Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 01.12.25
@Katie I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and write that out, thank you so much. It's reassuring to hear that I'm not doing anything wrong or I guess losing the plot by being this way, and that it's okay to rest. I always struggle to rest and allow myself to not be productive, since I have it in my head that my worth is tied directly to how productive I am and how much I get done every day, even though I'm aware that's not the case. I'm really scared of being lazy, so taking the time to rest is kind of difficult, though I've been making more of an effort to and trying not to beat myself up over it or feel guilty.
I haven't been able to speak to any professionals about how I'm feeling - it's hard to explain really but my parents are very distrustful of professionals and authority figures in general so I've never had the opportunity to, though I hope that in the future when I'm more independent I'll be able to, it's just not something that's possible right now.
Thank you again for listening, it honestly helps a lot just reading that and knowing people care.

Re: Can't take it.
This has been hard to admit. I know I admitted it earlier.
Things can get hard to the point where I know I need to shower but mentally it feels so difficult. It is like an exhausting task, I can't always bring myself round to doing it. Same with my body needs- eating and drinking, sometimes I can't recognise those signals because there is so much going on.
