How much does economic play a part in your mental troubles?
They can really play a big part in mine
I firmly believe that if I was exiled to a shack for 4 months I would emerge as a better, healthier person in every way
Really struggling lately
I think I'm addicted to marijuana, partially as a comorbid symptom of my OCD, and partially because of how sad I am about how my life is going. I'm just so f***ing tired of trying to improve my life and getting nowhere because money is tight and the economy is f***ed up for regular people. It's becoming a burden on my girlfriend and I really hate that.

Would you be able to pursue this practically?
It did wonders for Thoreau lol
Them: How's it going?
Me:

Going through a lot and wanted to harm myself a couple days ago. Feeling better but I am struggling because of personal issues.
Sometimes I will feel motivated and strong saying I can beat all this anxiety. It's all in my head. It's about mindset.
But then when the anxiety comes back I feel powerless to stop it.
Rinse and repeat
Yep that happens. Do you practice meditation? I make sure to do it every morning.
I can’t take this anymore.
I’m not allowed to be happy
Yes you are
Doesn’t feel like it, even with the slightest joys is followed by a backhand
Got my car battery checked out, found out it was a minor fix and was happy cause i was worrying all week about it, 15 mins later I get a flat tire on the highway
Yeah sure “oh it’s gonna be okay” and I’m cool now but god damn it’s hard to stay positive about anything if it’s followed by some block in the road shortly after
I’m being a b\*\*\*\* I know

No you're not. I also deal with my own setbacks and feel I don't deserve good things to come my way but it isn't the truth.
How do you guys deal with a situation that feels like it has no out. Been dealing with something for a very long time and it’s come to a point where I feel like I have to accept the cards I was dealt. And to add to that the people who I thought were my support system seem to not care as much about my happiness as I thought. It’s just been a very confusing and stressful time recently. I‘ve felt lonely before but this time it‘s a much deeper sense of loneliness. Just have gotten so much proof that people really don’t give a f*** about me.

Pray and realize you have to push to motivate yourself to do what you have to do.
