Until I read all these comments, I felt pretty much alone. Hello everybody!
It all started with two young women sharing funny memes on Instagram. Now, with a whopping 8.2 million followers, Lola Tash and Nicole Argiris can easily be called internet meme queens. Although the name of the account is about a therapist saying something, it is mostly about young folks sharing anxious thoughts and, well... being a bit of a mess.

Lola and Nicole told Cosmopolitan magazine that the account is “one of the fastest-growing aggregate Instagram accounts in history, climbing to 500,000 followers in its first six months and now surpassing 2 million since they started it in July 2015." The account is also one of the biggest meme places on the internet and has been run anonymously up until now.

This is why I was surprised to be diagnosed as depressed. Yes, I wanted to be in bed far too much, but I didn't feel miserable about it. I just enjoyed being in bed. The worst was simply dozing off and waking up six hours later and being like, "Dang, I just spent six hours in bed, and didn't get to enjoy ANY of it."

Don't overthink.

If you feel not ok but don't (be honest!!! To yourself about this!) want any help, write this in short and that you will answer if you feel like our see therapist on the date. But answer.

When you are young it's good to take on new jobs or tasks and broaden your horizons, don't worry about the money or what your co-workers think. The chances are you not going to stay at that job all your life. I Studied electronics PLC programming pneumatics at college. Worked as a Doorman/Bouncer to make easy money, ended up DJing, doing general maintenance for the clubs I worked at. Went on to do some managing clubs and learnt a lot about budgets, turnover targets. What's more I had access to accounting software, and office software like Louts and office. Unthinkable for someone like me in 1988. All that came together when I left that company (in very high regard) I got a job as a manager for a slot machine operator and from there to the job I have now. Technical/ Logistics Manager for the company I work for now. Every experience I picked up as I roll around and didn't get paid for came in very handy.

Speaking of constantly tired, women suffer sleep deprivation at higher rates than men. A lot of it's hormonal, but stress plays a huge role. And sleeping with another human doesn't help matters. I'm a firm believer in separate bedrooms. If that's too expensive, at least use separate blankets. Sleep is vital.

AnnarRachelle, so do I! Things were so much more in balance back then. Everything more fun. I thought it’s my age… but Yi look at todays teens and tweens: they are not half as enthusiastic about things than we were when we were young. Always stressed about competing and making sure not to miss out snapping a selfie. Insane!

The panicking usually takes a couple hour w before I can start figuring things out
Max Fox 2 years ago
That is a good way to deal with panic attacks. A person should give themselves "permission" ti panic, but have a set time. Like "OK, I'll first panic for 5 minutes, then start figuring it out". By panic, I mean, go all out. If you have some private space, scream for a couple of minutes. Just set a timer for 5 minutes, and then stop. It actually works. Your body works off some of it's excess adrenaline, and can now function. Panic mode is something that was for those first few minutes of danger - stop thinking and run, or freeze so you cannot be seen. Then the reasoning kicks in. So don't extend it by trying to suppress it - ride it out. Setting a timer will help you end it.
