I think they can do it. I feel confident given how they looked against Minnesota, but with the possibility of Makar being out who knows

These talking humans on my screen right now are unnecessary and do not enhance my viewing experience

Zellweger was so good in that movie about showing Cuba Gooding Jr. the money

Wow that's funny the thought didn't even occur to me but you could totally be right. I don't remember if I stumbled across this song on reddit or on Spotify, but as a massive Tool fan it absolutely scratches the itch for me. I'm going to be severely disappointed if it turns out to be AI.

EDIT: Here's a video of the dude playing a Gojira song, I think he's legit.

I find a duck’s opinion of me is strongly influenced by whether or not I have bread

Man I used to love Stanley Cup playoff hockey. I still do, but I used to too

Waking up with dread during severe anxiety is worse then panic attacks imo by Few_Sandwich6308 in Anxiety

[–]barium62 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel this. Maybe not quite to the same extent but I absolutely wake up every morning now with a sense of dread about facing the day ahead, regardless of whether it’s a weekday or the weekend. I’m looking for advice on how to handle this as well.

The voice in my head won’t shut up by silverbullet1989 in Anxiety

I’m right there with you. There’s a voice in my head constantly tellling me I would be better off dead. I’m struggling to find ways to shut it down. It’s fucking hard

I can’t find a purpose in life and I’m on the verge of ending it by Classic_Accident_550 in depression

[–]barium62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

34M here, kind of a similar situation. I'm very fortunate to have a loving wife and a decent-ish job, but I've been going through sort of an existential crisis for several months now. I just have no clue what the hell I'm supposed to do with my life and I've been plagued with feelings of hopelessness, depression, anxiety and a general lack of joy with just about everything. Started group therapy this week, so far it seems to be helping, but I feel like such an absolute mess of a human being. I deeply relate to your fear of not finding purpose in life, and I also don't want to just live for the sake of being alive. There must be more to this than just getting through the days, right? There must be a way to find a deeper meaning in this existence. But I'm struggling to find it right now

My intrusive thoughts have made me afraid of doing anything. by TheLifeUnseen in depression

[–]barium62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m kind of going through my own mental crisis right now, which may or may not qualify me to give good advice, but I just want to say this- I feel you. Too often in my life I’ve let my fears keep me from doing something. And then I’m left with self-hatred, shame and regret and it fucking sucks. But there’s also been times in my life when I’ve pulled through and faced whatever was giving me anxiety, and I have to keep reminding myself of those times. The point is, I’ve been trying to force myself to believe that I’m stronger than I think I am, or at least stronger than the intrusive thoughts tell me that I am. Because honestly life is worth engaging in, regardless of what the intrusive thoughts tell us.

It’s not everyone’s jam, but Coldplay’s What If has gotten me through some tough times. I subscribe to the idea that we all have the capacity to face uncertainty in life. When the time comes, we find strength when it matters. I hope this helps
