I'm so anxious that I lack of words... But what do you do to stop overthinking an argument? It hurts me because it was so unfair and I felt like I lost this argument, when I was just defending myself against those fucking bullies. It was 1 years and 5 month ago... But I keep thinking about it. It is so frustrating because I'm wasting my time but I can't help thinking about it again and again. Do you have advices please? submitted by /u/TryPsychological2297 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’ve been struggling with confidence for most of my teenage life whether it was with giving presentations, talking to people, making friends or just going about my day. It really has affected my day to day life in all aspects and I’m really just fed up of it. I’ve always told my therapists about this issue but they all seem to put it aside most of the time or give me some bs advice like “maybe go talk to people” which I’ve always done and still do but it never really helped me. I struggle a lot while talking in English with people I don’t know even though I’m fluent and mostly talk to myself ..read more

I’m under an extreme amount of stress right now. I am working overtime, going to school, searching for an internship I have to complete this summer (with no luck in finding one yet) and I only have a few months to find a new place to live. I’m not getting any sleep and I’m busy from 6 am to 11pm every single day without any rest or down time not by choice. I’m falling apart here. I’m tired, I’m depressed, I’m overwhelmed, and I’m crying all the time. I can’t keep it together. What do I do? How do I stop the crying fits? I’m drowning and barely keeping my head above the water. submitted by /u ..read more

I feel like a robot. i fake laugh and smile, i struggle with continuing conversations and just say the most generic stuff. I feel like i just have quick automatic phrases to say How do i just stop?

I completed my college 7 years ago. But i still think of those happy moments. I cherish those memories. But I alter them in my head to make it more sweet. There are some embarrassed moments which I change them mentally I try to create my own imaginary situation so that i can avoid thinking of that bad part of my life. I am replacing bad memories with alternative imaginary situation. I think of them for days. Also i do not have any touch with classmates. They all hang out and make parties, I left out due to my personal problems. So changing those memories okay? What should i do to stop thinkin ..read more

I feel like I live in a present hell, where I want to connect, I want intimacy but fear/ anxiety stops me experiencing it or being open to connections. The only 2 people I connect with are my childhood friends who don't live in the county I'm currently in. Other than them I find it impossible to exist in the world in peace, connect with people without feeling so much fear. When my friend came to visit me here, she interacted with so many people / made connection easily / so I tried to copy her and I found it easier to interact and connect with people but now she's left I feel back to feeling ..read more

Up and down, up and down, just like that since starting high school. Around once a month I gets so low that I just want to kms and then suddenly the world looks brighter and I feel like I can breathe for maybe a couple of days to a week which usually I spend cleaning up after the mess I've left growing in my room. My grandpa was bipolar so I wouldn't be surprised if the genetics passed down on me. But what I hate about this up and down the most is the invalidating feeling I get when I suddenly get better, my mind goes "Well, it wasn't that hard to get over it, was it?". I'm literally gaslight ..read more

I’ve always lived in a really sketchy area surrounded by crackheads and criminals. I only live with my mom and I constantly feel like I’m being watched or followed. I have to force myself to leave my room when it’s nighttime because I’m scared someone’s broken in waiting out there for me. I know it’s irrational but the fear is there and it messes with me a lot. Any advice? submitted by /u/kalanfisher_ [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Are there any reliable tests for bipolar disorder online? I have been diagnosed with adhd but I have been presenting symptoms of bipolar disorder/manic depression and I would like to either rule it out or confirm its a possibility.
