anxiety

Hi, I had a traumatic mental health admission in September where security guards attacked me and the police arrested me and took me to the mental hospital. Since then I have been having a lot of intrusive thoughts worrying that bad things are going to happen in my life in the future even though...

I feel so overwhelmed, and my job is making me sick at this point. I hate it. But I can't do anything else, I feel like I'm too weak to handle this 9/5 workday thing. I want to be free, to be free of these burdens, to be myself, to be happy. But reality won't have it. And I will suffer like...

Two-page reference for coping with anxiety, using: 1.) Deep breathing 2.) Challenging irrational thoughts 3.) Use imagery

So to my recollection, I have always had this problem however this year it has only gotten worse. It probably came to light last summer when I was doing my internship. It was alright for the first 2 months as everything was new to me however the tasks started getting repetitive and less...

I'm open to any idea really, what works best for you? I tried meds many times before but the side effects freak me out, highly doubt I'd ever go back. As for therapy, most professionals disappointed me in some way. It doesn't need to be a "treat" same way doctors cure illnesses, just anything...

It's all quite understandable. It's like being a young kid again and on Sunday you really don't want to go to school the next day. Maybe because there is a lesson you don't want to go too, or a fight you don't want to have with some twat that thinks they're rock hard, or simply because you've...

I am open to any advice or idea. So I have an anxiety, and a really REALLY bad hypochondria. Every once in a while I am convinced that I have cancer. Last year, I thought that I had breast cancer in September because my breasts were hurting a bit, so I took an appointment for an ultrasound and...

I'm 17 years old and I live with my grandparents. About two months ago, I made things official with the guy that I've had feelings for since the 3rd grade. About three weeks ago, I let him take my virginity. It was 100% consensual and he pulled out. I am on birth control, but sometimes I don't...

I will need to explain a few things first so that I can get the right advice for this context, sorry for the long read. Until a few weeks ago, I used to be fairly cold and stubborn when it came down to what was on my mind and refusing to talk about things with anybody until I basically had a...

Hey, If you are a young teen like me *hiya this is a place for you. -Benjamin Franklin

I do not trust anybody that says they've been with someone smaller 4-5 inches vs 6-7 and enjoyed it more. I hate dating, I hate pornography, I hate how men have it so much harder than women just because of stupid genetics. Why couldn't everyone just have a generic size, the world would be a much...

I suffer from Bipolar II, PTSD and chronic anxiety. When I started dating my ex-wife in 2015 I told her all about it and explained it in as much detail as I could. I'm up front about it when meeting someone new for a relationship because I know firsthand that it is not easy living with someone...

I was feeling really good about myself after therapy yesterday. i felt really positive and happy for once. I contacted my friends again, I made plans to meet up, I didn't stay locked in my room today, I indulged in sweets. That kind of stuff. Once upon a time they were normal stuff. But here I...

Anybody else on here have a legit fear of other people or feel like you're so socially inept to the point where you can not communicate with the majority of other people? My mom and social worker came to visit today they were giving me crap about not leaving the house and not working i feel...

"You look beautiful" means nothing unless you believe it So stop telling me that tight black dress looks good on me because honestly I feel disgusting in it And it's too tight around my belly to the point where it makes me want to puke everything I ever ate And stop telling me "love yourself"...

Like I noticed today I was in a great mood and decided I wanted to visit my bf at work. I’ve been in a funk the past few days and haven’t wanted to be around anyone, even him. But I figured since I was feeling a bit better I would visit. As soon as I was with him I felt all my walls go up. I...
