lying is a common theme, and now that I think about it I've done it many times.

Anxiety and depression have been better since I stopped smoking weed. It's a process brehs and brehettes. Life is amazing and torture all in one. Find you happiness and don't let it go. Also I haven't been getting on social media lately(5 months) so I'm not compelled to feel like a failure compared to others. My biggest fear is that my son will have my anxiety which will lead to depression. But for now I'm just trying to build my life up for him and myself. :blessed:

Awesome thread. I'm trans so I know yall think I am easily the most mentally ill here lol
Explain something to me, how come some people say that they were born in the wrong body and they never aligned with being whatever gender they were born into. They say the feel like the other gender but some people just don't agree with the body the are born in on a more basic level and think their body is gross. I guess I'm asking is this something in your head you can't control or are people just merely choosing to be something else because the option is there now

who knows a person better than themselves tho? :ld:
True. Based on this I think I have avoidant personality disorder or borderline the personality disorder. Possibly both. Most of that went away when I started smoking weed tho. Sometimes I will go 0 to 100 on people when they say one little thing I don't like. That hasn't gone away

I was put on Risperidone & then Aripiprazole afterwards, but i stopped taking my meds and just stick to weed. I feel weed is the only thing that makes me happy these days.

The good:

Feeling stuck and and desperately need to improve on my honesty and open-mindedness so I can take positive action. Been on the pity pot and in denial for way too long. Certainly taking baby steps again, and I would like things to work out, if not, continue to push forward.

Did a paid personality test on impulse, but it actually was thorough and helpful. Better than any other online career assessment or personality test available. Got it from a Peterson's book I found in my library. The sick thing is that most of this stuff I figure out through living experience, now I have it on paper, and it help me tremendously in not thinking i'm crazy, a bad person, or heading for serious trouble. Checked in with my sponsor, I'm doing okay, just need to stop beating up on myself and take a positive inventory.

I do some negative and extreme things for attention that have me losing. Sometimes serious consequences, sometimes just back to square one and having to start all over again. I have some clarity on my so many of my recent relationships have been unfulfilling, uncomfortable, and unhealthy. I now know why I'm out of work and suspended from college.


the bad:


I think I'm done talking about it, just getting through the feelings as it passes. My friend shot himself in the head recently. We would talk for like an hour at night when I first got clean. I saw him around a lot. I was deeply saddened when I heard, and still as am just typing it, get a lil teary. Then i got a lil angry because he had plenty of support and even professional help. I don't give advice but I tried to help him by sharing my experience the first time I got clean. I also feel guilt because I stopped calling him for about two months. I was resentful hostile during the time, and just didn't really want to talk to too many people. I just don't trust people who are too private. He told me twice he was thinking of shooting himself, I figured he was dealing with those feelings/thoughts with his professional help and family/friends he spent so much time with. Maybe I was also protecting myself. I know where I can, and he seemed off. I'm an introvert, but you won't see me frontin, no point comitting homicide or suicide when help is available. There's always health, financial, and food assistance too.

I'm just trying to think positive. My conscious is kicking up on how I offended or armed people recently because of my depression. There was even some paranoia from holding it all in.


---------------------------------------


Be safe everyone. a lot goes on with us internally, and the world is definitely busy these past ten years. don't let out family or parent's way of holding in secrets hurt you. try to spend less time online or watching news. There's a lot more good than bad in this world.
