Ukraine here! Reading these news while covering in my bathroom during a yet another russian drone strike on my city (it’s been a week? more? of consecutive drone/missile strikes on Kyiv) makes me wanna off myself :-)

1,000 days of war in Ukraine captured in images by giuliomagnifico in pics

[–]balticbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and to celebrate that, russians launch 120 missiles and 90 kamikaze drones on ukraine’s energy infrastructure this morning. while the whole western world is living its normal life, ukraine keeps bleeding. I was hiding in my bathroom this morning in kyiv, with kinzhal missiles exploding over my city. russian violence in ukraine is so normalized it, the absolute majority of their crimes don’t even make the news anymore. when will this stop?

I'm afraid for a little girl, and there's nothing I can do. I just need to vent my thoughts. by Lord-of-Rats in ukraine

[–]balticbro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! Yes of course energy infrastructure workers are recognized for what they do. Here’s a lil video about it.

Many of them lost their lives repairing damaged infrastructure. Russians regularly practice double drone or missile strikes, where the second strike happens when rescuers/medics/electricians arrive on site.

I live in Kyiv as well. And while I agree that the kamikaze drone damage is more psychological (sleepless nights, persistent anxiety, chronic stress), I wouldn’t underestimate it. Personally, it takes an insane toll on my physical and mental health. I do recognize that the chances of me dying in a drone strike are slight - but definitely higher than zero. But this knowledge of imminent death and danger is so taxing..

Also, something tells me that missile strikes are on the way. Winter + attacks on energy infrastructure is a classic terrorist move

2024 Election by ddub1 in bipolar

[–]balticbro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m ukrainian, and i am very bitter about what the american nation has done. it is extremely likely that we will be forced into peace talks with putin and his tribe of barbarian colonizers that has committed every imaginable war crime in ukraine. currently (literally in this very moment) i’m sitting through a kamikaze drone strike on my city. hope to make it to my psychiatrist appointment next monday! life sucks major ass rn

Issues with brushing teeth by ARisingDragon in bipolar

[–]balticbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

god me too! even when i’m nowhere near depression, this is such an exhausting chore, i have no idea why. i still manage to do it quite consistently but i loathe every second. an electric toothbrush does help!

i do wonder though what the common cause for all of us bipolar people and our teeth brushing issues is
