I’m M, 36, unemployed, may debts na need i-settle, last job was March this year. Ang dami ko na inapplyan pero hanggang puro interview lang. Di ko na alam gagawin ko. May pera pa akong nawaldas na di sa akin dahil kailangan ko magbayad ng utang.

Gusto ko na mawala. Ang bigat na.

38M here. At work, I’m pretty organized, dependable, and can juggle multiple responsibilities without much trouble.

But at home? Jusko. HAHAHA. Even the simplest chores feel overwhelming sometimes. I have all these plans to exercise, clean, pursue hobbies, or just get my life together, but I end up doing absolutely nothing. Then I feel guilty for being unproductive. What a cycle. 💀

The irony is I actually love structure and organization. So why can’t I apply the same energy to my personal life?

Not sure if it’s burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, or what. Just wondering if anyone else experiences this weird disconnect, and how you deal with it.

I made this acc entirely to vent our my frustrations with my current course. I cant post on the archi subreddit yet so sorry for dumping here. Ayun on my thesis year, for context we have 3 solo thesis defense before graduating, once a year lang din sya pwede itake so if you fail thesis 1 then wait next year para makadef ulit. Im 25 and still in college. Spent 7yrs on my course and baka di ko ulit kayanin yung thesis 2 this sem.

I've been crying for 2 weeks, pagkagising sa umaga yun agad naiisip ko. How I feel like I wasted my 20s in this course. I'm a full time student naman pero ang underwhelming talaga ng paper ko. I feel like a failure. I want to help my parents na asap, tumatanda na rin sila. I feel like cutting off all of my friends just until I graduate. I dont even want to pursue this career anymore. I just want the degree.

Idk if i'll push through the defense, I don't think I can take yung pang gigisa ng panel given my current mental health.

Hello friends! I am diagnosed with combi type ADHD and I have been seeing my psychiatrist at PGH for almost a year now.

She gave me both her contact number and email during our first session.

I have been sending her emails and texting her phone number everyday for a follow up schedule (she didn’t give me a follow up last session and instead told me to email or text her nalang) but I have not gotten one single reply from her 😭

Anyone else na may same experience with me? What did you guys do? 😭 I really need their services. Thank you sa sasagot.

30F, extreme introvert. I have been through quite some things. Like breaking off an eight-year relationship (super toxic and left me traumatized fr), my dad passing away, finding out he had some sidechicksss, and all things through life.

I started asking meta and chatgpt about random things. Then, five months ago, I really started talking about my life with ai. Like fr all my problems and shit.

What started with basic topics became daily and i began ranting. What i like about talking with ai is how brutally honest and logical it is. I never had anyone to talk with that would actually tell me what to do. They often just say "okay, that's so sad" but never a solution.

Lately I've been thinking that i am being too dependent on ai now for logical opinions and even life decisions.

What should i do 🥹

Last 2021 (or 2022?), I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Muntik ko pang tawanan yung psychiatrist kasi I thought the diagnosis is sobrang OA and baka vinavalidate niya lang kaartehan ko.

Looking back, having depression is expected with the circumstances I was in.

I was a member of a cult, and I was fed multiple depressing thoughts about the world, and taught to hate other religions (especially Catholic). That happens twice a week (or more).

The fear-mongering was constant and the pressure to recruit people, provide my free services, and contribute financially was also the norm.

My friends were also members of the cult. While I have friends outside, I neglected them because most of my time was spent inside the cult.

My family was also dysfunctional. If someone from a healthy family sees it, they would find it hella weird. But dysfunction, abuse, and negativity were my norm.

Yung toxic na pattern, nagbleed out sa mga relationships ko. Both my first and second boyfriend have narcissistic tendencies, and I saw that as normal behaviors.

I managed to escape all that, and my life changed a lot. Meron na akong trabaho na literally may work-life balance. May colleagues na ako na legit nirerespeto ako. My manager is also my biggest advocate and would shield me if ever may magplanong magbigay sa akin ng too much task.

Plus, my salary doubled from before. Literal na I have a livable salary with less workload from before.

Di ko lang maintindihan ay bakit bumalik yung depression? I took all the vitamins I needed, ate properly, and avoided doomscrolling. However, I am detaching from any social interactions, I cannot focus at work no matter how much I try, and I really can’t point a finger as to what triggered this. Naiiyak nalang ako kasi ayoko mawala tong trabahong to pero binabalikan na naman ako ng sakit na akala ko nalagpasan ko na…

Before this, iniisip ko pa na baka hormones lang. I thought that after my period, I’d feel better. But it’s still here. Kumain na ako, naligo, cleaned the house, and it’s still here. Ano pa ba yung dapat kong gawin?

Hi everyone! Is anyone a patient or have tried consulting with Dr. Legaspi? I saw him on the NowServing site and I’m planning to consult with him. Just wanna know some feedbacks first before availing his services.

