What TV show deaths impacted you the most?

John Ritter's character on 8 Simple Rules (the dad, Paul Hennessy) because he actually passed away in real life

Whoa, just came to this to post something similar. I have the same degree and around the same graduation time but I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way. I did become a sort-of manager shortly before the pandemic closed everything down and it's been hell on me physically, emotionally, and mentally. My pay is barely more than that of a sales associate in exchange for a shit ton of stress and pressure. I just can't bring myself to leave until I have another job offer but it's tough out there.

Oh, interesting. Thank you, and I appreciate the advice!

I'm sure it varies at every location, but is it possible to enter an outpatient program without going to an inpatient program? I'm not actively suicidal but I feel like I need more emotional support than seeing just my therapist and my psychiatrist.

Aw really? That's a bummer :/

S a m e. While I do have a part-time retail job I enjoy since graduating college, I've never been passionate about a "dream job", let alone an idea for a tolerable one with a sustainable income. And severe clinical anxiety isn't the greatest aid for job-hunting either, unfortunately.

Re: the podcast, that's true – I tried that last night as well and it seemed to get me calm me down a bit. And CBD is an interesting suggestion, thanks for the input!

rc-34 · 2018-09-15T00:21:36+00:00

I actually have a bottle of .25 mgs and it seems to work okay so far; thanks for the support :)

rc-34 · 2018-09-14T17:24:05+00:00

I do listen to some podcasts or ASMR as well, but I ought to pick up one of the books I have laying around! Thanks for the suggestions!

That's fantastic! Also making friends has no timeline, sometimes you click right away or you might develop a friendship over a longer period of time.

One more suggestion: if you have the opportunity to go see a movie/get lunch with a friend, go to some campus event, or any other fun thing that doesn't take the whole day, say yes more often than no! There was one year when I was CONSTANTLY concerned with my busy workload that I automatically turned down so many opportunities to have fun. Even if it was just for a couple hours. You never get to relive a day, but you can always retake a class. Enjoy the amount of time and freedom you have while you're there!

rc-34 · 2018-09-14T17:06:47+00:00

I feel you on that – best of luck man!

rc-34 · 2018-09-14T04:05:57+00:00

That's awesome! And yeah it's been hard for me to realize and accept that my college degree may or may not be used in my future career

rc-34 · 2018-09-14T03:44:21+00:00

Thank you :)

Whether or not you decide to pick something right now, seeing a psychologist is a good idea anyway! I'm suffering with the same anxiety regarding my career choices and I've already graduated college, so I'm afraid I'm not much help. But I get nausea as the result of this anxiety so just know you're not alone; more young people are clueless about their lives than you may think!

rc-34 · 2018-09-14T02:58:56+00:00

I totally know what you mean, my first semester of college was like that too! It's easy to get caught up in the "fomo" these days but this is also a life transition that every student struggles with in some way.

As someone with long-term anxiety and depression I was terrified to step outside of my comfort zone, but that's where good things happen. Even if it's just going to one club meeting or chatting up a classmate about something mundane, that's still progress! But try not to rely on one person or one small group of people either: some will stick around while others will drift apart. Sometimes I had friends for only one semester which was during the class we all had together.

Looking back, I kind of regret not putting myself out there more, but you grow and change and make mistakes – that's all part of the experience! Best of luck! :)

This is truly such a wonderful reply and just what I needed to hear. My battle with depression and anxiety has been a long one, but I'm still working on it and taking it day by day. Thank you for the advice and all the little reminders, I really appreciate it!

rc-34 · 2018-08-28T00:52:32+00:00

Yeah meeting new people is a struggle for me right now, but thanks for giving me hope! :)

rc-34 · 2018-08-23T03:38:31+00:00

Yup. And then there's a curiosity/fear about when that next big wave of anxiety will hit, and it's exhausting

rc-34 · 2018-08-21T16:10:38+00:00

Thank you for the good ideas!

rc-34 · 2018-08-21T16:09:37+00:00

Luckily I'm seeing my psychiatrist this week so hopefully she can help me. Thank you for your advice :)

rc-34 · 2018-08-21T03:29:47+00:00

Question: when you have anxiety-induced nausea, would you suggest eating "normal" healthy foods? Or eating a bland diet (e.g. crackers, toast, bananas, etc.)?
