Hi this is my first time posting and I’m new here I got recommend as this site will help and slow down my problem. I feel like a failure failing to get to uni lying to my single dad gets shouting about how dumb am I everyday mother left me since I was born. Having friend used me to help them out but not feeling I am getting any helped. Sorry if my English is bad. I feel defeated I feel like life is now pointless all my friends got into something there want as well have a second opintion. My dad force me to become something what is hard for me to aim at as well that I don’t to be that I know his intention is to help me in the future but everything is not getting my way anymore. Everyone always tell me that “no worries you got opintions” but I feel like everyone knows now that I’m super dumb or them not being real using a fake smile. Is nice having opintion but my dad won’t allow it if I told him the truth (mostly about not getting to uni) everyone has told me tell my dad the truth but I feel like it will backleash knowing him the most what would happen. Since now I delated every social media and games knowing that these pieces won’t make me any better anymore i always thought games and social media made me happy but it doesn’t help my learning and I’m helping others with my learning I always never take credit and give my friends the credit but always having the bad marks compere to my friends even doe is a group work or stand alone assessments. I know the teacher wouldn’t know I helped them or did all the group work by myself. But I feel like my friends deserve to have a better life until the day I failed to get to uni I had asked them what I can do but them just showing off there have pass and just told me you got opintion I know there used me the advise they give me felt hopeless and pointless the only person I have talked is my younger brother I am failure to be a big brother asking my younger brother for help because he been the most help in my life as well I can’t turn to my dad or my friends anymore sorry if this was too long or I could of made it shorter I just felt like to make everything out.

At work, I get concerned that people around me will think I romantically like guy co-workers that I interact with/talk to, when I dont. I wont look at them when they are passing by or nearby, because I dont want people to misconstrue our interactions. Then they get awkward around me. I want to be friends w everyone and not be so self-conscious. Any tips to overcome this and just be fine in all interactions? Thanks

sup people this is my first post so yea. in the past 6 or so months I’ve had two of my “best friends” distance themselves from me. by distance I mean excluding me. I was not invited to group event, at lunch one of them sat in a different spot so I couldn’t find them. even led to this same one skipping classes we had together. these people aren’t in the same friend group or even talk to each other. when I’ve been like yo what’s the go one said “I can’t stand you” and the other said “I’m scared you’ll talk to me about your depression and anxiety”, mind you this girl in particular has been a close friend of mine SINCE WE WERE THREE. that’s a long ass time and now all of a sudden she’s “scared”. the one who “can’t stand” me told me it’s also due to my depression and anxiety which I might add I keep to myself. anyway, it’s coming to the end of the holidays and I literally have no friends which go to school with. all my friends have either graduated, go to another school or dropped out. so like now I’m terrified to go back to school because I’m not ready to have my last year at school sitting by myself. how do I stop loosing friends over this? and also what do i do? ps I think I explained all of this so poorly soz xo

Hi I’m not sure if my other post went through? I didn’t see it but wanted to know why do some of the smallest things make me so nervous like I just feel in a constant state of panic and anxiety. I feel like it may be related to a past traumatic event I went through but I just feel like I can’t calm down or relax my mind is always racing and then in turn when I get anxious my breathing gets panicky and I have to dash to the loo. It’s just really crazy. I wanted to know is this like do people actually go through things like this??

Hi all, I’m a 19 y/o apprentice chef. I struggle often with depression and anxiety but mostly handle it fairly well. I have never missed a day of work for the near 5 months I’ve been there. However recently due to some events that are taking place with my Dad, who I live with, I’m growing increasingly anxious about my future. He has been unemployed for nearly two and a half years for little to no reason after being made redundant from his last job. He often drinks too much which can lead to him being aggressive and all that. He has never been violent towards me, and I feel safe around him and being in the house, but I would prefer to move out and into my own rental property. I’m paid very little for heaps of hours a week for being a full time apprentice, and I have absolutely no idea what things cost or how much I should be spending a week on groceries, rent and bill etc. I guess I just need someone with a bit of expertise to help me out, or just some tips or tricks everyone has to save money or tell if they’re being ripped off. My main concern is I’m not earning enough to be able to support myself and I don’t want to go into this blind and either end up back here or homeless because I’m bad at budgeting. Cheers

