Thank you for this space.
So much uncertainty. I don't do well with uncertainty.
Feeling the need to help people, but burned out doing that 6 years ago.
Not a lot in my control. Um control issues here.
Reactionary is exhausting.
Trying to lead with inspiration when inspiration is difficult for me to find.
Feeling hopeless and helpless.
Reminding myself of what is in my control.
Spent the last week managing a lot of anxiety and depression.
Reminding myself it's temporary.
Just getting through.
Day by day right now.
@HealingGriz ❤ hugs you tightly ❤❤
@Tinywhisper11 I know all of this, including the burnout six years ago. I have to keep my body and mind calm for my sake, and I can't save the world by myself anyway. It's good to know others are out there trying to figure it out, though, because eventually at least some of us will and that will make some sort of difference.
@convivialStrawberries8026 ❤❤ all we can do is keep trying ❤❤
@AshleyNFlewellenLPC hi ❤ I am feeling a bit hopeless, there's things I want to do to help, but I'm restricted to only being able to speak out. But then I can't do that properly cause I'm under a protection programme. Anyways this is the only place I can really spread the word, and then it's gotta be very carefully done. I don't think I'm doing enough to help people realise that alot goes on that's kept out of the public eye🙁 it's frustrating, and makes me feel so guilty. I just feel like nothing I do will help🙁
Ok vent over ❤ thanks for giving us this space ❤
@Tinywhisper11. You are helping many people around here. I have learned about a difficult subject from you.(even though there are restrictions here). Thanks to you I have more awareness of it and I’m sure others do as well.
@adventurousBranch3786❤ 🙂 thanks branch ❤❤

@AshleyNFlewellenLPC I need a vent: have no friends and not in my team chat for sport teams because I got blocked by too many teammates for struggling with my mental health. I deleted all social media I talk to no one hangout with no one. No close relationships I have ocd and depression I’m 22. My roommates make fun of my ocd as well and my rooms a mess I feel like I’m unlovable and don’t deserve friends because of how weird my ocd is and I don’t wanna bother anybody and I have so much childhood trauma idk how to interact with people I’m still always in fight or flight mode bc my parents screamed at me every day for 18 years gave me no autonomy over meds for 9 years mocked me everyday and made me ashamed of my brain. Idk what to do because I’m in therapy stuffs getting better but it’s so hard I’m so sad and lonely and I got rejected by multiple ppl over the past few years as well. Like my mental has significantly improved over the years after I moved out but I’m always in the verge of tears and hurting and it sucks. Everyone else has friends and talk to ppl but not me.
The only thing giving me hope and driving me is my little boy. There rest doesn't matter to me anymore. Without him I would not want to be here.
@jasonmp thank God for children ❤
@AshleyNFlewellenLPC I vowed to not let myself get as ill as I did the first time around, but it's hard. I am doing things I learned to do before--to listen to audiobooks rather than the radio, etc.--but the harder part now is that nobody seems to be willing to work together for the common good. It's like everyone has abandoned all of us, and I can't seem to settle myself down about things.
I'm trying to focus on good things, but good things can be hard to come by. I am taking things day by day and trying to be hopeful. A lot of things feel out of control and probably are, but I can choose where to spend my time and energy. And maybe there are ways for things to be less scary. I don't know yet. But I'm looking.
@convivialStrawberries8026 never loose hope, there are good people out there who still want to help ❤ hugs you tightly ❤
@Tinywhisper11 I know good people, but all of them seem to be falling apart emotionally, and it's hard. Nobody knows what to do right now. I feel better for myself knowing I'm in a state where things are better than in some others, but where I grew up, things are really bad and getting worse. I have next week off work and I hope it helps.
@convivialStrawberries8026 yeah the world can really suck at times🙁 it's surprising and saddening how much just one person can mess so much up for everyone🙁 we are all here for you ❤❤
@AshleyNFlewellenLPC
Thank youuuu Ashley❤️🥺for giving us this free space to share our hearts out!
I am quite worried about the piling up work on me! It's like a struggle I do with myself almost every 4-5th day! Somehow, I clear my backlogs, again they emerge up! Yes, I know somewhere the discipline needs to be more strict! And I cannot blame anybody! Because whatever be the situations, it's always me who has a choice of initiating the right response!
I am not harsh with myself but I really feel bad at times! I have given in a lot for my goal and now when it's nearing me, I am losing that sense of strict discipline and energy! The fatigue takes a toll on my productivity every 4-5th day of the week! There's so much the head is dealing with! And I really find it difficult how to manage up everything!
Internally, I know that this is the only way! Because that is what growth is all about! Learning ways to manage up things! But it's really overwhelming sometimes! 😕
I hope I do what needs to be done!
@resilience2025 you'll get there ❤ be easy on yourself, I'm rooting for you ❤ we all are ❤
@Tinywhisper11

Thank you for the space to vent < 3
I have felt very sad lately. I don't know how to tell anyone how I feel, so I haven't said much of anything about it.
I also have a sort of existential dread, don't know why it's happening.
I'm scared of the future, I feel hopeless and anxious.
I'm worried that if I tell anyone how I feel, they will reject me and look at me in disgust. I know that is not the truth for my friends, but I have no idea how my family will react if I tell them how bad I feel. :(
@treefrog1234 🙁 I'm sorry sweetie😥 I hope you find support and comfort here at cups ❤ gives you a giant tiny hug ❤ remember you are the best you there could ever be ❤
