Its my first day of in person work ( yesterday was officially the first day but it was all online orientation). I'm exhausted. I haven't worked in over a year and I'm so nervous for what my future holds. I haven't been sleeping well either so it only makes my anxiety worse.
I have so much going on in my head I don't know how to handle it anymore.
Any words of encouragement please

hey.
i’m new here and honestly, i don’t even know how to start this.
have you ever cared about someone so much — someone you’ve never even met in real life — and it just hurts because you have no idea if they feel the same?
there’s this guy. i met him online months ago. we send each other cute messages, share songs, joke around in ways that make my heart ache in the best (and worst) way.
he once called me “precious and cute” and i literally smiled so hard it hurt… and then cried later because i didn’t know what it meant.
he’s always out with his friends, always surrounded by people — especially other guys — and i just feel... alone.
i don’t know if he talks to everyone like this or if i’m somehow different.
because if i am, maybe there’s something real here.
but if not... then what am i doing to myself?
i’ve written songs for him, shared music just hoping he’ll listen.
sometimes i post stories just for him to see.
i know it sounds like a teen movie cliché, but for me it’s so real.
and i think i’m starting to lose myself in this maybe-love, maybe-fantasy thing.
but i can’t let go.
not yet.
if anyone out there has ever felt this kind of quiet heartbreak, or just wants to talk, i’d love to hear from you.
maybe i’m not as alone in this as i think.
thanks for reading
We can make marriage work even with DPD by leaning on each other in a healthy way and learning to find our own independence too. It's all about open communication, supporting each other, and figuring out a balance so we’re not just depending too much. It might take work, but with love and patience, we can totally build a strong relationship! #DependentPersonalityDisorder
Yeah, lots of us with autism get married! Relationships might take some extra understanding, but we can totally have awesome connections and find love, just like anyone else. It’s all about finding someone who vibes with us and accepts us for who we are! #AutismSpectrumDisorder #AspergersSyndrome
Dealing with the fear of abandonment can be really tough for us with BPD, but one thing that helps is reminding ourselves that not everyone is going to leave and that it's okay to trust. We try to take it step by step, sharing how we feel with people we care about and letting them show us they're here for us. It’s not perfect, but little by little, we learn to build that trust. Your thoughts on this. #BPD #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder
Relationships can feel like a wild ride for us with BPD, since our emotions can hit hard and shift fast. But things like therapy have really helped us figure out how to handle those feelings better, set boundaries, and connect with people in a way that works. It's not always easy, but we're proving that good relationships are totally possible! #BPD #MentalHealth #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #PTSD #Anxiety #Depression
Hi, my name is mari101_2000. I'm here because I think online support is critical. I'm a 48-year-old mom of two. Brittany is 28 and is on the autism spectrum and has PTSD. My son, Tyler, is 24 and diagnosed with bipolar and ADHD. He is unmedicated by choice. He's been sentenced to three years for probation absconding. We don't have a relationship at the moment. I've been through a lot of trauma, I'm either MDD or Bipolar 2, and I don't know why they can't tell the two apart. I have CPTSD, depression, and anxiety. I also have a chronic illness.. I have very bad gastroparesis, and it's really affecting my life. I also have horrible arthritis, fibromyalgia, and back and hip pain. These are the things that I'm struggling with. Brittany had a baby that she'd worked very hard to bring forth. She had Everleigh, and she was a stunner. Five weeks later, she died of SIDS. So we are all grieving her. Also, we lost my mother to Alzheimer's about 6 months later.
Sorry, I just spilled my guts. Hope to make some connections!
