This is great! Yeah I always tell my kids to think about the future you and ask how your decisions now will affect future you later. Love the way you put it.

You climb a mountain one step at a time

Unrelated to the post, but I needed to hear this today. Thanks, man.

Oh, good!

Ahh 26 ya. I thought it was mandatory? Weird. I got screwed and it passed when I turned 27. Lol talk about bad timing.

The law says your parents can keep you on until your 26. But the key word is can. Parents don’t have to have you on their insurance if they don’t want to.

Yo if you really need the USPS will likely give you a job. Honest work and pay with its own health insurance plan through the union. Be a mail handler or clerk

Focus, effort and get it done- it may not be perfect but progress happens and you need to stand on your own

My previous job challenged me so much that i no longer have empathy and no interest in everything

Hard truth

No saaa

Work in an exercise routine to keep your head (and body) in good shape

They are worried because they know they are not going to be around forever. They want you to be ready. I’ve been there with family members and I know how long it takes for the brain to kick in. Try reading the Primal Teen.

I got so lost.

Cold shower

Eat

Get notebook, write everything down

Pause

​

Respect yourself. Think logically, go outside.

You deserve to be here, you were created.

Since you are created, you can simply turn into essence. You are your whole being.

​

Now transfer yourself through the aether, be magnetic to what life has to give.

​

Become the space.

​

If all this did not help, or you did not understand it. Try again.

​

Now, if it still did not work; Become nothing. You have lost.

​

Become the darkness and breathe into it, breathe it out.

​

Go outside, this is your new place. Get used to it and trust the instincts of your body.

Be aware of the triggers, the warnings and the falling feeling you will experience.

Do not worry. You will not need anything to overcome this. As you were born for this.

Learn to trust the good. The heavenly. The bright. Some may call it sun, some may call it nature.

This is not something to be understood within the getmotivated atmosphere. As this is simply a place to " Get motivated ". In order to > Do < something.

We do not do anything.

If you aren’t failing, you aren’t challenging yourself enough

I have ADHD if it doesn't challenge me I'm not interested in doing it. I would just like to see some fruits for my labor at some point I'm tired of being challenged and not rewarded

I can't upvote this enough! Got a brain infection 7 years ago and now half of my skull is 3D printed. I have some short term memory loss amongst other medical issues as a result. After recovering, I immediately started a journal to note everything each day, and it has changed my life.

I try to live by this principle. Doesn't always get easy, but future me is much happier when I pack a good lunch, work out, plan ahead, and set goals. I try to think of future me as a roommate that I share a home and body with. When I'm an asshole to that roommate, I really start to resent that roommate.

You can do it ! Get your shit done! Good luck!! ❤️🙏

Listen to your parents!! ♥️🙏

Even if you have mental health challenges, you can do what you have to do. It is not impossible. Work and contributing to finances really helped me when I was in a bad spot!

I was at a point where I was doing an intensive outpatient program for mental health but I still HAD to work the rest of the week so that I would not be, you know, homeless.

But, I found that because I had to get up mornings to work, take care of my pets, and participate in a community group, doing one thing led to another thing. I mean, I am already up and dressed, why not run an errand? Why not do some enrichment with my cats? I literally could not afford to ruminate or go down thinking rabbit holes or sit around all day in my room. So I didn’t.

Yes, I could have used more rest and better care, but I found that I accomplished more each day/meeting, had more small wins, and felt a bit better about myself than the other clients in the program, who often had nothing else to do in their lives but work on their mental health.

It ended up I left the program because I got a job, which was actually better for that aspect of my health than the treatment. (I am neurodivergent and lack some social skills/tend to make faux pas, which forced me to hold myself back from expressing myself fully in groups and caused flak with the counselor who could not understand my challenges. While on the other hand, a schedule, routine, and working in my field was a huge mental health lift for me).
