Hi,
Sorry for the lack of responses. I had an appointment with my GP on Wednesday and have been feeling down the past couple of days. Just hating myself for being indecisive and not taking the initiative to make changes in my life.
I find it difficult making friends as well. Never had anything I could talk about to others or share. I know how important it is to make connections with people but its just another thing I need to work on.
Thinking about paying off loans for uni feels overwhelming at times. Didn't feel worthwhile for my design degree, but what do I know.
I feel that I have too many expectations on myself. Drawing had always been something I was somewhat competent at, it was a part of my identity. I don't have the skills to back it up. I think I'm just looking for praise or validation from my drawings but don't believe what I do is competent.
I find myself enjoying the ideation and sketching/drafting stage than the end result. I just need to practise more but I'm hesitant to keep on trying.
Doing anything creative is impressive. A lot of work goes into anything, whether its art or music and its easy to dismiss all the work that goes into it. They say you don't need to be an expert to judge something, but that trivialises all the effort it takes to make something no matter the end result. I hope your album goes well and if things don't go how you would've liked, you are content with creating it. Sorry if this isn't the right thing to say.
I think now isn't a good time for me to be thinking about study, when my mental health improves i'll be more open to chat about it. Thinking about money and making a living will only worsen things at the moment.
Thinking about putting bread on the table feels so depressing. Just feels that there is so much that can go wrong and set you back but keep on living. I'm being edgy. You eventually starve without food but there's always something you can sacrifice to keep on living to get food water a roof over your head. I just need a taste of reality to realise how lucky I am. Hit rock bottom and
I don't know what's going to keep me going in life. Existing just feels like a cruel joke. There are things that are enjoyable but that makes it worse.
At this rate I'm not going to be able to study anything. Should look for a job with low skill entry. Do some actual work for the first time in my life and contreibute to society.

Don’t be sorry - I was just hoping I hadnt depressed you or anything with what I was said in my last message.
I feel everything you’re saying. After uni I was unemployed, moved back to my hometown, eventually got two cruddy part time jobs after a while of having nothing but Centrelink. After a while Managed to land the job I’m in now and I hate, luckily because of knowing someone…. It’s a precarious world….
you might be right, now might not be the time to think about study and all of that stuff..
I am reading a book at the moment called personality isn’t permanent by a psychologist by the name of Ben Hardy- $4 on kindle. It’s a bit of a beacon of light for me at the moment, between my darker moments of trying to accomplish 50 things a day and getting like 1 finished… he basically argues that you can transform yourself, that your personality isn’t “determined”, set in stone…
Just the idea of it is thrilling- my whole life I’ve felt a lot like what you’ve described since we’ve been chatting- worries about health, social life, study, employment, self doubt about creativity…… incessantly plaguing my mind… so the idea of all that not being permanent is … would be amazing. Not that it’s agreed it is, it’s just when it has lasted so long you start to feel like it is permanent hey…
the last Psych I saw I expressed my worries that it would always be like this since primary school and she basically said that my anxiety was too severe and can’t have started at childhood so there must be something else wrong with me and this couldn’t see me…
How long have you felt the way you’ve felt? Hope you find some sunshine amongst the clouds friend 🙂

I don't know
Psychiatrist says I need to make a schedule. No things to do. Don't know when I should wake up, can't make noise if im the only one awake. Can't eat breakfast if I wake up late. Too much to think about when I need to stop thinking. So much easier to set a routine when I was in the mental health ward. I dont know how to solve any issues at home because nobody is going to change any of it.
I want to make my own food. Enough food for me to eat that does not take up too much space in the fridge because too much in the fridge no thing exists. I don't want to eat will make things worse if I don't eat.
I'm so useless
Was going to walk to the library to get a replacement card so I can get free EBooks and audiobooks because I don't want to spend money. Hour walk is manageable. have to go in the afternoon because its too hot before 3.
I can't get myself to do anything productive. Money money money. would be nice to cut all contact with family.
I don't know what to do with my life. A useless immature "adult" who cant do anything. Dont want to just self pity ii hate myself so much. Nothing to live for no reason to keep existing.
So hard talking to people. Anybody strangers or family.
Wasting so much time. Need to tell mum im a waste of a child a disappointment that she ashamed hate me hates.
I'm too caught up with overthinking that I'm paralyzed and can't make myself do anything. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. How can I get myself to drink and do what I need to fix my life, make changes to myself to live life.
Do I not want to do it or am I too petrified and scared to try, either one has the same result and time is running out for me. Can't stay in room
Driver license car money transport car. I should get my liscense but never feel ready. I'm dont enjoy driving how else do you get where you need with the flexibilty. money to driving instructor to take test need my own job to feel less guilty shut up brain one problem at a time.
Stop phone when should be sleeping mobile phones bad or just symptom of something else. I need to let thoughts pass when its bed time but they're so obnoxious and wont be quiet.
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel

Hi Here2Talk,
My replies are a lot less frequent now are they. Just feeling pathetic. I'm not doing anything to improve my life.
It feels like how you feel about something is all it takes. Mindset is important but so hard to change it.
Changing myself actually involves me doing something to change.
I've been feeling this hopelessness since I started uni i think. The lack of structure and being told what to do and all the accountability being up to myself. When I realised that everything at home only accounted for school,
When you couldn't just ignore all your problems or escape from reality. I can't say for certain when these feelings started. I remember the lack of motivation affecting my work in my final year of school, 4 years ago.
Sorry for the nonsensical reply, had a breakdown stressing over how to do things but forcing myself to write a reply helped take my mind of it all.

Hello,
Sorry if my reply earlier was rude,
I'm going to tell my Mum about my problems tomorrow when we go Black Friday Shopping. I can't put it off anymore I need to just stop worrying about it and tell her. So easy to say I'll do it eventually and never do it. Procrastination is so frustrating, not wanting to do important things. Don't know if I'm capable of doing things or smart or lazy or a degenerate waste of space. I need to take accountability, which is always something I have trouble getting through my dumb thick skull.
Was able to get a new library card, lots of books to listen to. Started listening to 'The Sleep Solution' by W. Winter Chris, made me reconsider my mindset about life in general, I never actually tried to do anything to improve my life. I feel like a broken record, repeating the same thing over and over. I'm so unforgivable for being a good for nothing. Don't know if I retain info well enough.
I'm pathetic and acknowledging my inaction isn't enough to make up for my unproductive time. Started playing video games that try and get you to play everyday. I need more discipline, nobody but myself to blame for not wanting to get my life together. Stupid me. Self loathing is pathetic when its me doing it. Do I have problem asking and asking and not doing anything is what I'm doing.
Hope it goes well tomorrow, might write how I feel afterwards.

However, do be sensitive/sympathetic to finding the appropriate time - blurting it all out may overload the senses leading to overreaction.
You are growing up! How's that room of yours? Still the same as it was when you were a teenager? Would be cathartic and symbolic of your renewed mindset to make the space uniquely yours - with permission of course, but think of the emotional reinforcement a facelift would have. Stimulate your imagination and stir the soul!
