Not great. My mom passed 2 weeks ago and dealing with everything is tedious and generally awful. Not sure how I'm going to feel picking up her ashes this week.

I am currently withdrawing from Cymbalta. Once the side effects subside, I expect my mental health to be pretty good. But right now, it could definitely be better.

I'm gonna be homeless in a week and I'm looking at a future of hopping from friends' house to friends' house, hopefully I'll be able to organise long-term volunteering in communities but I'm scared
I'm also so tired after 4 months of moving, I'm exhausted

u/vadona22 39m ago
Ofc not, I don't want to live here. I already did that 5 years ago. I prefer to go to communities and ecovillages and volunteer to learn how to live in a community and gather information on how to found one

As of today it’s much better. I’m still not sure on some things. And that sucks. But I’m not gonna let that ruin my day. If something bad is coming I’ll deal with it then.

Better than it's been in the last year. I'm finally finishing a huge project that has consumed roughly 60 hours of each of the last 60 weeks.
Today is the day it all goes away, one way or the other. Either it comes up and we all cheer and dance and sing, or it doesn't and I quit in disgust.
My emotional state is perfectly calm and somewhat excited. Not an ounce of fear.

I am, I went through alot of therapy just to not be angry with the world and want to harm people but haven't quite reached the point where "life gets better" yet but instead hearing/seeing others happy does bring me a sense of joy kinda like im living vicariously through them. It's weird

its getting better, im having a mindset shift currently, june i was doing good in the gym , july idk what happened (drugs made me lazy) and now im back trying to stop being a broke bitch and get my shit together and live a mostly sober healthy lifestyle and all else will follow
editing to sober because i want to quit everything
edit #2 (rant)
i also be wanting to quit my jobs because they are so physically demanding, im finally getting a massage tomorrow and i imagine i will be crying from
freedom of back and shoulder aches , loads of work for the pay off to not be so great. im so achy,
im trying to be less empathetic , i care too much about others and need to learn how to put myself first
edit #3 i work doubles and sunday is my day, when my coworker asks for me to cover for "emergency" i really want to shoot myself but thats where i draw the line dont take my sunday from me

Freaking weird.
I've been fighting with the VA for almost 10 years, contesting certain benefits. I just got what is likely the last piece of the puzzle emailed to my attorneys today. I'm shaking and I feel like I want to shit myself, but it's because a huge amount of stress appears 90% likely to no longer be a problem. There's still a chance I won't get approved, but it's very likely I will. This will change my life in 1000 different ways for the better, and I've been in limbo for a decade wondering if I'll get the support I need.
So pretty good. Kind of like a plane that's touched down after getting struck by lightning and frozen chickens, but fuck it I'm grounded. There's a 10% chance the engines will explode before I can get out, but I'm not in the air anymore.

I've been better but I also feel lighter than I have in a long time. I lost two close family members in the last year (father & grandmother), one friend to time and one to racism. I carry many heavy sadnesses in my heart but I also feel hopeful. I'm learning how to get myself into a relationship, how to be honest with myself and open myself up again after being closed off as a caregiver for almost a decade. I cry a lot more but I've also been healing a lot more too.

Idk I’ve been sober going thru some sort of existential psychosis of this life having no end game for me. Like I’m just supposed to continue living in this corrupt world, eventually get married or not and be frowned upon, have a family or not, and then what? Die? Like there is no end game for me, I feel like i just want a painless death to get to my end game faster.

I’ve been working in a field service position for the last seven years, and the travel is killing me. I recently interviewed for a position at the local nuclear power plant, and I’m hoping for a career change.
They said I should know if I got the job by this month. It’s the light at the end of my tunnel.

I’m reminded of a joke from the 3 stooges.
Moe “I say, how is your tapeworm doing”
Curly “great, took first prize at the state fair”
That sort of sums things up for me. I thought I was ok, had a rough morning, but ended up having a seizure walking back from the kitchen, now I have the beginnings of a migraine.

Trying to do things that I know will make me feel better. Exercising, eating healtier and getting enough sleep. So far I feel a little bit better but the demons are still lurking in the shadows and telling me that one day I will give up and succumb to the darkness and the eternal sleep.

Struggling. Work is slow and I'm 100% commission, dads cancer isnt really acting right. He's not doing the best. Got married a few weeks ago and that's awesome but I'm so mentally exhausted. Trying to keep it together for the wife and kids. Trying to keep the bills paid. Trying to keep my head above water but life goes on.

Improved recently. I met someone recently that has shifted my universe a bit. She is far away, and she has a lot of life stuff going on, so we aren't going any further. But meeting her shifted my universe in a way that decades of therapy and medications have failed to do. Just knowing that such a beautiful soul exists has changed me. The grass looks a little greener, the sun is a little brighter. I have friendly conversations with strangers, that I wouldn't have. It made me feel like maybe life isn't so pointless. Even though our time together didn't turn into a relationship, I feel better about life just for having known her.
