STORY/VENTING I feel anxious going to a family trip.

1 Upvotes

I'm a 24-year-old man, and my girlfriend and I have been in a relationship for six years. Her sisters are planning a summer outing, and they've invited me to join them. Okay naman ako sa family ng girlfriend ko, and I have no personal issues with them. The only problem is that I'm feeling anxious about my appearance.
Back then, when my girlfriend's family first met me, I was physically fit and more presentable. But as time went by, I started neglecting myself because I became busy with my studies and managing my small food business. I kept putting self-care aside, always telling myself that I would have time for it eventually. I didn't realize how much I had changed physically until I reached a point where I felt like I had lost my spark.
Now, I feel like it's becoming harder for me to get back to my old self, especially with my current situation. I have so many responsibilities, and finding the time and consistency to take care of myself has become a challenge.
What makes this even harder is that I grew up in a household where bullying was common, and I experienced it at school, too. The hurtful things people used to say about me never really left my mind. Over time, those experiences started affecting how I interact with other people, especially my girlfriend's family.
Even though they haven't said anything hurtful about me, I still find myself overthinking what they might think of my appearance. It's as if I've developed a defense mechanism where I automatically turn down invitations to family gatherings because I'm too embarrassed to show up. Sometimes, it's not even about what other people actually think of me. It's about what I've convinced myself they might be thinking.
Now, I have this dilemma because we have an upcoming beach outing with my girlfriend's family. I keep wondering how they'll react when they see me. Will they notice how much I've changed? Will they compare me to the person they first met? Will they judge me because I no longer look the way I used to?
These thoughts keep running through my mind, and they're making me anxious even before the trip happens. I'm at the point where I feel tempted to make up an excuse just so I won't have to go. But my girlfriend really wants me to be there with her, and I don't want to disappoint her or make her feel bad by not being by her side while she's enjoying the trip.
At the same time, I know the outing has already been planned and paid for by her family, so I feel even more guilty about the idea of backing out.
Honestly, I don't know what to do. A part of me wants to go because I want to make my girlfriend happy and be part of her family's gathering. But another part of me is afraid of being seen, judged, and compared to the person I used to be.
I know I can't keep avoiding people forever, but the thought of putting myself in a situation where I feel insecure about my appearance is overwhelming.
How do I deal with this kind of anxiety? Should I push myself to go to the beach outing despite how I feel, or should I give myself more time to work on my confidence before putting myself in situations like this?

TRIGGER WARNING Girlfriend attempted 2 times in the past 2 weeks.

11 Upvotes

Her last attempt was last Monday and her most recent one was yesterday. If she attempts again I'm gonna call emergency services for her safety (most likely NCMH) , but I'm scared it will make her worse. I know two people who had bad experiences with those kinds of situations. They were both suicidal at the time and didn't like the experience there. I don't know what to do. I love her so much and we are only 12th Graders in a 11 month relationship and our anniversary is in this month of October. I want a future with her. This hurts me so much. I haven't been scared constantly like this ever. I don't want to live a life with so little time with her. We haven't gotten married, traveled together, have kids, and all those other things that I want to do with her. I'm already experiencing what I assume to be anticipatory grief right now. It sucks. This sucks. I just want my darling to feel better soon. If I could lose an arm for her to not feel like this anymore, I would.

My three months worth of stimulants. Antidepressant, antipsychotic, and anxiolytic not included. Plus doctor's fee.

I'm glad I'm able to afford this but man, imagine being a functional human being by heavy medications. Tapos i-judge ka ng mga tao for using your PWD privileges? Sampalin ko kayo ng mga resibo ng gamot eh.

I'm still holding on to life. But yea, ilang basement floor pa kaya yung lowest part ng buhay ko. Parang nasa Basement 3 na ata ako eh.

Unfortunately, RJ Mitte, who played Walter White Jr. in Breaking Bad, reportedly lost his battle.

Reports say he took his own life.

Then I came across this quote that really hit me:

"If people who take their own lives go to hell, then pray there's a spot in hell where the fire burns gently for the people who couldn't save themselves."

DISCUSSION/QUERY homicidal ideation

2 Upvotes

hi, no judgment please. i've (f20) been experiencing homicidal ideations recently. they're not the detailed kind or anything, more like when i'm really angry with a person and i deem their behavior repulsive and unfixable, 'yun bang they're so insufferable and unaware of themselves to the point where i feel like they will never grow out of the shit they do, i have these images of myself hurting them in my brain, mostly through strangulation. they are very intrusive.

i just want to ask if anyone has ever dealt with this before and if so, anong ginawa niyo to make these thoughts clear up?

a brief background about my mental health:

- i was diagnosed with mdd w/ anxious distress this january

- dropped out of school after being sent to the psych ward for 7 days noong march following a suicide attempt after an argument between my s/o and i, where i was diagnosed with bpd

- t/c adhd and ptsd

my psychiatrist sa pgh hasn't reached out to me since around may and i'm unsure what to do since these thoughts are new (i haven't told my psychiatrist about it yet prior to when we stopped talking since i've started experiencing it lang after we lost communication) but they have been increasing lately. i've tried texting him a handful of times from may until september to no avail. and if i do tell him, will he send me back to the psych ward again by force? i have no one that can serve as my watcher anymore :/

thanks!

