For me, anxiety shows up as irritability. I get frustrated easily and don’t know why. Talking to a counselor helped me see it’s linked to anxiety.
Therapy can been challenging at times, but it’s helped me work through past experiences I hadn’t processed. I feel lighter and more at peace with myself now.
Having a friendly attitude goes a long way. I try to show interest in others by asking questions about them, which helps me learn more and establish connections.
I value friends who make an effort to spend time together, even if it’s just a short catch-up. It’s a reminder that they care, and it shows that we both prioritize the friendship.
I had a friend who would only hang out if I agreed to do what they wanted. I learned that true friends respect your choices, and I decided to cut ties when I saw that their behavior wasn’t changing.
It took time, but I’ve learned to trust my instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, I don’t do it. Real friends respect my decisions and don’t push me to be someone I’m not.
I make it a point to check in with friends regularly, even if it’s just a text. Staying connected, even in small ways, helps me feel supported without taking up too much time.
I used to obsess over flaws I saw in myself. Now, I set small goals for my health instead of my looks. When I focus on feeling good and being healthy, my self-image naturally improves.
Social media can make you feel like you’re never good enough. What’s helped me is setting boundaries and reminding myself that my value isn’t tied to my appearance. I focus on my interests and goals outside of social media.
I was in a situation where a friend started hanging out with a different group, and I felt abandoned. It hurt a lot, but I had to learn that it’s okay for friendships to evolve. We’re still friends, but we also made space for other people in our lives.
I used to feel insecure about my looks and my abilities, but over time I’ve learned to embrace who I am. I focus on the things that make me unique and remind myself that I don’t have to be perfect to be confident. Surrounding myself with positive people has helped, too.
I was advised to include volunteer work on my resume, especially if it relates to the job. Employers like to see that you’ve contributed to your community. In my cover letter, I highlight any internships or projects that have given me relevant experience.
I’m really into DIY crafts and upcycling old items. A few years ago, I started selling my creations at local fairs and online. It was slow at first, but as I shared my work on social media, people started buying. Now, it’s my main side hustle!
I’ve definitely felt burnt out from social media, especially when I try to keep up with everyone else’s achievements. It’s overwhelming, and I’ve started limiting my time on apps to protect my mental health. Does anyone else take social media breaks?
I’ve always doubted myself when it comes to making decisions. I constantly worry about whether I’m doing the right thing. But I’ve learned to trust my instincts more, even if it’s scary. How do you deal with the fear of making the wrong choice?
