Hi everyone! I am severely depressed lately and even taking a shower feels difficult. I thought how cool it would be to have an app which can sort of motivate people like me. So here are my main points

1. You earn points by completing daily tasks

2. There is a timer - maybe pomodoro or just a normal timer which you can turn on while completing the task.

3. It would be great if the app offers you to make a profile similar to social media where you can connect not only with your contacts but with other people too and message them. That way you can make friends too.

4. The feed of the certain user may offer the option to add a photo - for example "i exercised today" - and a progress photo and also add text and let others comment.

5. Maybe you can have notes within the app or add goals.

Please let me know if anyone decides to make it.

Schizophrenic, 31. I always wake up covered in sweat and having racing thoughts. After I get up I feel extremely angry, to the point where I feel like shouting and Im irritable. This continues until 1 pm maybe and then I gradually calm down.

Could there be an underlying physical issue?

31 female, having pcos. Ive noticed how I really struggle with motivation and willpower to the point where losing weight feels impossible. I often binge and cant avoid eating carbs. I feel the only thing which can motivate me would be another competitive person, a deadline which i dont really have or being under some form or pressure.

Do you have any tips for me?

All types of positive calming talk like "you can always lose weight" sounds to me like I will never lose it.

Schizophrenic here. Ive noticed that my anxiety has always been so bad, I no longer can maintain proper eye contact. If something happens during the day, I cant even explain it using the right words even to my family. Sometimes I even make abnormal gestures because im hyperaware and anxious.

Do you think I can try to talk to chat gpt and practice? Is it worth the effort?

31 female, I have oily hair with dry ends. Since the weather is so hot these days I always wear my hair in a tight ponytail when going outside. Yesterday I went to the hairdresser and cut all my split ends which reduced my hair length quite a lot. I want to know what is the best way to prevent split ends in general because I feel I can never grow my hair past my shoulder.

1. Ive decided I need to stop wearing tight ponytails because they also hurt my scalp and cause a receding hairline. Are there any alternative hairstyles I can use during the hot summer days?

2. Do you think I can use a flat iron all the time if I use heat protection, or maybe just stick to blow drying with a flat brush?

I hope after this haircut I will succeed to grow my hair past my shoulder this time.

31 female here, no job and no friends currently. I am looking for a friend, could be long term, who is friendly and can talk about anything. I prefer to talk on insta because most people on reddit ghost me after a few hours or suggest apps like discord which i never use.

I love upon my pets - I have 3 dogs and a few cats and I love all animals in general. I am a schizophrenic so mental health and self help content is my favourite and I enjoy watching healthygamergg, mel robbins etc. I am a great listener. I am currently on a weight loss journey.

DM me your insta! Lets be friends.

31 years old female, having schizophrenia. I live with my family. I literally have no friends and I also never had a job before besides a few gigs I did online. I have just a high school degree because I couldnt graduate university.

Im gonna be honest with you - I am not okay at all. Recently Ive been waking up crying and I cant even control myself. I feel scared because Im all alone and no one cares about me. I dont know if I will succeed to have a job and go there every day without crying for mom and dad. But the truth is I may not have another choice. I need to make money in order to survive. I think about getting older and I feel so paranoid I will not even be capable to retire and receive money after I havent worked enough. The worst part is I am struggling so much mentally I cant even describe it.

So anyways the questions I have:

1. What type of job can i do online? I did a few web designs some time ago, but is web design still a good job to do in 2026? Or maybe its difficult to find customers....

2. Do you think it would be possible to find a real life job as a foreigner in the US or the UK with no degree? I am not talking about tech but maybe something more simple like a job in a store.

I feel so lost and desperate I have no idea what to do. I need a shoulder to cry on.

I have reached 88 kgs and have trouble with emotional eating. Ive been trying to lose weight but its soo difficult and I cant even control myself around food. I need someone whom I can send daily photos of my scale to share my progress. I am a good friend so you can surely do the same. Please let me know via dm. Also, I can chat on ig or messenger.

Thanks

Today I was at the beach and just as I sat on the sand I decided to unlock my phone. The screen was totally dark and the phone didnt work at all. I tried restarting it and then got the samsung logo but once it reached to the home screen, it turned black again. I did the same restart 5 times and the screen kept on being black.

