Bio

Im 26M and I like reading fantasy stories and I write my own. I also play boardgames too. I love storytelling and playing games generally so that's why i gravitate to them.


I do have bipolar disorder, general anxiety, learmed helplessness, and ADHD. It messed up my life alot and im trying to get it under control.


Modern life has kept me from developing as a person and my romantic life is non existent because of the worry and fear im under. Im so scared of my future and i always feel so helpless like i cant doing anything to get me out of the situations im in.

...See more I'm 26 and I've made continuous orders of take out since i got this money in September of last year. I can't believe i let my anxiety get to me like this and i may end up having to have my parents to financially support me a bit. Im studying to take tests for legal certifications needed for the maintenance field but i get so afraid of my job security that any money i saved or gain, i wast it all. I just get scared that i may never get a job again so i end up thinking "whats the point of having all this money if i can't get anymore? Might as well blow it all out and enjoy it while i have it.". Thats the mindset i have. When i was employed im the opposite. It feed my binge eating disorder and just been eating take out when i could have eaten at home or gottwn cheaper and more nutritious food. Im so unstable with my job security and i haven't been studying much as i should. I could have gotten everything i needed by now but no. I only have around $200 left and i ceasing with take out right now. Im scared of telling my parents because i may need to have them pay for me to take the tests. 2 of them are $25 each but the other 2 are $100 for each test. They have money but i hate asking for it. I don't want them to get mad at me and it makes me feel infantilized and being a major expense on them.

...See more Im 26, male, and for the longest I've been struggling to stay employed or find work anywhere since i had dropped out of college since 19. Mainly due to not being able to get the financial aid i needed. I think its due to my ADHD (inattentive), general anxiety disorder, and bipolar disorder that made things this difficult My employment history is very small and there are big gaps between them. Even though i had graduated from a trade school recently because being 25 and with poor employment history it made me qualified for aid. I still remember the financial aid assistant was puzzled on how i was able to support myself with earning so little money and news flash i can't and essentially completely reliant on my parents. It didn't help my self esteem knowing that im incapable of taking care of myself. I need support if things don't work out. Going through the program is my last ditch effort to get me out of the situation i find myself in and idk what would happen to me if it goes south. I actually really do want to go into facilities maintenance (i love learning about mechanical systems, i was in college before for mechanical engineering till that happened like i said before) but i don't know if ill make it. I have alot of growing resentment and anger about the process and im on the verge of giving up and staying jobless.
