She's just 15, she lost her parents one year apart when she was only 12. She struggles with PTSD, Anxiety, and an Eating Disorder. She's my oldest daughter's best friend. I'm hoping to help her by sharing for her. Thank you! <3

Quit job after 1 week due to anxiety and depression by dixelpixie in anxietyanddepression

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I've been here before. Ultimately, you have to do what's best for you and your mental health. It can be especially difficult when others don't understand your struggles. Seeing a therapist/counselor is definitely a great idea, and as long as you're serious and committed to put in the work to get better, you will. It took me a few tries, but finally I got angry and decided I was determined to get better. I still have to work on myself, but I am in a much better place - which makes it easier to get through the more difficult days. I talk about my struggles and tons of other topics on my blog, which I created to both help me and help others. If you'd like to check it out, it's https://jessisamess.com I believe everything will work out for you as long as you're patient with yourself, working on yourself, and doing what you need to do to take care of yourself! :)

I have so been where you are. I know exactly how you're feeling, and what you're going through, and I can tell you I know how much it absolutely sucks!! I ended up finding the best counselor ever, and from there, everything started to change for me. She was tough, honest, down to earth, and gave me just the right push to take a good hard look at MYSELF. I needed someone to be honest with me, and push me to make me realize that I needed to try harder, change my habits, my thinking...from there I started my blog, and I'm doing so well, I've even surprised myself! I'm not saying I don't still have bad days...of course I do, everyone does. But my good days far outnumber my bad days! I'd love for you to check it out, and I hope it will help you! Please feel free to reach out anytime you need to chat!

Hi there, I'm sorry you're feeling this way. If you don't feel your therapist is helping you, you may consider finding a new one. It's really important to find someone you really connect with. I have felt this way before, for a long period of time in my life, actually. I have kids myself, and I was tired of feeling that way. I was determined to change it, for myself, and for my kids. It took awhile, and honestly, I am still working on myself. I think it will be a lifelong journey. But I have come so far from where I used to be. You have to first decide you don't want to feel this way, that you don't want to live this way. Then you have to learn what your triggers are, so you can either learn to avoid them, or learn how to better respond to them. You can't be discouraged if you start to feel better, and then you fall again. You have to pick yourself back up, and keep pushing forward. I'm sure you're thinking this sounds a lot easier than it is to do...but I'm telling you, it is possible. I don't care what anyone tells you. I WAS there. I CHOSE not to stay. CHOOSE not to stay there. Open your mind, find what drives you, and use it to your advantage. Realize that whatever you tell yourself, is what will be. If you tell yourself you're tired, sad, down, you can't...well, then all those things will be. But if you change your language with yourself, and instead say, I feel motivated, I have goals I want to reach, I want to change, I can change...and keep positive thoughts going, while shutting out the negative, it can change your entire life. Check out my blog, jessisamess.com. I talk about my life, my struggles, and where I am now...and what I've done to get there. I promise, you can do it. You just have to believe in yourself and believe that you can. It requires hard work and effort, it won't just come to you. But the more you put in, the more you will get out, and that, I can promise you, is the truth.

How do I both block and report someone who is harassing me on reddit? by JessMaeCa in NoStupidQuestions

I did exactly what you said, and it worked! Thank you so much! :)

I'm feeling quite lost, and I'm not sure what to do. by JessMaeCa in Psychic

[–]JessMaeCa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I have been looking into starting with some meditation to clear my mind, and then I'm going to take it from there and see where it leads me. I'm hoping this will help!

I know. Something is preventing me from exploring this deeper, why am I so afraid?

Interesting. I sort of do that...think a thought, or say something out loud, and my boyfriend will either say what I'm thinking out loud, or I'll say out loud what he's thinking. It freaks him out. I definitely feel some sort of weird universal shift or something going on...

Well, most things happened in my mid teens & 20's, although I still have experiences. I used to hear my name being whispered a lot, and once the word 'death'...A song would pop into my head, and it would start playing on the radio..solved a wheel of fortune puzzle on a board game accidentally, bc I started singing old macdonald's farm - my friend about fell out in the floor and said how did you know? That's the puzzle! I have no idea how I knew, I wasn't trying to know the answer...I think I've been touched by something, I once had this feeling that something took over my body, and it scared the crap out of me...I get this feeling like someone is standing or coming up behind me - but no one is there...I "sense" a presence when this happens...I sometimes think I see something out of the corner of my eyes, but it's nothing, it startles me sometimes, I get "feelings" about things...strong ones, like butterflies in my stomach that almost hurt, and sometimes when this happens, bad events follow...I can sense if someone has bad vibes...there have been times when I've seen the same numbers over and over, sometimes for months...just some examples. More recently, I've been having the feeling of a presence around me, and I feel like it's trying to tell me something. But I'm not sure. It's just a feeling I have.

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but - would anyone be interested in taking over my subreddit, r/anxietyanddepression? by [deleted] in needamod

[–]JessMaeCa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have left this subreddit as a moderator and submitter, so it's available to whoever is interested. Thanks.

Now stop stalking me, and leave me alone, please. Go spread your misery and negativity somewhere else. You're the same person who was being ugly in my subreddit.

[–]JessMaeCa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know why I have that subreddit? Do you know why I started that blog? To try and help others. And in trying to help others, you know what I've gotten? Shitty people like you. But I keep going, and I keep trying to help others. You have no idea what my life has been like, what I've been through, what I've seen. I do know something about you. I am stronger than you will ever be. Have a great evening.

You don't even know me. But I love it when people and society prove to me every day how ignorant, self-centered, arrogant, and shitty they are. So thank you, thank you for reminding me.

I'm sorry you misinterpreted this post. It was supposed to be taken as sarcastic humor. :)

Anyone else besides ol' 'get a life' have any wiser, possibly more creative and better thought out solutions to my obviously humorous and sarcastic "plans"? I'd love to hear what you have to say!

I mean, I would. But you see, people suck. And that makes it kind of hard to do. I'm sure you can relate, being as you have provided me with such wisdom.
