It is hard for me juggling mental health, daily life, planning your future, dealing with your education, money problems, stress and depression. The worst part about all this is I have to deal with this all on my own. I am 22 years old and I graduated 4 years ago. During those past 4 years, I have been pushing and struggling after graduation. I have been trying to do the best I can with what I have. But only to always see myself constantly making mistakes, and failing horribly. I am 22 years old and I am still stuck at my parents house struggling and suffering from mental health and life's cruelest ways. I feel ashamed and embarrassed to get my first at the age of 22.

I was 13! Working has always been extremely hard for me as I tend to leave jobs due to anxiety. My current job is the best so far but I still worry constantly.

At the beginning any kind of job can be good and mainly useful against ocd. Try to look for a job that it's suitable with your ocd. Don't care if you find a job that doesn't reflect your expectations. Important is that how you will feel. Good luck

Hey i want to tell you that my first job was at 16 but people are always going to fucking judge you, most of the people i know tell me that i was too old when i got my first job because they got it when they were 14 but that meand fucking nothing. You can have 5 years of experience on the job area but be a terrible worker or a terrible person to work with. Meaning that everyone’s meaving life at their own pace and rythm and you should find people that respect that. People that respect the fact that you have different difficulties when it comes to some specific things of life. AND THAT’S OK. Everyone has their shit, some people are lazy and that’s why they don’t get jobs or stick on them, som others find their passion until they are 50 years old or find the person they actually love until they’re 60..

I turn 17 in two days and I’ve been in a panic that I’ll still have attraction to 14 year olds, because I actually do not know if I do or not, I just can’t tell. I don’t know how I’m gonna tell. idk if I will or not, and it’s all super confusing to what I really want, it’s like “do you like 14 year olds at that age??” And I say no? But it feel like I’m also lying, and that I actually do? idk what to do? My brain keeps justifying it to be fine cuz it’s only three years but I really don’t like that, so I’m worrying that I will feel attracted

Also I read on tik tok or twitter that if u still feel connected to younger people that means you’re not progressing or maturing and that’s bad. I’m 25 and I’m at this odd stage in my life where I’m getting older but still feel like I’m 20-22. I feel like I’m behind people that are my age. I think it’s because I’m been bed rotting with severe depression for the past 4 years… but I’m scared this means I’m becoming a pedo in the future.

So you got to ask me anything… Now I’d like to ask you something! I’ve heard from Members that they were so scared coming to their first ERP session. They were terrified that I would think they were crazy, that I would tell them their worst fears were true. That I would confirm they are some form of a terrible person or have them hauled off to prison for their thoughts. I’ve also had Members share how they’re very scared to begin ERP treatment because they’ve researched enough to know it means facing the fear, without the compulsions that have kept them feeling safe (but not really safe) this entire time. They struggled to see how they could be capable of doing this, while simultaneously acknowledging that they did not want to live like this anymore. If you have had your first session, what were your thoughts before? Did you have any hesitations or fears going into it? How did it turn out? If you haven’t yet begun to work with an ERP specialist, what is holding you back?
