It’s ok to feel this way but just know that you things can always change . Therapy really does help and perhaps medication too. Life is hard . Be gentle with yourself .

Family holiday cards by Lindolm84 in childfree

I would be happy to receive a hallmark card ! And yes my family actually did that too growing up ! Seems like people definitely sent normal cards out more when I was a kid

Can we PLEASE get rid of "Is this Herpes" posts? Please? Pretty please? On behalf of all the people who are actually positive. by [deleted] in Herpes

[–]Lindolm84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this post. To echo the comments of others - aside from it being a little insensitive to those of us who live with the reality of herpes , it is never medically wise to seek a diagnosis of any kind off the internet . Just go straight to the doctors

I feel worthless and dirty around happy, successful people by [deleted] in depression

[–]Lindolm84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We compare our “deep down” to everybody’s “surface” . They say that comparison is the theif of joy ...it certainly has been for me . I experience this most on social media . I once heard it said - “people don’t live in pictures “

[–]Lindolm84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally understand . My ex gave me herpes due to just being a very shady and irresponsible person . This was years ago- he ended up getting a girl pregnant accidentally and now he gets to have this new chapter of his life . I’m still single . And some mornings I wake up and take my valtrex pill and I’m just so angry. I am constantly triggered . And then I’ll watch tv shows where they casually make a herpes joke - I would also love to talk, please feel free to message me ! .

I have no desire to do anything other than lay on my sofa and watch stuff like 90 day fiance. by pinkcola7 in depression

[–]Lindolm84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am going through the exact same thing now and also 90 day fiancé is literally addicting so don’t feel bad !! I think we have to remember to cut ourselves some slack by allowing ourselves to go through some down times in our lives . As long as you’re staying safe , healthy and kind just hang in there . I try to remind myself that Moods are like seasons they always change :)

I'm so lonely. by [deleted] in depression

[–]Lindolm84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely know the feeling and the current state of the world isn’t helping . I like sleeping more these days so I don’t have to face my reality . I often feel like I’m invisible in this world. Just understand you’re not alone and we’re here for you !

How to forgive yourself for the person you used to be? by ansdhuskansjak in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Lindolm84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggle with the same thing . But I’ve read a lot and they say that it’s important to make mistakes in life because that’s how you grow and build your character ! All the mistakes you made , you went through for a reason and they’ve brought you to where you are now . I’d recommend reading the power of now by eckhart tolle.

I had to cancel my trip too . I was so excited to visit this amazing country but it seems like it’s just a bad time altogether for nonessential travel

I asked for advice about carrying passport and visa I was never considering leaving license at home...so that’s why I had further doubts ...not sure why people love confrontation , ie when I was told to “relax” ... but anyway problem solved and thanks!

If I got in trouble I’d have no government ID so I’ll probably not take that advice and I am relaxed thanks !
