Living life on autopilot. Apathetic and empty
Recently moved to a new city with my wonderful boyfriend. Thought this would help my depression but of course, it didn’t. The empty feeling is still there. I observe other people and life around me and feel so disconnected. Nothing excites me. I feel doomed and destined to die by my own hand. Not today, not tomorrow, ...

Ive gotten really stressed recently, and have been taking it out on other people.

I don’t want to have to work and am considering suicide
I cannot think of anything worse than spending the rest of my days working. What’s it all for anyway? I’m just going to die regardless and I don’t see the point in spending the rest of my days miserable, working in a job I will undoubtedly hate when I could just end it all now. It all amounts to the same anyway.

Please make it stop
Depression and anxiety are a buzzkill at best. Torturous when it peaks. Objectively I know I didn’t do anything wrong. But that doesn’t stop my mind from taking things out of context, putting a disastrous spin on it and making me fear the worst outcome imaginable. Like a penny I accidentally dropped on the sidewalk wil...

How do I deal with feeling of vunerability and shyness about my genitals?
Im very shy, nervous and insecure about people seeing me with my foreskin retracted. Nurses or Doctors, sexual partners etc. No human, other than two Doctors have ever seen me with my foreskin fully retracted. Not even my ex fiancee, no sexual partner before or scince either. No one apart from those two Doctors...

I feel like no one if my life understands or feels comfortable enough to talk to me about what happened. Since my moms situation, I’ve dealt with the death of my grandmother, my aunt, got kick...

Nothings working anymore
Whenever I start to have urges to kill myself or cut I always masturbate. As of today it’s not affective anymore, and I’m devastated. It used to bring me joy, it may have been fleeting, but it was still joy. It just makes the urges worse now, almost every time I’ve masturbated in the past week I’ve ended up crying afte...
