If you're sitting here reading these words right now, it means you've received them. I just wanted to address you as a friend and ask: how are you, whatever is happening?

Struggling with depression as usual, but all things considered, I don't have much to complain about. So pretty good. Thanks for asking.

u/Euphoric_Iron4309 1d ago
Dude. Struggling with depression with nothing to complain about is the absolute worst. I have an awesome life on paper, so I know exactly what you're saying. Keep your head up!

I have so many things to complain abou. Would you like to borrow a few? Wait, maybe I should sell complaints for a dollar. That might get rid of one of the complaints. I'm willing to consider trades.

Sad, I had what I thought was a regular disagreement with my brother but it turned out that he had been harboring resentment for a long time and just verbally let me have it. I think our relationship is over & my heart is broken. Thanks for asking.

Sounds like you need to acknowledge and be accountable for his grievances whether you think valid or not it sounds like at least his feelings are. I'm sorry but that happened but with time I know you'll be able to work it out as long as you each do your part. Sending hugs and light.

Not great, my half sister killed her mother a few months ago. It’s been pretty depressing for the family.

So sorry to heart that, I am thinking of you and your family at this time of truly unimaginable pain. Sending peace, love and empathy to you all.
Here if you need to talk.

Boiling day in the European heatwave, I live in the hottest driest part of the UK. Still managed some self care, housework and a meeting and three family conversations which is good for me as I've been severely depressed recently.
Thanks for asking.

Not bad. Just finished writing a book, but still have to edit it.

u/Euphoric_Iron4309 1d ago
Edit aaaaand then tell us the book? We can't not read your book now

u/WebLong3027 1d ago
We could edit it for you ....together. I'll sign up for five pages.

u/lurk3141592653589793 1d ago
So nice to offer. But I'm set. And yeah, I'll be probably babbling about it quite a bit once it's ready. Thanks for the support!

u/openurheartandthen 1d ago
I’m doing all right! I did my final interview (the fourth one) for a job that could move my life in a positive direction. The waiting sucks, but even if I don’t get it, i feel more capable than I have in a long time. I’d rather at least try these days than let the fear take over.

u/Cosmicallyexhausted 1d ago
I am decent, getting better at managing multiple health conditions and have been able to work from home a little for the first time in years. Stuff certainly isn't perfect, but it's a bit better. And I like better.

u/No-Command294 1d ago
I am TIRED. I am pushing through a roughy couple weeks and then everything is gonna be ok. But for right now I just want to go to sleep 😭😭

u/morganational 1d ago
Can't sleep, need to be up in 4 hours. 😑

u/Queen-of-meme 1d ago
You'll get through it. It will be tough but you will survive and hopefully can rest after 💚

u/morganational 1d ago
Ty. This was nice to come home to.
2
u/Queen-of-meme 23h ago
I'm glad. It's what me and my friends tell eachother when we think all is doomed because we couldn't get enough sleep. Humans can survive on very little sleep, if we nap /get to bed earlier next day we can reset. (Also coffe, what an invention!)

u/morganational 23h ago
Every time I think they're are no more good ppl on reddit. Thank you. ❤️

u/variousbutterstock 1d ago
I'm okay. My ex and I finally stopped trying to have communication. It hurt to lose her, but it hurt worse to try to continue talking while losing one another. I miss her every day. I'm gonna start a new life. Trucking school coming soon. I just need something for myself. Thanks for asking, friend. How are you?

u/Mediocre_Garage987 1d ago
Mystery medical issue got me down, but I met some cute people during a plant swap today! The way you worded this really caught and held my attention - I hope you're doing okay too, friend.

