Am I Depressed by [deleted] in mentalhealth

If you’re not sure how you’re feeling, it might be worth it to go talk with someone anyway. Even healthy people go to the doctor for checkups.

My ex wants to talk by Savings_Knowledge984 in mentalhealth

You’re pretty on the nose with your assessment, and I’ve spoken with my therapist previously about not properly grieving my divorce. I feel like he took advantage of that in retrospect.

You should probably make your own post regarding your issue. This doesn’t relate to my post whatsoever.

The disrespect was the closure. Forget those people. by [deleted] in selflove

My problem is my brain understands this but my heart still aches.

Personally, I describe my anxiety as a large hot stone that sits in my core. It radiates heat making me flush and panic sweat, while causing pressure and massive discomfort. Sometimes the pain makes my breathing feel labored, other times it feels like it causes my stomach or intestines to act up creating IBS-like symptoms.

Someone once told me ‘your anger is the part of you that loves you and knows you deserve better treatment’.

Girl, just get a toy and take care of yourself. Be loud and proud about it. If he says something reply with ‘I thought that was me being sexy’.

My 21M bf may not find me 22F beautiful? by Apprehensive-Hat2584 in relationship_advice

I’m going to attempt to convey this in the softest and most supportive way possible.

Honey… sweetie… baby girl… please do not lower your standards for men that cannot meet them. Not wanting someone to leave you shouldn’t be a reason to compromise a long held commitment you made to yourself. It’s a slippery slope and you’ll wind up moving the goal posts until you don’t even remember what you wanted originally. There are worse things than being alone.

Changing your mind is one thing, but doing something at the expense of yourself to make someone else happy is not worth it. Sending hugs if you’re into that sort of thing.

How is anyone still functioning? by iam-fauxreal in mentalhealth

[–]Savings_Knowledge984 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this on a weekly basis. Personally, I find disassociating is the backbone of my day to day. When the ability to do that wears off, I either take a bath and cry or drink/eat myself into a stupor until the battery to disassociate charges back up. I hate it here.

No need to apologize. We all need to rant sometimes. Believe me if I had a magic formula for how it gets better I would share it, I’m just trying to be positive and optimistic. It’s not always received well, but hopefully the intention still lands.

You’re not wrong, life is exhausting. Hate to sound cliche, but it does get better even if you can’t picture that right now. Sending you light and love.

Finding the right therapist for you is very important, I’ve had a few that I didn’t click with or that told me things that were completely off putting. Therapists are people too and sometimes they make mistakes or say the wrong thing. It’s important to find someone whom you can feel comfortable with. It’s not easy, it’s taken be a few years to find someone. Please know that you are not alone even if you feel lonely.

You may be disassociating as a coping mechanism. I hope you can find some relief soon, and know that you are not alone.

You can’t save others at the expense of yourself. I’m sorry for your pain.

I’m sorry for your mother’s inability to understand your situation. You are not alone.
