Will I ever get better?

...See more Ive struggled with mental health problems for around six or seven years now. Its exhausting. I dont know how to explain it, but I just feel incredibly demotivated and dissatisfied with life. I really want to enjoy life, and to do fun things and feel like doing things, but Im just lacking the ability to feel that joy. Its been that way for so long now, that I cant really remember what it was like to not feel so numb. I feel so different from everyone else, I feel like Im boring and that people never want to spend time with me. No one, besides maybe three people, really texts me or makes plans. I feel lonely, I feel isolated because of my mental illness. Im wondering whether this will ever stop. Its been so long now that Im wondering if it will ever get easier. I feel like people dont understand how I feel, and if I bring it up it will just worry them or make them like me even less. I just dont know what to do anymore, and Im really trying. Im going to therapy again, so Im hoping that helps, but if it doesnt then I dont know what to do. I just wanted to tell someone this, I dont know who to talk to. No one would understand how empty I just feel all the time. I feel like maybe Im too far gone to be able to help myself. this was a bit of a rant. Thanks for listening.

...See more Hey! Im nineteen-years-old and Ive been on the pill now for about a year and a half. however, I have developed this huge anxiety around somehow becoming pregnant whenever I have sex. It happens every month that I have any sort of sexual experience; not even just penetration. I use protection, and Im on the pill, but my brain always sneaks in horrible thoughts and what ifs that get me very very anxious every single time. Its becoming a problem that affects me during sex and foreplay, because I am so aware of whats happening and how close any unprotected skin is to me, that I cant actually get my mind into a place that can make me focus and enjoy it. does anyone have any advice?

...See more The first time I had sex, it hurt, and I thought that it was normal and that it would eventually get easier. But it has now been around a year and sex still hurts a lot for me. Ive tried all kinds of lube in case I was just sensitive, and Ive been trying to train myself to relax a bit, but when it comes down to having sex, its so painful. It makes my confidence go way down when Im with guys, and I just wish I could enjoy sex like everyone else seems to. does anyone know what I could do?

...See more Hey! I have a lot of anxiety around going for an STI test because Im afraid of what they might say. I know that as a sexually active teen, I should get tested but Im just really scared of what will happen, and I feel very anxious about the entire thing. I dont think there is anything wrong with me, and Ive only had two sexual partners, but what if there is something very very bad that I dont know about! I know I should just get it done, but Im literally terrified and Ive put it off for so long that theres not even a good excuse anymore. do you guys have any advice?

...See more Hey! I was just curious as to why one would have to take a mini pill at the same time every day, but I dont have to take my combination pill at the same time every day! I take my combination pill every day, but not at the same time (because sometimes I sleep in) is there a reason for this? Should I still be taking mine at the same time even though its not needed? Thank you!

...See more I used to be so full of opinions, and values and thoughts but now I just feel empty. There are never any thoughts going through my mind; Im just walking around like a hollow being. I dont know what to do, I want to be able to be passionate about things again, and to have things going through my mind. does anyone else feel this way? Is there anything I can do?
Do you feel angry?

...See more When Im feeling depressed I get angry, especially when someone tells me that they also feel down. I dont really understand why; anger is in no way in my nature and I rarely feel angry about things in general. I dont express my anger to people, because I know thats not the way to handle these situations, but this anger makes me feel like a bad person. I dont want to feel angry when someone needs some help; thats an ugly way to feel about the situation. If I wasnt feeling depressed or down, I would be more than happy to assist someone and I have done so on many occasions. Maybe I feel angry because Im jealous that they are strong enough to share how they feel so openly and ask for help so easily. Maybe I just get disheartened always being the one helping people and getting little in return. I dont know. I think about this a lot, Im trying to understand. does anyone else feel the same way? What can I do?
