I don’t really know where to put this sooo whatever
I was shaving my face and neck last night and thought about how quick all my feelings could dissapear with the right stroke. I’m too scared to do it bc I kinda feel like there’s more to life.
My only problem in life is being called ugly, dumb and being ganged up on all the time, but for the people that call me ugly, there’s even more people that compliment me. Either way, I need a drank

Don’t sweat people calling you ugly. Calling someone ugly is usually a neutral statement as odd as it sounds. A lot of people still “dont mind” people they “think” are ugly. That, and you do more work in your head trying to convince yourself you’re ugly than looking at reality for what it really is.

So don’t sweat it. Besides, there are people uglier than you and I who are movie stars with six figures.

Talking out your problems is so much better than thinking internally. It's sort of like once you say it, it's real and actionable, so you can't look away.

that’s why i love having a therapist.

my mind is always over thinking, all over the place, it gets so bad i lose track of my own thoughts. i’ll be talking with my therapist about one thing, rambling.. the next thing i know, a money later i’m on a whole completely different subject.

talking with a therapist helps me clarify and organize my thoughts, i’ll be saying something that’s in my head out loud and come to a realization and just be able to connect a lot of dots and just be very self reflective.

I have a problem overthinking things to the point nothing gets done. What do you do to help with this?

Could you elaborate on the second bolded part of your post?

honestly, i just started talking to my therapist about it.. like last week lol haven’t really worked on it yet. it also sucks because my over thinking and lack of a social life, i have a really bad habit of rambling in social places in terms of conversations i can contribute to with my opinions and knowledge on said topic. i don’t hang around people much, so when i do i over talk, i talk tooooo much. and my anxiety contributes to it, as well. like i’ll get really anxious and just talk and talk as a way to cope with it, instead of shutting down, i don’t shut up lol im actually super self conscious about it

in terms of the second bolded and your question:

so like for example, i’ll be talking about some issues i have in terms of relationships with men, my struggles in terms of being able to accept affection or put it out there.. a lot of times, talking about things i struggle with, it leads back to my child hood and i reflect on the cause and affect of my issues. and just being able to put context behind the areas in which i like and connect a lot of where i picked up these behaviors.

not just in that way, though. but in a way, i reflect on my bipolar, as well. last week my therapist and i were talking about my mania. lately i’ve really wanted to just stop getting help because i’ve been feeling manic. then i started talking on how i love mania, it’s like a drug to me. it makes me productive, but i never have a healthy balance in terms of these feelings.. everything is always always followed up by self destruction.. like if i’m being super productive.. it ends in being self destructive. we weren’t even necessarily discussing bipolar, i was just rambling about the hardship to really live a productive life. towards the end of the conversation she was like, it doesn’t seem like you know you were doing this, but clinically you just described exactly what bipolar is. at the time, i wasn’t even trying to, i was just rambling. and it was just funny, well.. not really, that i’ve been living with and struggling so long with bipolar that these things have become so normal for me, i can talk about them freely in a way that’s not just in clinical to describe it, but just in a really general way.

What if you talk out loud to yourself? I ain't even kidding on this. When I'm vocal with my anger, it helps dissipate the tension after I've gone through whatever rant I was on.

But then again I've a hard time telling people my problems since I always feel like they don't care enough to offer anything else but an ear and lackluster advice. Plus I always feel like they'd use it (Me telling them my problems)against me if given the chance.
