Talk to us. What’s going on? As in, specifically?

I can help. If you can get me access to Watson. 😂

But seriously. Try ASMR. It’s like my mom putting me to sleep and making my feel safe, comforted and loved.

Body scan meditation.

Additional Posts in Depression/Anxiety Talk

Has anyone dealt with parents that never listens to what you actually need? All I need is support and empathy, but they always hand me oranges when I ask (specifically for apples). They think they are doing their best to care for me. But when I explain that I’m not happy at work and all they do is shame me for not being strong or smart enough for it. They ignore me when I keep coming out to them as gay (had to do it multiple times), and still keeping asking me to get a bf. I’m so bottled and mad
