Stuck.

4 days ago · 4 · low self esteem, +5


50

I feel like I've been stuck for the last 10 years. My body ages but my mind is where it was when I first cracked, when I became painfully aware of this existence. I've pushed people away, I don't find joy in most things, I don't speak much, I'm terrible at keeping relationships (of any kind). I've become this grandma that is so fed up of life and I'm only 26.

The thing is that I'm aware of this and a lot more that goes in me but I don't know where to start healing, I'm stuck.

    Start by seeing a therapist.

      What if you can't afford it?

    Start with the therapy. The best way is to combine antidepressants with the therapy. There is no point to start any relationships when you are confused.

    We all sometimes can feel like we're in a stuck place (myself definitely included — what you've described sounds a lot like my life right now). I think what can help is first accepting that you're stuck, not trying to change it right away, just identifying what life aspects, activities, or habits make you feel stuck. Coming to places like these or to a therapist and then communicating yourself can also help. (If you don't have any money for professional therapy, there's this place called NYCWell you can try where you can speak to someone for free: https://nycwell.cityofnewyork.us/en/).

    If you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by "when [you] first cracked?" Did something happen ten years ago?
