Good.

Be grateful that you are able to do those things.

Write them down everyday and show gratitude for them.

You have to learn to create your own happiness.

If we lived near each other (same or nearby county, perhaps), I'd hope to meet with you, and we could share talking and listening, and perhaps shared activity. I no longer say I'm talking "TO" somebody, but "WITH" somebody. Big difference.

I don't think about or worry about what other people think of my appearance, but I'll comb my hair before seeing people, rather than wearing my hair Boris Johnson style, lol.

I will stop and talk to somebody on the street who is homeless. The last time I did that, I was there for two-and-a-half hours. I could then happen to be in the same space as somebody famous, who I'd also treat as a human being. I once met Linda Blair at a horror convention and talked with her for about ten minutes; I didn't bring up THE EXORCIST or her other roles. I'm sure that somebody else already did that "job". We just had a fun conversation about...stuff. What a warm and nice person!

Lives of other people, even those who I may vehemently disagree with, are almost always interesting. I'm a Never Trumper, but would I accept an opportunity to chat with him for a half hour? Sure, I would.
"Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking" - Ray Bolger (The Scarecrow), THE WIZARD OF OZ, 1939.

Build, for a man, a fire - and he'll be warm for a little while. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Been about 4 years since I last took serious time off for depression, but once again here I am.

Started feeling low towards the end of December to the point I didn't go to NYE celebrations, claiming it was illness when really it was all in my head. Likewise have been off work for the better past of the last two weeks claiming flu/stomach bug (going round the office a lot so it was a free pass) until today, when I decided I couldn't really stand to stay out of the office much longer as I'm my head of department.

Got in, very quickly started feeling like schit. My manager had talked about the potential of a WFH spot opening up so I asked about it, was told that we weren't going ahead with it anymore. Just felt like schit after that, explained things to him and went home. Gonna get a doctor's note for some more time off and, I guess, get myself on anti-depressants.

Have to admit I've been thinking a lot about suicide lately, perhaps more than in my previous dark patches, and what's more is that I'm thinking about with more clarity than previously. IE I'm not just gonna jump off a multistory car-park, I'm gonna look into getting my belongings sold off/room cleared so family don't have to do that once I'm gone. On the one hand I don't plan to do it, on the other hand I don't think I've ever actuallyplanned the actlike I keep doing.

I'm just tired. 30, not where I went to be, and that reality has had me going through bouts of depression since I was 20. Just tired, brahs.

If you have suicidal thoughts please call 911 and get yourself a therapist and psychiatrist ASAP. This is very urgent.

Please take care of yourself and keep us updated. There are people on here who care about you.

You're just starting out! I was making the same at your age. Working does seem dull in comparison to college. I remember feeling really depressed as I missed my classmates. But over time you get over the college party scene, make new friends and get used to the corporate world.

I can switch with you if you'd like to be in your 50s.

Somehow I made it this long even with anxiety and depression.

If I made it then those ITT can make it!

Relax, it’s just a job.

IME, a job ending (of your own volition or otherwise) is usually a blessing in disguise.

Hang in the HoustonMiscer. I lost and gained 50 lbs so the depression is huge, and people making fun of me on here about it doesn't help.

I started this new year with some freak thing that swelled my 🥜 s to the size of golf balls... Most pain I've ever felt in my life, literally had them wheelchair me in the ER... 3 professional opinions, I'm told nothing and given ibuprofen. Oh, and I lost the 20lbs I worked so hard to gain last year in just 2 weeks. Whatever, it only goes up from here right?

2023 was literally a kick to the nuts.

Life just keeps getting worse every day. Everyone around me is dropping dead like flies. My family is getting cleared out. My closest relative has terminal cancer. Work feels like a pointless struggle to barely get ahead with little reward, no end goal. I don’t even know why I spend the majority of my life there. All of my friends are either dead or became junkies or drifted away. I’m fkin mentally and physically exhausted every single day. I feel alone.

It’s been months since I felt happy. I just want to run away from society but more likely I’m going to either stroke out or die young somehow. My body feels defective with weird pains and pressures. I just feel like this doesn’t end well or last long. I’d never off myself but I’m literally getting choked up thinking about how hopeless life feels srs.

Make a list of things that make you happy. Painting, cooking, hiking, sailing, etc.

Use the work week as a motivation to do the activities you enjoy.

There has to be atleast one thing that lifts your spirits. Focus on that bro

I agree life sucks a bag of dicks most of the time, but its also temporary so try finding your pleasures where you can in the meantime.
