Hey guys I’m a 24(M) and unfortunately have had an irreversible thing done to my body which a lot of people online actively despise and protest against. I’ve heard some very nasty descriptions, and as a result I can’t imagine being confident enough to begin, let alone maintain a relationship. I don’t blame anyone and am not particularly angry at life. I just struggle with constant anxiety and find myself coping with some unhealthy self pity and suicidal ideation. I make music as a hobby, gym often and spend time with friends and family, as well as having a good job. That being said I still think I may need some healthy habits to make the most of my only life. I understand therapy is an option but it’s expensive where I’m from, I’ve had mediocre experiences and response to it previously, and I’m already aware of what triggers me, how to avoid it mostly,  don’t use drugs or drink much alcohol, and haven’t experienced an incredibly traumatic event. It seems like a waste of the professionals time tbh. I’m more so seeking everyday habits that can help. I feel like therapy works better for those with more legitimate reasons to struggle as opposed to my whining. 

TLDR: young man seeking healthy everyday habits to reduce mental health symptoms.
