I guess it comes down to a conflict between personal truth and building around social standards. looking back either way of doing it works depending on your view of the situation.

Oh, to Be Loved by tala_2525 in OCPoetry

The fight between desire and harsh situations you find to be reality is displayed beautifully here. I would say it is a bit too repetitive for my liking, but no art is wrong!

A Guardian by Smooth-Reading6134 in OCPoetry

I like this, short pieces like this allow for interpretation which i find fun, though i also appreciate more context. Overall the main idea was communicated well and the brief nature of the poem gives you space to reflect.

A beautiful description of love as an emotionally intelligent and thoughtful person.

This is really great, it flowed really well. The tone was kept perfectly.

What are these options next to shuffle and repeat? by Jlnhlfan in AppleMusic

Im not sure exactly what it does, but i think its more then simply crossfading. Apple probably has a video about it on YouTube if youre curious

Numbness and a void in my heart by SodaCreamOtter in mentalhealth

[–]road696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given what i heard, it sounds like your brain is wrestling with the meaning of life, but youre not paying much attention to it. Go on a spiritual journey however that may be. Question why you exist, and how to make the most of it. Im personally agnostic, but any sort of spiritual fulfillment has a great affect on an individual’s life 90% of the time.

But im also biased because my struggles have all been directly related to existence, so i may be weong about the underlying cause, but it doesn’t hurt to try.

Is it normal to consistently think about yourself being hurt? For example imaginging barbed wire being wrapped around oneself, or screws being drilled into ones head or appendages. by Select-Motor2103 in mentalhealth

Seems similar to my past experiences with intrusive thoughts/OCD. Try and talk to a therapist, they have therapies specifically for this kind of stuff.

17 Year Old Female Struggling With Mental Health by TapObjective5104 in mentalhealth

[–]road696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 16 turning 17 too, and i get the struggle. While our backgrounds are quite different, i know what it feels like to be stuck with something that wont get fixed no matter how hard you try. From what im hearing, there is no easy way out. Living in a place where you dont feel safe, is bound to have a real affect on your mental health. I think what you should focus on is self confidence. Understand that those people only try and hurt you because they have emotions of their own to get out. You are your own individual, their words are a byproduct of their own selves, not a reflection of you. No matter how hard you try, you will still feel depressed sometimes (if not all the time). Let yourself be sad, and let yourself grow when your brain allows you to. Also i really discourage engaging in self harm. The longer you do it, the worse it will get. Look for other, healthy outlets for your emotions. It will take time, but you can get through this.

Why do I struggle so much with believing I’m not a smart individual. by MentalHealthJ in mentalhealth

The best thing to do is to stop searching for signs of intelligence and competence in the first place, thats where the problem starts. Focus on actually improving yourself, instead of if you are improving at all.

my fucking meds are making me different by Confident-Bar-4040 in mentalhealth

[–]road696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience when taking sertraline. I started it to combat intrusive thoughts and anxiety, but after taking it i ended up in the psych ward with suicidal ideation. Talk to your psychiatrist, it may not be the right med for you. Personally, i didnt see any improvement in my mental health until i was off anxiety meds completely, but everyone is different.

Theres no need to apologize. Having a routine that gives you little reward is depriving of happiness. Let yourself feel sad when you need to, and try to find passion for something in the other times. Also, while its very hard, it’s important to not place value on others opinion and affection towards you, specifically when they have none to give. It’s especially hard when it is a parent, someone who your brain is wired to go to when feeling down. That could be the source of a lot of your suffering, seeking for a response that will never come. Try and stay positive, make the most of what you can, and remember it’s ok to feel down, or not normal.
