What's Bothering You?

I just want to be seen as older. I’m almost 26 and I look like I’m 15 because I present masculine. I guess that’s a good thing because it means people most likely see me as a guy, but it’s very rare that a guy in their 20s doesn’t have some type of facial hair. I absolutely hate being seen as a child. I’d rather be seen as a 15 year old boy than a 20 some year old girl, but it still sucks. When I try to do age restricted things like the lottery nobody takes me seriously (that means I don’t even look 18 which is even more sad).

I hate that it’d be easier to just become feminine and maybe I wouldn’t look so young, but that’s not what I want. But looking like I’m 15 isn’t what I want either. Why can’t I have at least some facial hair so people take me seriously? When I post a picture with my age I always have someone calling me out saying I’m lying (not here, but on Facebook before I left).

I wish there was some way to look older but there’s nothing I can do about it at the moment. The only thing I have going for me is that I talk and vocally present myself as someone not age fifteen, like I’m more mature.

you know my DMs are open love 💕



I woke up at 4am and ended up being awake for well over an hour because I guess a thought I had yesterday was really bothering me. tried so many ways to help me fall asleep, and what ended up doing it was an hour later when I started journaling my thoughts. I wrote like three paragraphs and then drifted back to sleep, thankfully. I've never had that happen before though, having to journal in order to go back to sleep. I guess I know for future reference, but it still sucks that I basically lost an hour of sleep because of that.

also feeling weird because I've always been kinda awkward about physical touch from anyone, and yet I wish I had one of my friends here with me so I could curl up to them with a blanket over us. I am totally touch starved. it's a very lonely and sad feeling. 😞
 
I received a jury duty summons and found out my mother's sick, possibly with COVID but uncertain as of this writing.

Hell of a morning.
 
I wish I could feel sad sometimes, I never get to feel sad, only angry. I'm really angry tonight, I should be sad, because its a sad thing that's happened, but instead it's made me angry. I'd rather just feel sad, I can't ever get there anymore.
 
so overwhelmed. gonna be another awful day I'm sure, I have so much to mull over :,,,,,)

edit: well... I guess I'll try to make the best of it. maybe instead of continuing to mull things over and potentially exacerbate problems that really aren't a big deal, I could be gentle to myself and remember that I am incredibly stressed, and I may not be in a good frame of mind to tackle these issues right now. it's really hard to put them on the back burner for the time being because I feel like I need to get it sorted out right now... actually, I've been thinking that I need to have more patience. I'm not ignoring it, I'm just putting it off to the side for now so it can cool and I can come back to it when I'm ready. god, I struggle with patience so much.

might be a very personal question, but I still want to ask. does anyone else here struggle with bipolar 1 or 2? I don't really know anyone else who does (besides my mom, maybe) and it's been so difficult for me to try to cope with it when none of my friends deal with it themselves, and therefore can't fully understand. I know they're really, really trying their best though, and I appreciate them. 🥺


edit: also, is there a thread dedicated to mental health on here? I know there's an LGBT+ thread, and also the Autism/ADHD thread that I made, but if we don't have a thread specifically for discussing mental health/illnesses then I'd like to make one myself.

If your a seasonal employee why do you get Christmas week off, and all of the regular employees have to work that week.

How does that make sense. You tell the seasonal employees about holiday hours, but not the rest of us?? That's ridiculous.

The Mental Health Clinic

I feel like mental health especially nowadays isn’t taken seriously enough and people get left in the cold with no one to speak too. I’ve been there myself. I myself suffer with severe anxiety and have been on pills for god knows how long to control it. I’m creating this thread for people to...
www.belltreeforums.com

There's this one, but it's not as used which is a shame because I like the idea. I'd definitely use that one, or if you create one that's more in line with what you are thinking I'd be down as well.

I have BPD personally and it's similar to Bipolar, often confused with each other.
