Curious if anyone else on days where it’s super stormy. Have you ever woken up and just felt off? It’s like you’re anxious but you just know something isn’t right internally. You also have a pressure near your eyes and tension spots in your body. Just curious if anyone else experiences this lol it’s a feeling that I’m just like a migraine is highly possible and I need to take it easy today.
What are some books from Fairyloot that you think are sought after? What are like those unicorn editions in your eyes? Just thought it might be a fun discussion. What edition are foaming at the mouth to get your hands on? I personally don’t have one at the moment. I can’t think of really any book I want super bad right now lol.
Does anyone else struggle with buying to look a certain way. Being easily influenced to buy things people you want to be like are buying? Curious if others struggle with this. What did you do to stop it? Did you find leaving social media to be a positive influence on your wellbeing mentally and financially?
Made a couple impulse purchases today since it was just a bad mental health day. Which isn’t an excuse but damn today was rough. Why is it when life feels out of control. You just want to spend frivolously :/
So I’ve struggled with money issues my entire life. I dealt with a lot of impulse issues growing up. Which it wasn’t until I was put on medication for my mental health. That I realized just how bad I was at trying to fill a void with items. Well I’ve officially cut myself off and am working on paying it down. However, I now feel like I’m trapped in this hole of sorts. All my cards are basically maxed out or close to it. Most of my cards have a $500 limit so not real high. Well I used to charge trips and items to make my life seem better. Well now that my cards are maxed out or cut off. I really feel trapped. There’s legit nothing to do. I can’t go anywhere, I can’t buy random items, and things like that. Which I know this probably feels silly. It legit just feels like I’m burying myself alive. I want to move out so bad but financially I screwed myself. Well I feel like I’m on a timeline in life and if I don’t achieve xyz by blank age. Well I’m a failure and just pathetic. So I’m quite literally just spiraling at the moment. I am on top of all my bills and payments. I actually have a really nice credit score. I just feel like I’m drowning with this debt on my shoulders. I’m trying to find a side gig to help since my full time job is barely cutting it. Which leads me to have to charge necessities after making a payment. I’m just really struggling and have no one to turn to about this. I really just want to prove everyone wrong or myself wrong. Since the doubt it 100% me but I feel like everyone I know that’s I’ll amount to nothing. Anyway thanks for letting me ramble and if others feel this. Glad to know I’m not alone in this journey.
I’ve noticed a trend where I feel like worthless the week before. I’m comparing myself to everyone on social media and friends in real life. I feel even more isolated and alone during this time. I’m crying to make my dream life happen but it never seems to workout for me. Meanwhile everyone I follow is achieving all these amazing things and having big achievements. It’s just exhausting feeling FOMO and just jealousy. It’s worse because this is so draining and lasts basically a whole week. Do others experience this particular emotion? It always makes me feel like a horrible person
Does anyone else find during ovulation they are just super irritable. I’m at work right and everything about this place irritates me so bad. Nothing is going right and of course it’s my long day. I didn’t put two and two together until just now that’s it’s my cycle. My cycle is what has me wanting to crawl out of my skin and scream in frustration. It’s also slow so the day is dragging lol
Unfortunately I made some financial mistakes when I was in my early 20’s. Which led to the debt I have now and lack of savings. I’m watching my friend prepare to move out of state. While also going on little trips weeks before the move. It’s hard not to be envious of people your age doing what you want. It’s definitely motivating me a lot. However, I hate the little green monster who can appear and make me feel less than. There’s only so much you can pay at a time. While working low paying jobs and dealing with bills on top of debt. It’s very depressing and feels like you can’t dig yourself out at times. I know it’s a process. I didn’t accept it all in one go. So I can’t expect to pay it off with a snap of a finger. I know I’m not alone feeling this way but dang it can be hard.
I’m realizing I know next to nothing about money and stuff. I’m currently paying off my debt and trying to move out. Curious if anyone has read any financial books that helped. Nothing super challenging but something with substance. lol I’m stressing over just how little I know and that I need to learn this stuff.
I have an associates and bachelors under my belt. Neither one opened any doors for me. I’m stuck in a retail job making $15 an hour. While drowning in debt and trying to pay bills. I hope to move out soon but not until I secure a better paying job. I’m willing to work my current one part time. I just want one that is more complex than a retail job and offers me more. My job doesn’t offer raises or bonuses of any kind. Sorry I did get a 23¢ raise last year. It’s just soul sucking and ruining my mental health. I also don’t live in a massive area so jobs are hard to find. Unless you’re a doctor, nurse, or lawyer no one wants to pay you much or anything. It’s just depressing when everyone you graduated with has careers and can afford basic life. I know you shouldn’t compare but damn sometimes it’s hard not too.
I want to find something I’m passionate for and want to work at. I feel like I can’t have that career and it’s so frustrating! Also I don’t know who to talk to about this. My school advisor was no help. My therapist was absolutely zero help with any advice or direction lol. My parents are stumped and don’t know what to say anymore.
