When I’m in a mixed state I feel ugly like my face doesn’t look right

First pic is of today when I feel depressed, anxiety and treason. second pic from a few weeks ago. When I felt great and energized.

Looking in the mirror is the worst

These are two different people I want to go back to a few weeks ago 😭 does others get this as well?

My job wants to send me to manager training and it triggered me

I have started a new job on June 24, 2026. I have almost worked consistently between 90 and 100 hours since I’ve been there and his last pay period I worked 120 hours. I’m 25 out of college. I have a masters degree in dietetics. But I recently got this managerial position.
Last week, my boss and one of the directors gave me an appreciation card for working so much because we were short staffed and gave me a $20 gift card

Today they said they were gonna send me to a management class because like I said, I didn’t have any experience and I said that during an interview. I asked my boss if I had done something. He’s like no it’s just a day for you to be able to relate to other managers work short staff to be able to ask questions.

Anyways, to get to the point, I get what he is saying and I really do appreciate this class because I feel like I’m fucking sucking but at the same time this is confirming my suspicious that I hate that they fucking hate me and they want to fire me? I’m also on a mixed episode so I’m very reactive right now.

How much power does reading a demon’s name hold?

I know this is going to sound dumb, but please don’t make fun of me.

OK, I’m 25 and back in my early years. I loved everything horror and occult. Well, one day I read this scary story posted on a website, that had like rituals and spells. Apparently the story had a demon‘s name in it.I read the name, my head started hurting, and my skin felt prickly and like it was itching. Other people in the comment section were saying the same thing happened to them too.

Now I was 13 when it’s happening and it scared the absolute shit out of me. I have been putting it out of my head for years but any time I get it itchy I get worried (I know dumb). The itching lasted almost a week.

I used to pray alot when I was younger and tried to pray it away but I’m still wary.

Is this something to still be concerned about? Or was I just overreacting that night?

OK, I guess I was hypomanic

I made a post here a few days ago saying how energetic and happy I felt because I recently upped lamo to 100mg last week. I actually kinda like myself and then I started knowing that my face looked different. Now today I’m agitated, snippy, and having SI. I took my nephews out and caught myself getting angry and irritated.

I have anxiety thinking everyone at my new job hates me and is wanting to fire me or make me quit. Even though they just gave me an appreciation card and $20 giftcard.

I hate this shit. This is why I’m always scared of that happy feeling because it’s going to end

NSFW I [25F] Found soiled sex toys in my bf [36M] bathroom drawer

I [25F] Found poop covered sex toys in my bf [36M] bathroom drawer

In my boyfriend’s bathroom and I was looking for some tissue. He has had hygiene issues in the past I looked over like I’ve seen poop on the floor from his pets and his bathroom has been atrocious, but he’s been doing better after I said something. We been together for 9 months.

Anyways, I opened up the drawer to see if he had any tissue on the other side and I find dildos( I already know that he uses them). He showed me and I have no problem with that. For the fucking fact, they were covered in shit and he also had toilet paper with shit on it sitting in the drawer, and one dildo had shit tissue wrapped around it.

I don’t know what to fucking do I feel sick. I don’t think I’m attracted to him after at this point.. it’s already other bs too. I know what I have to do I just have to get this out because it keeps replaying in my mind.

I’ve had dinner with him and his parents two weeks ago on his birthday and the next day after he ended up telling me to his mom said that we have a reacher and settler relationship. I’m the settler in this case and he is the reacher

I need advice. I’m just fucking sick. I don’t even know what to say. Should I say that I found it?

TLDR: found poop sex toys in bathroom

I fucked up becuase I’m stupid

I quit my old job that wouldn’t give me hours and pay was not great. HR also just brought her grandson in and basically gave my hours to him so I just left.

Anyways I got this new job as a kitchen supervisor. In the first 8 days I was there I worked 90 hours. I’ve been there for a month and next week looks like I have to pull 11 hours shifts everyday Because we are short staffed.

I can become a dietitian I just need to pass the state exam. I failed it twice last year which threw me into suicidal/depressive state for a few months. I haven’t brought myself back to it yet because of the fear I have around failing again:

But this job definitely I need to start back studying. But I can’t if I’m there sun up to sundown. I fucked up so bad omfg. I feel like the only solutions is to off myself. I know that’s going off the deep end but fuck

Am I wrong because I don’t want to take care of my mother because she’s delusional

I’m 25. My mom Is 68 I’m trying to move out of my dad’s house. My parents are divorced, they’ve been divorced since I was 5 years olds.

