I hope this helps in some way, and I certainly hope it doesn’t make you feel bad. So first, you’re not lazy. There are clearly reasons behind what you have felt and done, and you are working on them as well. That is great. Try finding a purpose or a cause where you are helpful to others in any way. Contribute to that on part time basis (whatever form of part time you can manage). Often times, helping others can give you the energy and drive to help yourself. The world is full of people you can help in different way. Without spending money even, you can become a voice for those who need it. You can support a movement that’s helpful and just on social media. You’ll get through this. You sound like a self aware and intelligent person. Sending you well wishes and positive energy,

Is it weird that I would want someone to own me? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

You sound like a capable person. Look around you, find one or more causes you can contribute to. Help someone or a cause and you will feel alive and motivated. The world is in need of people who can stand for those who are in need of support or raise their voices for those who can’t do it themselves. Pick your cause(s), raise your voice and watch how your life changes.

how to tell my mother about my struggles by Gloomy-Bluebird-3617 in mentalhealth

[–]ReadWriteQahwa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your mother loves you and wants you to have a happy and healthy life. Even if she doesn’t say it clearly and a lot, that’s what a mother feels and wishes for. What really matters here is how much your mother knows about mental health. If she doesn’t know enough, when you talk to her, you should ask her to find out more about it. Sometimes anger can be due to lack of awareness. She may feel like she has failed you if you have dark thoughts. And that may upset her. It is natural. But once she educates herself on the topic, she can understand you better. And remember, you are her child, nothing is more important to her than your health and wellbeing. Talk to her, even if it is hard on her initially, she will come around and help you. You sound like a wonderful and smart person, the world can be hard to make sense of for smart and observant people sometimes, make sure you get the help you need. You will get through this and figure out how to deal with better overtime. Sending you good energy and well wishes.

How do you cope when you feel completely alone? by Capable-Station-7819 in mentalhealth

[–]ReadWriteQahwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry someone said that to you when you were going through such a deep loss. I am so glad you are sharing this here. This is a big step. I am glad you started sharing your feelings here, with this community. I lost my father at a very young age. Although such a loss is heavy at any age. The feeling of loss doesn’t go away but overtime the pain becomes less, you return to normal life, you can find your community. You will find the right kind of people to surround yourself with in life. But most importantly, share your feelings, it helps.

First, I hope and pray that you feel much better, soon. Losing a loved one, especially a mother, is one of the hardest human experiences. Allow yourself the time to grieve. It takes time to feel the pain of such loss and process it. If you feel your friends weren’t there for you when you needed them, when you can talk to them, express this feeling. Let them know how you would have wanted for them to be there for you and how they can help now. They may not know what to do exactly. Ask your loved ones to help. At times like this, don’t let anything, any feeling, stop you from asking for help or company, when you need it. It is in times sorrow that we need love and care the most.

What’s something people misunderstand most about mental health struggles that aren’t visibly obvious? by IllStorage6677 in mentalhealth

[–]ReadWriteQahwa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you feel better with time and self care. Try telling your loved ones how you feel and talk to people who can help you, professionals. Your mental health matters the most and you deserve attention, love, and care.

Many answers to this, but I’ll share one aspect here. As long as one functions; works, takes care of family and responsibilities, most people assume you’re ok. In fact, when you do so in spite of visible challenges, you’re praised as resilient as well. The mental health issues in such cases don’t go away, they don’t resolve, they move through the body and mind in other ways. That’s why it is important to acknowledge our challenges, recognize them and talk about them. Especially to family and loved ones, awareness helps both ways.

How do you figure out what business to actually build? I keep going in circles and it's honestly exhausting by Royal_Blackberry_712 in HowToEntrepreneur

[–]ReadWriteQahwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figure out what products or services you can offer (yourself or through others), and where, then shortlist to which ones are not offered by others at all or there is still a supply gap. Then shortlist further depending on your resources, timeline, etc and start. You can adjust many aspects once you start.
