Mental Health

Usually I keep to myself on these things but curiosity is getting me this time around, probably gonna regret posting this considering how toxic the internet and people in general are, oh well, just wanna see if I'm the only one dealing with this or not, literally not asking for anything else.

My wife is definitely trying to drum up the courage to kick me out. There's no other reason for that kind of anger. Yeah, it's the same things she's always gotten mad at me for, but not like this. It's forced, not her normal anger. I may have a job to escape to, but holy hell, I am in so...much...pain, and I only sat here off and on trying to find other jobs. Oof! I am so worried these pains will make it impossible to juggle a job and survive. Contrary to what my family believes, these pains are not fake. I am not lying about them. They are horrible. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch!

Hoo boy! She's been extra hateful and mean to me for the past few days, and the latest ammunition I've given her is not fixing the screen door (and/or screwing it up) to her liking. My chronic pains and the medicinally induced GERD (dizziness, extra pains, ringing in my ear) have not been helping, so what happens? She snaps at me about fixing the door, and so I do (which, yielding to her abuse doesn't exactly make anything better, 🙄 ), and I just found out a moment ago I screwed it up again. The damn main door handle will latch onto the screen door handle. I really really did not feel like working on it today, and I shouldn't have, pppp! Welp, I can expect to hear her scream in the morning when she leaves.

Self care is important, it's part of how we take control of our own mental health. How are you going to practice it this weekend?

The things I hear a lot are that an abuser or bully was just a kid, that she isn’t a bad person and that I’m being judgemental for saying something so mean just because I’m angry, that no one can be truly bad, that I have to forgive her, et cetera.

Hello, I suffer from strong depression. Every time someone online says something mean to me it extremely hurts my feelings and it triggers this extremely strong depression in me.

I've gotten very bored of lemmy nowadays, so i only comment once every few days. Dunno why, but hopefully lemmy gets interesting again or something.

I can never move to Europe (West or scandanvia) or any better country cause assholes in control always want degrees and people who are good at math.

Really flat today can someone amuse me?

TW: Will contain use of words porn, penis. But this was one of the things made me realize I am not really a man.

Has this been studied? Have others experienced this?

Between my PTSD and my bipolar, I don’t know what the hell is going on. I recently started taking new medication for bipolar.

Thank you @[email protected] for [unintentionally] reminding me to make the weekly thread lol

I can leave the house to go to work and shop by myself, necessary things like doctors appointments.

It's ok if the answer is just "cope"

i have had ADHD ever since i was a child. i grew into a very depressed and anxious teenager and my mental health worsened over time as a young adult. fast forward to November 2024 when i start picking at the wounds healing on my skin. i've done this before. a lot of us have. however, this time i couldn't stop. i would pick until it bled, let it heal, and pick it all over again. then i'd move on to another spot and repeat the process. weeks turned into months and i was still picking at my skin. the areas impacted were spreading. i knew about dermatillomania and assumed i was having an episode for some reason i wasn't yet consciously aware of, but being the curious person i am i did some internet digging and learned way more than i thought i would.

It can be linked to pain, loss and really sad things. What's it like for you?

I am an autistic 29 year old guy who started developing a serious addiction to Instagram and TikTok during the COVID pandemic. It got worse around 2022 when I lost my job. TikTok, like Reddit, does have lots of very informational and interesting content on there and I enjoyed watching lots of travel videos as well as many math and science related videos. However even those "educational" travel videos can become toxic as it's mainly travel influencers who travel all over the world to visit nice places and make give us FOMO. In reality, they most likely come from wealthy families, have an abnormally high carbon footprint flying to all sorts of different places, and likely staying in cheap Airbnbs instead of hotels.

Welp, it's been ~10 weeks since this community's been revived. Glad to have revived it more.

You made it to Friday well done! What's something good that happened this week?

There is a lot of shit going and effort doesn't feel enough, it feels like I need to do more and more to change the situation and what I am doing is just too little also I feel I am already at my limit.

Any particular things that you always get anxious about?

Not easy when you're depressed

What's your number 1 tip?

People in Lemmy 😠 prevented me from using hashtags #️⃣ in my Lemmy posts, as well as emojis 😂. This is not fair 😡 because this is social media 🎉, not Rt 🤮. Rt is capitalist 💰. Lemmy is interconnected 🔗 with multiple servers. I am stressed 😩 being on Lemmy because the diversity and variety of each Lemmy user's traits and preferences are not respected 🤔. Although no one on Lemmy likes me for who I am 💔, I will continue to use hashtags #️⃣ and emojis 😂 in my Lemmy posts 💪. I am not the product 🏭 of the Lemmy community. I am a separate human being 🧍‍♀️, and my handle is @kaerypheur on lemmy.world 🌐. #Lemmy #Fediverse #HashtagBan #EmojiRights #FreeExpression #NotYourProduct #kaerypheur #LemmyWorld #FediverseFreedom #NoCensorship #SocialMediaMyWay #DecentralizedButDivided #YouDontOwnMe #PlatformProblems #RespectMyStyle #HumanNotAlgorithm #FediBlock #FediverseStress #RebelPosting #StayWeird

Hoping that this doesn't get too long (spoiler: it got long). Not sure where else to dump all of this. It was either here or the non-binary community because I might mention aspects of that. I feel like most of my problems are self inflicted, so I'm not even looking for sympathy or even acknowledgment here, just a space to put this shit out into the world, for whatever that might help.

I'll never be more than a fetish to people

So.. i completely forgot to actually create this post lol. 4 days late. Sorry, was busy with exams :D
