Feeling Incompetent and Overwhelmed

i feel this way a lot of the time. there’s a lot of shame and guilt around my inability to complete “simple” tasks like keeping up on laundry or showering or even getting dressed every day. it’s hard. but every day is different. sometimes i find joy in the menial task of folding my socks. sometimes a shower is what i need for a mental reset. some days are bad. but not all of them. ❤️

Try ordering groceries online! That helps me a lot, grocery stores can be really overstimulating

Definitely. When I hate the way I look, I force myself to stop looking in the mirror! I pretend I'm beautiful no matter what. Sometimes I hide behind a mask. But everything you are feeling IS NORMAL! If you have a safe area to do so, break something and scream! Get that frustration out! Sometimes I scream in the car till my throat hurts.

I've had a ton of those obstacles but wake up keep going fall get back up repeat until you learn how to stand

Sending hugs,take a deep breath. You can always order your groceries to be delivered . You are beautiful/handsome. Please don’t let anything or anyone stop you from enjoying your life.

Yeah, i get that. I struggle with my looks and feeling like people's gazes penetrate me. And i struggle when i realize im taking way longer at college than most people. Some days are just harder than others. Be soft with yourself. Its a process to come to terms that youre on a different journey than most. Hopefully you can make it through the hard periods, find people who are alike you, and be well.

Yes 💯 spent two years struggling like this then I found an amazing therapist. I learned it’s okay to do things differently. There are days I am physically unable to walk the grocery store so I use the Walmart pickup where they shop for me and put it in my car. If I’m unable to even drive to the store I order delivery and there’s nothing wrong with that. Listen to your body and your instincts and do what is best for you not what is considered normal.

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I’ve been there, and it sucks.
