ECT is one of the only gasps for air I have at feeling better in my experience here

Anyone feel similar?

I have two of the most underratedly ruthless conditions in the world: fear of not having access to a bathroom, and thirst induced anxiety.

ECT seems to be the only thing that’s going to fix this. I’m 8 sessions in and I have seen progress compared to September.

Want to get ECT, don’t want to deal with the boredom of inpatient

“But you can just do it outpatient”

My OCD wouldn’t any longer let me be in the car without doing my morning routine which consists of drinking water and eating food. I’m so stuck because I really think ECT is a way out of this. Might go inpatient again.

Anyone struggling bad with dating?

I recently irresponsibly decided to spend at or around $80 on dating apps, and still have never been on a date.

What do I do?

Wanna be my Valentine?

To preface, I’m also looking for platonic connections. Guys and women welcome for that.

I have spent a lot of money on dating apps in a short period of time, and have still never been on a date. I’d love to change that!

I’m a Manalapan (close to Freehold) boi who gambles responsibly and uses socials. I smoke cigars once a month, I go to Mass every Sunday, and my name is Giuseppe. I’ll attach a pic, thank you regardless!

Dropped $62 or so on a popular dating app, just for it to result in no dates

I’m quite upset about this. I expected it to be a whole different ball game. Turns out, it’s still no success. It’s unfortunate and I’m down about it.

My first mental health hospitalization was October of 2025. There, I was excited to get better. I planned on moving to a residential to stay there for at or around 1 month.

I ended up not lasting there due to anxiety. I am so devastated because I don’t have that “going to get better” optimism anymore. I don’t have that “if things go bad enough I can go to a mental hospital” mindset anymore. It’s brutal.

A white collar job specifically.

Also, it took me from I wanna say early Jan to March with nearly full availability to begin working. I’m talking part time in retail.

Currently, I am working a full time as a cleaner at a gym. Started part time, transitioned to full time. Is this an opportunity that is rare? (Disregarding the fact that my team is good)
