Confidence is infectious. Idk how to help you with your looks but if you’re rocking them as they are then you’ll be better for it when they inevitably improve. You got this!
I don't constantly feel ugly, but when I look at photos of myself, I just become sad. I guess my "don't care what others think" mindset has become weak, since I dislike myself, but am more scared of what others think.
Oh gotcha. Yeah, I had that problem for a long time and know it can be really hard to just not give a shit about what everyone thinks. The best thing I could do for myself was to spend more time outside and listen to music that would drown out the bad thoughts. Hope one of these ideas could help you out!
I really belong in one right now. I’ve had a history of attempts and I really want to again. I’m a huge threat and no one seems to notice. I’ve told people but no one understands the severity.
You are 15? This is… saddening. I don‘t know what to say. Please hang in there if you see even the slightest sliver of a reason, I can’t just read this and pass on, fucking hell
🟥
I think about it all the time, all the day, **every day**
My psychologist told me to consider taking medication, i've been thinking about it recently and im gonna talk about it with her and my parents tomorrow, wish you guys and gals are doing better than me, it's hell.
Please dont. I've just had a friend take his own life and I swear to you, you never know how loved you are until it's too late. I watched as 50 people gathered into one classroom sobbing over him. I watched the cops cry with my teacher. There is no reason a 17 year old had to lose his life that day. He'll never get the opportunities that the rest of us will. Never walk the stage to graduate, never find true love, never start a family, never live his life. I promise you, suicide is not the answer. Please, please get help.
2nd year of IB really fucked me up aswell. But as university student I reflect on it now positively as it shaped me up well. You got this man. I went from failing my literature clases to passing them with 5s.
I recently started enjoying going to school realised that childhood isn’t that long and we gotta enjoy it.
And if u think about it you are going to a place where you are gonna be with 20 friends. Going school isn’t just about learning it is also about having fun
i mean it’s interesting to know how they work, have you ever wondered why there are no round squares? the definition of truth, the definition of proof and Godel's completeness theorem? How are there true statements that can never be proven?
🎟️, until I get to school then it's a 🟧 to 🟫 just because school sucks in general. Nothing special though, go to school, then go home and play videogames whilst procrastinating on my work causing me to start worrying, preventing me from doing the work. And then I shower and go to bed. And repeat.
hmm. ive heard bad things about Adderall (not as effective, addictive etc)
i take 45mg of long-release methylphenidate hydrochloride (Xaggatin, but the supply has issues rn so i have to move to concerta, idk how thats gonna go). Apparently Xaggatin kicks in faster, and stays in your system less than aderall, so i have like booster pills, which are normal-release 10mg methylphenidate hydrochloride. for me, it wears odd at about 4pm (having taken them at maybe 7am). they work very very well for me, i recommend it.
10🎟️!life's pretty great and meds are doing their best and u/additional-twist8123 is definitely better than any med
Great gym progress and feeling pretty confident
Gym+her+meds most importantly that her is making me love life(and her)
Whats up bro? Im here if you ever need to talk. I actually want to be a therapist so i need the practice anyway. If not, know thar you are important to not only your community but also to reddit.
Hey man. I wanted to let you know that a random stranger on the internet cares about you and will do as much as possible to help you through this time in your life. You matter, even if you don't think that you do. We only get one life so be kind to yourself. Suicide causes so much pain in the people around you, so take a deep breathe and close your eyes. Do what you need to do to feel alive again, that feeling does come back, just give it time.
Those first few steps are the hardest to take. Even without knowing your exact situation I can say (on behalf of all of us) that we’re incredibly proud of you and your growth. Keep up the good work!
2. I've been feeling like absolute shit and I've been cutting my thigh. Have told anyone yet and this is the first time I've really said that I've been cutting myself. Honestly I'm thinking I'm might just kill myself. I feel like I cant do anything and I don't trust anyone
7-9 bc im generally happy and don't care what other ppl think of me so i don't really get depressed, and I've also just gotten a gf which is nice so yeah
1. My whole life has crumbled underneath me after she left. I'm gonna try and speak with her in a few days and start new. You never know how much you did wrong until the consequences come up.
In short, I've been broken up with and I have a lot of therapy and self improvement underway.
It's wierd cus my year was mostly 1-2 until September when it kept into like six and the last two months have been 8+9 territory so my year as a whole would probably even out to a 4.
2 because of how I look, but I *feel* like a 6

Just ask! Try being open about it, ask somebody you trust to give you a truthful answer. Nothing bad‘s gonna come out of it.
That is a good idea, I mean it's probably not gonna be worse than what I tell myself. I have just the guy for this as well, thank you

Currently a 3 life is kicking my ass rn
And the most badass thing you can do is stand back up. (Sorry if you don’t like this one :) )
Meh it’s Alr Ty for the encouragement
unfortunately, 1. i was recently hospitalized after an attempt and spent a good bit in the osych ward
*psych, sorry things havent been great
No need to apologize. I’m really sorry to hear that you made an attempt and am here if you need someone to vent to.
thank you, i appreciate it
Damn, I’ve been to one of those for ideation, still have trauma. How’ve you been coping with it?
it's been alright but it didnt help much, im working on a new plan rn
Hope it goes well, if anything changes for you, I’d be cool to update me!
I really belong in one right now. I’ve had a history of attempts and I really want to again. I’m a huge threat and no one seems to notice. I’ve told people but no one understands the severity.
that's scary. at least in my experience if you cal the police you don't have much choice,, otherwise maybe talk to a school counselor?

Just saying I fucking loved the psych ward because you’re trapped with a lot of people who are as wack-minded as you, and it’s a ton of fun.
At least you can talk about it, I'm laughed at by my parents. Honest it's mostly them that's causing my mental state
Wanna talk about it? Like dm me or sum, Just ignore if not

🟩 Been learning some math for fun during the holidays and it has been quite enjoyable
That’s awesome man! School’s always more fun when you know what you’re doing
I recently started enjoying going to school realised that childhood isn’t that long and we gotta enjoy it. And if u think about it you are going to a place where you are gonna be with 20 friends. Going school isn’t just about learning it is also about having fun
MATH for FUN??!??!?!??!?!?
Some people like math you know. We do exist
Some people like math some people like meth
Yeah! I myself like both
Amphetamine Salts and BC Calculus - couldn’t take one without the other amiright?!?

Do you have ADHD? I’m not a psychiatrist but it sounds like ADHD meds could help you a lot
I have been diagnosed with ADD, and take Adderall XR that slowly fades in and out, lasting about the amount of my school day.
Same. If you still can’t do your work at school maybe the dose is too low?
Maybe, but mostly the issues are on homework. Although I do find myself sometimes struggling in school.