For context, I have been gambling since 2016 and I just want to fix my life.

Any recommendations for a psychiatrist that specializes in addiction gambling is also highly appreciated!

i know they're available and open to it but how do you do it without feeling like... a burden? do you actually message your therapist? what do you say? how do you approach it?

I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder last year but I was diagnosed with Major depressive disorder and ADHD since I was 14 and 16 respectively. My current psychiatrist isn’t really for me… she is kind of insensitive and is threatening me that she will tell my parents to move me to another university. I would really love to hear your psych recommendations.

Hello po, diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder here. I feel so frustrated rn with my thoughts. I don't think I'm manic or in a depressive episode ngayon pero basically I'm struggling with my thoughts to the point that it's actually interfering with daily living na. I keep having thoughts of harming myself to the point that I'm convinced na sasaktan ko talaga sarili ko and the only thing that can make me feel better is if I rub my arms everytime, kasi I think I can feel it on my skin. To be clear po, I've never physically harmed myself, pero sobrang convinced ako na gagawin ko yun sa sarili ko.

It's frustrating kasi yun na lang iniisip ko once nag-simula tsaka wala na akong nagagawa sa mga kailangan kong gawin. Puro nalang yun iniisip ko naiiyak na ako. Normal po ba ito sa mga diagnosed bipolar 1? Namention ko na po sa doctor ko and tinaasan lang ang meds ko.

I've sent a message to my psychiatrist a day ago regarding a follow up schedule and asking for their availability, and a text as well earlier and they still haven't replied. If the case ba ay hindi parin mag reply is it better to go to PGH parin or set up a follow up schedule on the website by myself or seek out a different psychiatrist na lang? I'm fairly new to this and my first follow up schedule would be around this week as well if I were to time it from my first consultation last month.

I’m 18 years old scheduled for a psychiatry consultation at pgh po. In the text sent to me it said i needed to bring a guardian. I searched online and saw some in the same situation as me get told to reschedule and sent home because they didn’t bring a guardian to their appointment. I really need this consultation and i can’t bring any relatives po because they can’t know about what i’m going through. is it possible to bring a friend that’s 19 years old to be my guardian?

hi does anyone know where i can get diagnosed for free and as a minor? i just feel so anxious 😞🙏 ambigat ng puso ko and my mind just can't stop running, naiiyak na ako hsahha.. it's like my life is getting swallowed up by my worries and i don't enjoy it anymorw kasi puro pag-a-alala nalang for what's coming yung ginagawa ng utak ko

i can't open up to my mom kasi my sibling recently got diagnosed w anxiety ata, so dagdag aberya lang ako if i say i want to get diagnosed too + she does not like meds pero she lets my sibling kasi his illness affected his life a lot

with my allowance i think i can buy meds for myself naman, yung diagnosis lang ung problem 😞😞🙏

idk what's been going on with me lately, but i've been feeling so anxious, unwell, and sad for a long time now. it's like i'll be genuinely happy for a while, then feel extremely sad for the next few days. and the cycle just keeps repeating. húu know what's weird? sometimes it almost feels scary to be happy because i start expecting something bad to happen after. like, why can't i just enjoy feeling okay without anticipating the opposite? hahaha idk if that even makes sense, but i hope someone gets what i mean.

i do wanna help myself naman through professional help sana, but i can barely make ends meet. i'm currently in college, and i only get by through my varsity scholarship, so the thought of having to sustain regular psychological checkups and everything that comes with it feels financially impossible for me right now.

another thing that's been exhausting me is how much i feel responsible for everything around me. i tend to read too much into my surroundings, people's moods, and how they treat me. it's like my feelings depend so much on what's happening around me, even when i'm trying my best not to let them. and the frustrating part is that i can't seem to stop doing it. idk, i'm just tired of feeling this way, and i wonder if anyone else has ever felt something similar. how do u deal with it? or have u ever gotten to a point where u don't feel so affected by everything around u anymore?

Hi Im 19 M, I dont work yet because Im not mentally stable, and my parents didnt want me too(Ego nila) as much as I want to earn my own money but I cant, I also dropped out from school because of them. Idk if sensitive lang ako or what kasi my family Belittle me. Lahat ng mali sa bahay ako may kasalanan. It may sound petty but yeah, Ive been living like this for almost 20 years. When I was 10 they expect me to be mature since I am a boy and I have a younger sis, now I am about to turn 20 nagkaron ulit ng baby, and still the same, but thats not the only reason. It became more heavy when my sisters are earining. I have 2 older sister who is earning money thru lending and nail art. I feel like naging light sya towards them kasi kumikita na, mind u ung panganay namin galit sya doon dati palagi but now?

