#MentalHealth #Hope #SupportNeeded
Hey there,
I read your post and my heart truly goes out to you. It sounds like you’re going through a really tough time right now, feeling lost and alone. But know that you’re not alone – there are people out there who care and want to help.
I’m glad to see your update, where you’re committing to taking things day by day and trying to be more positive. That’s a big step in the right direction! Remember, progress is not always linear – there will be ups and downs, but every little step forward counts.
Here are a few possible solutions that may help you during this difficult time:
– Seek out professional help: Speaking to a therapist or counselor can provide you with coping strategies and a safe space to process your thoughts and emotions.
– Reach out to a trusted friend or family member: Sometimes, just talking to someone you trust can make a world of difference.
– Practice self-care: Take time to do things that bring you joy and relaxation, whether it’s going for a walk, listening to music, or practicing mindfulness.
– Engage in activities that promote mental well-being: Exercise, meditation, and creative outlets like art or writing can all help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Remember, it’s okay to not be okay. You’re taking a positive step forward by reaching out for help and support. Keep fighting, one day at a time. You deserve to find hope and happiness. 💪🌟
Sending you strength and positivity. You’ve got this! ✨ #StayStrong #YouAreNotAlone
Brother, you do have worth, you do have value. I don’t know what it is you are going through exactly but know that time heals all wounds. Everyone goes through bad patches. With our society that is so low trust and devoid of communal/familial structure and support it is quite common for men in their early 20s to feel this way. I don’t know what your economic situation is either but if it’s dismal know that you are still extremely young and have all the time in the world to go to college for a productive degree or attend a vocational program such as cybersecurity or a trade. Until you get set up with that and while you are setting yourself up with that you can have a part time job. This is going to sound very stereotypical and might make you roll your eyes also but if you are struggling with your self-image and getting a friend group I would get more into religion/connecting with God at a good house of worship and definitely try to hit the gym. Both of these things helped me tremendously more than I can articulate. Please be well man and know that things can get way better than you can even imagine
Sometimes your mind may convince you that there is nothing left for you, especially when you’ve been trying to push through for so long and nothing has changed. Theres a future version of you that will be glad you pushed through.
Know that you are not alone in your feeling. I’m glad you posted on here as it gives you a chance to hear from the perspectives of others.
The past may haunt you but it also no longer exists – your past decisions honestly cannot be changed and it’ll help to accept them as just that. And as tough it is to hear when you’re in a bad mental state, you have the ability to change the direction of your life. Rather than hoping for things to change, try to do the smallest thing that you can get yourself to do that would help you feel a bit better. And then do it again. Then build your way up. The smallest things can eventually turn your life around – i believe it’s possible because I’ve seen people do it. If they can, so can you. I hope this helps even the slightest bit.
I’m in the same boat. Giving myself until the end of the year then I’m checking out.
I gave up on it cuz my dog and cat wouldnt be loved as much as i did them..
you are in your prime! My life didnt really take off until I was right around your age. I was lost after college and felt worthless but I found myself very soon after! Im not saying to take the same path as me but I ended up joining the army and it gave me purpose in life and I felt like I could do anything! When I got out I got a good career and I love my life now. Sometimes you have to make a leap of faith in life and try something drastically different/new.
You know there is nothing after that?? How can life be so bad at 24y ??
Seek help, speak with family or just speak with a specialist.
Time to join the military bro. Do ur 4 years, get your free uni degree, get a security clearance, become a defense contractor. No more poor.
I am in the same boat, like I could have written this post, except I’m 33! I wish I was 24 again, that would basically feel like all my problems were solved!
brother… get some self help books. start with Anthony Robbins. one book at a time. you’ll feel different each time you finish a book. just focus on a strong reading/audio book regimen and never stop. guaranteed to change you on a cellular level
Create a plan for the life you want to live. You don’t have to die in poverty. It’ll take time hard work and effort but you can definitely do it man. Don’t give up. Don’t let these demons in your head take control. The more you believe you can’t handle it the worse it will get. Believe me you’re stronger than them. You just have to believe it. Self affirmations helped me a lot. Take a deep breath. And take it all one day,baby step at a time. And figure out what you have to do. Go to therapy if you can. Life didint give you the cards you wanted or deserve so put in the work to get the ones you can be happy with or at a minimum content with. Life is not perfect but we all do the best we can with what we have and what we can achieve. Good luck man. I love you man and your important and wanted, just in case nobody told you today. I wish you all the best man. Please take care of yourself
Im the same age as you and have no idea what im doing. I feel stuck being a sex worker and have no friends or family like you. Life goes on and we will be better before you know it 🙂 good luck
> 24 years old
Bruh I would give my left arm to be 24 (and emotionally dramatic) again.
One day at a time. Just live that day, and when the next day comes live that day, so on and so forth. It sounds stupid in theory but it will help. Alot can happen from now and 50 years from now. Happiness, sadness, loneliness, joy, love, family, friends, all of this will have ups and downs and that is a part of life.
I was in your shoes once, if you want you can DM me and I would be happy to talk but to put my life in succinct values it would:
Live each day as it comes.
DM me if you would like to talk, otherwise, just live each day as itself.
Yesterday is yesterday, Today is Today, and Tomorrow is yet to be Tomorrow.
My brother died by suicide when he was a little younger than you. Now that I’m older than he ever will be, I look back and see that he was just a kid, and had barely even started his life by the time it ended, even though I’m sure he couldn’t have pictured it at the time. Since you have nothing to lose, you have a lot more options than you think. You can leave all the pain of the past behind and re-create yourself and your future as many times as you like. Please consider calling a suicide hotline. It makes a world of difference and they really care.
You’re only 24. Please stop stressing out. Omg I’m 51 & still don’t know what career path to follow. Please chill out & stop being so hard on yourself. I’ve been there. Please. You are extremely young. Trust me on this