My mom and I moved in with my dad when I was 10.

She stated the reason for the divorce is because my father was cheating and because she didn’t want to work when she had my eldest sister which is now 35.

She has refused to work because she is delusional and believes god will give her a million dollars and a house. Obviously that hasn’t happened.

When my parents were divorced me and my sister lived in and out of hotels, and stayed over family members houses. Then in 2010 is when my dad got the house and we all stayed in it.

My sister moved out around 2014 I honestly don’t remember.

Anyways since then my mom has continued to not work. She’s has no drivers license, she has no savings, no insurance no nothing. She’s has $100 in her account right now beucase I gave her that money.

Me and my sis helps out in anyway possible.

I make $21 hr right now at this new job I started. I have worked 90 hours in 1 week so I can get overtime.

I need to get my dietitian license I will make more.

I’m not continuing have the rest of my life ruined by her. She homeschooled me from ages 5-18 and basically used me as her personal Therapist and ATM.

I was like between the ages of 5-8 she would tell me how her dad SA her when she was younger and how her mother would treat her brother better than her.

I’m assuming she has used god as a coping mechanism for the trauma she has been through. So I really do feel bad for resenting her. I’m
Not sure if she has ever gotten therapy for that.

I’m basically bitter because I never was allowed to experience anything a normal kid would and now I’m trying to act 18 at 25. My sister went to school, had parties, went to summer camp, prom, homecoming, boyfriend’s friends.

wtf did I have growing up? Nothing. You know who I invited to my birthday parties? my parents and sister.

Even in college I was a fucking weirdo because I was isolated for 18 years I don’t know how to interact with anyone.

I had my first friend at 21 and a bf at 23.

She controlled me with “god speaking to her”

Even though we live with my father( he lets her stay there because I’m there, he has asked her multiple times when she leaving) I’ve been caring for her financially since I got my first job at 18. Basically giving her around 100-200 a month or buying stuff for her.

I rather not have anyone in my apartment not providing anything. I provide all the food, toiletries now at my dad’s house.

I can’t stay here the tension is too much. 16 years she has sat in this house and not made any progress to get out of here.

If she would contribute to anything if she lived with me I would be fine. She has no disabilities and basically fucked me and my sister over because of her dumb bullshit. Now we have to take care of her??? It’s not fair.

Feeling better when skipping lamotrigine

Hi I was dx 3 months ago. My doc gave me lamotrigine so far I’ve only been on 50mg. She didn’t want to up my dose even tho i asked because my depression is still bad. She didn’t want to up my dose becusse I got a new job she would she thought this would make a positive change . I didn’t argue with her about that beucsse that’s not how my brain works.

Anyways the new job we were so short staffed I worked 82 hours in the 8 days I was there. Which threw me into hypomanic with severe anxiety, SI, and anger.

Anyways I’ve been sick the past few days and haven’t taken my dosage because I been taking cough syrup and Benadryl I don’t know how that would react with it.

I feel fantastic (despite the sinus infection) I feel like happy? Or maybe I’m just drugged out. I didn’t feel like it was working anyway

Make sure you get sleep and not overwork yourself

Dx two months ago

I started a new job as a supervisor I have only been there for a week and I worked 88 hours. My boss apologized to me yesterday he wasn’t aware I worked all those hours.

Anyways coupled with the anxiety I have about everything+ sleep deprivation l. Through me into a mixed episode of SI, anger, crying spells, irritable, intense anxiety.

I had to call off one morning because I woke up at 4am vomiting and with body aches. I just laid in bed the whole day

Everyday I got up i cried. I told my psych and she gave me Clonidine. It took it away I’ve been able to get through work without crying and feeling impending doom

Please take it away

I started a new job 6/28 and by the following Tuesday I worked 82 hours in a week.

It’s a supervisor position we were short staffed. This also lead me to not be able to sleep.

I called off yesterday I felt so sick. Like I was getting the flu. I woke up at 4am vomiting had chills nd body aches

This morning someone messaged me as soon as I got up telling me they weren’t coming in.

