Phones are a very big hazard for avoiding reality, and it’s really bad man

I’ve seen people throw their lives away for s*** that wasn’t guaranteed

I’m about to do the same but it hurts more because I have very clear opportunities but the mental block that I’ve picked up these past two years has stopped me from achieving any sort of worthy success.

If I could go back and do the things differently, I think I would.

It hurts a lot to think about where I am now, but it’s not like I don’t want to feel better. It’s like I’ve come this far so why stop I guess.

I just don’t know how long I can keep going on like this.

Pretty much have given up on being happy smh

What's the solution. Just set it aside for a given time or try to not use it I guess

I’d say when you’re around people try to stay off of it, kinda makes it easier if you have someone else to talk to. My sister is like that and it’s so frustrating trying to have a conversation with her so I’m sure people around you would appreciate it too although idk if you’re like that or not
Edit: realized this reads r*****edly, when I try to talk to my sister she has her face in the phone and just says yeah to me and I have to break her attention from the phone to get her to actually listen

I get what you mean. Feel like I can be, but not if I'm enjoying a conversation. Maybe depends on person. But I feel like its stopping me from spending time with myself

10 bars i dont feel nothin different

Recently got to the root of my depression & anxiety.

It all stemmed from my friends(MY DAY 1'S !!!) & my family.
Picking on me , kallin me stupid , ugly & all kinds of s*** and it wasn't even jokes cuz other ppl would f*** w me & instead of standing up 4 me they would usually laugh too or talk behind my back.

And I was a kid at the time for this s*** so wen I got older before I would Even talk to ppl my face would tense up I couldn breathe an I would be bad anxiety based off of wat happen to me when i was a kid.

So w all dat being said if your dealing w any depression or anxiety a BIG help is to leave the PAST N THE PAST literally no cliche s*** it actually helps.

How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

Finally taking back control of my life and going to class today

The more I’ve been learning about my own mental health issues and my struggles the more I’m able to notice things in other people. The more it makes me wonder what underlying things my family members are dealing with too since MHI seems to run dominantly in my family (on my mom’s side)

I’ve hit a pretty bad rough patch as of late. We keep pushing, we keep moving. But it’s getting to that point where I don’t have any thing left in me.

good to see you here sir. here if you need to chat.

My head feels like the last 3 minutes of runaway

whenever it gets cold

Love you fam

The past 8 months, after I had to drop out of uni the only thing I did was sit at home all day, not go to bed until 2:30Am and wake up at 12. Only thing I did was go to football matches in the weekend. I feel anxious and depressed for most of the time. I'm going to better my life now. Finally searched for a job and going to work in a warehouse 40 hours a week. Some structure in my days/weeks will hopefully do me good. I'm definitely not looking forward to this job, but I realise I have to do something with my life now. I'm scared for my future, I don't want to work in a warehouse my whole life, but also I have no idea what study to go for next. I guess I'll find it out in the coming months working.

been like this for about 18 months it's a coping mechanism for stress

does anyone know when we're getting DMs on here?

diagnosed with bipolar and it feels like the title kinda weighs on me a bit feels like im in that box sometimes i think it mightve been better off not knowing since im doing fine for the most part in my day to day life

i've suffered from depression for about 7 years now; it's been a very tough road for me. I think depression is something that never really goes away - if it's clinical that is - so it's paramount for everyone suffering to show as much self-love and care to themselves. Also, NEVER EVER rely on ANYONE for happiness; happiness can only ever come from within. Your "angel" is a figment of your imagination; the only person that can lead you towards the straight and narrow is you (and therapists).

My skin got f***ed up, don't even wanna go out. Sucks!
