Need help - contemplating the end of me
I’ve never done this before, but been tempted for first time last couple months, and feel sick after every time. I was searching images on the web and saw pics of people (unknowingly photoed). I’m bipolar/ocd and I don’t mean to be stalķish but I have to be dead honest. When I need to run errands, of course— I see all kinds of people. Many times I double glance and want to take a covert/ long gaze at an a$$. Usually I have a semi panic attack seconds later and all I can think from there is run out of the store.. not for fear of being caught, but from shame, self disgust, internal conflict. This has ruined my comfortability of being in public social situations. I am hating myself so hard right now, even while slowly doing better each day. I avoid malls and popular stores like hell because I know they’re full of attractive women 24/7 which is just further isolation, but imo absolutely necessary. Could really use in depth responses and prayer. Thank you. Call me out if you want, harsh is good / no need to be easy if you think it might help me see +clarity.
Bro whether you’re manic or not. You are a strong ass dude. You fucking matter and you have a place on earth. Understand that life is gonna be a journey and you’re not going to be able to compare yours to others. You’re on the right path bro.
