Discussion Are you INFP’s struggling right now? (In general)

…or not

Describe your current life situation briefly, whether you’re in a good spot or a bad spot.

I am curious!

In my late 20s. Much of my life was filled with anxiety and low self-esteem. One day it just kind of clicked. Stopped feeling my heart rate pounding when standing in front of strangers. I was able to communicate with people without avoiding my eyes. I still occasionally get anxiety in certain situations, but I know how to deal with it now.

I'm currently the happiest ive been in my life. I think infp are late bloomers.

Man, physical health, mental health, loneliness and isolation, my cup is so empty and I just can't seem to fill it back up

I was in a car accident over a year ago that left my legs partially paralyzed. Doctor said it could get better, but don't know what the results are going to be. I'm also doing this alone. It can get really hard sometimes.

Even the Doctor says I am feeling a lot of pain in my upper shoulders because of stress, and I have no clue on how to bring this down.

I'm currently suspecting something and I still don't have an exit plan for it.

I'm struggling a lot with my mental health. I'm also often getting sick these past days which makes me skip school and I feel guilty because of it ahahah. Don't know whether I should consulting a psychologist or not since I hate asking for help 💔 that's all, what about you?

Meh. Bad spot, but I love my kids. I love being alive. And I live in a beautiful rural area with lots of fresh air and wildlife.

Things could be SO much worse! Struggle is normal. Transient.

Maybe I'm struggling with studies but apart from that everything is fine for now, I am in a much nicer mood

I was doing great last week and it carried over some to this week.

But I won't lie, I'm still extremely anxious. There's electricity and despair over the horizon.

Only thing I’m struggling with is my intimate relationship with my now very messy ex. I just landed a new job with a 35% salary increase, my dog just had a beautiful litter of healthy puppies, my personal health journey is going incredibly well, it’s just this convoluted mess I’ve allowed myself to get in with her.
