@AshleyNFlewellenLPC
I feel confused, tired, lacking passion, and mild depression.
@decisiveLemon8530
This is rough, hope you will feel better soon!
I feel a little sad. How can I beat the heat index at my work? :( I easily get sick and uncomfortable andoverwhelmed when it's very hot. I don't wanna miss work :(
@compassionateSky1432
Too much heat can be draining and leave us feeling exhausted and sometimes even sad because energy is lacking. Some people use personal cooling fans if there is no aircon or drink cooling teas and eat food that help to stay cool (Healthline "How to beat the heat").
@AshleyNFlewellenLPC
Doing my best with spring cleaning as it happens, but it is much harder this year even with pain killers.
@AshleyNFlewellenLPC
I have a super sore throat and can't talk because I just got back from a trip where I definitely overused my voice, so I'm falling more behind on school but I know it'll be okay :) I always catch up eventually
Empty
@cyanCherry449
Feeling empty sounds rough. What helped before when you had such feelings?
Let me know if you would like to get a link to an energizing morning yoga.
Nothing, I experience it for the first time for last 10 months or so.
@AshleyNFlewellenLPC i feel so bipolar but i know im not. i can feel so happy and normal one minute and then one thing can just completely change how i feel or a certain song will come on and it will completely send me into a spiral and into an episode. i feel like i can’t talk to anyone because the moment i even think about feelings i start tearing up and crying and i sound so stupid when i cry and i don’t want to seem weak. i went on vacation and we were waiting in the airport and i wanted to get food but i knew i wasnt going to be able to handle going by myself so i made my sister go with me. she keeps being mean to me about the fact that i cant order food or go anywhere without someone and it’s difficult because i want to be able to do things on my own but i get so overwhelmed and overstimulated when things don’t work. i went to this place called qudoba and its basically chipotle but better and so i just wanted white rice chicken and cheese with guacamole but the lady making it added black beans, i hate beans, but i couldn’t say anything because i didn’t want to cause a problem or make her feel bad so i just left it. i used a gift card my mom gave me to pay for it and i tried to insert it but it wouldn’t work and so my sister was telling me i had to swipe it so i tried to swipe it and then it said i did it wrong so my sister took it and did it and then it started asking if it was credit or debit and i didn’t know so i guessed and then it asked for a pin, it was a gift card obviously i didn’t have a pin, and i felt this tightness in my chest and i could feel my heart beating faster and tears welling in my eyes and i didn’t want to cry because that’s embarrassing. another situation is where we went to this italian restaurant and our server had a very strong accent and i really struggle to understand what people say to begin with because my brain won’t process it fast enough or something. anyways i really just wanted this pesto pasta and the server came over to our table and my dad gave me this specialities menu and showed me a seafood version and asked if i wanted that and then everyone was looking at me so i just said sure even though i didn’t want that and then the server and my dad started asking me a million questions and i couldn’t understand what the server was saying and he said something about fettuccine alfredo and i don’t line it but i was already about to cry and i was so overwhelmed so i just said sure and my mom told him i didn’t line fettuccine so i nended up getting alfredo with the pasta i wanted but i just wanted pesto and i couldn’t help myself and i just started crying and was so overwhelmed i couldn’t help it. my dad started getting mad and didn’t understand why i was crying and i don’t know why either. i just wish i was normal and i didn’t cry over the smallest things for no reason. there are so many situations i could talk about but im done for now. if you read all of this thank you for taking time to listen to my story.
@persistentlychee12345
My heart goes out to you persistentlychee! It's terrible when too many confusing things happen at the same time and one can't think clearly anymore. Your head must have been spinning around. I'm so sorry that your dad and sister are not more supportive. Have you ever explained them how it feels to you when you experience that pressure from them on you? Know that there are people here who want to help, you can also connect to a listener for a chat and some comfort.
@AshleyNFlewellenLPC
I am not better, but I try a lot and I have hope.
Today is one of the good days, yaaay! I hope everyone is doing great 💖
