Hi guys. First a little background: My situation is kinda unique for this community. I'm actually a widow. My husband died due to Covid, even though he was vaccinated and had no underlying conditions. This was February of 2022 during the big 3rd spike. We were married for over a decade and we got very comfortable just being a duo. I'm coming up on the one year anniversary and I'm starting to come out of the fog I've been living in. That made me realize, I've never been independent and also an adult before. It's a really odd feeling. I have ADHD and have always had that childlike wonder characteristic (while not grieving obviously) and now that my person is gone, I feel like anyone I meet (platonic) will just think I'm a weirdo, especially for my age. I have a desk job and coworkers I interact with to get some socializing in, but I would never hang out with them outside of work. At work I come off as serious, intelligent, somewhat quiet, and a highly ethical person. It would probably shock them to see my personal side (silly, simple, anime and video games, 420 friendly, atheist) I'm pretty good at being solo, I don't feel like I need to run out and make friends. Actually, I worry that if I find a group of friends, I may skip over figuring out who I am in my new life. But also, the longer I wait the harder it may be. My options for finding a group I could belong to are slim in my neck of the woods anyway. What are your thoughts on my situation? (Additional details. My dad died in 2020 so my mom is around helping me a lot. She lives right down the road. I own a home and have kids. So I'm not really "solo" but I don't count that part of my life as any of my social or independent aspects.)

2022-12-19 00:45:07 +0000 UTCToday I got rejected from Johns Hopkins University, and I’m feeling really down because I really wanted to go there for premed. How should I deal with feelings of failure, and trying to bring myself out of this pit of not feeling like enough?

2022-12-16 23:48:30 +0000 UTCHey guys, sorry to send another question but I got banned from the discord server for using a Schlatt profile picture, specifically this image for a brief moment during a voice chat https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qsEUPjHv7MXcjCXb5TeeUsqc3iv4InhJ/view?usp=drivesdk I didn't change my username or try to impersonate him intentionally, we were trying out silly profile pictures from our devices and I was caught at the wrong time when I got banned, I want to apologize for doing it and promise I won't do it again, if you guys could help me get unbanned I'd greatly appreciate it. I was banned on December 14th at around 1:49 am cst

2022-12-15 05:54:17 +0000 UTCHey guys, before I start off with the questions I would like to say how much I hate you and that your advice is stinky poopy. What am I supposed to ask when employers or doctors tell you "now let me know if you have any questions." and is there an endgoal in life?

2022-12-11 10:53:46 +0000 UTCHey guys. Sooo update I forgot to continue the idea Mika suggested almost instantly (apologizes about that) but hearing you guys grapple with the moral ethics of the death button was fun. My question for this episode is how, if you struggled with it in the past, dealt with procrastination when it comes to schoolwork or personal work? I hope the holidays were good, and I hope you both have a fantastic holiday coming up this month!

2022-12-06 13:30:55 +0000 UTCHey guys. Thank you for doing this therapy time series, it's always comforting to listen to at work. I had a question for you as content creators. In my free time I've always been passionate about starting my own YouTube channel and have been making videos on and off since 5th grade. However I am a college student now and with classes, a part time job, and other responsibilities I find that I don't have very much time to record, edit, and do all the things I am passionate about anymore. I also have some pretty heavy online anxiety so I often find myself in a slump where I am judgemental of myself and whether the things I create are good enough. Despite this I am still carrying on and pursuing my dreams. Sorry for the long question, I thought as fellow content creators you may have some good advice. Thank you and I hope you had a happy holiday! -Spicy

2022-12-06 02:39:00 +0000 UTCHey there! Before I get into the stuff I do just want to thank everyone behind Sleep Deprived for making such banger content. Now for my issue(s?) Without going into too much detail I am a man who’s been through some shit from an early age that I don’t wish on anyone. And I hope I don’t sound like too edgy with that. I have absolutely zero means of getting therapy within at least the next five years until I somehow find a lottery ticket and win on it (trust me I have talked to doctors, psychiatrists, every damn person when I was in and out of psych wards*, people at my county’s office, absolutely no one has any solution.) (* Psych wards in my country do not provide therapy. It is more like one of those play pens for babies but instead of building blocks it has puzzles, just endless amounts of puzzles) With the backstory out of the way: I feel my issues are far too heavy for me to discuss with my friends, it’s also not like they can give me tools the way a therapist is able to. I guess I heard the word “traumadumping” and my anxiety ran with it as “fuck you for thinking your friends are meant to help you if you have a rough week” But also it’s a lot to put on someone so I just…Don’t? Literally any advice other than “seek therapy” would be so appreciated, or maybe I just need to be told I’m being a little bitch lmao Anyway if you read all of that I am so sorry because by god am I drunk right now

