I found a job...that turns out a scam...
I can't do this...
I don't want to talk about the details about India...
Imagine the most stereotypical reason for a young woman to be sent to India.
Yeah, that.

...oh
Okay just keep applying as much as you can, even if it's entry-level shite. There's always tons of restaurants and supermarkets looking for help
Like, if shitty me can get a job, I think anyone can!

So hey, I'm back here. I went on a date a couple of days ago and it went about as well as I expected (pretty uneventful because we don't share a lot of interests), so there likely won't be a second date. Normally I get attached pretty quickly, so surprisingly I'm not really feeling too broken up about this. I'd say what's worse is that it made me realize how good things were with my previous relationship, despite a good amount of fighting and the strain of both of us having mental health problems.
Now I'm down in the dumps about that again, but aside from that, my mood has been relatively alright.
I've often found that if you're willing to give out the specifics, gafers are usually quick to offer shelter for those in need, especially during rough times. Job hunting, without knowing what part of the world you're from, is hard to give advice for. In North America though, call centers will hire anyone, assuming they need the staff. The problem often stems from those with mental issues having some form of anxiety as well, which makes this a difficult job to take (speaking from experience, I have anxiety and my first job was at a call center, not fun). With that said, if push comes to shove and you find yourself at a tipping point, this may become an option. At the very least, it's easy to get hired at those places.
Regarding this, all I can say is yikes.
EDIT: I wanted to add that before anyone can actually help you, you have to first be in the mindset that you want to help yourself. That's a monster to overcome on its own though. As someone facing homelessness as well, there's a lot of options open to me. I've had months to find a new job after quitting my old one, and my parents have been kind enough to let me crash at their place rent free for those months as well. I have done absolutely nothing to help myself, and that's probably thanks to the mindset of not wanting to help myself. It often feels easier to roll over and accept death than it does to find work and a new apartment. All I can say to that is a sincere "good luck".

My best friend has been through some pretty rough stuff lately. Recently, he suffered the loss of both of his parents, and has struggles with the mother of his child despite being a great father. He's always had a tendency to look on the darker side of life, which is why we bonded at such a young age to begin with.
He has a history of self-mutilation, and has attempted to OD on Xanax in the past. Thankfully much of that has stopped, but just the other night he started slicing away again, and cut himself up pretty badly. Over some dumb girl too. After sharing his pain with me throughout memorial day, and showing me his wounds and telling me about his suicidal thoughts, I took him to the Emergency Room last night. He has a psych evaluation, and was eventually released around 9am.
I don't think he's better. but I know the one think keeping him going is how much he loves that kid of his. I spent from noon to 9:30 am with him last night just trying to provide him with all the care I could.
I'm worried about my friend guys, and am not sure what else I can really do. He's seeking grief counseling supposedly, and I really hope he follows through. A shrink would work also. I just don't want to lose him, dude's like a brother to me. We've been friends for about 15 years now.

You're a better friend than most of mine, nintendork666. While everyone experiences and handles their sadness differently, from my personal experience, surrounding myself with friends when available really helps.
That's probably the best thing you can do for him. Just be there if/when he needs someone. Offer to go out places or hang out, let him know he's important to you without necessarily saying it.
Yea, thanks for the response and positivity. Each day of NC is getting a bit easier. I'm still going through hell and I still have to force myself to reach out to her. I'm still so confused and lost, I was expecting to marry her and spend my life with her. I just don't know how to move on and restart.
We did everything together, so all my hobbies lead to memories, my friends don't get why I don't just move on, so I don't much support there. I wish it was easier for me

I've considered this, but I think I'll give my specifics when it's starting to be real serious that I'll be on the streets. As things are right now, I need to leave within a few months or the end of the year. I don't want GAFfers to be concerned too much at this point. I hate to bother people right now when it's at a point I'm just trying to get myself a job.
I want to be helped. Believe me, I'm going to therapy, taking medicine, and following what my therapist says. It's just...really difficult to fight all the time amidst the impending doom I'm getting from my family and life. I'm doing my best to fight it's just...not easy.

I think what could help you is if you tell your parents that you are suffering from depression and need all the help you can get. I know that if they don't already know it can be tough to open up to your parents, but sooner or later they have to know.I've considered this, but I think I'll give my specifics when it's starting to be real serious that I'll be on the streets.

