Not All Longest Nights Belong to the Sky
by daydreammemories
Last post
 19 hours ago
...See more Hello hello wonderful humans! I hope your days go as smoothly as possible💚 Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating🎉🙂 Last Sunday was the longest night of the year for many of us. In Persian, this night is celebrated as "Yalda". Yalda Night is known as the longest night of the year — a moment we can measure, predict, and mark together. We know exactly when it starts and when it ends. Historically, it symbolized the victory of light over darkness and hope over hardship. Families gather to stay awake through the night, trusting that after the longest darkness, the days would begin to grow longer again. ✨ But life has its own longest nights. There are nights that don’t follow astronomy or calendars. Nights of loss, anxiety, depression, uncertainty, illness, or waiting. Nights where time feels stretched, where the idea of “morning” feels distant or irrelevant. Nights that don’t end with sunlight, gatherings, or tradition. This post is about acknowledging those nights. The ones we don’t name. The ones we endure silently. The ones that feel endless not because of the sky, but because of what we are carrying. Yalda reminds us that darkness passes. But it also invites us to ask harder questions about the darkness we live through. ⁛What has been the longest night of your life? ⁛What made it feel endless? ⁛Did you have support, or did you carry it alone? ⁛What helped you get through — or are you still in it? ⁛And when you imagine “morning,” what does that actually mean for you? (Kindly please add trigger warning if necessary!) (Please use your member account to answer and your listener account for supportive replies)

When Happiness Feels Scary
by versatilePear5431
Last post
 1 day ago
...See more This month has been unexpectedly emotional for me. I met someone I genuinely like and feel safe and comfortable with, and things have progressed more seriously than I expected. I’m genuinely grateful for everything happening, and I’m not complaining at all, but I’m also dealing with my mental health and find myself getting anxious and overthinking wondering why someone would choose me and whether I can trust something good without expecting it to go wrong. I know a lot of this comes from my past traumas, and I’m trying to understand and work through these feelings rather than letting them affect something that is making me genuinely happy.

Working on being positive

...See more I've stopped listening to such sad depressing music. And listening to music that is upbeat and positive. I actually got out to play disc golf this weekend and met a group of guys who let me play with them. They were so awesome and positive and affirming. A song I have heard many times came on the radio this morning, and this newfound way of opening up and being honest with myself and others made me hear it in a completely different way. https://youtu.be/UAjbYlO2JNU?si=X7XI938_Rth2J9v-

Taking time off work

...See more Hi everyone. I decided to take a leave of absence from work because my mental health is really bad right now. My anxiety and depression are very bad especially my anxiety. It almost feels like my soul was ripped out and replaced with anxiety instead if that makes any sense. Anyway, I have some plans for what to do on my time off but would like more ideas. I'd like ideas to help me heal during this time. I already have plans to see a doctor so please don't say that. 😊 I'm looking for other things right now that don't have to do with a doctor or medicine. Ideas so far... Get outside Meditate Read bible Read a book Listen to music Go to my happy places (libraries or bookstores) What other ideas do you have? Thanks 😊

Politics Continue to Ruin Me
by HorrendousHexapod

 Monday
...See more I don’t know how much longer I can do this. Not a day goes by where I’m not being bombarded by some *** about how dumb, evil, and wrong whatever gender, race, age demographic, side of the political spectrum, etc are and always have been. I keep seeing these claims about how we’re all mentally unstable, ugly, stupid, irrational, lack empathy, spoiled, entitled, don’t have real relationships, or don’t have real jobs or skills. Where the *** did all of this even come from, I swear things weren’t this bad a few years ago, but now all of a sudden everyone’s at each other’s throats. I’ve even been guilty of this myself, as I’ve forced myself to look at the posts or reposts or people I follow online to make sure they don’t have the “wrong” opinions, because I’ve been so burned and browbeaten into worrying that people are either evil or stupid for holding unpopular beliefs, or that if they repost something objectionable then I’m no longer allowed to like the art they post or interact with them about my hobbies. I never even wanted to get into politics in the first place, all I wanted was to brows art, read about science, and talk about my niche hobbies and hyper fixations, but it feels like I can’t even do that anymore. For example, some people I’ve been following in online spaces for the last few years recently reposted some pretty nasty things about Charlie Kirk, which has come out of nowhere, given the fact that they’ve hardly, if ever reposted things like this before, and even then, just last year, the things they reposted about him were nowhere near this harsh. I’ve been following and liking their work consistently for quite some time, I’ve even interacted with them before. I won’t claim that they saved my life or anything, but I found out about them when I was in a bad place, and watching their work helped me get my mind off my worries, even just a little bit. So now what do I do? Do I stop following them? Do I stop liking their work? Does this make them bad people? The things they reposted about Kirk are horrible, but they’ve rarely done anything else like this before. I’m just sick of all of this. I just want things to go back to the way they used to be, when I could just breathe and actually allow myself to relax with something I enjoy after a long day at Uni or at work. Where do I even go from here?