I just started bawling my eyes out. When I get like this I try to hide it. I was telling my mom bye and she asked if I was ok and it turned back into crying.

On the way to work I was screaming I had to sit in the car for 10mins before I came in

I’m a fucking mess holy shit. I want to quit so bad but I know I can’t. I want to die but I know I can’t.

Please just take it away please. I just want to function

Fuck fuck im spiraling

Recently dx with bipolar 2

I just started a new job as a supervisor for long time care facility. It’s not bad job i understand I would be working 12s when someone doesn’t show and I’m used to it. I started Wednesday last week and I have worked 80 hours.

I woke up at 4am vomiting and in a sweat. I called off today I scheduled myself from 11-7. I can’t do it. My bf just helped me realize I worked 80 hours in 6 days.

My brain is mush and I keep having random crying spells and then I’ll have energy, then crying all within the same day for the last three days.

I’m regretting taking this job. I need to take my state exam so I can have more stable hours.

Last year I failed it twice one by 3 points second by 2. It threw me in a depression ep I considered dying. This has motivated me to get back studying

I tried to vent to my mom but all she said is I need to stop turning away from stuff when it gets hard. Funny for her to say bitch hasn’t worked for the 25 yrs I been alive I been taking care of her financially since 18 :/

Now it’s making me feel worse. I’m just tired

I realize today that I am bipolar

I started a new job a week ago. I’ve been asking everyone how I’ve been doing and everybody has been saying I’ve been doing great. Even the director.

For some reason, I realize I was going to stay later today. And I was already feeling like shit this morning. I started crying in the car.

Then by 3:30 I was full of energy

So exhausting

Am I being delusional right now?

I was recently diagnosed with bipolar two disorder. I knew something has been wrong with me as a child. Believe the government was watching me and someone put cameras in the house. I still feel that way sometimes today.

but I never will have suspected this. Which is strange when you grow up with a emotionally distant father and mentally unwell mother that parentfied you :/

Now I was a big conspiracy theorist growing up because I spent most of my time alone. I’ve been dealing with mental health for the past seven years and just now finally getting help.

I doubt my diagnosis, even though it’s true. I feel like the government has given me these mental illnesses because nothing has seem to help. I know this is irrational. but I feel like it’s partly true especially with the AI and the Instagram reels no telling what subliminal messages is being sent through. Also buying a weed from dispensary is probably fully government control.

Or maybe god is punishing me. When I was a Christian I felt the same. I no longer am a Christian. I used to cry out to God as a child and never got any help so I guess he never loved me.

😭 I’m gonna pick up lamictal today I missed my dose last night I took painkillers and couple hits of the lettuce so I probably just threw myself into psychosis

I’m watching anime Mashle rn so I’m chilling

They asked me when I could start and I said this Tuesday that’s coming up and they said they were hoping I could start sooner. But I got a text that my boyfriend got hospitalized right during orientation because he fractured his T11 vertebrae.

I told the director this and he said he understood family issues. But I’m scared this isn’t gonna look good.

My mother believes in a 30 year delusion

My mom has not worked since I was born and I just turned 25 two months ago.

She claimed that she heard the voice of God tell her not to work. And that she will be a millionaire.

This has obviously not happened. And we were homeless at one point.

I also believe this delusion and developed religious OCD

I have been diagnosed with bipolar two disorder. She is not good for my mental health because I also find myself falling back into those delusions, even though I know it’s not true. I have lived up under her for 25 years and homeschooled from 5-18. It’s hard to break the tie.

Her only source of income is me and my sister when we give her money. I mostly take care of her because she lives with me and my dad. My parents are currently divorced, but he allows her to stay because I’m there.

I don’t want her to live with me because I don’t believe I will get well mentally. I need to move out this house because my dad isn’t great either.

I’m scared because I’m not sure what mental disorder my mother has that she still believes this. She hears God still until this day and says she see things on people that nobody else can see.

This is made me fear her because I believe that she could see every secret that I had. But now I know this is bullshit because I lied to her almost every day and she doesn’t call me out. She’ll claim that she knew something if I give her hints to it otherwise she doesn’t know shit.

I literally been in a whole ass relationship for a year. God ain’t showing her that lmfao

Please help me
