I can really feel how much it’s been weighing on you. It’s not easy to admit when something’s messing with our head, so I really admire you for opening up. I truly understand how heavy this must feel for you. It sounds like you’re caught in a cycle of comparing yourself to others—especially on social media—and it’s creating a lot of pressure and anxiety. On top of that, with your heart health, your studies, and your family being strict, it makes total sense that you're feeling drained and overwhelmed. But here’s the thing: social media shows only a small, polished part of people’s lives. Just because someone looks like they have freedom or confidence doesn’t mean they’re truly happy or without struggles. You, on the other hand, are trying to stay true to yourself while feeling pulled in different directions—and that’s incredibly brave. you don’t have to live like this. Social media is literally built to make us feel like we’re not enough unless we look a certain way or act a certain way. But it’s fake perfection. People post their best angles, best moments—not real life. And you? You’re already enough. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. You mentioned doing things like buying clothes or planning outfits not because you want to, but because you feel pressured to match someone else. That’s a sign your mind is trying to get relief by fitting in—but the real peace comes from letting go of comparisons and asking: What do I truly want? What makes me feel good—not just look good? I know you just want to be happy and free from this anxiety, and you can be. It might not happen overnight, but little by little, it gets easier when you start choosing yourself instead of trying to be someone else. Some little things that might help: 1. Limit time on social media for a while. Even one week away can clear your head. 2. Write down what YOU enjoy wearing, doing, or creating without anyone else's influence. 3. Remember, you don’t have to be anyone else to be loved, successful, or confident.

You said, "I really don't want to do it." You answered your question. Don't. Why do something you don't want to do. I completely understand there's pressure to fit in and to do certain things, but it's not good for you. It's not good to go against what you want, value, or are ok with. You need to start making it a habit to do the things you want. Not the things you feel pressured to do. That's hard. But you can do it.

in need of help

I don’t know what I can do. I guess this is more of a depression thing than OCD but who knows. I have been battling this ongoing war within myself for years now and it’s been affecting my academic performance. situation of mine right now: I haven’t done a lot of work for my classes this month and I feel like I’m going to fail the semester again. I don’t know what it is but I can never seem to begin any work. I know I am capable but why can’t I get myself to start? why has this been going on for so long? I don’t understand. I have a history of good grades back in high school before I turned 17. I don’t even know how to describe it. it’s like I’ve been paralyzed and cannot do any work. but I can somehow do offside tasks like pinterest boards or random youtube videos. if I get rid of those, what do I do? I end up sleeping. because I’m tired. I have a low vitamin D deficiency & have been trying to get energy. I’m at a loss. I also bought unnecessary stuff on sunday when I went out with my family. I bought some things for the kids and I ended up buying myself a dress and a few accessories. now I have to work extra to gain that money back doing uber eats because I need it asap. it’s like I don’t want to work, for now. my coworkers who are around my age don’t work as much & I think to myself, “wow, they must be getting in the work done” meanwhile I’m working 3 days a week (which isn’t much) and attending school. I feel like if I change my schedule again, I’ll ruin it for the rest of my driver coworkers. I’m in a lead position at work so having to put on a mask is quite tiring. there’s so much I want to say that I don’t think it will fit in this post. I have booked a mental health session with a school counselor. all I want at the moment is to have my own place and be in a better mental state to take care of my cats. they mean a lot to me but this stupid ass undiagnosed mental issue is getting in the way. sorry for the long rant. I am tired.
