I am a student and I am at the absolute lowest point of my life right now. I have zero money for professional therapy, so I am asking you guys for some real advice on how to fight this alone and fix my life for good.

I have completely shut down. I wake up every single day and immediately grab my phone. I spend the entire day laying in bed, scrolling endlessly. I haven’t taken a bath or showered in 10 days. I barely cook. My clothes have been sitting in a water bucket for 7 days because I don’t have the energy to wash them. I am doing absolutely nothing for basic daily survival.

It's not even that my workload is an impossible mountain right now—it's that my brain is simply not braining at all. I am completely paralyzed. I keep lying to myself, thinking, "I will do it properly later," but "later" never comes. I also have a severe porn addiction , which just leaves me feeling more drained and full of self-hatred.

This has destroyed my self-esteem and confidence. I feel like I am completely "not enough.", I have become incredibly insecure. A few days ago, this insecurity caused me to get suspicious of my girlfriend. She found out and cried like a child for 20 minutes. Seeing how much my insecurity hurt her broke my heart. I am terrified that my mental state is going to ruin my relationship and my future.

A week ago, I had some discipline, but then the system completely crashed. I am tired of this cycle where I am good for a few days and then ruin everything.

If you have ever been in a deep freeze state like this and managed to pull yourself out, please help me.

I really need help

I badly need help please 🥺

I’m in a tight group of 4 friends. We always debate politics. Three of us are secular and one is a right-wing supporter. The other two friends always get my perspective, but yesterday, one friend snapped and attacked my character out of nowhere.

He told me I'm a fake secular person who is just pretending, and that I defend my religion 99% of the time and defame others. It’s entirely false. I’ve never done that, and I've spent years trying to be a genuinely fair, secular person.

The real issue is retaliation. A few days ago, we had a bad argument because he generalized every woman in a relationship, saying they always leave or cheat. He’s bitter because his ex-crush/situationship was a whore. She had multiple partners at the same time, used him for studies, and dumped him. We warned him back then but he didn't listen. I called him out on his bitterness and told him just because his ex-crush was a whore, it doesn’t mean every woman is the same.

Because I said those harsh words and hit a sore spot, he wanted to hurt me back. He waited for a political debate to launch a complete lie against my integrity.

I went completely silent and haven't spoken to the group since.

Hey everyone,

I literally just learned about lucid dreaming today, and I think I might have accidentally had one during an afternoon nap. I wanted to share what happened and see if this counts as a true lucid dream, because it didn't feel exactly like the "total control/superpowers" stuff you see online.

The Background:

I spent the morning reading and thinking a lot about lucid dreaming for the first time. I had breakfast, stayed awake for about 2 hours, and then started feeling super sleepy, so I went back to bed for a 1-hour nap.

The Dream:

In the dream, I was walking down a road and saw a female friend of mine completely naked. My brain instantly flagged it as a glitch and I thought, "Wait, why is she naked? Oh, this is a dream!"

The weird thing is, I didn't do a classic reality check like looking at my hands or pinching my nose. I just used pure logic based on the situation.

Right after I realized it was a dream, I walked up to her and asked why she didn't have her pants on. The dream immediately tried to trick me—her outfit suddenly shifted, and she gave me some weird excuse like, "I threw them away because I was playing." Because my awareness was still fresh, I believed her excuse, lost my lucidity, and slipped right back into the regular dream plot. Shortly after, as I was crossing the road, I felt a slight pain in my back and woke up.

My Questions:

Does this count as a 100% true lucid dream even though I only had awareness for a few moments and didn't have crazy control over the environment?
