I was thinking of the Amelia Jane one or Braggn beauty. They’re both around $1000 though it’s a lot of money and wondering if it would be worth the investment.
Has anyone taken these or others they recommend or don’t recommend?
I have this feeling that I am meant to move back to my hometown. It comes to me all the time. But I really really don’t want to move back home, it would be financially devastating to my job because I’d have to go back to school and build up a clientele again, plus I hate living in a boring place that is dreary and cold. The sun significantly impacts my wellbeing.
The only thing that would be nice is being by my family. I’m super depressed and not doing well, I don’t know if that’s where I’m meant to be to heal or whatever but I really really do not want to destroy myself financially but afraid of what will happen if I don’t follow this intuition I’ve had for years.
I’d love some inspiring stories where you followed your intuition even though it was extremely scary and would be horrible at first m, but maybe it somehow got better over time because it’s what was meant to happen to get to the good thing.
I am severely depressed and have debilitating ADD and have sought out several counselors over the years. I feel they always tell me things I already know. I read a lot and also analyze my emotions all the time. Like I know the root cause of why I don’t love myself. I know how the ADD brain works and little tricks to help with productivity like “setting just one small goal a day and building from there” or journaling, acceptance, exercising, breathwork, meditating, pretty much all the DBT skills out there I already know and I can’t force my self to do them or I find they’re barely helpful. Today my therapist told me “have you ever just tried not caring what people think about you?” When I was describing my struggles with social anxiety and feeling awkward and weird. If it were that easy to just tell yourself not to care, no one would need therapy.
I know they all mean well but this advice I’m getting and tips and tricks to manage symptoms are all things I’ve read on Reddit or Instagram accounts who teach about mental health. I honestly prefer my therapy sessions with chat GPT to any therapist I’ve tried.
Maybe I’m just a lost cause. Should I give up on finding a therapist who can actually help? Maybe I just need to somehow try harder and force myself to do all the things I already know are supposed to help and can’t seem to do on a regular basis. Maybe deep down I just enjoy being miserable and don’t want to help myself bad enough.
