...See more anyone else ever feel like they’re just living the same day over & over again? no energy, no motivation, no interest in things you used to enjoy. Moving from the bed, to the couch to my desk all day everyday. how can I fix this? How can I feel excited about each day again? & have energy & find joy in my hobbies again? I have no job bc I was fired without reason, I have no money, I have no friends. No one to talk to through the day bc everyone is at work. The only thing I look forward to is my boyfriend coming home from work..I barely eat & I just sleep to make time go by faster. im exhausted & I just want to feel like me again.. I just feel stuck in an endless loop. I want out of the loop. I want to feel excitement & ambition again. I’ve lost it & I feel let down.. any advice would be so greatly appreciated & thank you all in advance🩷. I rlly hope I’m able to get back to feeling like me again..
Jealousy? Envy? What could it be?

...See more hello! so, a few weeks back I made a post in here asking if therapy was scary. Since then, I’ve started seeing a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with Major Depression, Major anxiety, Bipolar Disorder and mild PTSD. I have had the worst time sleeping for a month now, I’ve been having migraines everyday, my mind races constantly and it all feels never ending sometimes. I was prescribed an antidepressant which helps with insomnia, migraines, anxiety and depression & was instructed to take it everynight 2 hours before bed which I’ve been doing & so far, it works well. I haven’t had a migraine since starting & i sleep better than I have in awhile now. I was really nervous going into my appointment but I ended up feeling calm after talking with the psychiatrist for a bit. He was fantastic! A great listener & had a very calm demeanor, which made me feel much better. I go back in December for a checkup to see how my meds are working. So that’s an update on that & I am so grateful for everyone’s kind words on my post!!! but there’s something I have a question about. I have been getting really irritated by the smallest things. Whether that be people or an event that occurred to trigger my irritation. I wish I didn’t get so angry & irritated so fast. It makes me feel like I’m taking steps backwards. Why is this happening? Why do I get so irritated so easily over the smallest things? What’s the reason?? Is it just my brain? Is it normal? How can I help it? How can I stop getting irritated so fast? another thing..idk if it jealousy, envy or just plain aggravation but yesterday my boyfriends sister was told that she was going to going with her grandma to town to buy her an iPad. For some reason, that made me angry. I don’t know why though because I don’t want an iPad, I have no use for one. & in my mind I just kept telling myself that she’s so spoiled. She’s 19, no job, doesn’t go to school, she goes out everynight until about 1am with friends & her mom pays for it even when she isn’t in the best financial position. My boyfriend had to get a year 2001 vehicle and she got a 2020. My bf was told no one could afford to get him a new phone. He has an iPhone X, she has an iPhone 15. My bf was told he couldn’t go to college bc it was too expensive, she got her college paid for in FULL by the same mom that told my bf he couldn’t go & she ended up dropping out after 2 months. Am I wrong for feeling angry about her getting an iPad after she’s already had everything handed to her? My bf was forced to get a job by his mom or else he’d have to find somewhere else to stay but his sister gets to sit on her *** at home all day until she’s ready to go out. She never cleans, never cooks, never does ANYTHING around the house even when she’s here all day & my bf gets in trouble for it when he’s been working for 12 hours all day. Whenever his sister was told that she would have to wait until later this week to go get the iPad bc their grandma (who was going to pay for the iPad & also has dementia) wasn’t able to go out tonight she pitched a fit bc “she canceled her plans to be able to get the iPad” & was saying “now I’m never gonna get it bc she has dementia so she’ll just forget” & that really irritated me. Am I wrong for being irritated? Is it just jealousy bc she gets any and everything she wants? Is it reasonable? Am I just thinking about it too hard? I don’t know. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Eveytime someone brings up her going to get an iPad I get so irrationally angry & have to walk away bc it makes my blood boil. Why though? Does anyone know why? Am I being dumb? Am I in the wrong by feeling this way? Or is it valid for me to feel this way? I need opinions, advice, anything. I want to feel normal. I don’t want to be so quick to anger. thank you in advance, for the help, support & advice ❤️

