Topic: I think I'm going through an existential crisis ?
Anonymous A started this discussion 8 years ago#73,007
So, my entire life, I’ve been taking care of everyone, and I feel like the life I’m living is a product of that. Took care of my siblings so my mom and dad could be absent and do what they want.
I don’t even know what I’d rather be doing because I wasn’t able to foster any interests or passions as a kid. I just know I didn’t choose any of this and i feel stuck. My entire life, I’ve been a platform to support others to their success. My sister has a good life and career, my mom can do what she wants, my grandma can live in her own apartment instead of assisted living (I’m her neighbor. She wouldn’t survive on her own without help nearby).
I’m so sick of taking care of everyone. I can’t even run away because everyone needs me so they can do their bullshit. I just wish I had some kind of interest or passion. Sorry for venting. I’ve been talking to a therapist and I’m also bipolar so I feel like it’s just bandages. Like, “here slave, take these meds, chat with the doctor, now get back to taking care of everyone” What a pathetic existence. Ideas advice, thoughts, anything welcome.

Do you have no passions or interests? You simply must take some time for yourself and try new things. Once you develop an interest, see about making a career out of it,.

Pinch yourself. If you feel it then you exist.

@previous (A)
Be careful of spending to much time on the net. Make a list of things you might like to try and find others where you live to spend time with.

I'm in a very vulnerable state right now... I'm struggling with my relationship. My work is in a major transition. I can't seem to keep myself together for more than eight hours. I really would like to just let go and vent. I need someone to listen to my irrational need for order, chaos, attention, and isolation. I'm hoping that I can find someone here. Shoving down my feelings has left me full of dissatisfaction.

Getting drunk and shitposting is like a whole new kind of therapy. It's very cathartic. Here on Minichan we pride ourselves on being on the forefront of new and innovative ways to share your feelings with the world. Angry? Depressed? Unsure of yourself? Try shitposting on Minichan. It's like screaming into the void as a cruel and uncaring universe stares back at you unimpressed! It really helps you center yourself on your own little slice of nothing.

You need a new therapist
Sometimes it takes going through a few but it's worth it to find one you really click with
I'm sorry you're having such a rough time bud, good luck
