I am so frustrated and stressed

Years ago my dad took me to a dietitian and they put me on this weight loss pill called Adipex and it damaged my whole face with deep acne scars even worse when I stopped taking the pill a few years later I gained back more weight than i was before. My highest weight has been 190 pounds. My dad is really bothering me about my weight. I am on Mounjaro right now. I do want to lose all the weight permanently but my face is damaged and I have been to more than one different dermatologist. It looks like there are holes diged into my face. He wanted to put me back on the same weight loss pill that damaged my skin and I had to fight him. It is so annoying because he thinks he knows everything that is why I don’t always listen to him or my mom because I feel like they don’t always have knowledge about stuff even though my dad is well educated; my mom doesn’t have the most education and worked in retail her whole life. I am not even the prettiest girl even when I was 90 pounds; I didn’t like the way I looked. All the really good looking attractive guys always turned me down and never really payed interest me. I have been called ugly so many times.

What kind of smartphone do you have, and what do you like best about it? How does it affect you mentally if you lose it? pros or cons to having it?

I have an Android smartphone and I like it until I forget it at home when I'm out shopping or going out of town and have to turn around to go back and get it. Here's something negative that happened to me with my cellphone recently: I went into panic attack mode. I was pumping gas a few weeks ago and left my phone on the top of my car and drove home from the gas station with it on top of my car and then i couldn't find it when i got home and didn't think to look on top of my car drove back to the gas station looked around for 30 minutes for it ask the gas station attendant if someone turned it in thinking had to buy another phone all my personal data was in there feeling helpless to find it still sitting on top of my car I was relieved. #ctsd #MentalHealth #PTSD #Anxiety #Depression #Trauma #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

Do you enjoy shopping in stores during the Black Friday Sale? If not, what is your alternative?

I used to shop during those sales and got a smart tablet a couple of years ago and a smart TV. I haven't done this since COVID-19; it's too much work to keep myself out of panic mode when people are surrounding me in the store like that. So now if I see something online in the Black Friday sale, I will buy it that way, but standing in the 3 4 hours 4-hour-long lines, in my opinion, that's for the birds. #CPTSD #PTSD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Trauma #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

Good morning, Sunday, November 9th:

Today’s challenge: Wash your car, inside & out. Whether at home or a carwash, let the act of care reflect the clarity you deserve. Clean space, calm mind. #CPTSD #PTSD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Trauma #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder

Paralysis, again

Yesterday I found out that I could also freeze while standing up…

I was overwhelmed and wanted to go to the medical office.
But I froze infront of the door dor 10 minutes complete paralysis.
It took me 20 minutes to reach the call button and push it.
My legs trembled and shook

A nurse came and gave me ammonia to smell (which helped on Friday where I was frozen completly for one and a half hour…).
It was so strange talking to her while I couldn’t move my legs as they trembled and shook.
The ammonia worked but afterwards I had an asthamatic attack, which wasn’t so enjoyable…

I told a nurse and she said to buy an spiky metal ball. I hope it can help, as my skills are slowly dwindling…

I hate my appearance. I have been called ugly and rejected my whole life by men i thought were attractive. I never had a kiss or even a boyfriend

When I was in school even in college, there were boys being rude to me & I was bullied. All the men I liked throughout my life made comments about the way I look and they were very attractive men. I am diagnosed with Schizophrenia Bipolar. I stay home and don’t do much because I have had so many people be rude to me especially men. When I was younger my cousin put on pornography in front of me and yes I do watch porn. I used to pose as other girls online and men would be so nice to me and when I showed them a real picture of me; I get shrugged off or even blocked. I was in and out of mental hospitals, self harmed, suicidal thoughts, several different diagnoses. I do consider myself different and a child of special needs. I almost got attacked in school by men too for no reason like they wanted to beat me up. I am close to 30, a virgin and never had a good looking attractive man ask me out or give me the time of the day. It makes me feel bad about myself like I am not pretty or good enough because I have been called ugly so many times and no men that I ever liked pay interest in me. My nationality is Guyanese (West Indian). It sucks that I was made this way but hey I guess they say looks aren’t everything.

What is it like for you being a long way from home, and it's pouring down outside, and you are in the car with the windows rolled up?

For me, I can deal with it around the city if I am close to my house, but if it happens at night unexpectedly, I have minor panic attacks, I have to try to keep myself calm or just get off the expressway and pull to a gas station or something. I have a pet peeve about having trash of any sort, even mud in the car on the floor, and it's raining outside, makes me just want to jump out of the car so my cars are spic and span clean 90% of the time. It could be because my biological mom was a clean freak growing up, every day mopping the floors, etc. #CPTSD #PTSD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #Trauma