So it's almost June after stupid fucking winter, and at 9:40PM I'm always amazed the sun is still out. There was a little bit of rain earlier and there's still a bit of cloud cast, and the greenery outside is doused in pink and purple.

Well, it was a mail carrier position until I had a panic attack and walked out of the first day of orientation today and then called and told them I didn't want the job anymore. I know I'm capable of some jobs, but something about that one in particular didn't sit well with me. Oh well, at least I feel a little better now...

So borderline personality disorder, anyone have experience with that?
Seeing a therapist next week and was doing some reading---I've never read up on it before but it totally struck a chord with me, specifically the part about having trouble with relationships due to fear of ruining them. That's, like, the biggest problem I've had to deal with in the last ten years. Worrying about doing something "unforgivable" all the time that'll ruin a friendship, often my clinginess and need to please pushing those people away.

I didn't get much sleep last night, because I passed out at 4:30 and was awakened by an early phone call. But, thankfully I haven't been too tired. I was going to go back to sleep, too, but then my Grandmother called to see if I could take her to get blood work done.
She said I could sleep a couple more hours and then we'd go, but of course the phone rang again (after not ringing for two days), just as I was about to pass out. Who was it? A ReMax agent cold calling to see if we'd like to sell.
I drove my Grandmother there around 12:45, waited with her and then she took me for lunch and gave me some money I tried not to take. She needs me to take her to another appointment on Thursday, since my Grandpa's away.
When I got home, it was pretty late in the afternoon, as I did some errands. I signed on Facebook, and got a message from a girl I dated/have been friends with so to speak. She asked me if I knew an easy way to kill oneself, to which I said no. "All ways would be difficult."
I know she'd tried once before, just before we went on our first date, but I guess she's tried 4 times. I think I talked her out of it today, though, as she ended up coming over to hang out and we got food plus watched a movie. She bought the food which was nice, since I drove.
Hopefully she'll be okay.
She had mentioned sex while chatting online, but I said my plan wasn't to take advantage of her even though part of me would be up for it. Nothing ended up happening.

I wonder what I did in a past life that caused me to be where I am today. Browsing through Facebook again. I don't know what I did. I've never been in trouble with the law. I've kept my nose in my own business. I've done well in high school and went to college like I was supposed to and wham my life sucks. Never had a boyfriend or anyone close to one. Guys I like totally dislike me. I'm a fat slob who really had no life growing up. Wish I could go back in time kill myself so I don't have to live this life.
I have no redeeming traits or virtues. No talents no nothing. A loser forever.

Two weeks until the rainbow parade here in Vienna. I've just recently discovered my bisexuality, so I'd love to participate. By this time, I was hoping to have someone to date or at the very least a friend who would attend together with me, because I'm sure as hell not going alone to a big event like this. But even after several months of using OKC and trying to find friends, I still didn't have any success at all. So I guess I will spend the day of the parade alone in my empty, dark apartment. Like most days. That's.. sad.
I'm not sure if you work or in school or wharever, but something that works a lot of times is joining clubs about things that intrest you. That way when you want to talk to a guy/girl as someone you like or just as a friend, it makes the conversation easier.
Finding friends, and getting into a relationship isn't easy, but if you keep yourself available, there will be someone there, eventually : )

I need some advice.
My younger brother claims he wants to kill himself, and says too much pressure is put on him etc and everyone puts him down (by everyone he says me - tbh all I say to him is to study his ass off for his exams, stop wasting time, stop behaving like an idiot, to join the gym and lift some weights instead of clowning around).
He has temper tantrums and swears at me and my parents. He behaves like the devil at home. Don't know what's wrong with him. Honestly, he behaves like a proper cunt.
I try to reason with him, but it doesn't work. Then I begin to shout at him, and I end up locking horns - quickly escalates to fists. I want to beat the shit out of him so badly but I use every bit of restraint. Invariably, this will make the situation far worse. He already despises me. But I don't know what to do. I want him to change but he never fucking listens.
Advice?
Honestly I don't think he has friends any friends at college. He told my brother 'I don't have any friends'. But given the way he behaves at home, I'm not surprised. He can't say one sentence without swearing and shouting his ass off. He'll scream to my mother 'WHERE IS MY FUCKING FOOD' for example. This severely pisses me off.

