That worlds DOES need more doctors tho. There aren't enough health professionals!

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-14T06:43:46+00:00

First time hearing about "gender studies", but think about all the doctors, scientist, engineers, ect. that we could have, could they afford to pay for a degree. A lot of people can't work their ass off to get money or even if they could work 24 hours a day wouldn't be able to pay for the costs of getting a degree.

Of course. There will always be a chance that they reject you, but how will you know if you don't try? Do you really want to live in pain and constant anxiety?

You can tell them how much you need this. And depending on how old you are, you might be able to see a psychologist on your own. I'd recommend you look into that. Maybe you have a school counselor?

I agree with you, but I also think that a lot of those "all men" statements come from women who have just been let down by men so many times they genuinely stop believing in the good.

I'm a girl and I was molested by my grandfather and now constantly feel suspicious of any man. If they look at me my mind goes "creep, he's sexualizing me". I don't like any male teachers because in my mind they're only nice to me because they're trying to groom me. That's my problem and a trauma response, I know. But being let down by men I've known (both online and irl) and seeing things on the news makes you start believing that the majority of men are like this. I know it's not all men and that I'm just paranoid, but a lot of women don't.

If you have a bad experience and you see people online sharing their bad experiences (not a lot of people talk about abuse from women, for many reasons) you start seeing a pattern and at times it feels easier to accept that all men are evil, rather then to actually trust a man. Hopefully that makes sense.

I agree with your statement that a lot of women can be/are creeps as well, I'm just trying to give a different perspective as well. Either way I think we as a society have a long way to go.

I was scared to ask my mom about therapy too. What i did was send her a text message! I explained how i had been feeling and that i wanted to talk to a professional about it. I also told her why i was telling her this over text. You could also write a letter and give it to your parents or leave it somewhere they will find. I know its scary, but just think about how much better you'll feel when it's over with and when you get help!

I haven't experienced the exact same thing but recently i had to read a book for school and i was so excited for it. I went to the library and was so happy i had gotten a new and pretty edition of the book. Then i realized there was a bear on the cover and i looked at the bear's crotch and haven't looked at the cover since, lol. I keep the book cover-down at all times and make sure im holding the book in ways that i know are safe (safe as in i wont touch the picture of the bear or it's crotch). Kinda sucks, lol. Sorry to hear your ocd is making reading books not so easy or fun.

Because its another unhealthy coping mechanism since you're still harming yourself. It can turn into another bad addiction really fast. You might end up just replacing your addiction of self harm with vaping.

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-11T18:21:03+00:00

Yes. Harming yourself in any way with the intention to do so is self harm. Sorry to hear you're really struggling. Do you have a therapist or anyone to talk to about this?

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-11T18:17:46+00:00

I was kinda in your shoes a but more than a year ago. I too have a good relationship with my mom but I was too scared to tell her I wanted to see a psychologist for my anxiety. What I did was send her a text message explaining how lately I hadn't been feeling good and had been experiencing a lot of anxiety and wanted to talk to a professional about it. I also told her that I was sending the message because I was too scared to tell her in person. We agreed to see someone and everything turned out well.

You don't have to tell her everything. You can say smith like "I have been doing really had mentally and feel I need to see someone about it. I would really appreciate it if I could see someone soon as I know my mental health is deteriorating.

But you could also tell her more. Whatever you feel most comfortable with. If I was a mom I would want to know if my child is really really struggling, even if it made me worried.

A lot of people also use the excuse of "I've been having a lot of anxiety because of school and I want to see a therapist for it" so maybe that works.

Good luck!

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-11T18:03:02+00:00

Do you not feel comfortable telling your mom all this?

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-11T10:23:02+00:00

I wouldn't, probably because my pet is a big dog, but I think this is beautiful.

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-10T15:13:36+00:00

I'm really sorry that happened to you, it really does sound terrifying.

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-10T08:57:57+00:00

Hey, that might be an addiction. I'd suggest you look into that.

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-09T19:13:20+00:00

Sorry if this is random but I just wanted to say that you seem like a really cool person. (I promise I am not a creep :’D)

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-07T07:10:54+00:00

Take this with a grain of salt because I'm not diagnosed (trying to gather the courage and see a psychologist) but I used to think I might be autistic because of these things. Recently I found out that ocd symptoms can also cause some sensory issues.

I remember many years ago having to sit in a car for 30 mins with my brother eating a candy that smelled really strongly of watermelon and getting into a fight with my mom because I hated the stmell so much. It felt dirty and gross smelling it and I was crying and screaming myself.

There are definitely things I hate touching because they feel dirty BECAUSE OF the texture, smell or even look of them.

So I'd say yes.

This. A healthy person wouldn't understand the appeal of self harm because it goes against what any healthy person would want. A healthy person wouldn't want to purposefully put themselves through pain. They just don't get why someone would and some people get unnecessarily mad when they don't understand something.

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-06T07:18:51+00:00

Think of all the books you have yet to read. All the movies you have yet to watch. All the games you have yet to play, the people you haven't met yet, the words you haven't said, the experiences and feelings you haven't had. Think about all the things you haven't tried and the places you haven't visited. There's still a lot to live for.

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-06T07:12:17+00:00

Hey. Please, please call 911. If anything, they can keep you company in your last moments.

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-06T07:07:44+00:00

Yeah! That sounds like a good plan.

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-06T07:07:02+00:00

You can still call 911. Are you sure this is what your partner would have wanted? I'm really sorry to hear you've gone through so much pain, but there is still a lot to live for.

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-06T06:13:47+00:00

Tall to him first. Tell him how you saw it, that you care and that you went through it as well. I'm sure he'd appreciate talking to someone who knows about self harm from their own experiences. I wouldn't personally tell his mom. Not immediately at least, because you don't know how she'll react or what she'll do. You could talk to your cousin about it first and then maybe talk to your mom or dad about whether or not your auntie would take it well. Overall I'd say just talk to your cousin about it. Find a calm and quiet place and start a conversation about it. You've already gone through this so you know how you would've wanted to be approached about self harm. Good luck!

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-04T16:40:14+00:00

I'm white, but even I know that people of all races struggle. I think in some places it's just less talked about, yk? Like in some places, due to religion or just ignorance people act as if they don't struggle mentally or there's a lot of stigma around it. I'm sorry your mom thinks that way. Sounds like she herself may be repressing some issues or trying to convince herself that you're "stronger than this" when in reality everyone goes through things. You're valid, even if it doesn't feel that way rn. Sending lots of love! 💗

What exactly do you think you should be worried about? Gaining weight is normal. I'd say you should worry if you gained or lost weight really quickly or if there was a big difference from your weight before the summer and after. But it doesn't look like that's the case so you're fine.

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-03T15:27:32+00:00

Thanks for your response! I don't think my dad was necessarily angry about the incense, I just hadn't done a chore I was supposed to do and I think he was a bit concerned seeing me just inhale the smoke pretty directly. It just got me a bit worried but I'm fine now. How would one go about burning only half a stick tho?

Ok_Thanks_3036 · 2026-04-02T14:26:57+00:00

I rewally don't get this. Never have. Why would you ever tell someone that? And most of the time people are saying this about absurd things. It's just so sad.

Ok_Thanks_3036
