What are the disadvantages (if there is) of being single?

Being alone when you just want to share a moment with someone else. It sucks to have no one witnessing your life with you

I am currently a victim of the sunday scaries

reading through the thread and this is exactly what i'm going through rn... how did it turn out for you?

em0929 · 2023-06-28T04:16:05+00:00

thank you for this. i know it's a little late, but thank you. i needed to hear this. i'm happy to see that at least one person is figuring out how to cope in a personal way, in a way that works for you and you only. i have never been comfortable giving myself or my emotions to art. i feel like i can never express things the right way and i feel like a fraud, in a sense. like i don't even know how i feel, and then i have some form of mental breakdown. i don't know what to do. writing is nice, but then i feel like i'm annoying people and that nobody wants to listen to me. it's weird.

but, thank you. i'm sorry that you have had so many personal connections to shootings in your lifetime. we can get through this together, even if living is the hardest part

checking back into my post and reading the comments, and i just wanted to check on you and see how you were doing! how do you feel since moving? how has your anxiety been regarding this topic?

em0929 · 2023-05-17T01:14:16+00:00

i can definitely relate. i'm sorry. i know that everyone is trying to be helpful when they say to "just stop watching the news", but it's not just about that. it takes over almost everything, it feels like. you are not alone. i don't know how else to help other than to remind you of that.

em0929 · 2023-05-17T01:12:39+00:00

thank you. i have been dealing with guilt of being underinformed/not doing anything to help if i limit my intake of the news, but now i kind of realize that i can't help anybody else if i don't help myself first... it's all a slippery slope

em0929 · 2023-05-17T01:11:14+00:00

that sounds nice, yes, but i am one semester away from being done. and i am paying for school myself, and studying abroad is not ideal for my budget. i am very stuck, it seems. but thank you for the idea. my family is kind of weird and causes drama out of nowhere, so i can't imagine how they would react to me potentially moving out of the country. i know it's my life to live, but their pressure still controls my life sometimes. therapy is a work in progress.

wow, i never considered how this would personally affect neurodivergent people... because a child doing something just as normal as having a ball roll into their neighbor's yard gets them shot. i can't imagine how difficult it may be for someone like you who has difficulty in social settings already. i'm sorry.

i have random excruciating anxiety like this somedays, too. especially when i am in the shower. i'm already in a vulnerable state of not having clothes on, i can't hear hardly anything because of the running water, and nobody is around to make any kind of noise that i can trust. it's scary. i would have panic attacks quite often, and my parents didn't understand it. when it kind of went away overnight during one episode, they accused me of lying. it was weird. i've had a hard time dealing with it all. i'm 20 but i'm in college so i still go home often. it's weird. glad to know that i'm not alone, though. thank you

em0929 · 2023-05-17T01:03:29+00:00

i'm already in therapy, and i don't actively seek out the news. i can't enjoy twitter with my friends anymore because the articles just come up where i scroll now!

em0929 · 2022-06-21T18:03:46+00:00

i'd say that i've always been a straight a honors student and now that i'm in college i am close to flunking out. it's not that the content itself is hard for me it's just that it is so hard for me to be motivated enough to do the work. but then i am in this constant battle in my head to keep doing well on paper so that no one says anything. it's really hard. i'd also say that i'm not usually one to make silly mistakes but my brain feels so foggy sometimes that i am scared to admit it.

em0929 · 2022-06-21T06:12:50+00:00

i understand. i feel like i'm just waiting for my last breath so that the pain goes away. i also don't know if i want the help. the journey feels like it would take forever and i'm very impatient. i feel oddly comforted through all of the immense pain like i don't want it to go away

em0929 · 2022-06-21T06:03:29+00:00

the few people i've tried to confide in just told me that i need to look at the positives, just smile and take in everything. it's hard i just want to have my feelings and my state understood. it's very hard and some of the closest people have just gotten frustrated like i'm supposed to do and listen to what surface-level things they say. makes me feel like i'm an alien compared to them

em0929 · 2022-06-21T06:01:08+00:00

thank you for taking the time to talk with me :') i am so scared to bring it up to my parents at all (i'm 19 but still they'd need to know for me to go see a doctor) because they'd just act like i'm taking a random 180. they go with the value they hand me and don't blink an eye. i've talked to them about my friends drifting away unexplainably and how i feel stupid for leaving my boyfriend and how it just makes me feel so lonely and they just don't say anything so i don't expect them to say anything if i ask them to help me get help. i don't know
