The unending cycle of not sleeping because you're anxious and getting tired, which makes you anxious, which makes you not sleep even more.

Once a guy told me "sleep deprivation can slowly kill a man" the worst thing to start the day is waking up and dragging yourself to move across the day as you are fighting the urge to close your eyes...minimal amount I slept was 30 minutes then proceeded to wake up and work in steel rolling yeah not the best amount of sleep for that kind of job.

But one thing what makes you anxious? The future?

But once thing what makes you anxious? The future?

Yeah.

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

Yeah.

Are you uncertain of the future? The near or far future? I mean why exactly? If it doesn't make you uncomfortable to talk about it that is...

I'm not allowed to cry bc "grown up men don't cry" and also bc my mother threats to hit me when I'm about to cry (mostly when she is angry at me)

Preach!

Seconding this, modern Social Media is a happiness vampire.

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

I agree social media most of the time feeds on your anxiety and fear.

You can say "but with wise usage its ok" yeah how many of used it wisely? Only a select few...cutting off discord/Facebook was great experience for me , also not caring much about politics did help especially western politics cuz I have no hand in it so why care? Like really why care about something you can't change? About something you have no power over its meaningless it only makes you angry , depressed , and full of hatred and disdain towards others.

That flat out stupid, people need to let their emotions out. I’ve found those who hold it all in are the most emotionally and overly sensitive because they’ve never learned to deal with them. I’m so extremely sorry she does that to you.

Crying is a totally normal and healthy way to deal with emotions and most well adjusted men do it. In my experience, the one who don't either struggle to control their emotions or cope with unhealthy methods, like substance abuse.

If you need to cry, then cry. Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't have your best interests at heart.

But im too introvert and I like being online ;-;

Speaking of "grown men dont cry" I was in a chatroom stating I was depressed and someone told me to "just be a man". I heard that happens with other depressed men aswell

Just because someone gives advice doesn't mean it's good advice worth listening to, and the internet is full of people looking to kick someone when they're down. I wouldn't let someone like that get to you. It's ok to be sad or cry, doesn't make you weak or lesser in any way.

You know what the fuck I meant lol. /j

Anyway, I get it, I really do, it’s difficult to socialise and make connections when you don’t want to experience so many conflicting emotions.

But there’s ways of reducing social media use whilst also being an introvert, make a plan, recognise your triggers, engage in offline hobbies that you personally find rewarding, check your screen time and this will all lead to reduced usage over time.

Don’t replace social media with another screen either, and after a period of reduced social media usage, you’ll see the change.

Trust me, it’s not as difficult as they make it out to be, and this may sound scary but it isn’t—there will come a time where you can’t run to the web to get away from your problems.

I believe I should kill myself and rot in hell for all eternity

Why are you saying that?

WOAH RELAX

You’re young, why in the world would you resort to something so drastic that wouldn't fulfill anything? It wouldn't ease the pain, it’d just hurt anyone who cared for you.

Trust me, it’s not fun, suicide is something painful and NOT worth it.
