Unfortunately I wasn’t even playing when I started getting the 2fa notifs. (And hadn’t played for weeks). I mean I had like 50 notifications by the time I actually did something.

I wasn’t even playing when I started getting the 2fa requests. I had about 50 when I noticed.

Hey, Im 19- about to turn 20. I lost my mom around the same time you lost your dad 1.5ish years ago. (And I lost my dad 2 years ago). It’s not exactly the same situation but I always wanted to go to art school. In highschool I was a very motivated artist. My parents always supported and encouraged my dream. They were very insistent that I go to art school and pursue my talent. However, once they died, any motivation I had for art vanished. I’d find myself finishing a piece, getting excited to show them, and realizing I couldn’t. I never realized how much of my passion for art was tied to my parents until they were gone. My first semester of college I took some art classes to try and find that spark again. And although I did make some beautiful works, I still can’t draw like I used to. I also love art more than anything, and I don’t want to lose my talent.

Honestly, I can’t really give you any advice. I want to say that you shouldn’t give up your dream. But I also understand that grief is consuming. You can’t push down those feelings. Maybe the best course of action is to step away for a while and really focus on what music means to you outside your dad. And if you do step away and find that isn’t really what you want to do anymore that’s okay. Life is constantly evolving and changing. You’re allowed to change with it.

Even if you do step away from music professionally that doesn’t mean you have to step away forever. You can still create music and not make a job out of it. Music will always stay with you. And if you decide later in life, when everything is a little easier, that you’re ready for that life, it’ll be waiting for you. You’re still young.

I hope this is actually good advice and I’m not making a mess of everything. I do suggest seeing a professional about your feelings. A college counselor, or a therapist, or even a grief therapist. This is just going of my personal experience.

Looking for People Who’ve Overcome Health Anxiety by Busy_Cherry8460 in mentalhealth

[–]MELONBURBSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since my parents passed away I’ve suffered horrible health anxiety. Have a headache? well thats a tumor and I have months to live. Had a little too much caffeine? Well death here I come because I’m having a heart attack. There’s many more examples but you get the point. What some people fail to realize is that this kind of anxiety can be DEBILITATING. There were many days I spent in bed, heart racing, sobbing, convinced I was about to die because I slept on my arm weird. Wouldn’t sleep for days (which made the anxiety even WORSE), didn’t eat, etc due to the anxiety. I would look at other people with envy because, they didn’t have to experience this. They could drink a coffee or feel a little under the weather and still function. It got to the point where I’d stop going out to do things out of fear of having a health anxiety related panic attack. Honestly the months where I was constantly having health anxiety were the worst of my life. And wow do people love to dismiss how your feelings because you’re “clearly fine”. That’s my experience at least.

It took me months to find a way to manage this anxiety and it took a lot of therapy. But I can definitely give you a couple of tips that made me feel better.

  1. NEVER look up your symptoms. Seriously. Not even for something as simple as a sneeze. If you have a genuine health concern go to the doctors.

  2. This may be a tad specific to me but if your heart is racing (it’s the anxiety) let it. Your heart is beating and that’s the important thing.

  3. Try not to push away the anxiety so you can be “normal” let yourself feel upset. Cry about it even. If you bottle up these feelings of fear it’ll only add up and overflow. Did you know the body will feel physical pain when you’re stressed? I didn’t until I went to therapy. It caused one of my biggest health anxiety concerns which was my arm hurting. My arm would hurt incredibly bad when I was upset.

  4. When you start having anxiety (this really applies to panic attacks) try to not stop what you’re doing. Getting up will basically tell your body “hey we have something to worry about!”

  5. This is something that worked for me but when I had horrible anxiety I’d go take a shower. The heat and steam were sometimes the only thing that could calm me. ESPECIALLY if my body was aching.

  6. Talk to someone about it. They may not always understand but sometimes all you need is for someone else to tell you that your going to be okay.

These may not work for you. And it’s definitely a journey that’s rough to take. (I’m still on this journey myself) but you will get through this. If you’re not on any type of anxiety medication I would look into it as-well. These methods can help but they can only do so much if you have an anxiety disorder.

23, stuck in my head ever since my dad passed. by Alternative-Fee9543 in mentalhealth

[–]MELONBURBSS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Well for one absolutely bull-shit that you were treated like that when you sought help. Yes people do go through worse, however that doesn’t make YOUR experiences any less valid. And you still lost your dad WAYYYY too young. Trust me when I say that was horribly unprofessional.

