I didn’t start struggling with my mental health until around the time summer started in 2024. I’m not gonna go into detail about that part but if u were wondering, that’s why I took my first break from This website. I took a second break last December. Again because of my mental health. That time was because I was starting to think that I’m a bad person, I’m a terrible bf, I’m not gonna amount to anything in the future, I’m a dumbass and that I don’t bring any good to anything. I’ve been struggling with that for a while up to that point but for some reason it got rlly bad then. I was having an average of 3 panic attacks PER DAY and life just sucked at that point. Later in December tho, I was able to keep those thoughts in the back of my mind. But now they’re starting to comeback. At the time of writing this I had a very bad panic attack about 15 mins ago and one earlier today at school. The reason is because I’m worried I’m gonna lose my gf. She’s the most important thing in my life. And recently she’s been seeming a lot happier around everyone else but as soon as I try talking to her she just seems way more sad. Earlier today when I tried to talk to her at school, she just told me to go to class and she seemed a little mad. Then in 4th hour she randomly told me “when we get home we need to talk” and when she says that, it’s never good. So I started panicing. I have no idea what I did wrong or what could come out of this. So when I got home I texted her and basically said I’m ready to talk whenever she is. But she never responded. Then I texted her again at about 9:30 saying that “im gonna go to bed soon and I’m sorry we didn’t get to talk but Gn I love u” then she just responded with “Gn” immediately after I sent that. Then I said if she still wants to talk then we can and then she just said Gn again. And that’s what caused my last panic attack. If anyone has any advice for me please give some. I have no idea what to do

Vinwix since I joined the AUB you were always a good friend to me. I don't have a gf so I unfortunately can't give any advice to you. I don't have panic attacks but I have autism but its not as bad as other people but my brain is still different from other people, and I have few friends at school because they went to a different school or dont have the same period as me. But anyways I really hope you are ok.

Thanks for the encouragement. I’m sorry u don’t have many friends at ur school. Ur a great person I’m surprised ur not the most popular in ur school

I don't talk to others that much so I think that's why I have less friends, but its mostly fine for me. But you seem to be in a worse position then me right now

Well as long as u have a couple of good friends then ig it’ll be alright. I don’t have many friends either. Just a couple people at my school that I hang out with. But my friend group isn’t exactly the smartest so a lot of times I feel like I end up babysitting them

FIRSTLY about the "I think I'm a bad person" part: you are NOT a bad person. You've been a great friend. You were like me a few years back just careful and every, single, word I said. Just learn to be confident in yourself, and know that people are demented and you're not going to be forever imprinted into someone's mind as "the worst person ever". If you keep saying that you're a dumbass that's only going to get worse and exaggerate the problem.

SECONDLY, about the deteriorating mental health state, and this is a repetition of the fact that you're NOT a bad person. You need to learn to let go of things and just live life knowing that not every single decision is going to decide the entire path of your life. You are NOT going to end up as a homeless person on the street just because someone thinks your breath smells bad.

THIRDLY, your gf. Since, apparently, people seem to have mental breakdowns every single day, your gf is also probably going through something. If you don't think you did anything horrible, you probably didn't. Just stay open and patient. You should ask her if she needs time or space, and then give her time and space.

FOURTHLY, you should also talk to irl friends and ask them for advice, since I don't think we here know as much about you as your friends in the real world. Additionally, if the mental health problem gets very bad, you should definitely consult a mental health specialist.

I hope you find this useful.

Yeh that’s pretty helpful ty. I did just start seeing a therapist. The only thing is I don’t wanna talk to my irl friends about it. Idk if I trust them and they give rlly shitty advice

Dang
I unfortunately have no advice but on the first problem, I have been struggling with the fact that my parents don't love me as much as my bro
I haven't got a gf so i can't rlly help you with that

Here I hope this picture of a cat makes you feel better 9g8e3t.jpg (click to show)

lol ty for the cat. I’m sorry that ur going through that. If u wanna talk about it, feel free to talk here

Update: things seem to be getting a little better with my gf. She’s actually talking to me again, but she does seem a bit mad at me still. And I still have no idea why she’s mad. That problem is slowly getting better tho. I do still feel like I could be replaced at any second tho. Even tho ik she wouldn’t do something like that

welcome to the club 🤝
(i suffer from anxiety disorder, adhd, depression disorder and high-functioning autism 😂)

Damn I’m sorry to hear that. For me it’s just adhd and anxiety but idk if I have depression

well depression disorder is that you sometimes feel depressed and sometimes not

Oh I didn’t know there was difference. I might have that then

lmao welcome to the club fr 🤝

Imgflip has recently started to become a joke but this is deep and I think this is what we all needed. A moment where we lift our eyes off of the funny meme site and take into consideration that every person here has a life. And if it wasn’t for you and the AUB, I wouldn’t have anyone to sympathize with. Overall, you VinWix, have led me to where I am right now writing this message. I feel a strange feeling when I write this, more than any other message. I don’t know what that feeling is but it feels right at the very least.

Ty that means a lot

But ur right it kinda has become a joke

I’m with you but it’s not like we can do anything about it in short term

Yeh…

But if Who am I wakes up one day and tells the Upvote begging community to **** off everyone would listen

Exactly

So yeah, I’m just going to play the waiting game and see how things turn out, I’ll be pretty active so I’ll be here I you need anything. Good luck with the life stuff

K ty

man why do i feel like im the only imgflip user who doesn't go suicidal every other day...

I’m not suicidal I’m just going through a tough time

I just kinda learned to just live life where it takes me and just not give a flying fokker 100 about anything

I wish I could learn to do that. But I can’t help it

I hope this stream shapes into what u want it to be, I do not have a GF, as anyone who is interested in me is either a bad person or just someone I would see as a friend, I have had quite a few panic attacks in the past, and vinwix, let this stream become a reflection of what u want the world to be, then u can change all of it

Ty :) I think I will

Just hope u r all right

Ty :)

I also hope I have been a good enough friend and have helped in whatever way with ur mental health

U have. Ty

cool
