I don't know why almost every time I'm on my days off work I end up seeing the sun rise, sigh

Stop telling me to go seek help, I don't wanna seek help, i'm too introvert for that, I don't wanna talk to anybody irl about my issues

You're still loved, new friend.

I get it, bro.

I struggled a lot with that myself.

Didn't even give it a go until I was old enough to drink.

Funny thing...The Hymn of the Big Wheel still confuses everyone...

Lately I've been dealing with some anxiety attacks, the idea that I'll never love again the same way I did is overwhelming me. I opened my heart to someone who just made fun of it and now even misogynistic thoughts dwell. At my age, seems like it's game over in terms of finding a suitable partner so I'm doubling down on boxing and going on trips.

Shit, son. I've been dealing with the same thing. It sucks.

Yeah, I've been going to therapy for 5 months now and thinking of anti-depressants as well.

If I don't go to hell, will I reincarnate as someone smart, extrovert, energetic, and a good person with a happy family after I die?

Hey, I've been wishing for the same thing, stfu!

You're already a good person in this life. No need for reincarnation.

 

[Xdqwerty Xdqwerty]

You're already a good person in this life.

Prove it

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Prove it

Have you killed anyone? Plotted a terrorist attacks this week? Caused intentional harm to someone just for the lolz? The bar for being a good person is unusually low these days... Probably the lowest in ninety years.

Plus, you are fun to hang out with.

 

[Xdqwerty Xdqwerty]

Have you killed anyone

I wanna kill all bad people and stupids (even though thats realistically impossible)

Plotted a terrorist attacks this week?

Impossible as well, specially considering it's another country 's politicians the affected ones

Caused intentional harm to someone just for the lolz?

Not for the lolz

The bar for being a good person has been low for the entirety of human history. Nothing changed in that regard.

Pls dont ban me these are just probably intrusive thoughts

No shame in help when you need it. Antidepressants saved my life. I had one that made things worse, one that helped me take my life back, and currently, I feel I do best without them (probably only bc I had their help in the first place). It’s all a journey, even deciding if you want them in the first place is its own journey.

Luckily, it seems you’re no stranger to reaching out for help, and I think that’s super brave—to keep leaning on people. I really think you’re strong enough to keep your heart large and open while you navigate turmoil, and win.

I would do that if I wasnt afraid and if I wasnt introvert

You reach out to us here! That’s pretty brave and and social.

Normally I’d say being vulnerable takes great bravery, but that advice makes more sense for someone my age than you. Minors don’t need to make any effort to be vulnerable You’re doing great not sharing too much personal info on the web, CJ. Keep that up.

Have you asked your mom if she could help you see someone to talk to? If you ever have trouble of making sense of what a “good” person is, or if you find yourself feeling down a lot, maybe talk therapy could help. I’ve been a lot—I bet me as a kid would have really appreciated having someone say “you’re OK! Let’s help you make some sense of all this..”

I already went to a therapist a couple times a while ago and I don't wanna go anymore

I’d be lying if I said I can’t relate… Therapy is tough. Whether or not you chose to continue, you’ll grow and change and hopefully that alone will make things easier for you.

Me personally, I’m on the spectrum and I have OCD: I often find myself in thinking loops, replaying my actions in my mind, judging myself, wondering what I could do differently, assessing if I’m a “good person”, feeling guilty….it's called rumination. It’s a maladaptive thought pattern that goes beyond healthy self-reflection and eats you from the inside out. Incredibly unproductive stuff. I’m very predisposed to this sort of thinking so I’ve struggled with this my entire life, and those neural pathways get reaaallly strong. What I mean by that is that it's been very difficult to change the way and HOW MUCH I think about myself, because I've been too in my head for years.

If I could give you any advice, and I know this is going to sound easier said than done, it's to be kinder to yourself. Don't allow yourself to agonize over whether you're a good person or not--it doesn't matter. Seriously. You won't find the answer bouncing around in your head anyway. If you're kind as often as you can be, take peace in that. Find a way to give your mind a rest. Allow yourself to not reach a conclusion, to not know everything, not have an answer for everything.

Hope that makes sense. Being a teenager is really hard-- I'm rooting for you CJ!

Man sometimes you plan stuff end up getting mixed up and bam you screwed up badly...my dear friend asked me to meet someday i proposed for Thursday at 6 pm that was on Sunday then early Thursday i had the bright idea to ask him if we could meet at 4 pm knowing my class finishes at 4 pm that day or so i thought so perfectly planned eh?

What? How did this happen? Forget about food my friend went out there in a hot day just so we meet and i completely forgot about it....it must have felt insulting to him anyway i message him quickly tell him 1 2 3 what went down and such he is like "ok then I'm heading back home the sun heat fkd me" couldn't help but think how much of a bad friend I'm....

Anyway it's Friday and my friend tells me he is actually attending classes with me from now on honestly I'm overwhelmed with joy what was a shit badly and poorly planned day kinda brought a good ending?
