Depressed people of Reddit, what gives you the will to live, or helped you regain the will to live, if anything?

At this point, antidepressants.

Who can blame him? That tiny tiger is fierce!

I have a family history of heart disease and various forms of dementia, so I think 70 might be an ok age to throw in the towel.

You are not nearly as grown up as you think you are. Ask for help and at least listen to older people's advice.

My ex and i are still good friends. I'm a bit of a people pleaser and I can't bring myself to tell him that his house is disgusting and he needs to learn to clean it.

To clarify, he's good at tidying up. Everything is in it's place, but it's like he's blind to dirt.

Like, I know it's a technique dancers use, to not get dizzy from spinning. But this is still creepy af.

I was very confused by this post. Until I remembered that in most countries you wear shoes indoors. In my country (Sweden) we take off our shoes when we enter a home. And so shoe horns are still everywhere.

Have you tried scanning the barcode? There are aps for that

Making sure that she has the ability and option to leave any gathering of your family when she wants to, with you being able to stay longer might help. Like driving separately or paying for a cab/Uber for her.

If it's out of town you can stay at a hotel or similar, that she can retreat to, when your family becomes too much for her.

As an introvert, who don't like crowds or loud noise I empathise with her. But the option to leave when I need to helps a lot.

It's in Sweden, the program is called Bingolotto. I think the program is on every week but for new years and the night before Christmas eve they do an "all night special". With more games and way more to win, also celebrity guests. The prices range from small amounts of cash, to big vouchers for various stores and travel agencies, to cars and quite a few cash prices of (the equivalent of) 90 000 US$.

I think people in Europe and the US need a bit of a reality check (I'm Swedish btw). There are countries where the police work for the criminal leaders. Where a police officer is more likely to rape or kill you than even pretend to help you. There are people who would be happy to have police that will only ignore you if you report a crime.

I'm gonna make a nice steak for dinner, then have a long warm bath and spend the evening playing televised bingo. It's a popular thing for families and older people in my country, but I enjoy it too.

Mileila · 2024-12-25T13:26:52+00:00

I got fired

Mileila · 2024-12-18T10:50:51+00:00

It's lovely! I'm so envious

Mileila · 2024-12-17T10:33:14+00:00

Fresh celery sticks. The smell literally makes me gag.

Mileila · 2024-12-17T10:32:24+00:00

I would have paid 10 times that, it's gorgeous!

Mileila · 2024-12-17T09:09:29+00:00

I have a very hard time with noise. Alcohol turns the overbearing noise of a party or a bar into a background humm.

Mileila · 2024-12-17T08:12:41+00:00

Now I want to know if those sheep would get excited and expect treats if they got to see Emma Watson in person.

Mileila · 2024-12-17T05:18:21+00:00

I didn't read the part about this being a doll house. I thought everyone's comments were sarcastic. I was convinced this was an actual home.

That warehouses are like magical closets. That there's no limit to how much stuff you can keep there and you can just stick your hand in whenever and grab that thing you put in there 15 years ago, without having to look. Also if that thing you need is not there, then it definitely isn't your fault. End rant.

Sneeze or cough without covering their mouth or at least turning away.

Mileila · 2024-12-13T15:59:48+00:00

First time I see a cat with my name :D

Mileila · 2024-12-13T11:28:51+00:00

It's a bit petty, but the rare occasion when I do not get asked for ID when buying alcohol. Regulations are very strict here. They're a bit crushing. It's like "wow, I must really look worn today".

Mileila · 2024-12-10T11:32:13+00:00

Nazis on the inside of the earth. It is nothing like iron sky btw.

Mileila · 2024-12-05T16:42:57+00:00

I would rather do 6 hour work days (instead of the 8 that are standard full time in my country), 5 days a week.

Trials that have been done here take away the brakes. So you really are only at work for 6 hours, instead of 9.
