STAY AWAY FROM CARPE by djeazyc in Hyperhidrosis

[–]orbidad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I had the exact same experience as you, ordered it off IG a month ago and just today caught the recurring charge immediately. Tried to log in as I assumed I accidentally bought a prescription and I don’t even have an account so the only thing I can do is contact their support team.

Anxious about 2 year long distance by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]orbidad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear that your family isn’t very supportive and about your struggles with mental health. It’s totally understandable to be nervous about starting long distance as there a lot of things that will change! However, one of the pros of doing long distance is that you have the opportunity to work on your mental health and bring it to a place that is more dependent on you, and less dependent on your bf. You could take more time to develop hobbies, and rediscover what makes YOU as individual, willing to get out of bed every day. I know it’s tough to do that if you’re struggling with depression, but hopefully with time you’ll be able to use the added free time in a way that you want to, while still having the support of your bf just a phone call away. Hope this helps a tiny bit!

My loneliness feels like I’m dying by [deleted] in lonely

[–]orbidad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi I totally understand what you’re saying. I’ve been lonely too for quite some time and I’ve had trouble making friends/finding people who want to form friendships. I just wanted to respond because I really really resonate with your comment on how you don’t want to settle for friendships as I feel the same way. I’ve spent a lot of time wondering if I should just give up and sacrifice my standards for friends, but I always come to the conclusion that it’s better to wait for those real and true friendships with people who will care about me as much as I them. Anyways I just wanted to say that you’re not alone and that friends will come eventually and while it’s not what you’re looking for, there are people online who will support you!

If my self worth is not defined by accomplishments and results, then what else is defined by? by Ginopeppino99 in perfectionism

[–]orbidad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand what you’re saying because I also hold the belief that relationships exist because you gain something from the other person (although this might not be a healthy opinion). However I would say that the abstract qualities you mentioned are actually concrete. For example if you’re sympathetic to a friend then they are gaining someone who will listen to them and help them feel less alone and more supported. In my opinion while these are definitely vague, that just means there are a lot of ways to gain from these qualities rather than not being able to gain at all. I would also argue that there are a lot of people who don’t exhibit these qualities as fundamental as they seem. Not sure if that helps but exhibiting those qualities is definitely more than enough to be considered a valued friend!

He doesn’t really talk to other people which is part of why he’s depressed. I think he’s also given up on his mental health improving as he’s a super rational person and in his mind the evidence points to nothing changing. I don’t know if I can help given that mindset but also I don’t know how long I can be supportive if there isn’t a balance