I've been feeling pretty alienated with myself and my body lately. It's something I've struggled a lot with in the past but I thought I had gotten past it.. But I guess not.
I keep doing and saying things that aren't in line with what I want to do and what I'm really thinking and I can't stop feeling both repulsed and disconnected from my body.
I look at it in pictures and in the mirror and I don't feel like what I'm looking at is me.
I guess it doesn't help that it has a couple of defects that constantly cause me a great deal of pain.
That last thing is something I'm finally trying to deal with as best as possible again though. I have pretty severe scoliosis (55 degrees) and I'm going to get surgery in a couple of days. I really hope it helps...

I tried and tried a lot of antidepressant and still not one is working or too many side effect. I heard Niacin work really great for depression but I have an easily upset stomach because of too much coffee in the past. Im kind of afraid to try niacin even in small dose because of that.

I need to start to look for internships, but I'm reluctant to look because I don't have any skills with programming and what not. I really want to get out of my retail job, I don't want to spend the rest of my life working at a retail job. I don't look forward coming to work tomorrow.
These past few days I've really been struggling with the feeling of emptiness. Like, what's the point of life? I'm just kind of going through the motions without any real meaning at all. A large part of that is anhedonia, most likely, since part of what gives life meaning is finding enjoyment in life and its many aspects. When you don't enjoy anything, it's hard to feel like there's a point to anything.
So yeah, that's been pretty shitty.

Did you hear anything back from your art applications yet, or even the other ones?
Lol I got a degree in 2012 and five years later I'm still at the same retail job. And I still don't know shit about programming, in fact I think I unremembered a lot of stuff PLUS tech marching on since then. So don't be meeeeeeeeeee
Or be me, its okay and not the end of the world. Even if you don't get anything just use your freetime to read up on stuff and follow some lessons or tutorials
Sometimes I feel my biggest mistake was getting a full time position to spend more time on skills and portfolio, but gotta support myself somehow so shruuug

When I have something to do, I want to do nothing. And when I don't have anything to do, I want to do something.
I also can't make decisions well at all anymore, and procrastinate to no end.
I'm bored and lonely, but don't want to get up off the couch much. I don't enjoy things. I can't concentrate or stay focused like I used to.
It's annoying.

Guys. I'm miserable. I recently started dealing with insomnia and now it's spiraled into borderline panic attacks with shortness of breath and all that good stuff. Unfortunately its something all my older siblings deal with, but being new to it I'm miserable. Just took a zoloft and hope it calms me down. doc also gave me 2 weeks of ambien.
How do I deal with this.
I've also seen a therapist once already and it seems like I've always dealt with anxiety it's just started to manifest itself in intense ways. I lost my mom in 2004 and my nephew last year and I feel like both are outliers here.

Sorry to hear about your mom and nephew. I know what that's like, and am having a hard time moving on from my Mom's passing. I just, really, want to be with her.
Hey y'all. An update, even if you don't know or remember me.😃
I've been doing amazingly well the last 6 weeks on a combination of medication, my doctor, psychiatrist and therapist. Everything is going according to plan. I am a transgirl, so because my team and I agree I am in a very good and solid place mentally, I am going to sign the informed consent forms for hrt, or hormone therapy. I will begin transitioning physically now, and I am so excited! I don't know if that's appropriate for here... but that is necessary for my physical and mental well-being overall and obviously will always be an ongoing process. Life long , but that's okay. I will be fine.
I know you all will be too.
I know I didn't make many posts here, but when I did, I always got the help and support I needed, and for that, thank you all.

I often feel like this too, so I don't think it's too much of an outlier. I also completely understand not being able to concentrate or focus. I often have to force myself to enjoy things, and that often has mixed results. I've got nothing to offer you, aside from the fact that -- and maybe it can lead to contentment -- that it's more common than you think.
Maybe it tells you something about yourself? I've learned that I can't enjoy leisure if I haven't "earned" it, and I haven't done much "earning" lately, which subsequently means that much of the normal things that I used to enjoy, I've got to force myself into. For instance, gaming? Yeah, I barely do it; I don't enjoy it. I forced myself to play the other day, because I budgeted time into a busy schedule for it, and I actually took pleasure from it.
(Mind you, I don't have my life together enough to be an authority on anything, but I'm sharing personal experience.)

