Hello ! I broke my elbow in 2023 during a biking trip and had a cast for few months then I went back to normal life. Last month, I had a bad fall and had to use my hand to avoid hitting my face and my arm had been hurting a lot lately. My X-Ray came clean. I am worried about myself.
I probably had the worst, I was like a zombie and my body would just not cooperate. I did the minimal hours of work but it would take me so long to rest. Only today, after two weeks of fighting that I feel I am back to life. I had my period yesterday so it might explain something but this is not a way to live. How am I supposed to build a life like that ? I am already 32 !!
I hate how weak my body is. I lost all of last week because I could barely move from my bed and had to scream out yesterday. There was big pressure in my head and near my ears. I do not even understand what I have but i am definitely not living life. I am isolating and comparing. I had an accident three years ago and had a cast for few weeks, now my arm has been hurting me so much.
At their wedding, my friend’s husband pointed out how I was a nice pillow because two women guests were leaning on me for rest and I looked him in the eye and said I do not mind being a pillow. Now I feel angry !
I sent pictures of people from a wedding to a person they did not know just to share the culture and memories. Now I am thinking I did a social misstep.
My pms is ruining a lot for me. I just finished a full vacation week rotting in bed and now we are Monday and I am not able to get out of freeze mode. I took myself out for food and a walk in the park but the negativity I am feeling is just too much.
I am having a very bad episode right now. I am remembering an old trauma and starting to doubt people who were there thinking they set me up. What is this ? I already took myself out and I am at the park.
Hello ! I am 32F and got hit today by a thought that people gathered after I went out with them and caused a scene and made fun of me. The incident I am referring to happened 3 years ago. I have been ruminating about my interactions with that group of people since then and did not have the courage to get into new relationships. I get that I lacked self-respect but why do I feel punished till now ? I cut off that group completely after the 3rd or 4th outing but did not cut off the person that introduced me. I am closing at this chapter but I want to understand.
I attended a friend’s wedding and the mom of the groom was left behind while the father of the groom did not want to go and pick her up back so the dad of the bride went. I get it is a family thing but I was genuinely shocked. Am I overreacting ? (They are Canadians)
My luteal phase hit me really hard this time. Like I was down and a supposedly friend told me something hurtful adding to it which made me question everything with that person. I have been distancing myself from her but I had a week where resentment resurfaced up till having shame for an old injure till now I feel fully myself again. Can anyone relate ?

I want someone to test my levels of maturity.
I went to the gym and left my phone at home, locking the door behind me. When she got back and couldn’t find me, she panicked and called emergency services, she’s visiting from Sweden. When I came back I found the police and fire department at the door of my flat. Luckily, they did not break anything to get in. I live in Japan.
When I asked her, she said she thought something happened to me inside as in a medical emergency.
I am a 32-year-old woman and I live in Japan alone. I have always lacked some energy and would burn out but now I realized that my situation is completely unsustainable. I spent last week having trouble getting anything done and just wanted to sleep to recover from something I do not even understand. I do not really have a support system here and given that I work late I do not have regular spots I visit. I dread forming connections with people and opening up. I went to a therapist and after giving me a survey he said I had borderline ADHD which I do not understand. 3 years ago, I have a terrifying experience with an alcohol-heavy group of westerns and I ruminated on that a lot. I also have not been in a relationship in 10 years. Can anyone relate ?
As a woman with no kids, how can I build wealth while living in Japan ?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been dealing with a few things that feel connected, and I’d really appreciate hearing how others have handled them.
How do you actually learn to judge yourself less? I feel like I’m constantly evaluating how I come across and it’s exhausting.
For those who grew up in a religious environment, how did you deal with lingering shame around being yourself, expressing things, or just existing more freely?
And socially, how do you put yourself out there in a healthy way without overthinking everything or feeling like you’re doing it “wrong”?
I feel like I hold myself back a lot, and even when I try to open up, I end up analyzing everything afterward. I’d love to hear practical advice or even just personal experiences.
Thanks in advance.
I have been in my PhD program for 3 years now and I did not come out with anything concrete. A lot of it was because I took a break in the middle of it but now I need it done in 6 months. My supervisor is obviously not the most helpful but my main worry is ending up with something meaningless or that would not be viewed as PhD-level. I am also funding this on my own at the moment so any ideas on how to get funds/grants would be helpful !! (I am based in Japan)
