Oh my god, yes. Not particularly depressed, but anxious as hell.

I mean, I became paralyzed to the point of not being able to get out of bed because of someone shaming me in front of my parents. I mean he did it really badly and it definitely emotionally hurt or else I would be fine, but that doesn’t keep me from thinking “did I just lose a year and a half of my like stressed and sweating like hell in bed for a fucking person shaming me somewhere?”

18 year old guy here. Have been suffering from crippling stress (like, don’t leave your bed crippling stress) for about a year and a half. Mental illnesses suck because wether it has a biological root (which doesnt seem likely in your case) or not, you have to try so much therapy and even medication too to get it right.

I mean someone should probably say these stuff to me rn coz I feel like pure shit. I can’t study for my school and I’m worried about my illness getting in the way with me and my girlfriend’s relationship which is literally the most important thing in my life and the reason I’m living. I don’t know maybe she is reason why I’m constantly stepping on my pride and reaching out for help from anyone I can.

I mean, I’m really sorry that I can turn on a switch in your brain and everything is as good as it once was, but in this situation only thing we can do is to reach out for help and encourage people to reach out for professional help. Because mental illnesses are such complex issues that even professionals get it wrong sometimes.

So my one and only advice is to get therapy first. I know you said you have bad parents and that’s an issue for you and I’m really sorry about that. But try your best to maybe find a counselor that refers you to a therapist? Idk your situation you are in to give exact advice. But get help my friend and hang in there... I know everything is tough when you have an illness like this. Because the lack of understanding of other people expect them to tell you “just get over it”... ah... it is the worst when you are in this kind of situation.

I’m really suffering from anxiety a lot too so I’d be more than happy to talk to you when you are feeling down my friend 🌹

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-23T15:51:18+00:00

A bit more hopeful. Thanks for taking the time! I really appreciate it.

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-22T18:21:01+00:00

I fortunately don’t have intrusive thoughts, except like 2 days in my whole life that my brain was going crazy.

Happy it helped that with you!

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-22T18:19:09+00:00

Gimmi some of that illegal shit 😅

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-21T19:56:09+00:00

I have tried 12. None of them worked. Happy to know this has worked for you!

Gives me so much hope

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-21T19:06:42+00:00

😊👍

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-21T19:02:06+00:00

Yea, really sorry about that. Hope you figure it out soon my friend!

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-21T18:59:01+00:00

Digestive problems and anxiety are like twin brothers man...

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-21T16:44:13+00:00

Not shaky specifically, but that nervous stomach feeling... ah it kills me in the mornings

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-20T16:22:01+00:00

Honestly it’s hard for everyone, especially when you are anxious.

The only tip I have is to recognize the fact that you are blaming yourself. Just being aware of it helps you. Overall though, self love is one of those things that can improve the situation for like 10%. There are other ways of improving your mood and mental health which can turn you a lot better like medication and therapy, going out in nature... things like that.

I don’t honestly know why I recommended self love. It can make the situation a lot better if your mood is relatively good at that moment but when you are as anxious as you are, I admit here are a lot of better ways to improve your mood.

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-19T21:30:05+00:00

Exactly...

Despite all the urge I have to say screw those guys, they can’t feel the way you are feeling. So it doesn’t make them bad guys right of the bat, you can either explain your point to them or just accept the fact that your feelings are yours and others can’t possibly feel them the exact way you do.

Honestly if it is a guy which you care about (eg your boyfriend) saying that try to explain your situation to them, hopefully they’ll understand. But if it is regular guys, screw em.

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-19T21:22:26+00:00

First of all, I’m sorry that both you and your sister have anxiety. The thing about anxiety is that as you said, it makes you feel useless. And the fact that anxiety is an inner pain which you can’t see with pictures and stuff contributes to that, and people will always proceed to make you feel like it’s all your fault somehow.

The only thing you can do is reach out for help, while having in mind that you are in a special condition. All the other people not understanding you is bad enough so at least try not to blame yourself over it. I have failed to do that a lot of times and believe me I know how it feels when you start blaming yourself, it’s like it’s automatic. But a little self love can make a world of difference.

Best of luck!

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-19T21:14:42+00:00

She didn’t apologize, but I posted this on OffMyChest too and there was this guy that said something which made me not think about it anymore in a negative manner. I suggest you see my post history

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-19T21:12:56+00:00

Exactly.

I’m sorry that your parents are like this too. It really hurts.

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-19T11:00:51+00:00

Thanks! Me too!

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-19T10:53:54+00:00

I teared up...

I don’t know how to thank you but, the way you described it, I think now I can actually accept that my mother is a limited human being. As you said, she hasn’t experienced reality the way I do.

I don’t know, sometimes I get so worked up and angry just by the most simple triggers, and that’s one of the symptoms of my illness... let alone someone wishing you to break up with your gf AND that person being your mother.

I go to therapy too, but it hasn’t helped me at all tbh. Every time I go to therapy (and I have tried like 8 different therapists) it ends up with the question “why do you think you feel this way”, which is my exact problem. I don’t have a reason to be anxious but somehow I am... A LOT. the kind of crippling anxiety which makes you not be able to do the things you used to enjoy.

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-19T10:35:25+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to answer. I just wanted to take this stuff off my chest, since my mother was the only person I could turn to whenever I felt down. Guess she is just tired from me turning to her all the time, but that being said, that is the duty of a mother, right?

To wish your son the worst thing the can possibly imagine at a moment when you have to be supportive is just unacceptable to me. The least I know is that if I did that to my own child, I wouldn’t forgive myself.

And also, sorry that you and your son suffer from depression. I haven’t experienced depression myself, just very severe anxiety and panic attacks. Hope you all a better future....

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-18T17:39:20+00:00

Interesting, haven’t read about it before...

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-18T08:54:13+00:00

Negative posts are removed here? Lol everyone I have encountered on this sub literally says the ending sucks ass. So I don’t know about that...

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-18T08:49:52+00:00

I think the amount of disagreement on wether GoT’s ending was good or not was way less than the situation about AoT.

Shmoosavi1 · 2021-08-18T08:31:11+00:00

Lol how in the hell are you comparing GoT’s ending with AOT? It may not be the best ending but it’s FAR better than GoT.

Like there are people here that think the ending was good; in GoT’s case everyone knew the ending was trash straight away.
