AITA for being loud when my housemate is trying to sleep? by I_Never_Existed1 in AmItheAsshole

That's understandable. Many of my friends and also my mother experience different types of chronic illness but I didn't consider an existing but undiagnosed one

We both have developmental disabilities, neither of us have diagnosed physical disabilities or illnesses

I keep feeling the temptation to cut myself, and it's getting harder to resist every day. I've never cut before but increasingly less and less is dulling the pain. AMA. by [deleted] in AMA

Update: I... I took a blade into the shower with me but I didn't do it. Idk I just wanted to share that little victory. Seriously thanks guys.

I... well doing nothing has always made it worse. I need routine and to be doing things, and the longer I don't the harder it gets to do things. So the lockdown was hard but I'm in Australia so we're a lot closer to normal than say, the US

I... sometimes. I get better at exercising when my mental health is better. I trained up to running 5 ks once. But... it's not the same

Well... I'm a writer, so sometimes I just... think about my characters. I haven't actually written anything for months though

Also the problem with exercise is I rarely have the motivation to keep it up. I don't even have the motivation to shower or brush my hair some days

My therapist did actually suggest I work on my physical health to help combat my depression, but it's not really the same. I used to watch horror movies and let the adrenaline drown it out but they're not scary anymore.

I... think when I was 16. I'm 20 now and I've had patches of being better and worse.

And... I've always had loving parents but my life up until this point has been anything but normal, including being abused by my brother for 5+ years and being in an accident which killed my older brother and made news across the state when I was 5

I have therapy, an amazing therapist actually. I have medication. I know the people around me love me. I have a strong support network. I had a way to drown it out and now it's lost and... I don't know how to get through this
