Essential The Mental Health Thread

[mamba]

think it's time to consider killing myself, I'm too depressed about life and I don't know what to do, way too depressed to keep on like this. I'm just not happy. old. broke and alone with little education and bills. I hate my whole family, I'm embarrassed of myself and my life and I don't even like to show my face to people.

Breh, you have a lot to live for. We need you in the community. You are an asset to us.

You need to take it one day at a time. Find one person in your family to open up to and slowly build that relationship.

I'd also encourage you to get a fun hobby. That way, you'll get out and meet other people.

I don't really have anything, reality is I'm old, uneducated, alone and very depressed... I'm not going to get jobs by throwing a resume out there, doesn't work for me.

The only thing I really think will work is just leaving, going somewhere really cheap like Tallahassee or somewhere like that, working a job at marshalls or something, renting a room and taking classes...

It's about over for me in the situation I'm in, I'm too depressed to go on like this.

Breh, I know it's tough. But, it always gets great later.

You can address your perceived lack of education by taking a few courses and reading up on topics that are of interest to you. What types of things fascinate you?

You don't have to be alone. Based on whatever fascinates you, there's probably a Meetup group dedicated to it. Hop on Meetup.

Having good people around will help combat some of the depression.

I'd also advise you to see a therapist if you feel it's getting too bad.

There are ways to shake this, breh. Don't give up.

I'm taking Baby steps myself. Working on getting healthier and managing money for next year. I'm being told it doesn't matter how much I make or what my goals are, if I can't manage and be grateful for what I have, I'll be with these same feelings again. Health is necessary for anything.

I know people in their 50's switching careers and getting Bachelor's or Masters. Any type of insurance can pay for decent therapy or psychiatry. That's a gamble, and takes time to build trust and follow directions and new things consistently. It may take shopping around, but after just making a year of sobriety, I finally found a therapist and psychiatrist that help, and was able to prioritize situations I need help with. Took a long time, but it was worth the patience and tolerance with myself. I felt like doing something self-destructive on several occasions this past year and a half.


At 30, I'm get frustrated, depressed, or anxious starting my life over. I know in my heart I just don't enjoy things I used to anymore, they no longer help or feel good. But I'm a creature of habit. It's a daily reprieve to stay away from old, people, places, things, attitudes and behaviors. The relationship with friends and family is superficial, but getting better. I found support through other means.

I've been angry all day. Wanted to hit someone with a chair (anyone), instead lashed out at someone else verbally. I was fukk the world today. Had no gratitude. I'm only remaining sober because I like my freedom on it's most basic meaning. I'm not truly free yet.

One of those days.

Don't want to work and don't know what i want to do with my life. Nothing really excites me, I just quit my job spontaneously in March after 5 years and haven't done shyt since but sit around the house. I wanted to go back to school but i don't know what for, besides these young kids are annoying af. I think i've gained like 15 pounds too since, I would work it off but i have sports induced asthma and it's hard to breathe after working out. It takes me like 2 hours to catch my breathe, i would go to the doctor but i have no insurance so yeah. Good thing is that i've saved enough money to where i don't really have to worry about finding a job soon. I have enough to take a month's long trip out the country but idk where. My pops wants me to fly to LA for my cousin's wedding because the family will be there but i don't want to see them. All they like doing is telling me what i should be doing. They're fukking annoying tbh, i've avoided like 10 calls from him because he's trying to pay for my flight lol. Odds are that he'll fly up here after tho smh

Feel lonely and like there is no help available. And I can't keep still. Feel like the past 13 months have been a waste of time. I try to to look at the positive, but i'm not getting the results I want yet. .

Might have had hallucinations earlier. Had desire to get high. Felt like F the world past three days. Want to hurt people, suicide is not my thing. Constantly feeling rejected and neglected. I know I have the help, I just nee to hold on and be patient. There is a lot going on.

Call doctor first thing in morning, God won't give me more than I can handle. I don't feel good at all. I've hurt people physically plenty of times with a slap on the wrist. Not sure if it's worth the consequences. I can only get away with so much is what I believe.

Bipolar Disorder and addiction. In recovery. Decent right now. Just can't sleep because not following my schedule or diet. Stop working out too.

I want a moderate decrease in meds, and I know it's possible, if I work for it. Have no real complaints, but feel dissatisfied in general (if that makes sense)

I've heard "no pain, no gain" from recovery places. Went to church today, and the Pastor said there's going to be lost of friends, ridicule, and painful and extremely uncomfortable times to get to the other side. I don't even know if I want to change so badly.

My understanding is that anger, loneliness, and fear never fully go away, so u have to talk about it. I feel so alone in my dark and morbid thoughts. I have this underlining rage, but I don't think it affects me. It's just there. But they say self-fulfilling prophecies are real, and I certainly don't want to self-destruct.

All my needs are met, and I see small growth, but I feel disconnected from my friends and family, but don't even want to connect. I doing everything wrong in terms of my health, but I'm not sure how serious the situation is, i see my doctors. They aren't concerned.
