2024.05.15 00:38 lilbaby2001 Working out on Ozempic

Yall. I’ve always struggled to work out because it’s uncomfortable and I have anxiety doing it in front of other people. Anyone else feel that way?? I think I found a solution. I bought an off brand infinity hoop, it’s basically a hula hoop with a weight that swings. I LOVE IT ALREADY. I’m excited to speed up my process a little bit. I’ve been ozempic for 10 weeks now and I’m down close to 30 pounds (I don’t own a scale and I only get weighed at the doctor, I feel this is what’s best for my mental health) if anyone else is struggling to work out I highly suggest this be something you try!! It’s not expensive, I got it from shein. I’m sure doing it consistently will make a huge difference! I’ll update weekly! 😄

2024.05.15 00:38 dorotheas0914 How can I improve myself?

So hi, I am a teenager who wants to improve myself and gain some confidence. Lately, I become very depressed I thought I was already healed na eh. I had depression since the pandemic era, a year after I tried my best to do better by self-healing but still I lost interest in things again and I mostly focused on social media. My routine always repeats itself, I feel like dying every day. I almost committed suicide before eh but I am still trying to get up and move on, I don't know where to start. There are lots of things that happened to me this past few years, I was bullied before and I also made lots of mistakes that still hurt me. There are times na sobrang naprepressure na din ako since I am the oldest child and luckily nga naging top student ako so they keep expecting so much. I've been always compared with my cousin na ngayon may mga successful na saka mga magaganda pa yung trabaho, professional na nga ata eh(kaya yun gusto akong pag engineerin). My father has a mindset na yung pang cocompare is he's way to motivate me to be better? I don't think so it will help me, I am too disrespectful to say this but ang pangit ng mindset nila. Ayoko din namang sabihing naprepressure ako kasi ang sasabihin bat ba ganyan yung mga kabataan ngayon. I also can't confess anything to my parents because I once told them about my mental health issue but they think depression is just something na nararamdaman mo lang or wala lang yan ganun. I tried to explain naman but they keep bringing up on how they grow up na kesyo ako nga ganyan, ako nga nagkaganto. Like wala na ba akong karapatang magsalita? That's why I keep it to myself. I feel like I am too young for suffering things, I know I don't deserve to. So, can you guys help me by giving some advice?? THANKYOUUU PO (correct me if I am wrong din poo)

2024.05.15 00:38 Sure_Estimate_6239 What are my job options if I am no longer pre-med?

Long story short I started college premed (im a biopsych major) and junior year I decided I didn't want to do it anymore. Parents were not happy with this decision and made me stick to it despite my failing mental health and grades (they just told me to try harder 💀). Due to this my grades are not good enough for medschool, and I need a job after I graduate this fall because my parents now say they are going to kick me out (due to no longer pursuing their goal of medicine). Due to being pre-med, I only briefly looked into marketing and comp-sci careers, but didnt take many classes (didn't think i could handle marketing with my courseload since I explored comp-sci). I also dont have much experience, besides being a sales associate in high school, which makes finding a job difficult.
I just need advice on what my career options are/where to go for job that will fully support me when I move out. I know many biopsych majors go into the field of health care, which I'm not completely opposed to if it pays well. I did intro to comp-sci so i have basic c++ knowledge (I got the feeling of quitting premed 2nd semester sophmore year so I tried CS first semester junior year). However, I don't see myself doing programming as a permanent job.
I just feel stuck because I'm graduating soon and it feels like no one will hire me. I've been applying to several entry-level marketing careers, but it feels like I am going to be rejected due to having no marketing classes compared to other applicants that do.

2024.05.15 00:38 Confident_Pain8263 Almost certain I have bpd but unsure how to get a diagnosis

I’ve struggled with mental health almost my whole life. Lately it’s been really bad and I have a LOT of trauma. I have every bpd symptom, uncontrollable anger, I constantly feel so empty inside, I’ll do any reckless thing imaginable when I get triggered ( reckless spending, drunk driving, lashing out, even cheating a few times which is horrible I know) it’s like something takes over and I can’t control it. I need constant re assurance and I trust nobody. I feel like a shell of a person walking around. Lately I don’t even feel like myself if that makes sense, I don’t even know who I am. I also struggle with maintaining my job, I manage but it’s so difficult. If someone says something even slightly rude at the wrong time I will lash out on them and not hold back. I feel like I’ve completely lost the person I used to be when I felt somewhat normal. I’m also just really scared to try and get help bc in my mind I think I’ll just be judged and belittled which will only make things worse. Do I just find a therapist and tell them outright I think I have bpd? I need help bc I can’t live like this and I’m heavily suicidal.