I started thinking maybe this is it. Maybe my phone is somehow broken and I will need to bring it to repair service. Once I got back home after 3 hours, I tapped on my screen and the phone suddenly started working and it asked me for my sim card pin. So Im now posting this from the same phone.

How is this even possible?

I have these sudden intrusive scenarios happening inside my mind. Usually I imagine how different people intrude in my apartment and bully me. While the thought is happening I begin to shout at them out loud oftentimes without realizing it. Then after 3 min I pause and suddenly realize I was shouting and need to stop. The scenarios are always related to some form of abuse towards me. They worsen when I try to focus on something or do something physical like cleaning and I feel I cant control myself from lashing out.

Are these considered internal hallucinations or intrusive thoughts?

I had a dream there was a girl standing besides me somewhere. She ran her fingers through my hair 3 different times and then touched an egg. Then we left the egg there and we moved away from it very fast. In the second part of the dream I was outside our home and I saw a weasel in the garden.

Can you please help me decipher this?

The whole egg thing felt like a cleanse.

I have a diagnosis of schizophrenia for the last 15 years. I had a single psychotic episode when I was a teen and then I slowly recovered. However, I feel there are certain symptoms which make me question whats wrong with me and I will list them here:

- intrusive thoughts in the form of images and scenarios every single time when i do something physical - walking fast, cleaning my room, washing the dishes etc - I usually begin to shout without even realizing it at first

- waking up feeling extremely nervous in the morning, with a racing heart, sweats and dark thoughts about the future; catastrophic scenarios

- crying spells about possible future scenarios which I have difficulty stopping - "no one likes me, I will die alone"

- constant racing thoughts about people from the past or what if scenarios

- severe anxiety when talking to people, lack of proper eye contact, hyperawareness of what I say

- brain fog, derealization - happens often

Could this be some form of anxiety disorder or ocd? Is there any way for me to figure it out on my own? I am hesitating between an anxiety disorder or stress response related to past trauma but I cant be sure.

This has been going on for at least 6 years now. There is someone who allegedly gained access to all my google play accounts even after Ive done a factory reset and changed my email. What usually happens is I see an app connected to my google play but the app has no actual name, its just a generic icon with a name similar to project-47736478381 - just a random sequence of numbers.

Apparently he has my phone number too because I get messages on viber from strange phone numbers and I even got one today but then blocked and reported as usually.

The worst part is I dont think its just my phone. I have a wifi at home and I feel this person could somehow get access to my other devices as well, including my pc. I dont know if this is still happening though. I asked gemini what I can do and it told me to disable all incoming connections / network discovery. I dont know if this helped, but I hope so.

I cant relax and post in the way I want any more. I am always trying to guess if he is going to see what I post or not. I constantly need to check my google play account and my app drawer just to make sure all is fine. He seems to be very sneaky because the messages and all happen at random times, sometimes even after months of silence.

Nobody knows about this and Im fed up. I have no one to talk to because if I say it, they will get pissed at me and blame for it. (I live with my family) I feel so sad and lost.

Is there anything I can do? My google play has 2FA but he manages to get through that, which is a mystery to me. I am no advanced hacker.

Female schizophrenic here. I always see different prayer videos on tiktok and decided to watch one about nervous system deliverance.

Day 1 - I was being outside watching the video in the car and after a few moments I saw a snake quickly passing nearby. On the road back home I saw an owl on a window sill.

Day 2 - some problem with internet connection left the whole town without internet and it still hasnt fixed as I am typing this.

Day 3 (last night) - dreams about sexual perversion, orgies and s**.

I feel bothered. What do you recommend?

Ive had this illness for 15 years. Currently also trying to fast.

Ive had schizophrenia for 15 years now and even though its gotten better, i cant stand the visual hallucinations in my head. Ive noticed that every single time I decide to do something as simple as cleaning or washing the dishes, I begin to get nervous and there is an intrusive mental image popping up. Feels like a intrusive thought to which Im replying to.

So lets say I will just brush my hair and then suddenly start lashing out at the person "who just told me" im ugly as fuck. The problem is that it happens involuntary most of the time. I cant stop myself from replying out loud which is the biggest problem for me. Sometimes I shout at them and realize it 3 minutes later.

The voices usually belong to bullies or people I felt scared of or hated. Its like a never ending cycle of intrusive images, each time when I do something. Feels like I cant even get myself to relax because they want to destroy me. Maybe a result of complex trauma.
