I’m in therapy for depression n my last session went badly because I was super zoned out on my meds n could barely talk. So for the next session I skipped them just for that day so I could be present. This time I was more engaged n my therapist said I seemed much better .. so I told her it might be because I wasn’t feeling as sedated. Then I brought up something that’s been bothering me ‘what if I’m somehow keeping myself stuck in depression like my brain is convincing me I’m depressed n I’m believing it’. She responded by saying that I like attention. I said I don’t, but she kept insisting that I LIKE ATTENTION. Later I mentioned I have a harmless crush on an anime character n she asked “is he in the room with us?” I laughed and said no it’s just imagination. Then suddenly she said I’m not taking my meds properly. I told her I do n it’s basically muscle memory but again she didn’t believe me n said “sorry but I have to tell the doctor to change your meds” n went to tell the doctorn told me not to use my phone till she returns.

I left feeling really confused and kind of invalidated. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

I’m (29)F n I’ve always considered myself below average looking n I was genuinely okay with that. It never really bothered me.

But recently I attended a program where I wore a bit of light makeup n actually felt pretty good about myself when I looked in the mirror before leaving. For once I thought ..okay, I look nice today.”

Then I saw a video from that event… and it completely shattered that feeling. I looked soooo different from what I saw in the mirror, like not just not great but genuinely bad. It kind of hit me harder than I expected.

Now I feel like I’ve been overestimating how I look this whole time. I also have a baby face which I used to not mind but now it just adds to how I’m seeing myself. No wonder why no men ask me out on a date 🥲

Ps: don’t gimme fake hope pls

With almost zero training days I ran 5K n felt incredible.

But the thing is I ran 5k with wrong shoes : ASICS Trail scout 3 shoe cuz it’s made for trails n not road running.

So as a beginner…I’m thinking of getting proper road running shoe… I’ve picked ASICS HYPER SPEED 5

What do you guys think
