Essential The Mental Health Thread

[Weaver31]

laid off but never given a reason why. I assume its because of budgeting but i dont know, I also work in marketing

been applying a lot past month and doing tons of interviews but still kinda feel like i gotta switch careers or sum. This the 3rd time in 3 years ive been laid off and it just sucks being 30 and seeing your wealthier friends get married and prosper. This part of the reason why I give up completely on marriage and kids, I cant even keep myself afloat

Aww man management must have had cuts in yalls dept. Sorry to hear that. Just keep applying for jobs and yes consider changing careers especially if u have a business degree because that's very broad. Ima contract specialist and I still have to take my 3 hour 150 question test because they changed the certification program on us and I got caught in the middle of it. I plan to take it early September so I hope I pass so I can make my next grade.

Don't focus too much on ur friends being married and having kids because we all go thru different paths and have different times to for reaching milestones and accomplishments.

But marriage and kids may be in the plans for u...but get u a stable job first.

I hope the best for u bruh!

I went, didn’t have much time, i kept it honest to get the most out of it. Looking forward to getting in the groove with this. The mind can take you to some extremely dark places.

I’ve been seeing a therapist through the VA for a few months now. It’s help me gather my thoughts and also get my anger out. I’m trying to build a better relationship with my family and support system. Not feel so ashamed to ask for help or advice. I still set goals I want to achieve. I’m prideful and I know I’ll accomplish those things. Sometimes I wish I had the backing to tell me I’m doing the right things in life.

Life’s a trip we all go through ups and downs. Sometimes I can’t see myself out this funk that I’m in. I know I’m going to get through it just hoping to see the light soon.

Been using this trauma that I have been battling towards my poetry. Each day is a blessed one, that's all I have to say about the subject. We are going to make it through, especially on these hot ass days

I didn’t realize we had this thread as well so I will just copy and paste this from a different thread.


I’m bumping this cause I need help in the worst way. Even if it’s a book or YouTube videos I need something to help me out. My relationship is trash and could be alot better I lost my pops last year and I don’t really have anyone to talk to.

I keep forgetting about this thread, they got a thread on dealing with (mostly shytty) women pinned but not one for mental health
