I feel like my mind doesn’t want me to live. It’s constantly attacking me and my actions, twisting other people’s words into personal attacks and just making me feel like a failure who doesn’t deserve anything. I honestly don’t know what to do.

My friend, these thoughts are not uncommon, but the level to which they affect you is unusual. You should get professional help. They'll help you not feel like this.

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. Agree with the other folks about seeking therapy. Work on breaking negative thought patterns via cognitive behavioral therapy. It has worked for me - takes some effort b/c those negative recordings in your head play on repeat but will dissipate and be replaced by more positive thoughts. Maybe also start by writing down all your achievements and things you’re grateful for. Also, do you have access to nature? Spending time in nature and in the ocean is very healing - especially the ocean. Good luck and take care! 💖

Thank you 🙏🏻

Therapy.

I’m a LCSW, have been working in mental health for 10 years, and have a job that enables HRSA to pay off my student loans. I really want to go back to medical school to be a psychiatrist. I’d like to pay my student loans off before taking on more debt but worry I will be way too old to go back since I already feel way too old at 38 to do it. Has anyone over the age of 35 gone back to med school? What were your challenges? Was it worth it?

And I'm not worthy of dating because I smoke? I'm so tired of the stigma of weed when you could smoke an ounce in a night and the worst that could happen is you fall asleep. Alcohol on the other hand is literally a poison..

Here we go again. Less than a week after Colorado Springs. We have a lot of guns out there and many are in the wrong hands, but we need to find a solution instead of throwing up our hands and giving up. We need to decide whether to give everyone guns or nobody (besides law enforcement and the military) has them. Amend the 2nd Amendment.

24M here. I’m in this weird place in life where I’m not really tempted to go out, I’m single, no dates, no girls I talk to, don’t go out with friends either. Life is pretty stagnant. Yes I could put myself out there and what not, but man this is getting boring. Anyone gone/going through a similar phase in life? How do I break this stagnant phase?

I'm pro-choice and have been for a long time, but I understand pro-lifers. If you really considered a fetus to be a baby, then you'd see abortion as the same thing as killing a newborn which would obviously be horrible. The main debate is whether or not a fetus is human enough to have rights, which is debateable even by scientists, which is why abortion deadlines are so arbitrary (6 weeks, 15 weeks, etc).
