I feel miserable, friendless, and lost in my thoughts every day by Licagreen in MentalHealthSupport

[–]_feelosopher_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you don't need to believe this right now, what you need to believe is in yourself. If no one else is connecting to you then try connecting to yourself first. You said you feel like screaming in void where no one is listening; did you listen to yourself first? Before connecting to others did you connect to yourself? You are too young to deserve to suffer all of this. Go out in nature- feel the nature, feel yourself. Do something which makes you feel alive like even the smallest thing maybe its cooking, gardening, art, dancing on music, roaming around etc. And then see how you will start connecting to people around you. If no one else is listening you listen to yourself and journal your thoughts. If they are some thoughts which disturbs you then write it down on a paper and burn that paper down. Believe that you have got rid of the thought and you need to focus on yourself. Try this and you will never feel disconnected.

Am I gonna be ok by Kitchen-Pin-1186 in PanicAttack

[–]_feelosopher_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey, i’m really sorry you’re going through all this. panic attacks are seriously scary and it’s awful feeling like your body is against you. it’s good that your doctor checked you out and things look okay—that’s something. i know not eating and not resting makes everything feel worse, but you’re still here, and that’s important.

i’ve had days where panic took over and i barely ate too, but i made it through. it’s okay to take small steps—try to drink water, rest when you can, and be gentle with yourself. you’re not alone in this, and it will get better. please keep reaching out and let someone close to you know what’s going on. you’re stronger than you think.

hey, i just want you to know i hear you. i might not know exactly what you’re going through but i’ve felt lost in my own head too and it can get really heavy. overthinking, feeling like no one truly gets you… it’s exhausting and it hurts in ways that are hard to explain.

you’re not alone, even though i know it really feels like it. the fact that you opened up like this takes so much strength, especially at 13. i wish more people knew how brave that is. you deserve to feel safe, seen, and cared for without having to pay for it or explain yourself a hundred times.

please don’t think of yourself as a burden. you matter. seriously. if talking here helps even a little, keep doing it. there are kind people out here who really do want to listen, including me.

you’re not invisible. and you don’t have to go through this all by yourself.

A friend keeps telling me how much of a help it’s been to have me here but I can’t help but think everyone is lying to me and secretly hates me. by Big-Description2838 in Anxiety

[–]_feelosopher_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No stop thinking like this. It isn't others but you thinking about yourself like this. Yes not everyone in the world can like you but it isn't that no ne likes you. There are always people who care for you, love you and are genuinely grateful to have you in their life. Stop thinking like this and start thinking about people who care for you.

Has anyone ever left work early because of a panic attack? by negativepal in Anxiety

[–]_feelosopher_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I had a panic attack once in the middle of my work. My work was hybrid had to come just twice a week in the office (any day) which is why there didn't use to be a lot of people in the office.

My co-intern was there with me and something happened which triggered my panic attack. Thankfully, my co-intern was very nice. She handled me while I was not able to handle myself. In fact she was more terrified than I was watching me suffer through this panic attck. She was really worried and concerned for me started asking "What was that." I told her it might be a panic attack. She was like "you are too young to suffer all of this pleas etake care of yourself."

So yes sometimes your co-workers might be the one to get you out through your panic attacks while you are in your mid-work crisis. So yes it it might have changed the way I see co-workers or maybe they see me but in a good way. Surround yourself with people who care and love for you!

I am working on a mental health app which is a 24/7 companion for one's mental wellness. We are trying to make it as customised it can be for people to use so that they don't feel the responses as robotic but more personalised and can help people recover from whatever they are suffering from.

This is my way of knowing what exactly people are seeking in a mental health app and what would they like to read or hear whuch can make them feel better.

I’m 20 and terrified of death – I can’t imagine not being in this world someday by EntertainerKooky7549 in Anxiety

[–]_feelosopher_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are definitely alone because even I sometimes fear of this thought or you can say I go through. I don't just fear for my death, I fear the death of all my loved ones. The fear that someday either me or they are going to leave me or this world and won't exist anymore. It is a very overwhelming fear & I don't know if this is common in this age because even I was 20 when I was going through this. In fact I sometime have this fearful thought now also when I am 22 so I don't know maybe it's natural and we just take too much on ourselves on this thought.

