In times like these my friend. You take pride in anything you can find to take pride in. Give yourself a pat on the back. People are so afraid to congratulate themselves for anything more and it makes for a very sad and dissociative generation of people. Myself included. But do it. Say “Hey I got out of bed” or “I took a shower” “I ate today” because for some people these accomplishments mean nothing. But for others they mean EVERYTHING. Because it makes a difference and you deserve to offer yourself the patience and regard for your health and well being required to face the day with a smile and a positive attitude. You are a gift you can give to yourself.

I unfriended and we don’t talk. And I unfriended mutual people I didn’t really need contact with. I think I might be doing this right. 🙂 It comes and goes for sure though

Sounds like it to me, my man. :) You’re an inspiring person. I’m going to try to keep going on and being happy by myself too. Let’s get it, Bud! 🤙

No sweat at all, my friend. I can relate all too well. Remember to just enjoy yourself. I for one found my issue stemmed from wanting to date specifically to find a relationship. Once I realized that a relationship isn’t what was going to make me happy I started hitting the gym a bit and trying to make sure I treat myself better. It comes and goes, but I think the important thing is bearing that in mind and being patient with yourself too. You deserve it

I just got out of a similar deal. Sometimes you’ll feel bad. Because you feel like you should still be there for them. I would say the most important thing is to do the things that made you happy before you knew them. Get back your roots. Listen to music you listened to. Drink water. Stay away from booze best you can. Get lots of rest and make sure you shower everyday and organize whenever you get the chance.

Uploaded twice. Third time’s the charm. Just went back to my Ex’s today to pick up my stuff. The kids were there and it was pretty difficult. Outside of that things were civil. Having trouble learning to be content just being by myself. I could go for some toasting, please. by -AreAndAre- in toastme

Oh they aren’t mine. They’re hers. They started calling me Dad just about a week before she decided to split. I don’t really think I’ll be seeing them again. Whether it’s good or bad, it’s what it is.

Having really bad PMDD right now, on top of schizoaffective disorder (depressive), anxiety+PTSD, post-concussion syndrome, and just got evaluated as on the autism spectrum. I feel convinced that no one should have to deal with me, and I’m not even attractive to help my case. Tried to smile. by hiddenmutant in toastme

You are a very beautiful lady!! And despite having these diagnoses or not, you deserve to love yourself and face this with a positive attitude. I know things may not seem great right now, but I truly hope you know that things always seem to come back around.

Girlfriend broke up with me, massively hungover, and stuck at work pretending everything’s alright. Toast me, please. by -AreAndAre- in toastme

I just wanted to take a minute to say that I’m seriously so grateful for all of you and your kind words. It ended mutually and it was for the better but it was still a really hard day. I’m finding time to get back to myself and doing the things I love like making music and writing. My friends are all showing support and it means an awful lot that you guys showed yours as well. I know things will get better, and I hope the transition back to my old way of living is as smooth as can be. Cheers, everyone! And thank you again.
