The Real Reason Asking for Help Is Hard When You Have Depression

It doesn’t matter how bad you’re hurting, does it? Doesn’t matter how long you’ve laid in bed with the curtains drawn, hoping the darkness and quiet will offer some relief, an escape from all the guilt and shame you feel. Guilt and shame that comes from collapsing in on yourself, pushing away friends and family, [...]

How to Ask for Help When Everyone Is Struggling

Things are hard. The world is a mess. Most of us are feeling more — more stress, anxiety,  pain, hardship, grief, loss, frustration, you name it — the bad feels. The weight of the world is weighing heavily. Whether it is the state of our planet, our nation, your community or your individual life, more of us [...]

So, I try to stay as positive as possible with my posts here, but I think it's safe enough to open up a bit. I've struggled a lot these past few years, and it's all come to a boiling point recently.

My anxiety has affected my stomach to the point where I'm nauseous every day at random, and now getting random headaches. This morning I woke up to an excruciating migraine that brought me to tears.

There are a lot of things going on in my life that I'm uncomfortable talking about openly here, but I feel like this all stems from anxiety and my inability to process certain unresolved traumas. I'm considering medication at this point. I've been on Zoloft and Wellbutrin, but ended up with brain zaps and as an side-effect.

Are you taking meds? Are you not? Whats working for you, if anything at all? Can anyone relate to this? I'm feeling pretty isolated and alone in this because I hate to feel like a burden to others...

I really hate the way I look

Throughout my life I have had men especially men I have had crushes on reject me or say stuff about the way I look that I am not attractive and I am ugly. I have even been told I am not appealing. I don’t think I am pretty and therapy doesn’t help that. I never liked the way I looked even when I was skinny. Now I am overweight because of my mental health medications. It’s just what can I do if I was born this way? I always had people be so rude and mean to me. I don’t see why people can’t be nice, I have been through so much and I am close to 30 and a virgin.

Who in your life are you most responsible for?

There are multiple ways we can think about our responsibilities — from the tasks we have to complete and check off of to-do lists to others we may have to look out for, lead, or take care of, like family, children, pets, coworkers, or even ourselves.

Who in your life are you most responsible for right now?

Struggling mentally

Got fired today from my dream job. I was put on a pip some weeks ago for “performance issues”. I know I wasn’t perfect but I managed a 6 person team of analysts and didn’t get a lot of support. I have ADHD and started getting really overwhelmed and started dropping the ball. However I told my manager I was struggling due to stress and needed support (including staffing support). Now that Ive been let go my mental health is a mess. This is my second time getting fired in my career and I feel like a huge failure. Im trying not to blame myself but I don’t feel like Im good enough at anything. Really struggling to come to terms with it all. #CheckInWithMe #ADHD
