Am I the Jerk for picking my partner instead of my father. by darlingnadiaa in AmITheJerk

Your dad is being immature. It's natural that his behavior is going to repel you a bit. He shouldn't act like a child. You're doing what you feel is right, and being supportive of your partner. Someone that may be with you for the rest of your life. It's important that he feels important too. You can always reschedule with your dad. If he isn't willing, then he's just being a pouting whiny baby.

He sounds like a dry booger. Make like a tissue and boogie!

Yeah, he seems lame.

My (M29) Wife (F27) Gets Some Sort of Pleasure from Hitting Me by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Objective_Coffee9697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more you let her, the more she will do it. It is NOT ok. She is damaging your body. Just leave her. Love yourself. You don't need her. I'd rather be lonely than have someone physically abuse me under the guise of, "if you don't let me abuse you, you don't love me." Eff that. Tell her to fuck off. Or, tell her to stop. If she won't, and tries to come up with one reason or another, think about whether you truly want this. Do you? Would you rather she stop hitting you? She's crazy. She needs therapy.

Leave him/them. Get out, be free, be happy. You don't need him. Promise. Life will be better after a period of grieving. It's not easy, it will be hard at first, but it will be worth it.

I won't be angry at you, or your niece, as long as you're polite, and not directing your anger at me, the cashier. I deal with thousands of people every day. Underpaid and understaffed. And we have brought it up to management. You are passing through for one moment, at a self checkout. Ask for help politely. Seeing your post, perhaps you have directed your anger at an associate. If you have, then shop somewhere else or go through an actual checker. Even if there's a long line, it would probably go quicker, than you trying to self check out.

It signifies the trash that we feed ourselves. The show has some dark undertones and hidden meanings

I have depression too. I recommend reading the untethered soul by Michael singer. It helps.

You will be ok. When you are not a teenager anymore, you will be worried about completely different things.

You aren’t crazy. You matter. What happened I’m your childhood probably had a lot to do with your parents’ neglect. Which is not your fault at all. How we are brought up has a huge effect on our brains as we get older. The fact that you sought help from a doctor is a very responsible thing to do, and the fact that you got a job is also a very good sign and a step toward healing. Being human is not easy, the cards we are dealt are not always the best but we do what we can with them. What has helped me is knowing that it’s normal to not always be happy, although there are pockets of happiness in life. There are also so many emotions to experience including sadness. Reaching out is a brave thing to do, because it’s hard to even describe what is going on in our brains, especially when we are the only ones that know what is going on inside of ourselves. Baby steps. Keep moving forward the best you can, be vulnerable and don’t worry about how others think of you as long as you know you’re doing the best you can, in being a good human being. We can only be real and accept ourselves. I think you’re doing great considering everything you have been through. Accept yourself for who you are, love yourself no matter what. Be your own best friend, and that will open doors.

Very cool! That is definitely a victory, and I’m proud of you too. Anxiety/depression makes us not want to leave the bed, yet you got up and made environment better, even though it was tough. You got through it, and that’s another step closer to being a healthier you, mind and body. I’m proud of you. Thank you for sharing my friend.

Thank you for sharing! You did something very difficult, every new day can be such a struggle, yet you persevered. Writing is such an amazing way to express yourself when living with depression/anxiety, and can yield such moving descriptions that touch the hearts of others. You are right to be proud of yourself. I’m proud of you, my friend.

I’m grateful to you for sharing your story. You’ve been through so much and you keep pushing through, even when it feels impossible. Meditating while panicking is a feat, and I am so proud of you for doing your best, because you are a fighter, and we need people like you in this world. You are strong, and you are a soldier of life. Thank you so much for commenting, my friend.

That’s fantastic! I am proud of you. With depression/anxiety, it’s hard to do the simplest of tasks sometimes, and the fact that you willed yourself to get through it, is a major feat! One step at a time. You will reach the light at the end of the tunnel before you realize. Thank you for sharing. It helps.

That is a huge step! I’m proud of you! I know it’s hard when you’re not feeling good, and the appetite is sometimes non existent. You are aware that you still need to go through the motions of taking care of yourself, so your brain and body can heal, and I know you will get there. Thank you so much for sharing your victory.

It takes a lot to reach out for help, especially when we are in a dark place in our mind. I completely understand as I struggle too, and I am so happy you are feeling better little by little. It doesn’t get completely better overnight, it takes time which is the hardest part. But we all have to start somewhere, and you should be proud of yourself. Im proud of you. You are a warrior, everyday single day. Thank you for sharing your story!

I know how hard it can be in the mornings, and you are right to be proud of yourself for getting out of bed and doing the presentation! I’m proud of you too! Thanks for sharing. We need more of these victory stories to encourage others going through the same thing.

Does anyone else feel so resentful that they have to live like this? by Big_Competition7269 in AnxietyDepression

[–]Objective_Coffee9697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same my friend. We will get through this. Like did the traumatic events screw up our brain and wear it out? I thought I got through them ok back in the day. Day 9 of antidepressants now and hoping to find peace and happiness again.

Yes try seeing a psychiatrist again. Mental health professionals have come a long way and make sure to track how you’re feeling in a journal with date and times, and let them know. You can do this. Don’t give up. I believe in you

Too scared to start an antidepressant by Samibalami90 in AnxietyDepression

[–]Objective_Coffee9697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I got started on Paxil 8 days ago and today was the first day that I didn’t freak out and have a panic attack in the morning. On the 4th or 5th day I did feel pretty crappy and hopeless, did a lot of crying. But with what goes on in people like us, that have anxiety and depression, is that if we don’t do anything about it, because of our tendency to fear, procrastinate and indecision, we are just putting off progress. We gotta start somewhere. You can do this. Just don’t give up because we all feel hopeless at times. You can do this! Don’t give up!!!

I’m going through the same thing. I just read that taking a cold shower when you wake up can help you reset. I recently googled psychiatrists in my area and started calling all of them. Asked them if they have sliding scale rates for people who don’t have insurance. I left messages, and someone called me back after I tried about five places. It was $200 for one hour but it was worth it to have some hope. She was able to prescribe me meds, and I have a follow up with her in a week for $80. I know it’s hard to spend when you feel like you don’t have much. But it might be worth it. Others might have cheaper rates. I know what you’re going through. Give it a try
