What is your main weakness?

What is your main weakness?

How do you try to overcome it?

 

[emily]

I'd say mine is not living for myself. Rather than thinking about what I want, I just do what others tell me to do. .

I suppose it partly comes from growing up in an abusive household. Decisionmaking and living for myself was never allowed

 

[PGen98]

Anxiety, depression. I defeat myself very easily because of it

 

[Nebulous]

Impulse control. Need to use more will power.

I'd say that my main weakness is trying to spread myself too thin. I need to work on telling people no rather than trying to do everything for everyone all the time.

Aww, well that says a lot about your character.

My mental health revolves around my whole life and takes a hold of it. I let it affect my ability to make friends/be in a relationship, I generally have little to no motivation, I suck at trying new things and getting out of my comfort zone, and sometimes I just feel like I'm ready to die.

How do I overcome it? I wouldn't know.

Sounds very, very familiar. I'm sorry you deal with such inhibiting issues, I'm always here if you ever want to talk to someone understanding

Thanks, it's actually been a lot worse in the past, so I'm not as bad as I make myself out to be. But, just like everyone I have my bad days and my good days. It seems like I deal with some type of depression on a daily, though.

I totally understand. I've got two therapists and psychiatrist to help keep me stable-ish, but those bad days are still there and depression is such a struggle. I'm glad you're doing better than in the past!

I've been to a therapist once in my life and I've been seeing multitudes of psychiatrists my whole life since I was a teenager. I'm decently stable right now, but I'm still not as stable as I could be. It's a tough struggle to deal with bipolar and anxiety issues.

I hope you continue to hold up yourself!

Yeah, there's always room for improvement. I've found therapy helps quite a bit, it gives you someone to unload to and a bit of back-and-forth that isn't really possible in normal conversation with people that don't quite understand. It's that constant struggle to keep it all together...

I would probably go to therapy if I had the income, but that's tough when you're currently unemployed and your finances keep dwindling away.

Yeah, that's a totally understandable concern, everything is ludicrously expensive right now. Can you qualify for medicaid? That will cover more or less everything you need while you're unemployed.

 

[Cory]

Can you qualify for medicaid?

I've never attempted it and I don't even know much about it. I suppose I should Google more about it.

I've been on it a couple of times, I'm actually on it right now. It's not perfect, not by a long stretch, but it covers a decent amount and gets you what you need.

I'll look into it. Thanks!

Of course! Happy to help or answer any questions if they come up!!

Thats good that you're not as bad as you used to be. Keep your head up and keep trying!

Thank you, I just got to keep staying active for the most part and try talking to people more often.