I am new to this community and this is my first thread. I would like some help dealing with anxiety and possibly depression. The rundown is that, I have a lot of daily anxiety, and possibly depression, though I am not sure about it. It feels like every single day I can't stop moving, and I worry about things that happened days, months and years ago. I will lie to avoid conflict and do everything to not get attention. I am heavily addicted to screens due to wanting to escape reality. Everything I do, I second-guess, an example being this post - with every sentence I think "Am I just being edgy? God, I don't really have a problem. I just want attention. Stop writing, nobody will care." Even though every post I have seen on this website is responded to kindly. The other day I could not find a drawing book (I am trying to take up drawing), and I could not. I ended up on the ground in a ball crying. A few minutes later I got up and just acted like nothing happened. I spend every day in my room on my laptop, which is (daily) around 14 hours since It is summer break for school. What I need is ways to not get rid of anxiety, but to prevent it from making be unable to do things that most people would. I need to be able to focus on things, and not just my sadness. I would also like to know IF I have depression, or if I am just feeling depressed. Thank you. -B

For the last 6months i have non stop shaky hands, muscles which seriously concerns me as i believe it is something much worse (nerve damage etc.) Especially after i go to the gym it is much worse and i shake uncontrollably. I also have like pressure feelings in the top of my nose and eyes all the time. I have been reccommended getting 5-Htp and N-ACETYL CYSTEINE from health supplement shops. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these substances and has helped with similiar issues?? cheers

Im currently 28, i met my ex 4 years ago and was in a 3 year relationship, for a good year it was perfect. She would communicate with me, be proud of who i am and love showing me off. But as time changed, so did her temper. I understand everyone has there days but it felt more constant to be walking on egg shells to avoid upsetting her. I cared deeply for this girl and did so much to keep her happy. Even when i was struggling with hard days, it was her before me, but it was getting to much, she would tell me if i couldnt lift her up shed find someone who could. When we began to argue, i always tried to resolve things as soon as possible, i wanted to communicate with her. But she wasn't interested, she would have her say, express how she felt and would tell me she would talk to me when she was ready. So she would block me on all forms of communication so i couldn't attempt to talk. This hurt me more so as i felt that communication is crucial for a happy relationship. I'm not perfect myself but i never hurt her or verbally put her down. But in time she became more and more aggressive. She insulted me and questioned my manhood. As time progressed she would tell me she didn't love me But would stalk my social media pages and would constantly msg me telling me im someone im not. When i finally had enough, i walked away only to have her come back into my life 3 weeks later telling me she was pregnant. We never kept the child. She wanted to but after a discussion with her parents she told me she was ashamed of me, i worked to much, i didn't have a career, i wasnt fit to be a father and I wasn't a man. This has stuck with me since. I forgave her and was there with her through the abortion. She told me she still loved me but was talking to guys behind my back. She was un aware I knew. It became to much for me, especially as on several occasions she told me she kissed another guy and even as much as slept with another person. She then told me it was to push me away but i began to have trust issues more so then before, she refused to spend new years eve with me but instead told me she wanted to drink with her female friends. I know it wasn't a healthy relationship but its been over a year and I'm still struggling to find happiness. Recently I felt as if ive fallen into depression. My passions have faded and I wake up with anxiety. Does anyone have any strategies to help because its effecting my quality of life

I suffer from health anxiety it all started after my Aunty had a stroke suddenly and that was it! I get the left sided chest stabbing pain towards my back, headaches etc! I have had an ecg as I called the ambulance a month ago during an attack! The ecg and heart was fine and all my blood tests have come back clear also! My chest pain went away for a couple of weeks and now returned again after I had a really bad migraine and started worrying about aneurysms as my uncle died from one last year! How do u all deal with this pain and worrying
