Does my existence matter? Do I really change lives like people say?
You absolutely do. You've definitely changed mine. I could guarantee I'm not the only one here either
Sometimes I wonder if I’m doing anything positive, or just making life worse.
How could you possibly be making it worse?
I just do.
Hard disagree.
Wanna bet?
I’m sorry I’m ignoring half your posts… I’m bad at this :(
It's ok, I get it, things get overwhelming. 😂 Otherwise I'd be in the forums more
Wym? Are you overwhelmed?
Generally yeah. I have a lot going on between work and everything else. 😅 I usually do well with it though
I just need a hug. And I want to not think.
You can has hug!
I don’t want to hurt anymore. The constant anxiety and PTSD and everything is driving me mad… :(
Does anything help or distract you with those feelings, even if just temporarily?
Sometimes, but not much.
You might need a total change of pace somehow, with something. I think I might too... I started going a little crazy for a week or so...
Like what?
Crazy how?
I dunno, changes of scenery or activity?
Just been so, so very angry...
Like what tho
How come?
I dunno... Parks? Libraries? Painting? Writing?
Angry because humanity is a stain. I just can't deal with disgusting levels of corruption and people's ignorance anymore
Maybe idk
Look for the beauty. Look for the safe people.
Give something a try for sure.
You're not wrong .. I'm trying... Friends and guinea pigs help
Idk. Just tying to cope rn.
I’m trying to make a list of safe people.
What else helps?
Actually having free time. I need some time alone to hike and to play video games I think.
Ok sir, I have a challenge for you :)
I want you to choose one thing. One. That will make your life one percent better tomorrow. I don’t care how tiny and insignificant and seemingly silly it may be. Just… pick something. And do it. Tell me what it is <3
I’m going to try to read more. I feel better about myself and more productive when I cycle books out faster. Makes no sense because I essentially hoard books (and give them away when done!), but still. Hehe
I'm probably going to stay away from my phone as much as possible once I'm off work today. There's plenty else to experience, and hopefully it helps
Good, do that <3
No more Mr. Grumpy Gills. ;) Not tomorrow. It’s not allowed. You have been charged with a mission. ;)
Oh? I'm intrigued
That IS your mission. You’re not allowed to be grumpy today. ;)
I got a lot of grumpiness out already. I might be able to handle that
You need a punching bag at home. That might help a lot. <3
That's been brought up before. 😅 I think it's a good idea... I have no idea how much they cost.
Or one of those clowns that rock back and forth? You know what I’m talking about? Like they’re weighted on the bottom
Also I just checked on Amazon; some of them are really cheap! Between $20-$40ish <3
I checked too. That actually isn't bad. Hard limit on the clowns though. 😂 I want something that doesn't look dumb that I can practice actual boxing and a bit of kung fu on.
Get one. That’s your mission this week <3
We'll see. 😅 I'm not sure where to even put it yet
Your mental health is important. Even a fidget might help!
I'm really trying to look into getting a punching bag... I just really can't figure it out. A fidget wouldn't help, I have those already
Get one of the standalone ones. Don’t bother with the attachment to the ceiling.
Another alternative is a gym membership or boxing lessons.
Oh yeah, no chance on the ceiling thing. Standalone for sure.
...hmph. I've taken a free sample class at the boxing place we have nearby. Dude teaching it had an ego bigger than the entire building. I don't think I'll be coming back
Look into GroupMe. :)
How will that help? I had to use it for group chat at a job before, and by the end, I felt like "please, for the love of God, don't group me"
Wait… I meant Groupon XD
Hey, GroupMe is better than a text group that you can’t remove yourself from lol
Lol, ah. How is GroupMe better?
Because you can leave XD
Except when you're in a work group. 😜 I didn't know people used it much outside of professional stuff
So I JUST finished the live action HTTYD <3
Ooh nice, how was it?
Look up “roll for salad videos”. Just trust me lol! You should TOTALLY try this <3
Lol, just did... That was entertaining. Spicy snowflake salad.. that almost looked good-ish
Snowflake? Was that the pasta?
Would you try it hehe
It was. Lol, I don't think so... It looked kinda bad. I'm all about adding stuff to elevate flavors, not just adding a ton of things together.
You’re no fun XD
I also like to enjoy what I'm eating. 😂 That doesn't mean I don't do some kitchen science experiments and drink alchemy
I eat WEIRD food together lol
Lol, like what?
What are your thoughts on going tech-free?
Good for us now and then probably. What about you?
The emotions are strong tonight… Things I didn’t write about. Things I can’t say. Just… emotions. Struggle. Hurt. Shutting down emotions to keep going. Trauma. Pain…
I’m safe. I’ll be ok. You never have to worry about me being unsafe.
I just need some love… Help me get through this.
I'm here. ❤️ Dealing with it too... My own stuff. Glad that you're here
I’m sorry… I’ve been so selfish and focused on myself.
No you're not. Youre just in good company.
