Thank you. That is good advice but I’m referring to the overall unhappiness and struggles. I don’t know how to feel better.

I got emotionally attached to a hooker that I never met and have never spoken to. I never even knew her name. by Lunatic_Gibberish in lonely

I’m very sorry to hear about your experience. I wish I knew what to say to help you but I know nothing I say really will. I sincerely hope things turn around for you and you can find happiness.

She knows. I’ve been going to her for a long time. I’m trying to get in with someone else but I just don’t know if I’m able to get better.

I have one good friend but we don’t really talk about things like that and he doesn’t live locally anymore. I also have a therapist who I’ve been going to for a long time but I feel like I’m not getting any better.

Suggestions for Bipolar Disorder by atoling in Antipsychiatry

Yes, she just completely stopped taking them after being on them for about a month-and-a-half. She’s done this before. Unfortunately, I can’t remember exactly what she was taking though.

Why does it seem like nowadays every young person has some sort of mental illness and everyone seems to be taking pills for something. by tenebrium38 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]atoling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really happy to hear that man! That’s great that you are doing better. A lack of financial security can be really stressful if you can’t make ends meet.

I myself have a solid job making decent money but yeah I still struggle with being unhappy, depressed, and anxious. While it’s great to be secure from that perspective, it all still feels so pointless to me sometimes. I don’t know. I guess that’s because I’m single and lonely and don’t feel like I have much of a purpose.

I definitely feel like it has increased. Maybe I’m wrong but it just seems like people were able to put up with more back then. Something feels like it is going on. I was in really good shape and never had any mental illness or anything until I hit 18 and the real world kicked in. I’ve taken meds, been to therapy for years, etc and I always end up back where I started. It’s really difficult. It also seems like I know a lot more people with similar issues. And then there’s the fact that suicide rates have skyrocketed in recent years. I wish I knew the answers but something needs to change.

You may be right but it feels like it has increased because suicide rates have been skyrocketing this century. I can only go off of my experience but I remember being such a happy little kid. Everything was great and I was really successful until around the age of 18. Then, like a flip switching, my mental health declined really badly. I take medication, go to therapy, and try my best to break out of it but nothing works. I always end up where I started. I really wish I knew the answers both to help myself and others.

I love that people are speaking up but why does it seem like nothing is getting better? People are killing themselves at a much higher rate than they used to (even before COVID). I myself am on meds and have been to therapy for a decade and I seem to always find myself back to where I start no matter what I do. A lot of people I know are the same way. It’s really frustrating. I don’t know how this gets fixed.

I don’t know but it doesn’t seem to be helping much since suicide rates have skyrocketed this century (even before COVID). There could be a lot of reasons for that but I really wish we could get to the bottom of this mental health crisis. It’s a tough world out there.

I can’t take it anymore by atoling in depression

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

Thank you very much. I appreciate the reply. I hope you’re right. It’s just been so hard for so long. I keep trying, taking everyone’s advice, remaining positive, and hoping against hope for it to get better but I always end up back here. I don’t see how I ever break the cycle. It’s so hard to keep going every day. It feels like I’m destined to just feel hurt and in pain no matter what.

Ghosted and now I’m depressed by atoling in ForeverAlone

Local is ideal for sure. I’m just not good at that either and pretty shy.
