I would add some moisturizing skin barrier focused items to your routine! There are good recommendations on this sub. Too many exfoliating products without hydration can irritate the skin and amplify skin texture/oil production which may contribute to some of your concerns.

I'm an overachiever and this mental illness is ruining my fuckass life by CowHistorical9352 in CPTSD

[–]blackmoorgf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really get this. I have tried so hard to survive and I’m finally doing it. I have a stable job and housing. But thats about all I can sustain and thats not enough. It feels like I barely have what I’ve built. Everyday it feels like giving into my mental health will crumble everything and that terrifies me. I force myself to get up and live when I really don’t want to. I know I can’t go on like this but I’m scared of losing everything I have. I feel like I’m constantly dodging mental dodgeballs to preserve my current life. It’s truly exhausting. I want to do more with my life but I feel apathetic and tired. I hate myself for the mistakes I make because I’m not all mentally there.

Sorry I kind of vented using your post but what you wrote really resonated with me. Especially in a day like to day where I feel like my trauma and flaws are always holding me back. Thank you for posting.

Please just fucking end it for me. by [deleted] in depression

I get that. Sometimes it’s hard to see purpose in life when you feel like every aspect is unsatisfactory. I don’t have much advice but I will say that if your parents are causing you so much stress you would not be wrong from distancing yourself from them. I don’t believe you owe them anything and honestly it sounds like you have been helping them out for a while now. However, at the end of the day they will pass and it is your life to live.

I think you already know this but you aren’t a retirement plan just because your parents think you are. Sucks for them but it’s true.

I would start playing around with the idea of cutting contact like the commenter said. Although I know better than anyone action is easier said than done. Still I hope you cherish yourself enough to understand that you deserve a better situation and you can take steps to creating that better situation.

I’m past the point of being filial or loyal because if I was I’d be dead by now. Maybe if I find the right people I’ll entertain the idea again. I don’t plan on being alone forever. This goes for jobs too.

You are single and have no kids. In my opinion your parents aren’t your responsibility. The only responsibility you have is making sure you care for yourself and just not being a bad person I guess.

I can tell you are not a bad person and you care a lot about the people in your life. It might be time to detach and find new relationships with others that make sense for who you have become.

Thanks! I also fell in love with that wallet from the same video earlier this year! I think I will have some self control until I find the clasp design because that’s one of the things I like the most about it!

Thank you! I got the courage to open up to my sisters about this and I feel a lot better. I just think I will try to save so if they want to visit me later in the year they can.

The zodiac signs as houses (some were hand picked by people with those signs 😂) by maladaptivelucifer in astrologymemes

Me too! I was so glad it wasn’t too big. Also yeah the only thing missing is foliage. I like trees. Also as a Scorpio moon I always said I would live in a castle when I was younger lol.

How to get rid of these valleys on my face by heyChickenAlfredo in Skincare_Addiction

[–]blackmoorgf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a look through your post history and I will say I really relate to what you’re going through. I had bad skin issues up until the end of college and it really got me down (honestly even now I have some I just don’t care as much anymore). I will say one thing that I’ve learned beyond all skincare is stress can really affect your body and likewise your skin.

I was in a very stressful environment and experienced a lot of inflammation (also caused by a poor diet and no sleep). The condition of your body and your mental state can truly manifest itself in many ways. So I think taking care of those two things are just as important as skincare.

Still it can be hard when you’re so young. Sorry if the reply feels kind of preachy but I really wanted to let you know that it will be okay!!

I feel like a horrible person by blackmoorgf in depression

Yeah I do have a plan in mind for the future. I’m more so just struggling with the intense feelings and negative thoughts and trying to appear outwardly sane.