Embracing uncertainty

 September 9th
...See more My whole life, I've tried to minimize risk of potential hurt. It was only natural, protect myself. In doing this though, I let fear and anxiety control my actions. I slipped into a bad state of this for a couple weeks. I would say "what's the worst possible scenario" and then I'd try to eliminate any possibility of that happening. I've realized over the past couple days. If you try and eliminate pain from your life, you never live. You have to be okay with living with fear, and anxiety, and potentially getting hurt. The best thing you can do, is embrace it all. Be excited about the risk. Put yourself in a position in life so that if a risk doesn't pan out, that's ok. I'm so so excited about this new mentality. I have a tough relationship talk coming up tomorrow. I'm super excited for it. I'm excited to share this newfound mentality of mine. And if it doesn't go well? I'm excited to see how I bounce back. I won't let fear control me. It's always going to be there, and that's ok

...See more im so tired of crying because i dont fit in, i never have since i was really young its getting embarrassing, you would think the bullying and getting called weird to this day would have stuck by now. each day i have to come up with another new list of things i need to stop doing so i dont feel so naive and like everyone’s little sister all the time. even with b i love her so much but ive never felt like i was her equal at all, she’s very mature and has life experience and knowledge that i dont (with some of it being the result of trauma im not jealous or romanticizing we just dont measure the same and therefore theres a maturity gap in our friendship) ive always felt stupid around her, she knows a majority of what i don’t and i feel so genuinely dumb and childish when i hang around her, every time she has to chastise me or tell me that no one does that, that’s not how that works, what are u taking about, you’re never supposed to do that, etc i feel so dumb. i appreciate someone telling me what im doing wrong but like the list never seems to end and i feel like i genuinely don’t know anything at all. i’m now scared every time we hang out because what am i doing wrong now is everything im doing normal and am i okay. i’ve gotten slightly better but it’s just frustrating. i hate not feeling like me and my best friend are  on the same level and like im the stupid little sister or kid she brings with her and tolerates. and i can see that she’s tired of me too, for years she’s had to use a harsher tone when speaking to me and i can always tell when she’s fed up with me because i overreacted overthunk and made a big deal out of another thing. i’ve contemplated ending our friendship for over a year and a half now too because it does hurt my feelings when she gets mad at me and i feel again so stupid and naive around her i just want to spare her. i’ve even started getting mad because why can i just be normal everytime she has to say something it’s like why did i have to do that and ruin things again, just be normal like everyone else. things just always feel tense between us and i know it’s my fault everytime for not knowing and then she gets mad at me for getting upset too. i wish i could be normal enough to where she could feel like im one of her other friends and could have a normal chemistry with who she could talk to who she doesn’t have to lecture on every mistake and every new life experience. but my feelings aren’t even valid, i cry so much now anything will set me off so me being upset is just me using my victim mindset overthinking and being over sensitive all the time. i’ve started cutting myself because of it too and i honestly deserve it too. i am the childish person that everyone everyone makes fun of and i literally cannot just chill out. i have to cut myself because what the *** am i doing, i genuinely deserve it and need to punish myself because i have to remind myself somehow to learn and know better. i cant even be there for her ive gotten too comfortable and vented to her all the time to the point she says she’s tired of it and rightly so, and she probably never feels comfortable venting to me or talking to me because im so self absorbed and she’s always a private and much stronger person than i am. she has genuine issues and here i am with “i feel worthless” “look at me” “don’t always use a judging tone with me” she probably wants to slap me across the face for complaining when she has issues that are tenfold of what i deal with. her mental physical and basically every aspect of health has worsened since freshman year even and she stays strong she moves forward doesn’t complain like i do all the time and is mature about it. im trying to be more mindful now because i genuinely cannot keep bothering her with my stupid nonsense. i also need to text her less i need to be less clingy and annoying, it’s why she feels she can’t date sometimes bc more than one clingy person is too much in her life. if she read this she would probably get *** too and say she was never mad at me and again im overthinking and making a big deal out of nothing, and that this is all nothing then i would confess that her tone hurts me and then she’s going to get mad try to be nicer, but then things won’t be normal what kind of friend am i where she would have to tiptoe around my stupid *** feelings because i can’t handle criticism.  things are just going to be more awkward and worsen from there i just hope she never finds this because i need to stop stressing her out i need to stop bothering her and it is that serious because ive been a terrible friend and person to her. i wish all the time that i could end our friendship because she deserves better and im tired of trying and failing all the time. even with my cutting when it comes to this or any situation im basically performative with it at this point i dont cut deep enough to feel real pain, yet think i deserve it all and like ive done so good cutting myself so much. i need to build up my tolerance for cutting, and then end all my friendships, anyone reading this is probably laughing at how self deprecating i am and how “me me me” and “poor me” i am, but im just tired of having things to complain about and living. i can’t change my personality or who i am ive tried, im just tired of this and dont feel any passion, will or need for living anymore. at this point i would just agree as people laughed at me. i don’t even have serious mental issues and im not saying that out of comparison i just objectively don’t and need to move on.  i’m genuinely so tired of living and i don’t even want to get better, again i just want to get worse enough to where i actually take some responsibility and action for even being alive. the only reason i ever try to heal is so that i look normal, and people don’t make fun of me even more for not taking the responsibility of healing
