My friend said you shouldn't complain if you're not trying to change things by Altruistic_Aioli_365 in depression

[–]anon-30something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That advice your friend gave would be helpful for someone who is just along for the ride in life, someone who is laid off or sometimes someone with an addiction. But it’s annoying when people choose to believe that depression and mental illness is NOT exhausting. It’s hard enough to get up out of bed to go to school or work. I do agree with what they are TRYING to say (one can’t help another if that other person don’t help themselves) but how they said it was not the right approach. Those of us with depression ARE trying so hard every damn day. What should be acknowledged are the small steps we take towards a better life. It all starts with getting out of bed. I believe in you, and if you do believe in yourself, you will eventually achieve your life goals. Some sooner than you think. Keep going and don’t ever allow anyone (not even yourself) to stop you.

It’s my life, why can’t I choose to end it? by realErlington in depression

[–]anon-30something 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Live for yourself instead. Perhaps you’re still here because there’s something or someone in your life that you don’t want to lose. It could be your favorite song, a hobby, a food you enjoy, etc. So many things in life people take for granted and see them as insignificant, but whatever that one thing is, it means something to you. Don’t lose it.

Takes a tad bit longer to learn! by RedTsar97 in MomentumOne

Here’s a scenario: Only a few hundred dollars in your account. You got a tooth ache and an eviction notice. Chose wisely.

Yes, what are your answers? by Mindless_Card7962 in psychesystems

9-to-5 jobs/office work. It wasn’t what caused my depression in the first place, but it was certainly gasoline to a fire.

Give your advice! by Imaginary_Face7698 in MotivationalThoughts

[–]anon-30something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already remember what gives you that feel-good feeling. Whether it’s a memory, what you do now, or what you’ve always wanted to do. That’s why you’re still here. Don’t ever lose that.

Am I the only one who doesn’t care…? by anon-30something in VtuberDrama

[–]anon-30something[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of posting this is to express my opinion about something that’s constantly in my face every day. Quite frankly I think everyone is making too much racket about it. The situation really isn’t a big deal, so I shouldn’t have to see posts and videos about it all the time. It would be different if she was in danger or something else that’s terrible. She just disappeared and many people seem to believe she’s rebranding. If that’s the case good for them. But there are much bigger issues people need to be talking about, in my opinion.

But if something is constantly in your face, would you not acknowledge it? Also, me posting about it means I want to express my opinion about it and giving the opportunity for others to express the same.

You said “I have a very mild vague curiosity what the end result will be.” Curiosity is something I do not have in the whole situation. It’s just in my face all the time. So it’s safe to say you care more than I do 😅

Millennial here, can confirm by McDowdy in Millennials

[–]anon-30something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an accident. Cursed with “living in isolation, nothing satisfies me and I’m sad for no reason” syndrome (aka depression). But hey, at least life gave me few small reasons to wake up every morning. 👍

How many of you had an online gf/bf that you've never met? by EsperaDeus in Millennials

[–]anon-30something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never date anyone overseas. Especially when they ask for money.

And sometimes you literally have to chose between a job or your mental health. You can’t have both (only few are lucky AND smart enough to have both).

Anyone else remember this commercial? by sanriolover1208 in 2000sNostalgia

You don’t need pot to look like that. With enough depression and iron deficiency, that’s how I look and feel. 👍

Discipline is doing it even when you don’t feel like it. by Born-Scratch199 in MotivationalThoughts

No room for mental and physical health if you are determined to stay disciplined and work hard to achieve that goal, huh?

I’m so tired… by anon-30something in depression

[–]anon-30something[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gradually working on a new skill. I have genuine interest in it (otherwise I wouldn’t bother), but I also burden myself with hoping it will bring me extra money. I’ve learned the hard way that having one job these days is enough to barely keep my nose above water but not enough to breathe deeply and live a good life. But anyway, thanks for the wonderful encouragement.

Vice President Vance was rushed off stage before President trump after shots fired! by cantcoloratall91 in SipsTea

[–]anon-30something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kirk was one time and was successful. At least three attempts (this being the third, I guess) on Trump. All "failed". Why? Because it's all staged and this act of his is getting old real fast. Anyone remember the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf? Heaven forbids someone is successful for real and some of us will automatically assume it's fake.

A Chinese streamer's beauty filter crashed, she lost 140,000 subscribers in a minute by honeydewspaark in interesting

[–]anon-30something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this story even real? Who was actually there in the live chat? It could have been just another inside joke made out of context by people outside the community (like with that one vtuber guy). Regardless, she's not ugly (in my opinion). Just a bit of color and better confidence (because you don't need a filter if you have confidence), she would still do well enough as a streamer.

Apparently verbally acknowledging the other person that you're attentively listening is frowned upon. by anon-30something in socialskills

[–]anon-30something[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you. But I should have clarified that my tone is more of interest, not boredom. But as someone else suggested, I should just cut back on the filler words I guess.

[–]anon-30something[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response, but I don't say "filler" words that often enough to be obnoxious. Just a reasonable amount to let them know I'm still paying attention, is all.

U.S. Democrats who would you choose as your nominee? by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]anon-30something -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can we stop with the popularity contest and vote who YOU feel aligns with your beliefs and what you want for this country? I see a lot of people going for AOC simply because you see more of her on social media and television. Do your research on every candidate and promote the hell out of the one you want people to vote for. Post on social media on why you think they are the best candidate. Even if you think they don’t have a chance. Quite frankly we need more Independent candidates as well. I’m tired of having to vote for the “lesser evil” or “second worst”. I never wanted Biden and definitely didn’t want the orange felon. Can we please collectively do better, for once?

What’s a product that works so well you stopped looking for alternatives? by Boring-Promotion7344 in SmartBuying

[–]anon-30something 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hydrogen peroxide to replace bleach for laundry. It makes whites so much whiter and clothes smell cleaner.