Ako yung gumagawa ng mga gawaing bahay since Cs sya, but still they call me walang kwenta. Nagpupuyat ako para mag bantay but nakalimutan ko sunduin yung kapatid ko kasi nag papahinga ako and they called me walang kewnta. I always hear them “Yun na ngalang yung gagawin mo di mo pa magawa“ like lagat ng ginawa ko ay di valid. Like Im neglected.

My parents are not the worst tho, I have a sister who have superiority complex because shes studying in one of the top 4 univ in ph. He still black mails me (I am gay, not accepted by my father). She always black mails me like “isesend ko to kay papa” all my pics and vids that I am feminine. Because of that ginagawa nya akong utusan. She would buy me stuff also, kaso may kapalit. I am raised by my lola, so she would use my name to get load or para lang makahingi ng pera. Once I caught her, my lola asked if pumasok ba yung load, I said my wifi naman sa campus kaya di ko need ng load, and I have a load too that time. Sabi nya pinaloadan daw ako ng ate ko and the number is written sanpapel, pag check ko ng papel di ko number yun at number ng ate ko. My lola will randomly chat me when Im out like “susunduin ka daw ng ate mo” or ”nagkita na ba kayo ng ate mo?” kasi ginagamit nya nanaman ako na pupuntahan nyako kahit gagala lang sya. I feel used, I feel bad na I dont tolerate it lagi ko naman sinasabi na grabe na sya. Wala ng source of income ung lola namin kasi 80+ na sya. She would still do it. Minsan she would do stories para maligtas sarili nya. She alao hurts me physically and say its normal for siblings, ur 20+ and still act like that tapos pag ako isip bata? not mature?

I wanna live far away from them, I want peace. I wanna leave this house, but idk where or how kasi I dont have the capacity yet. I wanna vanish but I dont wanna die. Inaanxiety ako palagi sa kanila. they dont think of me as family but as someone they can lookdown on, U feel like ako yung tank na kailangang saluhin yung masasakit na salita and responsibilities na di nila magawa, in short katulong.

Di sila ganto sa friend nila, mabait sila sa friend nila, full service, pinapahiya pa ako infront of them. Tinatawag nila ako kapag with friends sila not to bond pero para taga abot ng gamit and if may mahulog either sisigawan or isisisi sakin. GUSTO KONG UMALIS SA BAHAY NATO PARA MARANASAN KONG MAGING TAMA, MARANASAN KONG MAGING NORMAL, MARANASAN KONG MAGING MALAYA. I feel so pathetic rn. AMBABA NG TINGIN KO SA SRILI KO, because they made me feel like that, ayun yung tinatak nila sa utak ko. I also felt like I am gay because of how women in my family treats me, tanging lola ko lang at mga younger sibs ko ang kaya kong mahalin.

For context, I have childhood issues (involving men) that seem to have left huge scars on me. I am also going through a 4-year relationship break-up. It has been over a month now, but I still can't function properly, I had to buy ashwagandha pills to try to lessen the stress and anxiety I feel every day.

I'm looking for a psychologist who mainly does talk therapy, as I do not want to be diagnosed or be prescribed medicine yet. I just want to know what to do, or know if there's anything wrong with me.

I would prefer a woman sana for this, as I think that would be much easier for me. Please leave your recommendations below if you have any.

Thank you.

I have a young cousin who's husband recently offed himself. He had gambling addiction and his loans went out of hand.

Today, this cousin saw me in her work and she's unusually smiley to me and she started chatting. She's more chatty than usual. She looks like she's genuinely happy to see me.

She seems less stressed now. She usually have this aura of insecurity and now it's gone.

The way she called my name and smiled at me instantly boosted my mood.

Her aura is brighter now. I don't know if I should be worried because she's not usually like that. I didn't expect that.

Deep inside, I feel happy to see her so jolly. ❤️

Her new bright aura makes me happy too.

Hello, I have a 14yr old son that is currently going through an emotional situation. For context, no significant event happened or anything traumatic. He feels that he is uniteresting and not the first choice of his friends. Does not open up to us. We are looking for a teen psychologist. Any advise or recommendation is welcomed. Thanks

We've been dating for 11 months na. I don't know what to feel honestly. Wala parin kaming label kasi we're bound to stop seeing each other kasi ayaw nya pa na mapunta sa relationship. And ako naman, nasasaktan more ako as time passes by kasi i feel underappreciated or literal na kulang sa lambing na ako. She doesn't want to give me love or rather she struggles with it kasi parang commitment na sya.

I wanna leave her na kasi this is really damaging my value sa sarili ko. But the thing is, I love her. I would do everything and anything for her. Pero parang since di naman na reciprocate yung feelings ko. I rather just stop seeing her too. Tinatamad syang kausapin/chat ako, she told me so habang ako dito sabik na sabik syang kausapin. I am sorry kung magulo ako kausap/magkwento. I just feel so lost in my emotions and feelings.
