I'm Fred Rodgers

But explore the magic of this tiny grain

Hey, I saw this thread and appreciate your candidness posting your personal story. It stood out to me as I can definitely relate quite a bit to the whole self esteem and feeling like a hopeless failure in terms of abilities, jobs, intelligence, personality, general life success. I have long had...

I'm a very positive person and I can provide my HIV diagnosis to prove it! Yeah, I use that joke too much. But really I'm trying to be more positive in life/goals and less the other way so a Skype group or something encouraging that might be a good idea.

Yep, I eat, work, poop, exercise and spend the rest of the day obsessively worrying that I am not eating or pooping at the appropriate intervals. It's gotten a little bit out of hand and I'm not quite sure I can ever live a normal life as a result. However, this routine would typically be very...

Is "trumped" an urban slang term for dress up in a goofy tupee and orange spray tan and publicly rant about needing to build a wall to keep out "dem immigrants who come to take our jobs, pillage our lands and soil the loins of our innocent wives"? If so, then yes, I have done this too many...

Not sure, depends on the context, if my feet were being touched with a blowtorch or soldering iron, I would have to say no. I don't believe that would be very pleasurable. If it was as a foot massage or in a romantic context, I don't know, I'd try it if the other person wanted to, it'd probably...

No, I don't think so. Though if I had it would better explain why I can't remember where I leave...literally anything I had five seconds ago XD Have you ever tried to write a blog?

Yes. Do you answer your own questions a week after asking them?

I definitely relate, job searching seems like such an overwhelming thing that it can just drain you of all energy to persevere. It also stinks to know you're not qualified for the things you think you want and are just kind of stuck. It's hard to break out of negative momentum but I think the...

I'm legitimately not sure. I thought I did, but my decision making abilities have never been particularly stellar. So to preface this, I'll say that I've been making some slight positive changes in life and sort of (emphasis on the sort of) think that I'm almost starting to get myself together...

I feel that about wanting to travel and go out on adventures more.

Yes. Do you spend too much time on the Internet?

I'm not really good at anything so I think I would get a huge sense of accomplishment out of being good at something that would be almost like doing it. I find j get a sort of pleasure from positive feedback even if it's for simple things anyone can do, and that feedback makes me feel almost...

I feel so much guilt and shame over how much I've eaten that I kind of wish I was dead. I just wish I could have more self control lately.

I feel you. It feels like there's so much wrong with me that I need to fix that it's almost not worth it. I find myself worrying about everything and I honestly think I'm too dumb and inept to suceed at anything in life.

I have had a lot of anxiety over my weight lately, partly because I feel like I struggle with portion control of the foods I eat. I've felt kind of heavy and gross this week due to eating too much, like for breakfast I'll have four or five servings of oatmeal (a full bowl) instead of the one...

I think my brain hurts because it's trying to remind me that thinking is not what it does best.

I still have a quite a bit of work to do on the whole making a good life for myself thing (trying to make progress on some personal goals) but I've done an exceedingly excellent job at following the second sentence of your advice, so I have that going for me. And I'm very good at it. But...

I'm older than you, 25, still feel 22 or 23, not sure what happened to the last couple years. Not gonna lie, I'm kinda freaked out by the big 3-0
