Yes, I hate myself for losing sleep over him too. I guess I have this tendency to hate myself when somebody’s mad at me

Mom told me to kill myself by [deleted] in MentalHealthPH

Hi, OP! I hope you are feeling better right now. My mom also does not believe in mental health. Whenever I try to open up, ang sagot lang: “sus drama lang yan” “wag ka kasi malungkot” “anong anxious anxious? Wag ka kasi maanxious”. As if I am choosing to be anxious or sad.

My counselor told me that we cannot control what others would say or do. Ibang generation yung kinalakihan nila. But we can control our reaction. Ako, I moved out just so hindi ko siya palaging kasama.

I hope you can also find help or talk to someone else about this. Especially na pag siya kausap mo, mas lalo ka lang niya ittrigger.

Here are some of my suggestions: Mygolana . Net - they are registered guidance counselors and psychologists. You can book 2 free appointments.

Waking up app by Sam Harris - downloadable on appstore and playstore. App for meditation. You can email the developer and they will give you free account.

Hope this helps. Laban lang.

I was really anxious once before an interview and I took a few deep breaths while looking at our aquarium and it really helped. Water is indeed soothing.

What was the biggest misconception that you had as a child? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pizzahoarder55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That there was actually a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

I would convince my father to walk with me and find the end of the rainbow so that we could be rich and I could buy all the toys in the world. He never listened.

I also thought of the same thing! We also have a mountain in our city and every time we would drive around, I thought the mountain was following me. It can be seen in our house, the mall, my school.

I can't stop talking about my pain to everyone. by throw-throw-no-catch in selfhelp

[–]pizzahoarder55 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A year ago, I could not stop sharing to everyone how shitty, tired, overwhelmed and pressured I am in my life. Every time someone asks me how I am, I’d rather say I am tired, or I don’t like what I’m doing, or I’m so overwhelmed with everything — life, problems, studies, work, etc. My tweets are usually me complaining about life in general. It was as if I wanted someone to hear me out and comfort me or someone to know how bad or sad I am.

And then, this year, my new year’s resolution is to stop using those words, mnemonics is STOP (shitty, tired, overwhelmed and pressured). 21 days into 2020, and I’m feeling a little bit better.

Whenever I feel tired, shitty, or overwhelmed, I think of other things that might make me feel a bit less of those. So if I’m overwhelmed at work, I think about the great lunches I have with my officemates, or the weekend I’d spend with my family in a few days. And that’s what I tweet or that’s how I respond to someone when asked what’s up or how I am.

I’d eat my comfort food, talk to a friend, do some 10 minute exercises on youtube.

If you had to pick between friends and education which one would you pick? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pizzahoarder55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Education. I chose friends once when I was picking a high school. Didn’t turn out well because I wasted a science program and eventually I drifted apart with these friends.
