Depressed and wanting
I've been in quite a mood lately. I keep having these thoughts of how much of a loser I am. I'm unhappy with my life, with my job, with just about everything. I tried school this semester but it was too much while trying to work full time at my very intense job and trying to get my kids better and help for their autism. I can't handle it anymore. I'm struggling in every avenue of my life right now and need someone to help me. But I feel like I can't reach out to anyone. I've signed up with better help and got an appointment tomorrow afternoon but idk, I just feel so down. I wouldn't ever do it because I know this is just temporary but I keep getting intrusive thoughts that maybe ending it all would be better. I just can't anymore. I'm tired and need a break but I can't have that either. 😪 it's all coming at me from all sides and I just can't keep going like I've been. (edited)

You've made a very important first step: recognizing you have a problem. You've also made a strong second step: seeking help! Go into that appt tomorrow head held high! There is no shame in asking for help. As you said, you cannot continue AS YOU ARE. This is a needed change, and once you master this one you can start another which will help improve your situation, then conquer that! I'm assuming part of what has you down right now is that school was too difficult and you feel like a failure? Don't! I'm not sure why you thought going to school RIGHT NOW was a good idea, but it proved a little too much for your plate, and that's okay! Take a deep breath. You've got this!

Being a mom is a full time, tiring, thankless and often unrecognized job. I feel like all mom's feel this way. With a partner, or not, to some degree. But solo parenting makes it SO much harder. I'm right there with ya. I feel like I'm trying so hard.. and just.. failing 🤷♀️ and watching my kids struggle in the process amplifies that emotion

Well you can't be as bad as you perceive... You're studying, you're helping your children. You recognise that you need a break and say this is difficult. Start small.. just taking a few minutes here and there to just think about something different. Maybe start making your way through a new book a few pages at a time when you can, or just meditate for a few minutes to clear your thoughts for a moment. Also reach out to friends and family - they may have no idea how strained you feel and may be able to offer some practical help or a break.

I just got out of the hospital like 3 weeks ago for this same reason (and few more) but believe me when I say I understand that life can seem like an endless beating. But find some good friends, find some escape, grab a fun hobby even if its just small like bouncing a ball. If u ever need an ear just reach out. 👍

Arpl its ok. Posting here is a form of reaching out and you are taking the best step by seeking BetterHelp because they have counceling and therapist that will try to help you based on your needs! I used them years ago when I was in distress. I felt the same way at the time. Over demanding job, unhappy homelife, constantly feeling lost or like I was failing. You are juggling a lot and that stress is a constant pressure but you are doing your best for you and your family. You are NOT a loser. Life isnt about what you achieve there will always be another goal, but you will get into tgat with your therapist etc Again YOU ARPL are NOT a loser you are doing what you can with what you have and still going and that is whats important! Edit also better help is a great resource but they are not equiped to handle crisis councling they are a stop gap but the national crisis hotline and warm lines are also accessable. Best of luck all of you (edited)

Whatever it is you are going through, it will pass. No matter how hopeless you feel or depressed, but it's not like this thought will help of course. Find something- a hobby, a friend, a song- an avenue to keep you afloat and not let you sink in to your darkest thoughts. But for all that is worth from me, from the internet, from a stranger, here's a hug and a reminder that you can make it.

If you have a goal, don’t say $h!t
Just do it, don’t put that unnecessary pressure on yourself. The moment you open your mouth about it, the more eyes you’ll have on yourself (for results). Make a mistake (or backslide) and I can guarantee this will hurt your motivation because of said pressure. If kept secret, only you would know... (edited) read more

Would a song being stuck in your head count as hypnosis
Whenever you have a catchy tune stuck in your head on loop is that not a form of hypnosis? What if the lyrics to the song actually affect you and your behaviours or thoughts.

Sometimes I don't understand why people are so 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐝. But are they really?
In fact, sometimes I wonder why people are so 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐝 It's not because they don't know something, and I don't think it's right to call a person "𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐲" because they just don't know something. They may not know something only because they didn't have the opportunity, or because they were... (edited) read more

With hearts that give and give, they often forget their own Their kindness leaves them lonely with a love that's overgrown Their selfless souls shine brightly, in the dark of night A gentle heart, that beats for others, but forgets its own light

Why psychosis is not so crazy
This book has been helpful both from a clinical application perspective working with schizophrenia in IOP, but also from a personal and philosophical perspective. This book references LACAN which I absolutely adore.

Are you way emotional?
If you could remove one human emotion from existence, which would it be and why? I heard that most people want to remove FEAR from existence because it holds us back from taking risks, although it does keep us safe. What do you think?