Wha-aaat? I can't believe it! I'm so happy for you!
I'm doing pretty great, considering. Bad dad news (medical details content warning):
Got a family-wide alert this evening that my dad fainted in the bathroom, had a seizure, broke his ankle really badly (like needing full metal hardware badly), and has indeterminate-sourced bleeding from his digestive tract (possibly diverticulitis)
Me & my dad... we've had a troubled relationship through the years, have mostly reconciled as adults... I just don't want him to die. I don't feel like it is his time.
It did blow my day, had a good cry, still not sure how useful I'll be about the house this weekend (when we typically do the bigger chores). I'm in the family communication pipeline & I can fly out there if needed, so those two things are somewhat reassuring. My own spouse has been aces as always, an immeasurable help.

Yeah I suppose I'm a bit of a dick to him. The way he acts does bother me a lot. He has a very defeatist attitude. He sees the worst in every situation. I've told him to watch some Youtube videos of Tony Robbins or even someone like CT Fletcher to inspire him but he doesn't seem to be bothered one bit.
Nvm. Chest pains still happen, anxiety still happens. Waking up fatigued, too.
I wish someone cared. Last time I had the courage to go to a hospital I was turned away for not having proof of address.
It's getting harder to the it all out.
Turns out it's not easy to keep a job when you have to hide 2-3 times a shift in the toilet to hide a cry.
Ah, fuck it all.

You just need to be surrounded by better people. I hope you feel better soon.
Anyone have advice for navigating work social stuff? Having a hard time not taking it personally when coworkers hang out together outside office hours and I'm kind of left in the dust. Specifically when they bring along people who have been working there only a few months a whereas I've been there a year. Why do I try. :/
I know what you mean, I think depression really dulls the mind the longer you have it. I struggle to enjoy anything, even the things I like.
I got diagnosed ADHD and take meds for it but sometimes the meds just make me really good and focused at doing nothing!
: (
I spent most of my life with 0 friends. In elementry school I spent a lot of time in the bathrooms or on the playground doing not much, in middle school I'd just walk around or do nothing and in high school I would do laps around my school because there was no one I could really talk to. Friendly with, sure, friends, not so much. I definetly understand how you feel.
My junior year I was lucky enough to find a pretty good two friends which I only grew closer to as time went by. We ended up going to different colleges (they went to mine but dropped out after 1 and 2 semesters, respectively). I was incredibly lucky to take a super intro physics course and be stuck with a group of four that would later become my housemates and friends. Without them it'd be too much to handle, slowly slipping away from those I care about.
I guess what I'm saying is it's actually more about luck than anything else. There are good people who want someone like you to chill with, I guarantee it. If you put yourself out there for long enough you will find at least one friend, and to be honest thats all you need. More helps, a relationship helps as well, but you don't need those things, just one person who you can actually talk to and chill with.
If you live in or near ABQ I'd love to have a beer with you (so to speak), but if not there are others elsewhere that can be equally helpfull. It'll never be easy but you can't give up.
Stay strong <3
There is, sort of... the anonymous confessions thread in November. I've posted in them for as long as I've been on GAF, one year with something happy, another with something not so much. Probably not the best place for anything too heavy, as the people in the thread are looking for shock posts.
Honestly here is probably the best place, everyone in here is messed up some way, either mentally or physically. Also there's PM's which are anonymous for everyone but two parties, and a chat, although I'm not sure how busy that is. I'm always available for. PM, as are many in this thread. You can check the first OP for that info.
Whatever you have to say I'm sure there are people on this board who have gone through simmilar circumstances, so it can't hurt.
: )
Damn, you go girl! I'm so glad to hear that, good news is always welcome here, cause there's never enough.
Also identity issues I'm sure are welcome here. They cause a lot of people a lot of pain because of the confusion they cause within yourself for a while, and the way you are treated by society.
If you ever have something to post about, negative or positive, about being transgender or anything else, you're always welcome here, at least that's my opinnion : p
