I want to ask for help.
BUT I CAN'T!
I have these symptoms. But when I need to ask for help, I can't. I am just a mere student, unemployed and alone. I say alone because of many reasons.
The first one being my family. If I show them this video, they'll respond with, it's all in your head and they'll say I've dealt worse than you.
What I wish I had the courage to ask is,
Do you think I'm like you?
I AM NOT LIKE YOU! AND I NEVER WILL BE!
People who say those sentence seem to have no clue as to how to differentiate experiences between 2 people. Just stop saying that you know and have experienced what the other person has experienced because YOU ARE NOT THEM!
Secondly, all my friends are busy, so of course, I can't bother them with these existential problems with them every time. And when I do, they gave a response by telling me solutions to do them. Many of which, those solutions require money. Which I have none. And other solutions. If I had the mood to do it, I would but I can't force myself to follow through those free solutions because, when I'm not in the right mind or not in a good mood, those solutions will only hurt me more than help me.
I want to live a normal life like everyone else. I want to accept the unexpected things that happen in life without worrying that I'll stay on the ground after I fall.
But there is no hand that comes to pick me up once I do, so I had no choice but to weakly lift myself up with only 2 threads that hangs on my two arms to hoist me up and keep moving.
The religion thread which is uncared, worn and spliced. It can break almost any day by now. And then the stories thread which is cared for too much to the point, it's becoming impractical to be used to hoist me up any longer.
For someone who's life is like me, I have no one to rely on but myself. Do everything by myself, for myself. And yet people still question why I do things to take care of myself.
I could ask in betterhelp app if I can't go out and meet a professional help, but again, I'm a mere student who is unemployed. There's no way I can pay the subscription for it.
In the end. I AM ALONE.

I was lucky enough to be born into a family where we are genetically inclined to have poorer mental health. We are neurodiverse for lack of a better word and lack of access to properly trained psychologists who would be able to diagnose and treat us. All of my siblings, myself included are unemployed. Please believe me when I say I want to work, because I do. I am experiencing significant anxiety as a result of a work culture that places productivity and profits before the mental and physical health of their workers. If I were to seek meaningful employment, my employer would have to give me extra training and accommodations at my workplace. But as an employer, you would choose the person who is a better fit for the job; a person who is capable in mind and body (or one who can wear a mask portraying that they are this. I do not have the energy to pretend to be the best version of myself and neither can my siblings. We cannot afford proper psychological help and it is getting to the point where we won't be able to afford to live.
The real shocker here is that this is normal. All of my employed friends are experiencing the progressive breakdown of their mental health. Suicidal ideation is the norm. Poor mental health is the norm. Medication will not cure my neurodiversity and society will shun me for being lazy. How do I arm myself for this battle when the battle itself is exhausting, demotivating and traumatizing? Why is this experience so normal, yet so easy to ignore?
Just do it, they say.
I have been doing it. It's exhausting. And it is hard to be aware of the work being done when we don't see it. We were not all made equally for this battle and the battle favors those with. better stats if you will.
If you've made it to the end of this comment, thank you. This is a reminder to be kind to yourself. I feel like an absolute burden, so I know it's easier said than done. This is also a reminder to be kind to others who set up boundaries to protect themselves. Laziness is not the antithesis to productivity. In reality, it may be someone taking much needed rest.

Idk if this is serious or nothing to worry about(and sorry for just sharing stuff lol)
But I do have a problem forgetting things, like sometimes my mom asks me to make her some tea or refill water bottles but I forget to do them in mins and its not just once but several times, it also happens when I use something and put them in a specific place but forget quickly where I put them. My mom says its cuz I am on the phone but I am a lil worried it might be a serious issue as how I forget things fast. I also sometimes have a hard time concentrating on things such as school work where I have yo read stuff to get the answer I sometimes get a feeling of frustration and I feel like I can't continue with the work, this doesn't effect me hard tho as the forgetting things. I sometimes have weird mood swings where I am just gulped with sad thoughts and feeling sad, sometimes it lasts minutes or sometimes an hour until I feel better (usually I sleep it off) and in the period of time feeling that way I just want to be isolated and usually just want to close people off. I then get thoughts of nobody really loves me, I am an annoyance to there or that I am destined to fail in the future.
Are these serious things or maybe just a fase I go through as a teen?

I thought i was just being overdramatic for almost a month now, but i have 4 of 7 right now and have been suicidal at one point. i hope since im not thinking of that too much anymore means it's getting better, but honestly just the fact that i constantly feel kinda bad and keep saying to myself what is happening or i dont know what is happenning to me and i need to figure this out makes me think that i do have some sort of problem.
but i have NO idea what it is.
If you guys can help me about it i got:
almost all the causes/symptoms from underperforming at work/school
loss of desire for activities
derealization) (sometimes i just look at my hand and it kinda just. dissapears for a minute/ turns black or white
magical (and not so magical) thinking
Is this a dangerous combination?

1 Recent social withdrawal and loss of interest in others? Was never there. So yes.
(That sounds like it could be schizoid PD) Depression
2 An unusual drop in functioning especially at school or work? Yes. Woah, I didn't think that had an effect.
3 Problems with concentration, memory, or logical thoughts and speech? Woah, yes.
4 Loss of initiative or desire to participate in any activity? Yes.
5 A vague feeling of being disconnected from one's self or one's surroundings.
A sense of unreality? Yes. Either it's depersonalization, derealization, or dissociation.
Fleeting moments of depersonalization, and sometimes dissociation. Yes.
6 Unusual or exaggerated beliefs about personal power or magical thinking? No.
7 Rapid or dramatic shift in feelings or mood swing? Not sure.

Probably nobody cares however i have all of those since pandemic except magical thinking. Should i be worried about. schizophrenia? Because i was suspecting something like this since i started to see vivid hallucinations while staring into void in night-time or having anger breakdowns(which i barely remember after it happens.
However i'm afraid of telling this to anyone since i may end up in a mental hospital.

I dont find it shocking anymore when I see many mental illnesses that relate to me I just accept the fact that Im not ok and that I cant get help because I cant afford it so I just vent to my friends because they might also suffer like I do ( Im in 6th grade and I stared feeling this since I was 5 years old because of childhood trauma)

I have all of these. Especially #5. Everytime I try expressing these feelings to my parents, my mom always gaslights them and says I dont have any problems and that Im smart. And my dad always says that even if I do, I should not go to therapy because the meds screw you up. So I dont rlly know what to do lol

Is it mental illness or conscious ascension? Personally I don't believe that mental illness actually exists. I thinks it's all just a scam to hold us back from our true natural power. Think real hard before popping those pills. Try meditation instead of medication. You might be glad you did

I'm sick of this current generation self diagnosing a mental illness that isn't there all for the purpose of seeking attention(TikTok attention seekers). It's an insult to those who truly suffer on a daily basis. I have suffered for 40+ years with my mental health

My magical thinking is that the red light allways turns green when I try to take a bite form my sandwich or blow my nose, I never get a chance to do it because that pesky red light that is allways there for me, will turn green the moment I lose interest in traffic

I've quite often felt disconnected, as if I was in 3rd person. Ive always called it going on autopilot because I do things, but don't feel like I'm the one doing them, like walking somewhere or doing a menial task, or sometimes just sitting down.