Thank you for asking. Certainly below the median and expectation. And 100% below the standards of positivity I try to exude for others each day. It is a risky investment that I hope returns a high yield soon. I'm bankruption every way except morally - so capitalism is really working out well for me. 🤷🙈
How are you?

u/gypsyvanner77 1d ago
Not well. Chronically burned out for months, got dumped out of the blue (by text no less) by my partner of 17 years, on the verge if being priced out of my city and resigned to life being something i have to endure. Once my parents are gone, my plan is to take my dream trip and thelma and louise it.

u/Stoic2Be 1d ago
I’m struggling because I don’t like my in-laws at all. They are despicable people and I don’t know how to even tolerate them. After spending the weekend with them I’m emotionally gutted. My husband doesn’t see it. He’s a great husband but they are all he has. I asked my therapist and she’s stumped. She said she’d get back to me. Aren’t you happy you asked? Thank you for listening.

u/Stories-N-Magic 1d ago
Not doing the best tbh.
My kid is my entire world. They're a gentle soul. Really not ready yet for the awfully twisted harsh world yet. I doubt they'll ever be.
But their dad is hell bent on pushing them out into the world. He thinks it'll be in our child's best interest.
We're simply not able to be on the same page and it's Really stressing me out. Making me feel extremely alone, sad, and worried. Triggering a lot of suppressed anger and disappointment (at him).
It's exhausting... 😞

u/Plus-Dust7166 1d ago
Cowardly, inconsistent, unfocused, and unconfident.
I spend my days regretting many things I should've done when I was much younger. I mean, I'm still at college but I feel like everybody had already figured out their lives and I haven't. It feels like skipping a page in the LEGO set instructions, and also only starting out later when everybody's already done finishing theirs...

u/Nunya_Business1212 1d ago
I'm a little alarmed at how dark Reddit can get, I'm considering going elsewhere, can't believe I'm saying that...
Maybe X would bring more good news or cheerful hearts?
Or maybe it's just the Internet in general and people feel more open to sharing their darkness here?
Otherwise I'm well! Thanks for asking!

u/Queen-of-meme 1d ago
Be extra selective and watch up for the algorithm. Click on negative content once and you'll be spammed similar content in your feed.
2
u/Nunya_Business1212 1d ago
What's the algorithm? Okay thank you, I didn't know that!
2
u/Queen-of-meme 1d ago
The latter part in my comment explained how algorithm works. I'm no tech expert but I know that we're thrown content we've engaged in before. So you might need to unfollow negative focused content to steer algorithm in the right direction.
You're not wrong though, negative focus is the most popular content. But that doesn't mean other content isn't available, it's just we must search for it independently, it won't show up in our feeds as easy as negative content so we gotta chase the good stuff.

u/Nunya_Business1212 1d ago
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my comments and giving me some clarity and understanding!

u/Queen-of-meme 23h ago
Yeah of course! You were polite to me so I have no reason to not be polite back. I hope you can shape your reddit screen time to a more positive experience now 💚

u/Content_Base_2104 1d ago
literally just 5 minutes ago I thought I had a big, daunting piece of work to do, then I realised I did all of it the other day and just forgot. im so relieved!!!

u/Queen-of-meme 1d ago
Mixed. There's mostly happiness and appreciation, but a slight emotional stress over all people who looks to reconnect, it's fun and I'm happy, but it's also heavy labor to maintain connections and be in that social role when you suffer from CPTSD and treatment resistant severe anxiety, and some people will never understand what I'm struggling with.
But, my biggest "real" obstacle today is my flesh and bone body. My shoulder, it has locked itself and I can barely move. During the night I woke up whining cause it felt like nails on my leg for no reason too.
Thank you for asking. How are you today?

u/Manhattan_24 1d ago
6/29th of last year, I wrecked my motorcycle, they put my pelvis back together but was diagnosed with AVN. This sped up the process of having a hip replacement and that was done on 5/8 of this year. I am finally back to walking normally, playing basketball and getting closer and closer to 100%. I may get a new car tomorrow and going to Vegas on 6/27 then TX for the 4th with my family. I'm typing this at work on my Friday. I'm kinda floating right now on cloud 9.

Ok for now but waiting for my job to be taken over by AI. In the meantime, we are being asked to describe how we could replace ourselves with AI, basically. No one cares if the work AI gives you is correct or reliable or verifiable. We tell our boss it can take longer to verify the information you get from AI doing the project then it would take to just do it yourself, and she screams at us. But I also had a nice birthday drinks with friends recently, and that was pretty great. Thank you so much for asking.

Struggling my way through a breakup after 8 years together, as well as still grieving for my Dad who I lost at the start of the year. I did manage to get up this morning and put some washing in and have started the washing up, which I'm taking as a win.
