...See more So hi it's been a minute since I've posted here as it always is but here I go again so last week I was notified that there was a hiring event in my town right after the job fair I was going to attend got canceled due to the hurricane, yet despite trying to look for a positive outcome or trying to put myself into a better place mentally to prepare I just can't stop but thinking about all the bad luck and false promises I've been having with interviews despite doing everything right according to my coach am I overthinking things?
advice on long term goals ?

...See more hi so today i was going to this class that i attend for every tuesday which goes over independent living skills and such and to make a long story short today we were going over time managament/stress and one thing that was brought up that i couldn't stop thinking about which was long term goals. now for context a while back one of my goals was trying to save up for a laptop for video editing but just as i had saved up all my funds to get it things went south and i had to help my dad with bills and before i knew it all my hard work was essentially gone so then i tried to make up for it and save up again but i eventually gave up on it,fast foward a few months later and i wanted to try and modify my bike into an E-bike in case i ever find luck with employment so it would be easier to get around town. it's not like i'm being overly ambitious or anything but it really feels like whenever i have a set goal it's like i end up running in circles as opposed to making any sense of progress. does anyone have any coping strategies or advice for how they achieved things that felt impossible to accomplish?

...See more So hi I've been dealing with some on and off intrusive thoughts and some self esteem issues for a while now some positive and well alot of negative ones in-between the more boring and mundane aspects of life n all, recently my mom gave me a notebook to write in after a mental break I had not too long ago yet at the same time I have no clue what to even put down "oh I nearly stopped myself from spiraling because of so and so" any perspective would be a help
Issues with coming off as less insensitive?

...See more So hi all its been a while since I've been here and it seems like I'm still having some issues regarding communication with me and my parents unfortunately, It all feels like it's the same weird cycle where for a month or so things are fine but then I accidentally say something insensitive I then realize how I might've come off as a jerk and despite me owning up to my mistake a few minutes later "the apology doesn't count" and after that there's the same process of them talking about respect followed with them threatening to kick me out and the tension is well tense for the next few hours or day before they forget again. I feel like I'm torn like I'm walking on eggshells and don't wanna come off as being a jerk while using my disability as an excuse when I'm actively trying to do the opposite so any advice would be helpful

...See more So hi not too long ago I posted here talking about my bucket list and today I just completed one of my goals. so for context I've been meaning to go out and attend a event of sorts and while I missed my chance a few times but there was this thing called geekfest in my town and I just had to take the chance, now I'm not gonna lie I was pretty excited but also pretty nervous considering how I ain't too good with people but I put on the mask(started masking)and it's like I just blended in and ended up not being as scary as I thought *** I even got to meet a few new people and got a souvenir definitely gonna attend next time it comes around ๐Ÿ™‚
Baby steps and bad days

...See more So hi again so I just wanted to share a bit of information regarding some progress I've made, so for a while now I've been on and off about using "baby steps" as a means of tracking certain goals I've been striving towards making the main reason why it's been an off and on deal is mainly due to how my brain processed having a bad day as essentially having to start from scratch. (which I now admit was pretty dumb on my part) but thanks to having a bit of a chat with someone and getting a different perspective on things now I'm gonna try to even treat the bad days and my flaws as things to work on as opposed to being ashamed about them and working on being better as a person ๐Ÿ˜Š

...See more So hi everyone been a solid minute since I've posted here and all and I've been meaning to ask a question or recommendations, now for context a while back I went to make a bucket list to try and distract myself from my issues regarding unemployment and while sure I was able to work on the basics like reading a few books/comics and etc I just feel like I've been stuck because honestly the anxiety of being pressed for time and not having many ideas has been eating away at me, any suggestions would help a ton
Feeling like I made a step in the right direction and ended up going nowhere

...See more So hi again I posted here a while back talking about how I was unemployed and was pretty stressed out about It with how much bad luck I ran into with how many times I was getting ghosted, fast forward a few months later and I managed to build up the courage to talk to my Job coach and swap job goals to being a receptionist which was an even more daunting task considering my introverted nature but despite being proud of myself and making a small change I'm starting to have second doubts about it and not really sure what to do on one hand my parents and brother are telling me to try and stay optimistic but I just got ghosted after the only interview I managed to land in months and it sure ain't helping my morale
