I sometimes resent my family for keeping me alive.
Hi guys I'm new to this You all are wonderful I feel lonely from time to time I'm scared of hurting people I have the best siblings but I don't know if I can be open minded with them have a lot of trust issues I have a boyfriend he's going threw alot but I don't think my family likes him he's the kind that brings me flowers and stuff respects me at all times he is so fun to be around i just dont Know how to tell my family I'm dating him I'm scared they will reject him. What should I do?
i have personally experienced a real life version of shakespeare's tragedy macbeth!
I pretend like I take good care of myself but when I'm alone I smoke like a chimney
I have a really bad addiction to sex. I manipulate men now. I use men. I don't feel anything anymore. No emotions, nothing. I don't know what to do.
Thanks for sharing that. I can relate. I have only recently gotten sober from my sex addiction. I feel as if it is a constant struggle to not keep fantasizing about the things I used to do. If I needed extra cash I would ask one of my male friends for money and I knew I had to have sex to get what I wanted. I felt I like I was taking care of myself and getting what I wanted at the same time (the easy way). However, I have severe emotional and mental scars from my behavior.
I hate my body and everything about it. I come off as cheerful, loud, nonchalant and cocky, but in reality I am so so insecure. I'm constantly plagued and harassed by this unexplainable indescribable aching feeling that I can't put words to, and it feels like physical depression if that's even a thing. It aches from my spine and towards my mind, spontaneously and I can't explain it. I'm hurting all the time and idk what to do. Please. someone. Am I crazy?
Yesterday was my 25th birthday. And it was also the day I self-harmed for the first time.
I fear I've fallen in love with someone I probably will never get a chance to be with.
I feel like a failure in everything.
I keep hoping that something goes wrong in the relationship so that I can have another chance with him even though I know I shouldn't waste my time.
I feel like I don't have a reason to have depression or self harm because I have a good life.
I feel the same way. I think about people who are worse off and it feels like I'm not allowed to have depression.
