I will be 19 soon, I can't seem to do anything right. I don't have a high school diploma or GED, I'm too depressed to study. I don't work either. My parents often complain they are tight on money, they come from a background where they had to work at a young age and had to go through hardship. Meanwhile i've done nothing, I don't even drive. I'm so useless, I don't know what is wrong with me. I just want to make my parents life easier but I make things so much worse. I often wish I didn't exist, I already tried to do it and I just got told I was stupid submitted by /u/FoolishlyTruth [visit r ..read more

My doctor tried putting me on three different SSRIs years ago. None of them worked and they actively made me worse. I don’t remember how I reacted to them but I know it wasn’t good. I’ve been taking lexapro for a week now. I know i have to wait at least a few more weeks to judge if it’s working or not, but I’m scared. I’m worried that I’m going to react badly to them again, because I don’t think my doctor got my diagnosis right. My doctor gave me a referral to a psychologist, I’m still waiting for the call to book the appointment, but I’m scared that in the meantime things are going to go ver ..read more

There's something terribly wrong with me and I can't even understand it but It feels like I'm not really here on this earth and I don't know who I am, and I can't live with myself because I hate my mind and who I am. I feel like a souless demon with no hope. I just wanna give up and do drugs to feel normal again or something different. I'm always anxious and it feels like I have a brain tumor. It always feels like I'm out of breathe and lightheaded. It feels like am not meant to be here or be anyone's friend or lover, because I can't talk to people because I feel anxious all the time and can ..read more

Over the course of the last 3 years, i (M) have been seeing this woman. She started out quite normal and we had a lot in common, but over the course of the first year gradually got more erratic. Turns out she was medicated when we met, and stopped her meds after about 6 months. it appears that 3 months after stopping, she loses her grasp on reality. She has done this 3 times now, got help, gone on meds, came back to being capable of employment, socializing, somewhat limited emotional stability. then she stops and the cycle starts again. Each 'crash' has gotten worse. She eventually told me a ..read more

My mom doesn't want to give my my adhd and depression pills because it means I'm someone who needs them if that makes sense she doesn't want people to know I'm unwell. So she just picks them up but never gives them to me. submitted by /u/saucey_packetz [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

My life genuinely has no purpose, I’m 13 and been to three therapists, my current one can’t even figure out what’s wrong with me. I eat too much or too little, and I restrict it to criteria. I’m overly emotional but feel nothing at all. I care too much or care too less. My life has went to shit. I have nothing to look forward too and no matter how much people try worm into my brain that they care for me I know they don’t mean it. I’m my parents only child and I’ve failed them, I had one job. ONE FUCKING JOB, and I still blew it. I’m chronically ill, mentally ill, socially anxious, and can do ..read more

I just ruined my relationship of 7 months because I have a very weird relationship with texting. When I was with her I was be the calmness in person, she could do and say anything to me and I'd react calm and collected and understanding (she has mental health problems herself) However I have and have had since I first downloaded WhatsApp a very unhealthy relationship with response time. I explained that to her and we finally hit a stride where she would mostly reliably give me a heads up whenever shed be not on her phone for 2-3 hours. I even had managed to stay cool when she didn't let me kn ..read more

What does it mean when you don't want to get to know anyone because the more you get to know someone, the less you like them and don't want to be around them because you're against what they believe in? I have Borderline personality disorder so I assume maybe it is a trait of that? A lot of people with BPD are afraid of being alone though and I'm over that. And would now rather be alone than deal with other people and the complex and uncomfortable emotions that they make me feel.. submitted by /u/Content-Anxiety-4657 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