...See more hi. im ht & I just joined the app yesterday. the past month i have been struggling a lot with depression and anxiety. I am on lexapro & have been for over a year now & have never had any issues with it. it’s always worked so good for me & helped me so much. over the last month i have lost my dream job, my car, moved out of my house due to my living situation, been searching for jobs but seems like nowhere is hiring, been looking into college but it seems impossible for me due to financials and have had such an overwhelming amount of stress on my shoulders. I have been bottling all of this up and this past Friday I had a mental breakdown. Uncontrollably crying, multiple panic attacks, etc. Over the weekend I was fine, I felt normal again but then Monday came & everything went downhill again. Yesterday I just cried to my boyfriend & I told him I need help. I’ve never been to a therapist or a counselor because I’m scared for people to know that I struggle. I have never wanted to admit that I need help. But also the thought of having someone who doesn’t know me & I can talk to them about anything and everything I feel without judgement sounds awesome. I’m just nervous because it’s such a big step. I’ve always been told that getting therapy is “weak” & I know in my heart that’s not true but the nervousness & the worry is still there. I don’t personally know anyone who goes to see a therapist/counselor but I figured someone here might. If anyone does & has ANY advice at all please share. I would love to hear others experiences with therapy/ counseling & hopefully I can gain some relief about seeking professional support❤️

OCD & Related Behaviors / by ilovemycat16

...See more hi😁 i’m ht. I’ve just joined & am needing support. I’ve never been diagnosed with OCD & would never sec diagnose but I struggle with a few things that are similar to the symptoms of OCD & am searching for some advice. So to start off, since I was 16 I have always done my own laundry. I don’t like others to put my clothes in the washer & wash them or put them in the dryer or hang/fold them. I don’t like others wearing my clothes, shoes or using anything of mine. especially without asking. I have a specific place for everything of mine. My clothes are organized by jeans then leggings then sweatpants then tshirts then tank tops then dresses then long sleeve shirts then sweatshirts then hoodies and they are ALL organized in their sections by most worn hung up first to least worn in the back (for example my tshirts are from most worn to least worn and then when I get to my tank tops I do the same thing) and all of my fold up clothes are organized pretty much the same. Everything has its place. My sister will often times go into my room whenever I am not home & take my clothes without asking & then doesn’t put them back in my room & I have spoke about this with her numerous times before & it doesn’t stop. I ended up buying a doorknob with a key & a few weeks after my dad kicked in my door & broke then knob and it has yet to be replaced. So I moved in with my boyfriend, his mom & his sister in July but I didn’t bring all of my clothes with me. Occasionally I’ll go back to my house to grab a specific article of clothing & I can’t find it. Whenever this happens, I get very irrationally angry & upset and overwhelmed with anxiety over my clothes being messed with & not in the right place. I cry & get very very angry and often times go off on whoever took it. After the feeling passes i usually feel horrible & end up apologizing while explaining why I reacted the way i did. So, with that…another issue is within the last 2 weeks, my boyfriends mom & sister have been going through my clothes & taking them as well. I notice that they’re gone bc I don’t have a whole bunch of clothes here. I first noticed it whenever my boyfriends mom came to tell me good morning and she was wearing my shirt. I have confronted them both everytime it has happened but no changes. Last night, his sister took 3 tshirts & 2 sweatshirts of mine. One of the shirts being a shirt my pawpaw gave me before he passed away. I went to go get them from out of her room but she locked her door before going to work. My boyfriend has tried so hard to defend me as well but they don’t listen. I have no idea if this is a sign of OCD or just me being upset that my things are not respected. I’ve never known anyone else who deals with these feelings when it comes to their things but if anyone on here does & has any advice on what I can do to help the situation & manage my emotions about materialistic things please let me know. I’m trying to be better & not let it upset me or affect my day to day life so much but I’m struggling to do so alone bc it feels no one understands. also: due to financials at the moment, me & my bf can’t move out or else we would in a heartbeat.
