God, you sound like a lovely person…

I have a crack in my windshield and I feel this energy right now

The mental health community is for people suffering from mental hardships for any reason. You can suffer from mental hardship even though your condition is biological. For example, a person who needs a colostomy bag may feel insecure about to and develop something like low self esteem or social anxieties.

Since we don’t have any Tourette’s focused communities, I linked a community where others share their struggles in life (be they environmental, psychiatric, social, biological, etc.) and people try to uplift each other.

Participating in the community does not automatically mean you have a psychiatric condition. It’s a community to share life’s hardships and lift each other up.

Jesus Christ, dude. I even said I don’t know if it is helpful or not. There are kind ways and dickhole ways to respond to someone trying to help. You chose the latter.

I’m quite positive that having Tourette’s syndrome can cause many people to struggle with mental health issues from the societal responses involved. But go off.

Yeah I have seen this picture repeatedly on the internet.

If this truly is the same person, would you really not be posting a more recent photo after all of these years?

Idk if this is at all in the ballpark of what you’re looking for, but there is mentalhealth@lemmy.world

I got an oil paint, brush, canvas, and easel set and used it once lmao

These are amazing. Where did they end up going?

I work a physical/tactile job in healthcare. My job won’t be in danger until robotics dramatically advance and cheapen. AI could conceptually do my job, but the physicality is missing. A lot of healthcare careers are this way. Not all of them are though, so be wise in your choice!

I’m really sorry, dude. I really wish corporations weren’t so soulless. :(

I do 100% feel this and do know that it often holds true.

But I’ve been dealing with a major episode of social rejection and abandonment from those who I felt fairly close to during a major life event. Happened over a span of several months last year culminating in the “climax” in early October before abruptly “ending”.

But I still struggle to move past it. I am even still friends with the people this happened with. We have a lot of good times, but things happen where it resurfaces and then it’s hard to get out of. :(

I’ve been in an intensive DBT program and while I have found it to be massively helpful for a lot of my base negative emotions, it doesn’t really touch this one much.

I’m honestly at a loss of how to begin to resolve this one. Does this part need a different type of therapy after my DBT program is done?

Really taking in and focusing on the sensations of a hot cup of coffee can do it for me. The smell, the taste, the warmth both from holding the mug and also when drinking it.

…yes, and? I don’t get what your comment is trying to get at. I’m sorry that I’m not an uber paranoid luddite. I use modern tech. The name is in jest.

I got one of those automatic litter robots recently and this is what I named it

Interesting. I didn’t hear this part. Do you have more on this backstory? I watched a video from chair girl, but she didn’t mention instigating anything. I mean I definitely wouldn’t blame her for not wanting to admit it lol.

She got fired for this video, unfortunately. :(

Not really related, but…

An interesting thing I was suggested to try in therapy when upset was to just stand outside in weather like this and physically focus on and notice the physical sensations on your body. It’s not something I’m obligated to do and I was given other ideas of things to try instead, but I thought it was a fun idea. Idk if I’d ever have the balls to do it but still lol.

If it’s not the work itself causing anxiety, then what is it about the transition that does?

What specifically about work are you anxious about? What kind of work do you do?

Seems common enough to have a lower mood at night. Idk why really but I’ve always been the same.
