I’m scared I’ll end up being alone. I’ve truly enjoyed being single all this time but as time passes by, I keep thinking to myself that something must be wrong with me that I’m not in a relationship. I also don’t feel confident being on dating apps since I gained weight during the pandemic (about 30 lbs). I’m holding off on dating until I get into better shape but I’ll be 27 by then and I feel like I’ll be too old to put myself out there.

Have been on Keto for 3 mo. Just had my cholesterol checked and it‘s >2x what it was 6 mo ago - more than double what’s considered high. Dr very worried and says I need to stop Keto or take meds....

Has anyone used some kind of adhd coach or just like a therapist or psychologist that you’ve found useful and could recommend? 🙏

Idk if it’s the COVID or if it’s just how some of y’all minds are set up, but the level of delusion from the posts I’ve been reading since this has all begun has kept me going 😭😂.

Stay delusional and self-absorbed, my friends!

Any lady 🐠 up for a drink/dinner tonight? 23 M here.

I had my first IVF transfer yesterday and for the 3 days leading up to the transfer I was having very painful cramps (normal for me) and the cramps have continued post transfer. They only last ~15 minutes after taking Tylenol but they are intense. I’m worried the cramps will interfere with implantation. Does anyone have experience with this? I told my doctor and she didn’t offer much advice other than staying hydrated and following the protocol.

Can anyone recommend a good therapist in the Arlington, VA area?

Any recos for a therapist who:
- is in BK/manhattan
- takes Oxford Health
- is good for treating social anxiety
- is female (preferably but not a game changer)

Hey hey all
Any tips on how to eat desi and healthy. Want to drop from 70 to 60 and get back my fighting bod before my non-existent dil mil dates come into existence.

I’m trying to get my parents into adopting healthier eating habits but nothing is really sticking. Do you have any recommendations or like books I can give them to teach them what’s actually good to eat vs. falling for good marketing/ fads?

Started 18mg concerta last Monday. Got bumped to 36mg today, had two cups of coffee and cannot stop smoking hence feeling jittery, not anxious. Is it the caffeine or nicotine mixing with increased stimulants?

having vivid violent dreams I can remember which has never happened. Pretty depressed also for reasons. Struggling to get out of bed let alone exercise. Feel inadequate for lacking mental strength

Salam brothers and sisters, I need help approaching a certain situation.

I'm in the early stages of talking to a girl and we really like each other. It's taken a long time to find this "click" with someone. And as much as I hate the term "halal haram ratio", I would say we're pretty similar (I.e only eating halal, not drinking, fasting, family values, etc.)

However, there is one specific thing that bothers me....... (cont)

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

Any advice 24m

About month ago I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) and had to go through cardiac catheterization to get a stent.
I am in mid 30s and it's unbelievable that i have got this. Have been quite down mentally for last few weeks, and don't think if I can sustain the consulting life anymore.
I am working hard to stop the progression of disease and potentially reverse it. Hope things work out.

I am so tired of it all. I’ve barely eaten in the last 3 days and had to take a painkiller last night to fall asleep. I’m so overworked and I constantly feel like a piece of sh*t. I don’t even have the energy to move right now and feel like I will faint any minute.

Is it possible to say "no" to a request, especially an urgent request, because you need to sleep? Sleep is like the #1 thing that keeps me from being suicidal but I feel like I can't say that...

How do you help someone get out of depression?

I’ve been working on making small conversations to strangers as a way to manage my social anxiety and to try to meet people the old-fashioned way, but it’s so nerve-racking. Any tips?

My mood has been fluctuating so much lately. Some days (yesterday) I wake up feeling invincible and some days (today) want to hide myself the rest of the world and feel like nothing will ever get better. I’m trying to push myself to make plans with other ppl and am really self-conscious about it cuz I don’t want ppl to see me in low spirit.. any ideas on how to fix that?

Does anyone feel there brain just dosent grasp things as quick as others

Every time I start a new project, I just look forward to the roll off date. It’s just so sad how I never find any of my projects exciting or fulfilling. I’ve been looking for a new job outside of consulting for years but haven’t landed anything. I just feel mediocre at best not knowing how to even do my own job since the requirement changes all the time.

Starting a new project tomorrow and I feel completely overwhelmed. Already feel burnt out from the past couple of projects I’ve been on... when is it time to call it quits?

On the road every week- feeling burnt out, depressed, seems like nobody cares

I no longer tell myself I want to be dead. Meds and therapy have helped. But I also seem to not care if I die or get a terminal illness or disease. Like I won’t put myself in danger but if I get a disease or illness I won’t mind either. Does anyone else feel like that? Maybe that’s one reason I don’t bother to get myself in shape.

I feel like every time people talk to me, they can tell there's something a little off about me. I just joined a new job, and all the other people in my class are getting along really well w our office, but I feel like im left in the dust

Does anyone else have a constant nagging feeling something bad is going to happen?

Thoughts on Alcohol and SNRIs? I'm supposed to be starting on Pristiq. I've drank while on SSRIs before with no issue but wanted to see if anyone has any experience.

I am done trying to pretend everything is fine at work. The higher ups on the team kept asking if I’m doing anything fun for the weekend during video calls. I felt the pressure to make something up but I just can’t. I’ve been struggling with depression, loneliness, anxiety with immigration and the fact that I might be out of work soon cuz my visa is expiring. I’m thousands of miles away from my family and I just want everything to stop. But when my manager kept asking in front of everyone am I
