Studying working and some political organizing
Also jus straight chillin fr
Sounds GOAT tbh.
Building knowledge, keeping yourself afloat, being active in your community, and setting aside time to rest the mental? Goals fr, keep thriving
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time rn. Life can be very cruel and very tough to navigate. Sometimes its hard to see the beauty through the fog.
Feel free to ignore the rest of this if its overwhelming, just a few simple things that can help break ya out of the cycle:
Try to make little gestures to treat yourself. Stop for an ice cream or a nice baked good in the middle of an otherwise monotonous day. Eat it in one of the nicest spots in your close vicinity while just breathing and people-watching. Throw on one of your favorite songs. Smile at people and say "Good afternoon" or "Hows it going?" as they pass by. Even if you don't care, make the effort.
Take a little day trip, either with a friend or just solo. Hit a couple thrift shops, hike a viewpoint, and try a new restaurant or bar in the area.
Start a tutorial series for a new hobby you want to learn. Graphic design, woodworking, coding, music theory, playing the guitar, rebuilding a car engine, etc. There are endless resources for knowledge out there, and just making that effort to learn something new can be really uplifting.
Keep your head up, fam <3

i really appreciate this!!
i do go for therapy and these are similar suggestions to what my therapist has given me as well but sometimes it's very difficult to distract myself. im partially disabled and walking is painful for me so im mostly indoors, i think if i wasn't stuck like this it would be a bit easier. a lot of the times as of recent even if i do try to do something nice for myself i end up feeling guilty about it.
regardless i really appreciate that you took ur time to try to cheer me up even though im a complete stranger, its 5am here and I've been stuck unable to sleep reliving bad memories, funerals, anxiety about the future and wondering if I've ever truly wanted to live at any point since i was a kid. thanks for your words, ill keep trying, i know for as long as im alive i have to try, but in all honesty i just don't know why im still alive in the first place. at the very least im really grateful that u tried to help, I may have heard these things before but its a reminder that i still try
We got this bro I'm tryna be more social as well
we do. just need to take it step by step.
also, real for Berserk rep in your profile.
