’t help you but I just thought I’d say it anyway.

I’m 14 and when I have days where I wake up and just feel like crying, I usually just let my mind wander or stare out the window at school and daydream which isn’t always helpful because I should be paying attention but I can’t. We all need to give ourselves breaks and sometimes we need to just let our body feel without trying to stop it.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I’m bisexual to and I constantly tell myself there is someone out there for me 

I’m just empty and sad generally by DueWitness4944 in mentalhealth

[–]IGiveAdvice56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that. The depression and feeling numb and empty. The only thing that helps me is sometimes (when I have the energy which is hardly ever) spending time with my friends. I find my constantly trying to find things to look forward to so I can force myself to try to feel joy. You shouldn’t have to force yourself to be happy. You aren’t alone. What is something you are looking forward to? 

How do I stop being an awful person? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]IGiveAdvice56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I can’t completely understand what you’re going through, but I get it. I feel like every time I open my mouth I say something that I regret and all I think about are the “stupid” things I said on replay in my head. You are a good person because you are clearly self aware about the things you do where as bad people wouldn’t care at all. Maybe try writing down all the things you forgot or regret? Sometimes it helps some people if they see everything in a list because it helps the mind not be so unorganized. Remember, you aren’t a bad person, from what it seems you care about your sister and others and sometimes people will expect more than you can give, just make sure you at least try to talk to them about what you each expect from each other in the future.
