Live look at me (hopefully) starting to feel more like myself than I have in the past month:

Gm frens. Today's going to be difficult. I have been upset with one of my friends (I have very few, making it even less fun when we fight) for a week now. I am trying to work on speaking up to advocate for myself instead of dismissing my emotions. Usually, I would've dismissed my feelings and we wouldn't still be fighting. What I am learning is that I really prefer the easiest path back to peace, regardless of whether that solves anything. This has led me to all kinds of bad relationships, both platonic and not, over the years. So it's important that I try, but I also don't always do well trying to speak. My anxiety really makes it difficult, especially when I'm upset with someone. I can't simultaneously acknowledge how I feel and not risk upsetting them, so I usually default to ignoring myself to make sure the other person is content. Today, I am going to try the opposite and work to explain my thoughts to my friend. I tried this a couple of days ago on the phone and it went very poorly. I just get overwhelmed so easily. I wish it wasn't so difficult for me to tell people how I feel. Writing helps. I'm much better at that. I can make edits, take my time, and think through things in a way that I can't when trying to speak and react in real time. 2025 has been a big growth year for me. I used to think I was a good communicator. I am now realizing that I am a terrible communicator and a great doormat, which is why my conflicts always resolve so efficiently. I am going to stop now, as I already feel a bit overwhelmed. I am scared. I fear I am going to end this friendship if I can even articulate what I am thinking. 😔

Sorry in advance. Sharing this to /mentalhealth in case anyone else is struggling rn and also feels better off being alone than continuously trusting others just to inevitably be let down once again, albeit perhaps on a varying time schedule from the last time. People will just continuously hurt and disappoint you. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but eventually, they show their true colors and you realize that you were never worth jack shit to them to begin with. This only gets worse if you actually achieve some level of success, because then people have even more reasons to use you and manipulate you. Luckily, I don't have to worry about that. *sigh* Why even bother, anon? Why try? It's all a giant waste of time for inevitable pain, heartache, and a return to feeling worthless and meaningless in this vast universe in which we are mere specs of dust floating in the wind.

How do you cope? Sometimes it’s difficult but what worked for me is meditation every day, exercise and giving some time to myself and others

Please note that if you're willingly giving up your favorite things in life and you AREN'T founding anything, you likely are depressed. Trust me, I am clinically an expert in this category. I give up my favorite things willingly all the time in the midst of depressive episodes.

First poor mental health day in a while. Felt overwhelmed, anxious, and unwell most of the day. Energy levels were low. Didn't enjoy taking the day to touch grass like I should've. Just felt empty all day. Tomorrow is a new day.

Not sure how I feel about "life coaches" who are still in their 20s and open camera to give "advice" to people. Like what do you know about life? Brought up in a home of mummy and daddy, went to school all fees paid and you think you understand life. Lol.

Today just feels kind of overwhelming and hopeless. Does anyone have any good news to share? Could be personal, professional, whatever. It'll help morale.
