it's always something man... one minute i have hope things will get better & the next i'm spiraling. no matter what i do i'm back to phase 1
I hope you start finding some traction in your daily life. I used to work a job were I felt like that. I’d work really hard and get denied a promotion, and it really hurt inside being denied over and over
Being depressed is just my default mood
Do you have anything that helps you get away from that default mood? Music, arts, sports etc?
been having panic attacks recently
s*** makes me feel hopeless
Do they start by any particular reason?
Like my girlfriend has developed them and we discovered the root cause is from her unable to predict her future in the near term due to the pandemic which makes her incredibly scared.
Hope you have a good day today!
i always have this fear of being a lonely hermit and burnout but it feels like that’s the hand i’m being dealt
I always use this expression a lot. I really do believe life is a lot like playing blackjack.
Just keep doing you and loving what you do. I had a rough year where I felt like I couldn’t win, and a job I felt like I could never win at. Even now being lost in Brazil with my girlfriend who’s be plagued with depression and anxiety, and me being confused on what to do down here, I’m still trying my best to make my way through this situation.
Time heals all and things will improve we just have to stay patient and enjoy the “bad hands” just as much as we enjoy the good ones.

fear for my future and guilt from my past
Was video calling a friend and we were talking about this show. She’s way further in than me.
I told her I didn’t like the main character. He has some sort of mental disorder and is super anti social but he like comes off as a p**** about it.
So I’m like “dude acts like a b**** ”
And she says “oh yeah well maybe you don’t know what mental illness feel like ”
Don’t considered Social Anxiety a mental illness but I do share some similarities with the main character so in my head when she said that I was like “if only you knew ”

Yeah man its exactly what my girl is going through. I've been trying to go on more walks in the park with her, when we sit on the couch i always let the dog sit with us, and try to always push her to do things she loves like singing.
Its hard on pandemic to really distract ourselves from those thoughts cause everything is closed. Do you have any hobbies or activities that help curve your thoughts?

I feel you, I love my pets cause they give me some form of stress relief and the feeling that I matter to someone
I love spending time with my dog, taking care of my canary and I even got an aquarium next to me (got it for 30$ along with the fish)
yeah, the pandemic is f***ed up for people with anxiety cause it makes us even more distant and afraid
Not tryna preach but If I had to name my most relaxing activity it's studying the Bible, practicing silence, praying and reading spiritual books. That gives me the deeper connection I'm longing for but I dont wanna force that on anyone in my circle cause I believe in free will plus I believe everyone gets their calling sooner or later

That sucks man. things got better for you though right?

Happy to hear you got some stuff that really brings you peace. People really underestimate to joy a good pet can bring to us.
The pandemic is really clouding the future and I know for so many people that is horrifying like in my girls case. Just gotta try to see some sort of light at the end of this pandemic tunnel even if its crazy dim.
Keep your faith strong brother. I'm not the most religious perosn but I cannot deny the positive effects it has for some people. Keep your faith strong fam and never let it wavier. We gonna outlast this strange 2020

Ehhh. When I gave my two weeks notice cause I was about to leave for brazil, they knew a supervisor was about to get fired so they offered me a temp title. So it could have been a happy ending but my moving plans were already in motion so I had to decline.
Now I'm trying to navigate a new life in brazil and its really difficult for me. But I'm staying positive that I can spin all these negative thoughts and feelings in time to make this my new home, cause it doesn't feel like home right now.

I know this might sound selfish
but considerin that people die everyday from it I'm happy to still be alive and kickin
I've had some physical health issues and my fear of it is keeping me from visiting any hospitals
but I hope that in the future I'll talk to my kids bout it as something that came and went
