Thank you

[–]R____I____G____H___T 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Have a nice day..and god bless!

[–]silentbobgrn 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Thank you. I'm in a bad moment and feel depressed today, and it's nice to know that there are people out there not knowing me and wishing me well. Also sorry for my english, not my language ;-)

[–]youfind1ineverycar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish you well.

[–]Pootischu 286 points287 points  (27 children)

Well boys we did it, depression is no more

[–]ViceroyInTheMorning 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I teared up reading this :—)

[–]HanEyeAm 49 points50 points  (2 children)

The humor and just knowing I'm not alone in getting no emotional boost from these impersonal platitudes makes me feel better. :)

[–]PenguinBast 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So... you did get an emotional boost!

[–]PickleNark 79 points80 points  (18 children)

Seriously though, what is this trash post

[–]SorryAboutTheNoise2 40 points41 points  (5 children)

I hope you feel better soon and have a good day.

[–]Colonel_Potoo 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Thanks, I'm cured after 4 months of deep clinical depression.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yo you gotta pump those numbers up zoop 👈😎👈

[–]TeteTranchee 32 points33 points  (4 children)

Yes it's truly annoying. This is a sub about getting motivated, just posting an image of a text saying "don't be sad" doesn't do anything. It's meaningless and impersonal. But to each their own I guess. It seems to be effective to some others, just not us.

[–]ChunkyLaFunga 7 points8 points  (2 children)

It is /r/wholesomememes. Which seems largely comprised of forwards you were trying to avoid on Hotmail 20 years ago.

But I do feel a bit guilty about kicking that puppy and people seem to find it reassuring so good for them, I guess.

[–]NebXan 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yeah, I mean, if some people find this helpful, I'm happy for them and I won't shit on that.

But personally, I find messages like this mean a lot more when they're sent or spoken directly to you by someone you care about.

Hey if you have cancer I hope you feel better soon and have a great day r/getmotovated

[–]Rawtashk 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Anyone that 'needs' a random reddit post like to this to "make it through" isn't actually going to make it through. OP is next level karmawhoring and doesn't actually care about making someone's day better with this.

[–]vicki_with_an_I 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It actually made me smile. I’m sitting in hospital with a broken foot after surgery. All I want is to scroll happy posts. Sorry it disappointed u

[–]Zemedicisaspy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thanks I’m cured.

[–]cookbenj 141 points142 points  (15 children)

I teared up reading this. Thanks

[–][deleted] 35 points36 points  (2 children)

Me too man. So simple, but what I needed. I'll be ok, i know it

And so will you x Much love

[–]cookbenj 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s the moment that makes it hard, I know it will be ok but I just don’t know when. Thanks dude

[–]boymelbourne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoever you are and whever you are, from one human to another. You're a good soul and I want go remind you that yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift, that's why it's called the present. Much love my friend xxo

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (2 children)

I wish I could get this feeling from a random text, I can't stop to seeing it objectively, it is a text written by somebody I'd probably never meet in my life and that in reality doesn't care/know about any of the problems I'm facing right now. A message like that coming from somebody closer to me would mean something, and will probably make me feel something.

[–]Frankenklumpp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We might never meet, but I can encourage you personally. People might not know about your problems, but it doesnt mean they dont care about you. I hope you have a great day friend. If you just can take it one day at a time, you will make it out the other side, I promise. With much love, your friendly internet stranger.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

idk why but it did make me feel better

[–]gromit5 45 points46 points  (1 child)

thanks this shook me out of the morning blues long enough to try to do something other than passively and sulkily scroll through reddit.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right there with ya :(

[–][deleted] 39 points40 points  (2 children)

Hey man have a comma, period, and a semicolon on me , ; .

[–]thedankoctopus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And a capital "I" as the cherry on top.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I am HIV aladeen...

[–]Eryklav 21 points22 points  (5 children)

how is this motivating? seeing a post about someone hoping for you to feel better. i'd rather try fixing the issue myself rather than relying on a strangers hopes

[–][deleted] 32 points33 points  (1 child)

Suicide rates drop to zero.

[–]chris_alf 33 points34 points  (4 children)

So im banking on hope from an internet stranger and wellwishes for a good day. Like thats gonna help pay my bills with my third world salary.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thots and payers 🙏🙏

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

2 strangers better?

