How are you anons doing? what are you struggling with?

I was looking for a specific type of job, not some retail/warehouse/call centre bullshit, but something that would suit me. Not gonna happen by now, so now I'm looking for literally any job I can, just to start moving somewhere in life.

> I was unemployed for a while and I have to say, even doing a shitty minimum wage (technically less) paper pushing job, my quality of life was way better and my depression improved

I'm 100% sure that this will happen to me, because I could actually go out do stuff, buy shit I need and try to chase my dreams idk

Copy pasting since my thread was ignored.

Help a 24yo user who never touched a girl before. I met a qt through tinder and we're going on a date in a few days. Should i keep texting her until then?
Im scared of looking desperate and running out of things to talk about on the date if i do, but im also scared of her losing interest if i dont.

Also im kinda freaking out about the whole date thing. Its the first time im going out with a girl and im worried about not knowing what to say, how to kiss, what to do with my hands, if its going to be awkward, etc

Part of me just wants to cancel everything, never talk to her again and go back to my comfort zone.

Abusive family.
I've been locked in my room for three days because I'm afraid they'll yell at me if I leave.

I think you're putting too much pressure on yourself. Think about the worst case scenario, realistically - you fuck up the date and it's kind of awkward, so you keep swiping on Tinder or whatever until the next one comes along. That's all that can happen. That is literally the worst realistic outcome of this.

Don't put so much thought into how much you're texting her beforehand or not, if the conversation is flowing go with it, if it isn't then go easy on the texting. Don't force texting if it isn't happening organically, imo. Generally speaking, just don't over think, make peace with the fact it may or may not go well, and roll with it as it comes.

I am actually struggling with a very weird state of mind that boggled me since a kid. I always felt incredibly egocentric and that all the kids, friends, relatives, mom and dad always watched me and that the whole world also watches me constantly and what I do. It is somehow an anxiety and a fear of what other might say. I know they don't care and that nobody really cares and I do shit for myself and for my family but this shitty state of mind that I'm on a pedestal and the whole school just waits for me to change my shirt etc. Is so fucked up and I finally cured myself of it and I feel like a human finally.

Had a pretty big anxiety attack a couple days ago. Since then it's been a little rough. I think it's do to living so far out and away from everybody and it being summer break, and my brain just tends to wander when I'm bored.
I think I'm dealing with it pretty well though. I'm going to start practicing mindfulness and keep myself grounded.

Everything is going pretty well I'd say which is unusual because I usually complain a lot about how shit everything is. The biggest struggle I've had in the recent past is this semester of school though, I picked up smoking weed again after not doing it for a while and it caused my grades to drop along with my motivation so obviously I stopped doing that, a bit too late to save my grades though ):
Other than that I'm happy with the way things are going everything seems way more in my control than before.

Once I was drunk, I went to sleep at a friend house. A very good friend. During the night I woke up, I didn't know where I was, it was all dark, I did not know how to turn on the lights, I had a panic attack (one of the two or three I had in my life), I thought I was kidnapped and kept in a cell, I pissed on a carpet, found the door and ran out of the house.
This happened more than a year ago, and I still feel a worthless piece of shit about that, even if my friend forgived me.

Panic attacks happen. They are not your fault.

I'm really sad I got banned from my favorite subreddit. I posted something raunchy (I see raunchy on there all the time) but they told me it was no good and banned me.

It's crazy how just a little over a year and a half ago I couldn't go even a few brief hrs without having a drink, even then I would have to hold out my hand just to see how bad it would shake do to detox. Now I only have 2 months left on probation.

I've learned and have come a far way from where I was, but I dont know if it'll be enough..

About one year ago, I quitted all drugs. I had tried pretty much everything, and in the last period I was doing heroin (smoked, not injected) one or two times per week. I wasn't really addicted, but sure I was waiting for saturday to do a smoke. Then something happened and I quitted from one day to the next.

But I don't think I could ever quit alcohol. If you did, you are strong. I hope the best for you.

Miss my friends a bit, but I don't really deserve friends.

Family shit. Got a job, my grandmother and mother kept fighting over stupid crap

I would move out but don't have enough resources let alone enough paychecks for buying my own house or an car (Can't drive)

I need to shit but I have a hemorroid and wiping is such a pain in the ass.

Im struggling with my best friend who lives a state over. He has developed mental disabilities over the years and seems unfit to work. He lost almost all his money, and has to go to court soon to pay out for crashing into someone else. He will likely owe 10k. In my last talk with him, he said everything will be fine because he is with God and Jesus. He was acting very out of character i think he was sort've using Christianity as a last resort. I think he has enough money to pay rent for a couple of months. But he will have nothing left after the court settlement. The big reason im worried is that the girl he was living with broke up with him because they were having money issues. She was working fulltime and he was just eating into his savings the whole time. They share a lease but I think either he was kicked out or she was i dont know. But they are split. I dont know what his living situation is but i know that he has internet access 247. So it is likely he is still living in his flat that he leased with her. Im very scared that he will attempt suicide. He told me that recently he has disowned his mother and brother which is not that shocking about his mom but he was in good terms with his brother. I dont think he has made any friends in his new state. I fear he will die starving soon.

to figure out what day of the week it is when i wake up, since it summer

I'm trying to shrink my stomach because I'm a fat fuck. I think it's working though. I had too much to drink tonight and my stomach is hurting like a stretch feeling.
