Too content to change

[jacklopez]

A couple days ago I reached a sort of breaking point which was ultimately a good thing because it led to me finally asking for help and making plans to meet with someone about my problems. But that low, emotionally drained state I was in is something that only happens once in a while. For the most part, despite never having a real job or any social relationships, I'm usually content and even happy and when I'm happy I feel like I don't need to do anything. Like maybe I can ignore it, try to make money how and where I can, and continuing living with my parents for the foreseeable future. I'm already thinking up ways i can get out of this meeting I have and just go back to what I was doing before. If I make the decision I usually make then this will likely be my last post on this site. At least until the next breakdown.

I urge you too go to this appointment because for a long time I felt the same on and off so I too never got any help and In the end my problems just got worse because I never dealt with them properly and just tried too ignore them

That’s impressive! I’ve been regularly seeing a Psychiatrist for 30 years! I wouldn’t dare miss an appointment! I try to be vigilant about my mental health because I cannot afford to have a breakdown right now...I so despise being sick in any way. I would encourage you to make that appointment. At least see if it’s going to be helpful with an open mind. Having that open mind is so very important! Wishing you the best!!

Hi jacklopez, I can relate, 90% of the time I feel OK, sometimes even happy. Nonetheless sometimes I suddenly reach my emotional trigger and things are getting worse .. For me: I realised I dont want to live like this anymore. I know I NEED help. Im not sure what can I expect from therapy however, It worth a try. Its up to you. Ask yourself If this kind of life is enough for you. Look, Im also scared and confused yet I really dont want to let myself down this time. Dont give up so easily, you owe it to yourself.

Well, that is great that you have scheduled a meeting. I do not know how old you are, but please remember that your parents will not last forever. Who knows- maybe the meeting will be the beginning of you doing better for yourself- welcome to the site. You can always ask yourself- Is this working for me, and do I have a plan for the future?