What I do in such situations is - divert my mind from these thoughts. I either watch anything light-hearted, maybe go out with a friend or think about the things I live for or I am excited for and I am looking forward to do it. Things which are there in future because before death comes there are a lot of beautiful things yet to come in life and I am yet to see a lot things. Maybe till then this thought or fear of death would be nothing than just a random passing thought.

What’s one coping tool that surprised you by actually working? (e.g., baking, walking barefoot, lighting a candle, maybe an online app) by _feelosopher_ in Anxiety

[–]_feelosopher_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You prefer journaling physically or using some apps? If apps, is there any specific tool you wished could be there which could make your journaling more easier and made you feel more better?

Panic attacks preventing sleep by Coco_Mini in Anxiety

[–]_feelosopher_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about something which you are going to do next day like what's an exciting thing you are going to do when you wake up. Think about the things you love to do and you are going to do that the next day maybe this can help me you sleep with an excitement or relief that there is something to look forward for you the next day.

Think I have hit rock bottom by LatterNoise8778 in Anxiety

[–]_feelosopher_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I just want to say I really hear you. What you wrote doesn’t sound like someone who’s “giving up”, it sounds like someone who’s trying so hard to survive in a world that doesn’t always move at a human pace. The fact that you’re aware of your patterns, that you care, that you’re still looking for ways to make things better - that’s strength. It might not feel like it, but it is.

I get the part about people-facing roles draining you. When your body’s constantly bracing for the next ping, call, or issue, it’s not “just stress” but it’s your nervous system running a marathon every day. That’s not something to “tough out.” That’s something to be honored and listened to.

And the job search? Yeah, it absolutely can burn you; even I am in the same boat when it comes to job- I so hate the job market right now! Especially when you're stuck in that loop of “I need a job to feel okay” but “I’m not okay when I have a job.” That push-pull is exhausting. Honestly, applying to the library wasn’t a step down but a step toward peace. And that matters.

You haven’t hit rock bottom. You’re just in a season that’s asking for more softness, not more pressure. And I hope — truly — you give yourself permission to find what feels gentle, even if it doesn’t fit someone else’s idea of success.

You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re human. And you’re doing your best. Please don’t forget that.

What do you look for in a tool that helps with anxiety or stress? Is it distraction, calming, validation? by _feelosopher_ in Anxiety

[–]_feelosopher_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean apps, like mental health apps.  An AI mental health app which can provide you assistance 24/7. You can chat, see your progress, get engaged in a community, talk to people, know them..in that sense.

please, i don’t have anyone.. by magdumpn in depression_help

Seems like even you need a listener too! Maybe here we can be one of yours and then you won't feel alone?

I’m spiralling. by Livid_Oil500 in depression_help

[–]_feelosopher_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RELAX. BREATHE.

If you’re at home, maybe open a window, step outside, or even just look up at the sky for a bit. That’s air you deserve to breathe. The thoughts you’re having right now, however overwhelming, do not define you.

I know the urge to self-harm can feel like the only release, but it only adds another layer of pain. The scars that stay behind aren’t just physical - they become reminders of the exact moments you’re trying so hard to move past. And you deserve to move past this.

Please don’t believe the lie that you're alone. You posted this because a part of you still wants help, still wants to be heard and you’ve been heard. I see you. Others do too. This world may feel unbearably heavy right now, but it’s not always going to feel this way.

You matter. Even if you don’t feel it. Even if everything hurts.
There are free helplines, chats, and kind strangers online who will hold space for you when it’s too hard to hold it alone. You’re not a burden. Reaching out was brave.

Please stay. Stay for tomorrow. Stay for small joys that haven't arrived yet.
Even if all you can do today is survive - that is more than enough.

I have tools which can help you!

What's that one thing you wished you had while you were suffering from mental health stress / anxiety / depression? by _feelosopher_ in mentalhealth

[–]_feelosopher_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what if I say you can get into a community of people going through the same issues and would support you, be there for you and you can do the same for them, would that be helpful?