2024.05.15 00:37 DazzlingAvocado940 any virgins here, that are virgins because they are scared ?

I am 19f turning 20 soon, and i literally cannot imagine ever having sex. The reason why i am a virgin is because i am scared of intimacy and sex. I am unironically mentally retarded to talk to people and have very strong anti social tendencies. i basically never leave my home and cannot step a foot outside without taking my meds, or else i get a panic/anxiety attack. Ive had Men interested in me before, but just the thought of someone touching me or seeing me in my most vulnerable state makes me feel extremely anxious. i talked to a psychologist about this, but it didnt help. I mostly study from home and dont even go to university anymore, i am home all the time and either study or read something. I completely cut ties with friends and rejected every Man who was interested in me out of fear. I am not trying to gain sympathy, I just want to know if there's anyone else here who doesn't struggle with losing their virginity, but more because of their mental health ?

2024.05.15 00:34 shalalala77 Need help deciphering

Someone I know has been going to see a therapist for her struggles with self love and mental health.
I have given this person space to work with the therapist and let her just be alone for a while.
I received a response from her that seemed well crafted and written by her therapist. She did mention she was having an internal struggle with a question I asked her beforehand.
Should I be concerned with this response or should I be happy that she is using the therapy to work through things? Does this mean it is helping?

2024.05.15 00:34 Jellikaja Rocky path ahead, but Im finally not alone anymore!

Hey yall! So a few days ago I wrote a big post about my current state of mind and my definetly not healthy copeing mechanisms, but it got taken down by a bot for what I assume was "implied self harm".
Today I want to tell this story in a more positive light. Since my diagnose in late 2021 I had lots of ups and downs regarding my mental health. I applyed for therapy after getting diagnosed with moderate depression, but there werent any open spots around ANYWHERE. Well, fast forward to this february and I started falling into the darkest place so far with me most of the time not feeling strong enough to leave my room for weeks on end, started smoking regularly and started drinking all alone.
UNTIL TODAY! I opened up to two of my friends about all of this and for the first time since my first ever TC in 2021 I felt like things would get better for my mental health.
I had my llast seizure more than a year ago and my body is handling my dosage of 400mg lamotrigin pretty well, so the physical aspects of my epilepsy seem to be very well controlled. And now Im feeling confidant that with the support of my friends Ill eventually leave this last symptom behind me aswell.

2024.05.15 00:32 iamelloyello coughed up a bit of blood an hour ago

I have had a nasty cold since Thursday of last week. I am asthmatic, so I usually get a nasty cough to go along side it. tiny streaks of blood here and there in the phlegm, nothing too concerning. I am finally feeling better as well, until I went to take a steamy shower as the cough has been really bothersome the past day or so. One hard cough and spit later and just blood... maybe 1/4 of a teaspoons worth. I am freaking out. I already reached out to my doctor and I am waiting to hear back. I have coughed a few other times since then and nothing of note, but I am incredibly health-anxious, and I am freaking out. Weirdly, I have been on Amoxicillin since Wednesday of last week for something completely unrelated, so hopefully I don't have pneumonia or anything.

2024.05.15 00:32 cuckmeister66 My body's response to anxiety - any tips?

Hi everybody,
I'm a 28 year old guy with a relatively good corporate job, a decent social life, and good health and hobbies. I'm likable and don't have a particularly stressful life.
That said, I've struggled with anxiety since I can remember. I've always been the anxious type, thinking bad things will happen and fantasizing about potential bad outcomes.
I've come along way with the mental part of anxiety - I know the tricks and have been to therapy on and off. Re-frames, journaling, scheduling worrying time, actually playing out the bad scenarios to realize how unlikely they are. All these provide marginal relief, and I appreciate them for what they are.
However, what I'm really struggling with is my body's response to anxiety - particularly acute anxiety. I do take beta blockers which help keep my heart rate low, but even with them, my blood pressure shoots up, I feel it in my heart, and I get a bit sweaty, tense, and tunnel-visioned.
It's been happening all my life, but I'm starting to get more frustrated than ever. I know what it traces back to - yearning for others' approval, fear of being judged, being in trouble, and/or looking dumb or inept. These things make me feel scared and as though I'll be exposed. However, I've had success in life in spite of my anxiety response - it's almost as if because I've succeeded in spite of my anxiety, my body has entrained the anxiety response as a positive. It's not a positive for me, though - it's excessive and unhealthy.
I am trying to find a way to re-wire my body to not have such a strong response when confronted with things that make me anxious. Breathwork helps me calm down after the resopnse, but it doesn't blunt the response in the first place.
Maybe I need EMDR or to try holotropic breathing, or perhaps something else.
Does anyone have any tips or any similar experience? Thanks so much.
EDIT: some specific triggers that give me an immediate feeling of tension and adrenaline/pounding heart, sometimes with one sided head pain(even though it's slowed from the beta blockers):

