I appreciate the kind words. I hope the day has been generous to you. At the moment I'm trying to embrace the difficult days, and hopefully they will make me stronger in the long run. 🙏

:(

I don’t think things will ever get better

Just watched Dopesick, it really hits a nerve with me.
Every time I try medication they always wanna up the dose

Anyone else lose their appetite and get super tired when they are depressed. Got back into a slump this week after receiving some bad news :(

oh yeah

I lied. They will and always can.

hope the week ahead has wonderful moments for you bro

you working atm ?

i'm really hopeful taping my mouth when sleeping may help with my pain, especially my eyes

will update after experimenting

thank you b!! 😊👍

Nah, and it really blows tbh. I think we can have too much free time and as the saying goes, the devil finds work for Idle hands. I ain't got much money too, so i'm stuck at the moment. I spend most of my time browsing YT, Running, and hanging out in the library as they are all more, or less free.

Are you in employment at the moment?

avoidance really is a b****. one of the main contributors to anxiety

facts too much free time can definitely be a negative. i find on the days I am at work - I am too busy to be worrying about my own s***, and just trying to get through the busy day. which has its good and bad

i'm basically picking my own shifts atm, so Im doing a period of chasing the bag working a lot, and then trying to enjoy the fruits I guess. But atm- i'm too ill to really enjoy, so working on that

I remember when you posted before about losing your job cause the boss was prick, or something along those lines.

you thought about something like deliveroo in the meantime? exercise + money

Anyone here taken lithium or Depakote before

Might start on one if these soon but I'm kinda scared cus they sound strong

i am sooo ready to die man

damn everything is going wrong

everybody too goddamn busy

Tfw you love too hard

I honestly feel like I'm losing my mind.
I can't help but feel like a part of a larger system that 1) propagates immense suffering and 2) is generally unbothered and/or oblivious to it.

I literally can't stomach it at times. And I feel like it's slowly breaking me down.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and may be able to shed some light. I'm a single 23 year old male, over the past year I've only had s***once despite having multiple opportunities with multiple girls. But I'll be talking to a girl online that I know and they're saying about catching up and what not and then I just don't make contact again

I don't know why

My ex and I broke up over a year ago and she lives in another country but we still talk probably once a week maybe that's holding me back but it's just weird because last year after we broke up it didn't phase me and I was regularly having s***with multiple women but for some reason this year I'm just holding myself back

Edit: and then there was a date I went on earlier this year with this girl I really liked and it seemed like she really liked me, and then when we went on the date I feel like I just self sabotaged and was just being a bit of an a******. We still talk every now and then but I definitely blew the chance of having something there. Maybe attachment issues but it's weird because in my mind other than that girl I'm not looking for a relationship or anything just casual s***but then when the opportunities arrise I just cut it off

Deliveroo would be difficult due to where I'm located. I would need either a car or motorbike to get my ass around. pausd

I'm definitely very open to temporary work during the fall just something to keep me occupied and ticking over on the financial side of things.

I'm really happy for the you b. It sounds like things are beginning to fall into place for you. Once you get into employment and compare how your life was before it's like staring at the other end of the scale, we operate in such an extreme system, it just sucks that there aren't more benefits, advantages, and holiday days available for the average worker.

When it's all said and done I just want to be happy and healthy, and I'm sure that the majority of folks on this site are seeking out for something similar.

tfw u go to the pharmacy for the perc 10s an they give u the 20s

cut your ex off, problem solved

used to think this was a weakness but idgaf no more if you can’t handle it u don’t deserve me

It’s not just that, I don’t know if she can handle it as unfortunately, despite having very intense feelings, I find it very difficult to express them or be intimate or even just flirt lol. we don’t even live in the same country, but I’m going to visit her in a couple weeks (we’ll see how it goes, low expectations tbh), but meanwhile I’m losing my mind over her and I know she thinks about me occasionally but I have no idea how she feels, like if she’s even romantically interested in the slightest. Mostly I just gotta hold on and not break down before I see her
