I turned 18 a couple months ago and I could always cope by saying “it’ll get better as an adult” and now I can’t even say that anymore. Fuck my life.

It’s been an isolated, difficult life :(

My life is the same thing every day because I’m too scared to try anything new and trigger a panic attack. I’m prescribed antipsychotics and Ativan and still nothing gets better. I can’t even get temporary relief because I know it will just come back. I’m only 18 and this is my life I hate it.

In my 18 years on this earth I’ve never once been in a non platonic relationship with someone and I know I never will because of my looks and mental illness. It hurts

I’m trying to get out of a bad home situation. I’m 18 and have enough saved to move out but not to go to college and I’d rather start working. I live in a low cost of living city and want to get a small apartment. Any help is appreciated

The title sums it up. Im 18 now and nothing in my life has changed, including this aspect. I’m not a great looking guy, but I’m not deformed or anything like that, and I’ve had a couple of women interested in me. I can’t form connections with anyone due to severe social anxiety, clinical depression, and what I suspect to be autism. It’s debilitating to live with. Is anyone else dealing with similar problems?

I’ve installed tails on my usb and wiped it multiple times trying to figure out the issue. I’ve flashed tails to the usb using Rufus and balenaetcher, but every time I get to the boot menu and select my usb drive, it displays a command prompt with “GNU GRUB” displayed at the top. I’m using a Lenovo LOQ laptop if it makes a difference. Has anyone help encountered this issue?

I can’t even cope anymore dude. I’ve exhausted all avenues.

Just turned 18, ugly, graduating soon with no plans for my life, and my hair I was trying to grow out is extremely damaged beyond repair. I’m just so done. There’s no one who can or even wants to help me. What do I even do

Hi, I’m 18 and graduating high school in about 4 months. I have just over 10 thousand dollars saved currently from working part time. I’m going to continue working until I move out and will likely make another ~2 thousand during this time. I’m looking into moving into a small apartment in a large city after living in a very small town my whole life.

I have a few options I’ve been considering pursuing after high school: going to college and finding a career in forensic science, joining an apprenticeship program like IBEW and becoming an electrician, or applying for a warehouse job in the bigger city and working there indefinitely. The last option is what I’m currently planning on doing since I have severe social anxiety, panic attacks and depression which would make a learning environment much harder, but I know I could still do it if I needed to. Money isn’t a big issue as my grandparents have offered to help fund college if I decided that’s the best option for me.

Is it feasible to live off of a low paying job such as working at a warehouse and living in a small apartment by myself permanently? I have no clue what to do and only 4 months to decide.

Hi, I have suffer from general anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic attacks and major depressive disorder. I have to move out soon as I’m graduating high school in 4 months. I’m assuming my parents will want me to go to college or do something but I’m really not sure what to do. I’m sure I will be bullied for my appearance and neurodivergence as I was in high school if I go that route.

I haven’t received treatment for my mental issues in about half a year because antidepressants and therapy weren’t making much of a difference. The psychiatrist I was seeing refused to give my medication for my severe anxiety and panic attacks such as a benzodiazepine. I’m not really sure where to go from here. I would be lying if I said I haven’t heavily considered suicide in the past few weeks. I just have this feeling of impending doom. I’m in desperate need of help, so any responses are appreciated.

Feels great being a neurodivergent, unattractive male! /s

Every day is pain and misery for me. On top of being extremely ugly, I’m also neurodivergent and have severe clinical depression and anxiety. I’ve tried every pill and therapist there is and I’m at my wits end. I turn 18 in a week. How do you guys do this?

Hi, I’ve been a daily washer for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been growing out my hair for about a year now. It’s a little past my shoulders, and recently I’ve been having trouble getting the back of my head thoroughly cleaned when shampooing. I wash right side up and tilt my head back so my hair hangs down and is lifted off my scalp. I scrub thoroughly and it always feels like I’m getting shampoo back there, but after I dry my hair and check the back of my head it’s still oily. I know it’s not an issue with overproduction of oil because the top and sides of my head get clean and stay oil-free until the next day.

If anyone has any suggestions I’d be very appreciative