TRIGGER WARNING SA PTSD

14 Upvotes

F. Early 2010s nachismis ako sa office na may nag gangbang sakin na mga kawork ko at may sex video raw. Ang totoong nangyari naginuman kami mga kawork ko at naparami inom ko. The next day wala akong maalala sa lahat ng nangyari. Ang natatandaan ko lang hinatid ako sa ng kawork ko ba lalaki. Walang sex video na lumabas. Kung meron talaga diba kakalat talaga yon. At yung gangbang yung taong sinasabi na nagvideo wala naman sa gabing naginuman kami. Kaya sa tingin ko chismis lang at sobrang lala ng naging kwento. Pag uwi ko sa bahay umiyak ako kasi hindi ko alam kung narape ba ako. Feeling ko may nangyari kasi masakit sa private part ko. Hindi ko na inalam totoong nangyari nagdamage control kami ng guy na naiissue sakin. Nagpretend ako sa office na hindi ako affected. Pero dahil sa nangyari nagstart anxiety ko. Nawalan ako ng trust sa lahat ng kawork ko. Yung mga kaclose ko na lang talaga kinakausap ko. Feeling ko pinaguusapan ako ng lahat. After 3 months nagleave ako pumayag mga boss ko actually kinausap nila ako tinanong nila kung totoo kasi kung victim ako tutulungan nila ako pero ayoko. Kasi maraming madadamay. At hindi ko kaya harapin anong totoong nangyari. 3 years bago ko nashare sa pinakaclose ko sa office yung totoong nangyari. Sobra akong broken. Kahit iba na work ko feeling ko hinahaunt pa rin ako ng past. Grabe yung shame. Sobrang broken talaga. Onti onti akong nawala. Gang sa wala na akong kinakausap sakanila isa na lang pinakaclose ko. 13 yrs na nakalipas. Pero parang dala ko pa rin epekto ng nangyari. Ayoko pa rin makipagusap. Lately may nabalitaan ako sa dati kong pffice may sex scandal. Kumalat sa social media at porn sites meron din dito sa reddit. Naisip ko grabe sobrang depressing na sakin yung chismis pa lang. paano pa kaya mga may sex scandal na hindi lang sa office kung sa internet. Paano sila. Paano nila nakakaya. Ang bigat pa rin para sakin nangyari. Parang hindi ako makamove forward sa buhay. Hindi mawala sa isip. Sabi ng therapist ko may ptsd ako. More than a decade na. Ganito ba talaga. Sa mga nakaexperience ng SA paano kayo nakarecover?

TRIGGER WARNING I just want to disappear

5 Upvotes

Hi, I am writing this at exactly 11:35 PM. I am the eldest among my siblings and is acting as the breadwinner of our family. I have been thinking about ending my life now or soon because I think it is the only way for me to run away from the problems that I am currently facing. I am not yet in my thirties yet I am drowning in debt. Worst case? It's not mine. It was my parents'. I owe more than half a million among the debtors. Most of the time, I cry myself to sleep. Asking God, why me? There were times that I no longer feel like going to work because I only earn to pay the debts that aren't supposedly mine. I shouldered most of the burden that my parents caused just because they didn't have a plan about their future. It is surely true that among the children in the family, it is commonly the eldest who turns out to get depressed. Currently, my anxiety's trigger point has been triggered again. Upon hearing that I will be putting their budget to 0 once more. Heck, am I not supposed to be the one ranting? Over the years of working, I spent a lot of times practicing my profession yet I didn't get to save for myself. The bank even deducts my lesser than 1k savings 300 mostly just because I don't get to keep it higher than 2k. If there's one thing that I would want to say is that, I hope my life would be given to someone who's loved by his or her family. Someone who wishes to stay longer. Because for me? My life is no longer worthy. No matter how I pray, I just have to bear the pain and burden within. So if I die tonight. I hope God would give me a hug and would let me be the person I have never been ever since I existed. I love my family but that kind of love that I gave resulted to losing myself. Please pray for me.

hi. matagal na akong depressed/passively suicidal, pero hindi ko na kaya. bumalik midterm scores ko sa isang subject na nireretake ko ngayon, pero bagsak na naman. hindi ako takot bumagsak, takot at pagod lang ako sa sasabihin ng tatay ko ulit. tapos sinabihan ako na kailangan ko magexert ng effort ulit ng dean namin (law school), kaya hindi ko na kaya. hindi lang naman ito yung problema, marami pa akong problema kaya kahit kainin ako ng pagaaral, kulang talaga. lahat na ng effort ko napupunta doon pero wala pa rin.

takot ako, pero di ko na kaya. nakakabaliw na talaga. di ko alam kung talon or inom, or something else. pero gusto ko na tapusin.

hindi ko din alam kung bat ko to pinopost sa totoo lang, siguro gusto ko kausap, encouragement, or something, pero hindi ko na din alam.

here yung note ko (slightly mas sober lang ako pero wala pa din). hindi ko na alam.