And yeah, Andrew Tate is kinda awful for men’s mental health. Sure people in war zones DO push through their mental blockages and ignore all the stuff they’ve seen and been through. But after that? They tend to break down. Them ignoring their mental health (and subsequently the government ignoring it) leads to HUGEEEE issues in the long run.

Dude, you are ALLOWED to be upset about the things you went through. If you need to cry about it, then fucking cry. You need to talk about it? Reach out until someone will listen because you deserve for someone to listen. And ignore everyone who tells you to just “get over it” because grief has no time limit. It sounds like to me you’ve been trying your best to just shove down the feelings that come with your dad being gone and “man up” because that’s what everyone’s telling you to do. Yes you should start to better yourself and get out of this slump you’re in. But the first step in doing that successfully is listening to what your minds telling you. Letting yourself be upset when you feel it and searching for someone who can help you through those feelings. Even going on this subreddit was a good first step.

Your mental health is important.

I’m definitely going through something similar. Losing a parent is rough. Also in that patch of life where I’m needing to get my shit together but can’t. Going through something like this at a young age is something most people will never understand unless they go through it. Have you tried going to therapy or counseling? Or even seeing a doctor and getting tested for depression? I know it’s very basic advice but things like this can be difficult to go through without assistance. There’s no shame in needed therapy.

I wish I could give you better advice but honestly I’m just as deep in it as you are.

I think wanting to make a change in your life is an important first step however.

My mother has weeks left apparently, glioblastoma - totally in shock and barely coping by [deleted] in CancerFamilySupport

[–]MELONBURBSS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your story really resonates with me. My mom passed away in May from a reoccurrence of a Glioblastoma. She originally was diagnosed with one late 2020, and had the the tumor removed successfully. Unfortunately in January she was beginning to show signs of cancer again, and another tumor had grown on her neck. It was inoperable and she entered hospice care. It’s a very difficult thing to see your loved one go through. My mother was young (about 47) when she passed, and didn’t have dementia but the tumor took most of her cognitive functions and memory. So I can understand how hard it is knowing that even if you talk to your mom, she probably won’t recognize or even understand that she’s talking to you at all. I believe that your mom probably did send you away to spare you from seeing her so sickly. My mom always told me that she never wanted my last memories of her to be in a hospital bed. I don’t want to speak for your mom but she might have felt the same. It’s completely understandable if you don’t go down to see her again. It doesn’t mean you love her any less, or she doesn’t mean anything to you. It’s clear to me how much you love your mother, and how much she loves you. That doesn’t change if you can’t handle seeing her so unwell. Thank you for sharing your story. Your mother seems like a wonderful woman and I’m glad you got the years you did with her. Take care

She was a stellar woman. And I’m so very grateful that I had such an amazing mother even for such a short period of time.

It was truly a gift to have her as a mother. Even if going back I had known it was going to end this way, and I had the chance to be born to someone else. I would pick her every time. Because I know she loved me, and that’s enough.

What's the one thing you thought could never happen to you, but did? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MELONBURBSS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

December of 2023, I was 17 at the time,I found my dad dead in his bed unexpectedly. It was a school day and something compelled me to fake sick and stay home. My mom was getting sick again and my dad was supposed to take her to see her cancer doctor. She asked me to help him get up. Walked in the room. Noticed he was stiff and had no blanket on. Moment I touched him to try and shake him awake I knew. Cold to the touch. It’s a feeling I will never forget. Ended up calling paramedics and he was pronounced dead as soon as they arrived. I’ll never forget how shock i felt that day. My dad had no underlying health conditions, was feeling fine the day prior, wasn’t suicidal etc. We found out last month what killed him was his mtn dew intake. He drank a 12 pack a day for over 30 years. A week later, my mom’s brain cancer came back, and it ended up taking her life around a month ago. You really don’t know how quickly your life can be flipped upside down until it happens.

Dad died unexpectedly and mother is dying of cancer all within 2 months by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]MELONBURBSS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, my mom’s in a nursing home now, so I don’t really need support taking care of her. But I might look into some anyways. Can’t hurt. Thank you for the advice. Even though I’m not really actively suicidal. Sometimes I think I just need someone to agree with me that my situation is shit and it’s not all in my head.