2024.05.15 00:32 CNIS-Azerbaijan-Baku Steve Goodrich Head of Research and Investigations, Transparency International UK: “Azerbaijan is an increasingly repressive state with a widely-recognised corruption problem. This is one of a series of investigations by journalists exposing vast amounts of UK assets held by the Azerbaijani elite…”

Steve Goodrich Head of Research and Investigations, Transparency International UK: “Azerbaijan is an increasingly repressive state with a widely-recognised corruption problem. This is one of a series of investigations by journalists exposing vast amounts of UK assets held by the Azerbaijani elite…”
“Azerbaijan is an increasingly repressive state with a widely-recognised corruption problem…”
(Lack of) Human Rights and Freedoms
The Khatai District Court has ruled to extend the detention of three journalists involved in the “AbzasMedia case.” Bail has been denied for Ulvi Hasanli, the director of “AbzasMedia,” Sevinj Vagifgizi, the chief editor, and Imran Aliyev, the head of the meclis.info platform, regarding their release. Ulvi Hasanli has also filed a request to see his infant child.
Amidst the recent wave of arrests targeting journalists and civil society activists in Azerbaijan, restrictions have been imposed on the departure of public figures and media representatives from the country. Narmin Hasanova, the sister of Ulvi Hasanli, the director of the independent online publication “Abzas Media,” is among those affected by this travel ban. “All of this casts doubt on my future. All my plans have been disrupted. Even if they lift the ban today and allow me to return home, I won’t be able to reclaim the stability I’ve built over the years. I’ve already lost certain things. I will have to start everything from scratch,” expressed Hasanova.
There are numerous instances in Azerbaijan where individuals identified by human rights defenders as “political prisoners” have not been provided with proper medical treatment despite suffering from serious illnesses while in detention. It is reported that the health of Alasgar Mammadli, the founder of the independent internet television station “Toplum TV,” has deteriorated. His wife, Gunay Mammadli, has provided information on this matter. She expressed concern about her husband’s declining health, evident in his voice: “I spoke with Alasgar today, and there’s a noticeable change in his tone. It’s likely due to swelling in the neck area, resembling goiter. There have been increases in measurements, impacting his vocal cords as well. For three weeks now, there has been no response from the tests conducted,” said Gunay Mammadli. On April 26, Alasgar Mammadli underwent examination at the Ministry of Internal Affairs Hospital and blood tests were taken. He was then returned to the detention center. Neither Mammadli nor his lawyer has been provided with information regarding the results of the examinations.
Jailed activist Bakhtiyar Hajiyev reflected on the unlawful treatment he faced. “Officials forcibly seized my documents and forcefully transported me to court. This isn’t the first time—it’s become a pattern: whenever my detention is prolonged or when my bail release documents are under review, they confiscate my papers as I’m escorted to court. It appears these unlawful actions are orchestrated by the Penitentiary Service leadership or at the direction of the new Minister of Justice,” said Hajiyev.
As a joint demonstration of international solidarity, 240 organizations, scholars, and human rights defenders have published an open letter demanding the complete withdrawal of accusations against Gubad Ibadoghlu, the chairman of the Azerbaijan Democracy and Prosperity Party, who was released on bail recently. The letter states that Dr. Ibadoghlu is a renowned economist, a resident of the United Kingdom, and an academic collaborating with the London School of Economics (LSE). “The Azerbaijani government detained him on July 23, 2023, on baseless accusations of embezzlement and terrorism, and he remained in investigative detention for nine months until his release on bail on April 22, 2024. His trial may begin on May 20,” the document notes. ” “The UNCAC Coalition and 239 additional signatories emphatically demand the immediate and unconditional release of our friend and colleague, Gubad Ibadoghlu”, said Mathias Huter, Managing Director of the UNCAC Coalition.
