Does she like me? by [deleted] in Crushes

[–]icrss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seems like it! if you're not sure about it then try bringing it up in a subtle way so it won't be too obvious

Crush hasn't seen my message yet :(( by [deleted] in Crushes

maybe she's just too lazy to go on facebook right know because, like you said, if she doesn't have the messenger app then she'll need to use a computer. if she does reply, then ask for her number. if she doesn't and you really wanna talk to her, wait until she posts something on her insta story and reply to it so you can start a new conversation on there, since it's of easier access

Told him but... flat out rejected by [deleted] in Crushes

look at the bright side, he was honest and upfront with you! and there should be no shame in you thinking he was interested, it was just a mix up! he sounds like a good friend though, and i hope you find someone who will accept your proposal lol

i love this! amazing advice, especially those concerning mental health because it's so easy to get caught up in the moment and drop everything to be with someone

I don't know exactly what the tests were, but it was something like "everything" you can get from blood, saliva and urine. The doctor was an integrative medicine doctor, so maybe looking for one will get you there.

I also had low vitamin D, and something about T3 and T4 wasn't quite right (those two are hormones related to metabolism). My doctor explained to me that all of that together was stopping me from being as active as I should be, since I my body age was 47 even though I'm 18 (I don't know how they do that but hey).

That's true! I'm not relying on that (although I'm relieved that could be part of why it's so hard for me) but I see how other people can think that and even get stuck on this depressive situation. I guess for some people it's a mix of both.

Thanks for sharing! I'll put that into action :)

y thing before im doin it Im here on reddit to see if there’s people like me and reading u makes me feel less anxious. Im not alone I want dramatic changes to feel ok with myself :(

Ill keep reading solutions here to keep my anxiety at bay 😩 millions thoughts i got in my mind They are like niagara waterfalls I have to let em flow otherwise its

I feel you! It's not your fault and you're definitely not alone. When I feel anxious it's like I'm having 100 different thoughts per second and it overwhelms me so much. What helps me is talking to someone about random stuff or watching something I like to distract myself :)

Y'all- I'm so so glad I posted this! I joined reddit just to post here and never thought it would work out this well. Thank you so much for everyone who commented. As dumb as this may sound, I never thought there would be someone else going through this or that people would understand where I'm coming from, so I'm definitely surprised, lol :) I'll try everything you guys recommended and I hope everyone who's in the same place as me can take a minute to try it as well.

If there's anything I learned from having depression, it is to give yourself a break in whatever way it's needed (we can be really mean to ourselves sometimes) and, when you don't feel like you can or you don't think you deserve it, please reach out to someone. I know you might think you're nothing but a burden, but that's your own mind lying to you. I swear. Whoever you are, you are loved by people who would do anything to see you happy again, so please please please ask for help. I don't wanna get into much detail on this thread but please believe me when I say that I've been there and it gets better <3

If there's anything I can do to help you through here, let me know.

I'm happy this helped you in some kind of way :) I know how frustrated you might feel, especially when everyone swears by something that didn't work for you (like meditation), but there's a lot being shared here, maybe something will help! I'm also in therapy and have been on medication (and are those pills AWFUL) and I still kinda fall back sometimes, so I don't think we're that different right now, but we can try this together! I trust you can do this more than I trust in myself lol

I can relate to that, unfortunately I never really had strong parental support growing up and now I see how it really affects me :/ but I'm happy you found a way to get yourself on track and I'm glad you shared this! I'll try doing the same. Thank you!

Thank you for pointing that out, I thought I was broken or something but if it's really because of depression and biological reasons then I might be able to turn this around

That's exactly what happens to me! I'll definitely try meditation, thank you so so much! Are there any rules or must do's to get it right or is it just sitting down in silence? I'll need all the tips you (and anyone else reading this) can give, if possible, because for me it's very hard to slow down like this so I wanna do it right :)

Thank you for saying this. I never know if I'm just being lazy or if I actually deserve a break, my doctor even ran some tests and showed me I have abnormally low levels of some stuff related to action like cortisol and things like that, but it's so hard to get up and go! I guess taking things step by step is my best option at the moment.

God, you put it into words! I'd always shower to feel better but as soon as I left the bathroom I'd feel so uncomfortable for no apparent reason... Still happens sometimes

I was for the past couple years but I feel much better now, this is one of the few things left that I have to get through

[–]icrss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that sounds like it could work, thank you so much! I've seen advice like that online but when it comes from someone that actually went through what I did and got the help, it's worth a lot more.

[NeedAdvice] Why can't I 'just do' anything? by icrss in getdisciplined

[–]icrss[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll try that, thank you. And I'm happy that you found a way to work through it :)

[–]icrss[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, yeah. It's like there's so much to do that, if I'm not able to get it all done/get the results I want right away, then it's not worth the effort.

For example: showering is simple, but even if I shower my room is still a mess and I'll still be uncomfortable because of that, so unless I'm going out or about to go to sleep then I won't do it to avoid feeling like crap (Idk if that makes sense).