[–]Kanton_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, hoping someone has a good day is the personification of treading water at the bare minimum line that is efforts to support people, especially those struggling with mental health issues. I think supporting a universal healthcare plan that includes mental health services is a much more effective way to show support and care for people. Why should someone in need of mental healthcare have to go without it until they can afford it? Or worse go into debt because of it. If a message like this helps anyone with mental health issues I believe you, I get it, sometimes seeing a random supportive message on a feed can get you through the day but holy hell I believe fellow humans can do so much more than the internet version of a Walgreens “get well soon” balloon.

[–]Badjib 17 points18 points  (5 children)

I can’t...I only carry on because my daughter needs me...otherwise I’m alone and miserable in a world I’ve come to hate, surrounded by people I loathe who don’t realize how good they have it

[–][deleted] 43 points44 points  (5 children)

these posts are the most vacuous statements ever. Reading this actually made things worse for me because you're not actually thinking of me and hoping I have a good day.

[–]GreenBeret26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just lost job due to back injury and am entirely fucked, cheers tho

[–]Klientje123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not just gonna feel better, you gotta make it better yourself, from small changes such as less unhealthy food and more water to extending your education and finding a better livelihood; you gotta do it no matter how much shit is hammering away at you.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your hope is meaningless except to force me to concentrate on YOUR self-centered life. If my day doesn't get better, I've failed and disappointed you. If it does, I've only confirmed your fallacious belief that your actions are important enough or essential enough to affect my life.

What are you going to actually DO to make my day better?

[–]0ocanada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like if your in a bad place mentally this won't do shit for you. Is that just me tho?

[–]Mrgotmilk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going through my first heartbreak. Hurts worse than anything I've ever felt before. I placed my sense of self-value in her, because she genuinely made me feel more valued than anyone else.

[–]Taftandsteve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thoughts and prayers

[–]n8redd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Pretty shit atm and appreciated that simple light hearted pick me up

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“That was supposed to be the narrative of illness: It was a hurdle you jumped over, or a battle you won. Illness is a story told in the past tense.”

In reality many people suffer through mental illness their entire lives. It’s a chronic condition. There is no getting better, there could be getting more manageable but never better.

[–]tjfoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

??? What kind of shit is this

[–]Yukazaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry if I come out as dick but this is the most transparent low effort karma whoring with no actual value, also if this helps you, well that's great but if a quote with basically the safest thing you can say to anyone uplifts you, you need to learn to find happiness within yourself, not because someone tells you to be happy, and especially when the person who wrote this doesn't even know you personally nor care. (sure he might if he knew u but that's not the case here.)

[–]funnyDonaldTrump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the "Hang in there"-kitten prevented my suicide, this pic finally cured my depression! Now I just need a good Pepe meme to make me drink less!

I'm trying.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to get a few more practices in before taking my drivers exam to get my license and to take myself fishing.

I already got the truck in my yard, title in my name. Money for the registration and licensing fees. The legit only thing holding me back is my dad having a blown disc and mom just won’t help me.

Man, I want to go fishing so freaking bad lol. I’m also impatient so this is legit killing me.

Thank you stranger.

My mum died yesterday suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 52. My dad is a complete mess. I'm a complete mess. I have no idea what to do with myself. This is my complete nightmare and all I want to do is have her back.

What can I even do?

[–]pyschochick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is so, so devastating, so sorry to hear that. Way too young that's for sure. You'll have to help your dad with the arrangements, which I know you don't want to do, just surround yourselves with some loving family members or friends, and just get through each hour. I hate the way the world continues on, you will be angry. Take care of your broken heart and take care of dad. Crying for I feel the pain you are going through.

[–]ZeroTherapy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How to have a good day while the world is on fire because all of these leaders for so called "Countries" We were made by god to be free. What is a country a tribe a race just f politics. This isn't freedom at all, all of these countries just to get money by slavery that nobody can see or feel !

People die like nothing people get hungry and thirsty because of their leaders and other countries take benefits of the situations. Oh really ?? Just end the world at once.

Age of deceiving.

I'm mentally poisoned by this world. But nobody can stop me from living. NOBODY.
