Oh boy..... checking in again.

Not doing well at the moment but trying to. Not gonna go to the gym today because it might be crowded but trying to waltz myself back in the routine. Just working out from home.

Since this might be a safe zone to talk. I am emotionally drained and feeling down at the moment though I'm trying to hide it, deny it, downplay it and etc. A combination of things and I dont even know where to start to begin. Everything I need is not there right now. I've been troubleshooting with myself and goddamn, I hate the fact that just to see a specialist to find out if I possibly might have autism along with other things I'm desperately trying to get answers to to get my life on track is far from reach and sadly, I do not have support from around me. Everyone is asking me for shyt and they not even trying to hear me out. I'm tired and feel overwhelmed. Even worse, I do not feel comfortable opening up to other people about this and other issues.

Even talking to other people, I'm not all the way there right now.

Wow.. I am literally talking outloud to myself in the dark in the woods and I'm also high off of weed. Had to stop and type this because I got very mad thinking about some racist bytch that accused me and one of my classmates in high school of some bullshyt we didn't do. She had the biggest look of contempt in her face like she just wanted to get us in trouble just for being there. I just thought about something and just spazzed out

Went on my first Driving lesson today, and shyt just wasn't going the way I wanted it too.

I have ADHD and I just don't know where my life is going. I have a job, but might have to quit because I don't know how to drive.

Honestly, I'm just tired. Been dealing with this shyt my whole life and don't see things getting better anytime soon.

I don't like the idea of taking medication everyday just to feel normal. I'm tired.

I can feel my depression creeping back into my life as I'm typing this.

I hope you find peace breh. I’ve been going to therapy via the better health app for the past few months and it’s helping. As traumatic as my friend group betraying/isolating/gaslighting me was, I’m finding peace in knowing that was the wrong friend group for me to be so close with. I’ve resolved to paying more attention to my studies, I’m in a mentorship group, writing more music and most importantly staying away from any of my old friends on social media. I realized I’m way better off without those motherfukkers, anyway. I get depressed every now and then being on my own but that’s just how this year and the respective seasons are going to go. shyt, thinking about it my former friends prolly sabotaged that shyt with their negative thinking and manipulative ways. fukk it, I’m my own man. My life is far from perfect but I’m moving to make sure I keep improving, mentally physically and career wise...I’m sure better friends and better women will come with that.

I can’t deal with racism. The more I learn, the more shyt starts to point towards that. Internally I’m a very fair person and I can’t rationalize reality.

It’s like I’m constantly stuck between two selves. My normal free self and my other self that is weighted down.

Sometimes I look at things, my history, and want to break down. It’s a very weird feeling - almost like procrastination. Like a prisoner of society. Mental slavery.

I can’t accept the fact that the world is unfair and there’s no retribution.

It’s not a huge thing, it’s like something tugging on my pant leg. A lingering thought in the back of my mind of a grim reality. Other than that I’m pretty normal.

Idk sometimes I feel like before I die. I need to do something, take revenge.

I was considering therapy years ago. I’ve never been depressed or had any kind of mental break down. In fact, that’s the very reason I was considering it. I seem unaffected by things to my detriment.

I’m not sure if that’s because I’m managing the bullshyt going very well, or if there’s a deeper underlying issue.

The only thing that has stopped me is that there are no black therapists. I don’t want to see a non-black one. They will never understand what it’s like being black.

Things are turning around for me personally. I am optimistic about the future. I just need to execute and really push myself. I am working towards mental health advocacy and being an instrument of black liberation and empowerment. I am working on healing and making art again. I feel myself becoming spiritual and wishing to learn and grow once again in new directions. I just need to keep this momentum going.

It’s been hard getting here but I’ve done a lot and should be proud.

Also, lastly, my inbox is open in anyone needs to talk. I am judgement free and I get mental illness and mental health. Let’s support each other.

Feeling tired and emotionally numb on an otherwise sunny day. ?
Have anyone not you thought about extreme stuff like moving away outside the city or joining the military just getting away starting over? etc....
My mind is mush

I'm somewhat ok...but the bytchs in my head now talk outloud where other people can hear them :(
Are you diagnosed with schizophrenia?

Are you thinking about becoming a social worker, counselor or social services field?

One or two or three pages back has some listings where to find black psychology or psychiatrist.