2022-12-05 04:43:52 +0000 UTCHello my smiješni momci, I did left a comment here a few months ago regarding my live work balance. I did work that out somehow. But now as my life changed (I got fucking married) here is another problem. Where I live tradition and wife-husband boundry is pretty common and respected by older part of society. In this sytuation my lovely father in law is quite angry beacuse me and my partner dont give a damn about tradition. In the end he treatened my partner to kick her out of family (big deal) if we dont go along with his vision. Maybe its not "therapy" topic, but I was wondering maybe my two favorite internet goofballs would share their toughts about that, sometimes its good to hear some outside opinions to decide what to do. Thanks in advance! Ps. In one of podcast episodes mika recomended Mid-Air Thief, and I love this shit so much, so thank you for sharing some good artists. Stream Alex Unknown

2022-12-04 01:14:16 +0000 UTCHey guys, so I made a comment on the react episode where you all watched episode 1 of Naruto. It was a lengthy comment but to summarize I was bullied back in middle school p.e class for bringing Naruto and mangas I checked out from the library, it affected me so much that I cried in the corner of the p.e gym hidden from everyone for the last days of that school year. Since then I haven't been reading or following Naruto related stuff cause of stigma from the past and have no plans to continue, but I wanted to ask if you have ever gone through similar, if so how do you deal/overcome it? (To clarify I still respect people for enjoying it and know it's not the show's fault, happy new year by the time you read this)

2022-12-02 07:47:50 +0000 UTCHey fellas, hope your holiday season has been swell! You remember that episode of SpongeBob where he becomes "normal" and all he ever says is "Hi, how are ya?" I feel like that when I try to talk to people. I grew up in a situation where I was not able to socialize very much, and I suspect it's lead to me being a very awkward person nowadays, especially around new crowds and relatively big communities. I often feel like I am not able to contribute to most conversations and I lock up in social situations even though I want to be there. Or when I do have something to contribute I overthink what I want to say or doubt the importance of it, and I often miss my chance. It happens in person and even on the internet and I feel pretty defeated about it. I definitely try too hard a lot of the time and as a result make things worse for myself. It's all so ironic because I consider myself a social butterfly, or I would be if socializing came easier. Do you have any ideas on how I could loosen up and start hanging out with new people without looking and feeling like a little weirdo alien who just appeared on Earth yesterday?

2022-12-02 06:23:39 +0000 UTCThanks for the advice guys, it genuinely did help, however I brought it up with them both and they then said I was mad that I wasn’t in a relationship currently and brought up past ones so that friendship is over i guess😭. I went on the teacups and i am tired of people pronouncing my name like mikas

2022-12-02 05:14:47 +0000 UTCHey fellas, thanks for the input and wow its new year. I now ask for all my crabs to be guillontined on my plate. I'll also start paying for this therapy once my free trial is up. Anyways id like to know what fruit should i be chucking at my neighbors for maximum damage, they attract mice so they deserve it.

2022-12-02 00:23:58 +0000 UTCHello big guy and poppy face (not saying who’s who) as the year is coming to an end I’ve decided to move schools, my whole life I’ve gone to a all boys school and I’ve finally decided that it just doesn’t work for me, I still get to interact with people of other genders but the environment is still really artificial. So I decided to move to an all sex school, just wanted to hear your thoughts on this, I don’t have any problems per say as I just have questions, have either of you changed schools or something along those line to a completely different environment? Thanks 🥸

2022-12-01 23:42:44 +0000 UTCHey big guys. Thanks a ton for helping me with my last problem. Before I got to use your advice though I accidentally clicked on one of the links this hot single mother sent me in a dm and my account has since been hacked. This week I don’t have any problems and instead I think I’d like to ask you a question instead. Who would win in a fight? pillsbury doughboy or the Michelin tire man. Anyways Have a good night big guys. -wonka
