thank you @littleoc I'm so close to done with school, but I'm struggling through it. I feel like I'll end up skipping some of the work, I have As in the classes so I have a buffer. But knowing me I'll do it all haha. That's a good point about reaching out to someone. I just feel like I need...

I seem to be struggling worst in the mornings with "what's the point in doing any of this" and then by the afternoon when I've conquered my mental hurdles or can shut them off I can do things. But today my overstressed out self took a dive into nerve pain. Ugh. Going for my second bath of the...

I slept Sunday and Monday night but I feel like I'm like a downed electricity wire, like I'm just going to hurt everyone around me because I'm hurting. I haven't for once but I just feel so terrible. I've tried journaling, all sorts of healthy methods, and all I want to do is self harm. I can't...

Still having waves of panic and that irritability for anxiety this weekend, plus some other stressful things. Yesterday was rough. Last night I was so exhausted from the anxiety I fell asleep at 8:30, but I woke up at 2am and haven't been able to get back to sleep. I guess that's 6 hours and I...

Thank you @Survivor3 and @Changing4Best !! I’m feeling a lot better today, I got extensions on some of my work just in case. I’m forcing myself to just do maybe 1-2hours of work bc I have to, but I can spread it out more so I can rest. Rest is hard. A lot of my identity comes from work and with...

Thank you both!! I love yoga!! I think that'd be a great idea. I realized I'm probably just overwhelmed and overworked, so I'm going to try to force myself to work less in order to recover!! That's a good idea! I'm going to keep the one next week, it's only an hour! The one yesterday was two...

The last three days I've been living entirely in dissociation or absolute sheer panic states. I'm absolutely overwhelmed with everything in my life and I have no more time to just rest and let it pass. I took two entire days off of school when I only have two weeks left, so now I'm going to...

Thank you for your kind words and story @littleoc ! I want to work with a nutritionist. I have trouble eating enough and I feel like I can't justify using lots of resources bc we don't have a lot of food in my house, but I'm still really overweight, or I'll finally get food and it's too much bc...

Oof, I'm struggling with this big time this week. I just want to hide in my 2D world, and it's started to make me anxious how much I'm scrolling. I think I'll read a physical book, I did a workout, walked around outside (happy Earth Day!!) and attempt to come back to reality. I really don't feel...

Today I did another small workout, but I didn't check anything off. Just followed the list. Also did it with a family member, and that seemed to help because she was sort of a regulator, I couldn't over do it. The workout I feel great about, didn't push it, it helped my chronic pain. Didn't feel...

I don't know if this helps at all but I try to do something in the morning that makes me look forward to getting up, maybe I get to read a chapter or write a page or recently I've been journaling and meditating in the mornings with my coffee. Or I'll buy special creamer for my coffee, or syrup...

thank you @Muttly ! I've spent the entirely of today dissociated after that, I'm really frustrated and just "coming back to my anxiety" this evening and I feel like the whole day got away from me without me accomplishing anything, and in the end accomplishing these things is more important than...

Thank you @Muttly I'm sorry you struggle with it too. Thinking on it there’s a few ways I think I could do it without overdoing it and not writing it down. 1. Set a timer and I can only exercise in that time, and have a general guide of the body part to work. 2. Do workout videos (although...

When I was 14/almost 15 I seriously injured myself and was told to rest, and not workout for months. I ended up gaining a lot of weight (which is a bane to my family who is OBSESSED with weight), and around the time I turned 16 and my pain was better I decided to lose it all and stay on an...

I don't have any advice because I deal with the same thing and almost all of my closest friends have PTSD or at depression/anxiety so I don't have to deal with people who don't get it, and because I thought people would reject me if they didn't have what I have. BUT I had one friend who I...

We were just talking about it at dinner and my dad thinks that he has some stake business wise in wrestling. Why open just that? seems like some money coming in for him lol.

Thank you I'll look that up!!

Hi @Teasel ! I'm sorry you deal with similar stuff. I forced myself to sign up for three things, each with a different lead person. I pushed myself by saying "it's only an hour and not a big commitment" and "if I don't like it, I can leave or I never have to do it again". I spread out the...

Hi and welcome @Widow_of_one !! yeah it's like when I slow down I actually have to heal and work on it, it's so much easier to avoid myself. Recently I've been doing better about it though!! Or maybe it's that we're all in survival mode right now so I don't have to think about it haha

Having a rough day with it again today. Strangely I woke up at 3am fully rested (only 5 hours of sleep) and when I went back to bed and woke up at 7/8 I feel like crap. My body aches so bad. Nothing is getting into my head. I tried to start my work and burst into tears. I’m stuck in another part...

I've had this problem before coronavirus isolation, but now I'm realizing it's an actual problem and not something I can excuse away with "oh my back hurts" "oh I don't have time to drive there." There's a few groups and such I'd love to join and have wanted to for a while, writing groups I'm...

My dad went on today about how obesity is a risk factor for death, and you're like 4x more likely to die if you're obese (probably a number he made up, because I couldn't find it anywhere. Something I've learned from childhood with him--fact check, because most of the time he doesn't even...

1. Have you made the transition? Is the idea of virtual sessions too frightening to switch? Yes, we did about two-three weeks ago. Not really, I go to school online and have to do it all the time with schoolwork, professors etc. I also grew up in the digital age and am honestly sometimes more...

It's making me look at my life how it was before, because honestly? Other than essentially losing my business, not that much has changed except I don't see my once-a-week scheduled friend visit and I don't eat out as much, which means I'm losing weight. I think I'm ready to build a community...

Oh man, I feel your pain. I have the same reaction to steroids. I was on them for an injury because nothing else was working, and had to go off of them because of the mood (I was only 16 at the time...teenage hormones + disabling injury + painkillers + undiagnosed PTSD + steroids? not a fun...
