Essential The Mental Health Thread

[Brehcepticon]

I need to vent and be open brehs.

I have some flaws like everybody else like i'm lazy but other than that I'm a functioning person. But I have this one thing that I feel is keeping me back from progressing in life and it's anxiety. I went from a confident and outgoing kid to anxiety filled in 3 years and I just don't get it. I went from being able to speak to anybody and charm them with ease to being some quiet introverted sitting in the corner in his phone ass dude. I don't get it and it's fukking up my ability to progress in life.

I'm drowning in this shyt and trying to explain how I feel to the people I know is impossible. All I get is pray about it or some other shyt. I've invested too much time and effort into myself to let anxiety to keep interfering with the way I think. I used to get excited about new people and new places, now I'm filled with fears and doubts. My relationships with girls get fukked up because of my anxiety I go from confident to doubting myself in a instant.

It's frustrating cause I have all the tools and the knowledge to use them but the anxiety and depression is stopping me from using them.

It's very hard for me to be vulnerable and open but fukk it. I don't want to waste my potential because of some stupid shyt in my head. I have what it takes to go as far as I want in life but I have to get over this roadblock. I have to get rid of that voice filling me with doubt and anxiety. I want to be that person I was before this shyt smh

If you can get into counseling and on some meds. shyt is hard, harder than you'd think it would be but you'll be a lot better off than stewing in that negative shyt.

Admittedly i'm a boring azz person i just dont feel i could add value to anyones life. At 25 most people around my age already have their own steady group of friends already so there's pretty much zero incentive for anybody to add me to their circle unless they have no social life themselves. Even if i make friends the challenge to maintain the bond would be difficult as fuk

Don't let your perception of yourself cloud how others might view you. For all you know you could be the life of a persons party, the apple of their eye and all that shyt. Take baby steps, breh. One foot in front of the other and before you know you'll be comfortable making friends with brehs and brehttes.

Trying breh but its honestly a catch 22 its almost like the job market, need experience to get a job, need a job to get experience. You need friends to make friends most of the time, with such an empty life i can't really carry convos with anybody. I ears drop people interacting and its all funy stories about their life experiences for the most part i really ain't got nothing to share.

Everyone has some funny life shyt to share It'll come with the conversation, don't force that shyt. Don't overthink making friends, people who want to be close will gravitate towards you. Watch, it's easy.

How's everyone doing here?

I thought my depression was okay but its seems to be kicking in for me again. Running my own business things were cool but they'e gotten stagnant and I get anxiety about things not moving forward, and thats not just with work but life. I think also the holidays and knowing its the end of the year and a new year coming up you get sorta depressed getting older too

I'm genuinely in the belief of non existence or non consciousness is better than living in this earth. Not even in a depressing suicidal way, but in a straight forward and logical way.

Earth is for the birds.

Struggling real bad, got some shyt on my mind that just don’t leave. I’m so angry and feel powerless about what’s on my mind. I was about to turn a corner for the better and this shyt just happens. Really made me feel like what’s the point of life when horrible shyt like this happens on the regular.

My dog died 3 weeks ago and it still hurts like hell.
I'm now in my mid 20s and I got him 18 years ago.
He was there as long as I can remember.
I just had to get this off my chest cuz I'm not comfortable to talk about this in person.
I was 6/7 years old when he jumped into my lap and made me love him.
Please don't mind me. I just needed to put this out.

I get this.

Sometimes our minds roam and we think too much, care too much and get distracted too much at things that end up getting us more depressed and scared than we need to be.

If you dont mind me asking and you dont have to disclose what it is:

Is it stuff directly affecting you or ones around you or is it collateral or secondary stuff that just bothers you?

Around me, in addition to some things with myself I haven’t fully gotten over.

 

[prophecypro]

Yeah I get that too.
Do you think the stuff around you that kinda bothers you is because of stuff you havent gotten over personally?

It’s that and loved ones in pain.