On May 10, the case of Famil Khalilov, a critic of the government and a first-degree disabled individual, regarding his detention was reviewed. As reported by “Abzas Media,” the Baku Court of Appeal did not uphold the complaint. The initial court’s decision stands, and Khalilov remains in custody. “Prison personnel struggled to bring Khalilov to court due to his limited mobility. His condition worsened during the proceedings. We will seek bail for him to be placed under house arrest. He cannot manage without external assistance,” stated lawyer Bahruz Bayramov to “Turan.” Famil Khalilov, who sought political asylum in Sweden last year, was repatriated this year and detained on May 2. He is charged under Article 234.4.3 of the Criminal Code (illegal trafficking of a large quantity of narcotics), and a pretrial detention measure has been imposed. According to his relatives, Famil Khalilov was detained for criticizing the Azerbaijani government on social media. If convicted, Khalilov faces a sentence ranging from 5 to 12 years of imprisonment.
Baku City Executive Authority yet again rejected the request of the National Council of Democratic Forces to hold a rally in Baku. The refusal was justified on the grounds that the areas in front of the May 28 and Narimanov metro stations are located in parts of the city with intensive traffic, and holding meetings in these areas would cause traffic jams and violate citizens’ rights to free movement. The Chairperson of the National Council of Democratic Forces, Jamil Hasanli, commented on the decision, saying that the regime intends to create a closed country: “They want to create a closed country. They don’t want problems to be voiced, they want the people to express their protest against the policies being pursued.”
For years, opposition parties have been denied permission to hold rallies in the center of Baku. Instead, the government traditionally offers remote locations far from the city center for the National Council of Democratic Forces, which also includes the Azerbaijan Popular Front Party. The National Council was planning to hold a rallies in the city center on May 5 and May 12, but both requests were denied. Lawyer Samad Rahimli says that using the argument of disrupting citizens’ rest rights to justify the refusal of rallies is absurd.
Governance and Corruption
A recent investigation, jointly conducted by the OCCRP, Mikroskop Media (Azerbaijan), iFact (Georgia), and analyzed by Transparency International UK, has unveiled £75.6 million worth of UK properties allegedly owned by Beylar Eyyubov, the Azerbaijani security chief, raising concerns about unexplained wealth.
Eyyubov, who has served as the head of security for the President of Azerbaijan for three decades, spanning the tenures of both Ilham Aliyev and his father Heydar Aliyev, has no discernible sources of substantial family wealth. However, corporate and land registry records indicate that the Eyyubov family has amassed an expensive property portfolio in the UK. This includes three mansions in Hampstead situated on the same street, in close proximity to a residence previously reported by the OCCRP in 2015 as belonging to President Aliyev‘s family.
These revelations stem from newly disclosed information available on the Register of Overseas Entities, which was enacted into law in 2022 following extensive advocacy efforts by Transparency International UK, alongside other NGOs and parliamentarians.
The significant gap between the cost of these properties and the known income sources of the Eyyubov family raises serious questions about the origin of the funds used to acquire these assets. Three mansions secretly owned by Eyyubov’s wife, Zohre Sultanova, and daughter, Elvira Eyyubova, are located in prestigious parts of North London. Elvira also owns two penthouses close to the city center and a luxury apartment. Another property owned by her is in Canterbury, and another house is situated in a coastal town in Dorset.
The family acquired these assets in England through offshore companies between 2007 and 2018. Eyyubov’s wife currently holds stakes in two active businesses: a renowned café in London and a high-end hotel in the resort city of Batumi, Georgia.
In response to this investigation, Steve Goodrich Head of Research and Investigations, Transparency International UK said: “Azerbaijan is an increasingly repressive state with a widely-recognised corruption problem. This is one of a series of investigations by journalists exposing vast amounts of UK assets held by the Azerbaijani elite, which have been bought with wealth of questionable provenance. Given the vast discrepancy between the Eyyubov’s known sources of income and the apparent value of their property portfolio, there are strong grounds for law enforcement to investigate whether these houses were acquired with the proceeds of crime.”

Gabi, is that you?
I commented this on her recent short hair reveal. She said that in 2020 she dyed her hair blonde because she was "going throigh mental health struggles". While my intention isn't to diminish Gabi's mental health state, i know for a fact that she dyed her hair right after selling CP during which she was supposed to be "reflecting". She rebranded to a blonde because she didn't want to be associated with the version of her that sold CP

2024.05.15 00:31 Ambitious_Value912 How do I (M18) talk to him (M16) about this?

(Sorry for any wrong grammar, English is not my first language)
My boyfriend and I have a good relationship, we both communicate our feelings well and we try to understand each other as much as we can. But recently I found out that I have an anxious attachment style and I found myself worrying about everything that's related to him as things were changing lately. This and the fact that he's been busy lately with his upcoming exams and other commitments did not help my situation at all. Although I did ask my friends for help and comfort and they said that only he can fix things.
Now here's the thing, I asked him to at least reaffirm me about the situation so that I know that the negative thoughts in my head are wrong, and to update me every once in a while so I could feel his presence and I don't feel neglected at all. This did not work out as he felt like he was under pressure of all the other things he's doing.
This might be where things start to get complicated; I started having an anxiety earlier because he hasn't replied all day and I've been overwhelmed with emotions, so this resulted with me asking plenty of questions, regarding my self-worth and/or if I've done anything wrong. He replied 8 hours later after I sent all those texts and he told me to not worry and that nothing changed as he was just busy. This however still did not feel enough of an answer for me because I wanted to understand his situation more.
And this is where I'm in the wrong... I snapped and had a mental breakdown and I started asking questions out of frustration and desperation. I told him that the current situation felt one sided as I don't feel my love getting reciprocated in the same way, although I don't see it like that completely because I understand that we have different love languages and he expresses his love in a different way, but it's just not consistent at the moment. I told him that I felt alone and I felt like I'm the only one showing vulnerability and not vice-versa. He replied that he already told me all the bad things that happened, and the he's just not emotional at the moment to open up about anything in the present. To which I replied that I understand and I asked him to at least update me on what he's currently doing every once in a while so I don't have to sit and guess about anything and let my thoughts do its own thing. I then started having a self-sabotaging moment where I was asking him everything including what I am to him and I told him that he doesn't have anything to lose since none of them know about us and I'm that I'm just his secret. I asked him if I was worth the risks.
(A little note: I am out to my family and my friends and they're supportive about it and the fact that we're dating while he's the opposite as me because his parents are not very accepting of it, although he is planning to tell them and his friends in the future)
Understanding him hurts me, but I really am making an effort just to prevent any misunderstanding between us. I just wish that he'd communicate more and that I'd feel like I'm not begging for his time at the very least. It shouldn't be this hard...
He said that his mind cannot take and process any of it at the moment, I tried to understand his situation. He then asked me to talk about all of it later but now I feel really horrible and I felt like distancing myself after all the things that happened and I've said and I'm afraid that these will be the cause of things to fall apart but that might be just my anxiety... I really do love him and I'm sure that he feels the same way, and I'm trying my best to put my trust on him but I really can't control the unnecessary thoughts that come into my mind that only he can dispel... :(
What do I do now?

2024.05.15 00:31 LargeDetective2158 I'm planning to stop schooling.

I'm a first year Pharmacy student, I want to become a doctor someday, but now I'm losing hope, I don't see myself capable of being a doctor, I'm struggling with my lessons and memorizing, I'm always insecure about my classmate who's always striving sa classes namin and always mataas yung scores sa tests and exam.. I don't know Kong paanu nila na memorize agad yung lectures habang Ako pinoprocess ko pa lang sa utak ko yung sinasabi nang prof namin, always burned out na Ako ang my mental health is not in a good state na. And na notice ko narin na ayaw makipag group sa Akon ng ibang kaklasi ko and my suggestions was always rejected. Although I did tried my best to pass my subject pero kahit Anong gawin ko Hindi tlaga sya mataas. I'm in the edge of losing my scholarship because I can't seem to maintain my grades. Nag strustruggle narin Ako mentally.
I'm always a top in my class when I was in highschool, but now I'm always behind. I want to stop( for a year) to rest for a while pero Meron talaga sa part ko na ayaw ko rin ma left behind and mag adjust again sa new classmates ko if bumalik Ako. Naguguilty rin Ako sa expenses, nahihiya na Ako humingi. Never nmn ako prinessure ng asking Ina at nung sinabi ko sa kanya yung pinagdadaanan ko, inintindi niya talaga Ako. Meron sa part ko na gusto ko tlang huminto pero Meron din na part na ayaw dahil sayang Yung mga pagod at sacrifices ng Ina ko.
What should I do? Can I ask some advices?

Gabi, is that you?
I commented this on her recent short hair reveal. She said that in 2020 she dyed her hair blonde because she was "going throigh mental health struggles". While my intention isn't to diminish Gabi's mental health state, i know for a fact that she dyed her hair right after selling CP during which she was supposed to be "reflecting". She rebranded to a blonde because she didn't want to be associated with the version of her that sold CP
