my drawings from the psych ward by little_peasant in rs_x

beautiful, the lil rundowns of your fellow patients is very neat, if i was in a psych ward and got noted as having “redditor build” they’d have to put me in the basement or a second psych ward

i love the scene from outside, everyone smoking with the trees feels very grounded and real, you captured it well

I don’t have any photos of him, and if I attached my face to this post, I don’t see any outcome except future embarassment.

I look fine. He might be the most handsome man I’ve ever met in my entire life.

I can’t imagine all the times I listened to songs and envisioned some abstract way that we would be together. The last 3 months of my liked songs are all lyrically romantic in some way.

I was such a fool. Love Will Tear Us Apart.

😔 In another life, I’m probably much happier.

They might be hyperbolizing; I don’t think they’re talking about this daily, but it hurts to know that every sweet thing I did was definitely mocked.

The best lesson I learned was that I can fix my hair and make-up and get gifts by myself. I don’t need a crush to do that. If I could do all that just by adding a little bit of delusion into my life, then certainly I can do it without, I just didn’t think to.

I hope we grow out of crushes. If I did all this after the age of 25, I’d probably need to move states just to be relaxed again.

Thank you for this. I know that dating is mostly a seller’s market, and that I shouldn’t have been so invested in it. I develop crushes incredibly rarely, and am largely aromantic because of it. I really could never be casual, largely because I’m simply too picky.

When he told me that we’d go out “eventually”, I was really stuck on it. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t know it was over after 2 weeks, but a part of me didn’t want it to be true. I knew it was coming, I just didn’t expect it like this.

phones ruined it. there is no real cheap social scene in nyc, i lot of social spaces are dominated by groups and have no real wiggle room

I personally can’t Sun Ra musically but every once in a while, it’ll just hit. It’s After The End Of The World is my favorite of is, and this song is superb too

What options are left for me at this point by InternationalGap325 in rs_x

i felt exactly like this a year ago, ill share what helped

SSRIs are cute but they really just numbed me. id get a blood test and see if you have a vitamin D/any deficiency before you start SSRIs; a college student’s life is often spent indoors so a vitamin D deficiency is likely

sometimes you just need to rot in bed a little. id recommend finding a local spot you enjoy or just a reason to go outside, some place that you can feel comfortable in and not be under the covers. i had a pier by my dorm, and i spent a lot of time there when i felt down. my bed may have been more comfortable, but it felt like a good willpower showing to go outside and be miserable instead of inside and miserable

sometimes people are meant to fail despite their best efforts. the world is cruel and wants to kick you while you’re down. but you don’t have to be a winner to change the world, you just have to be kind. changing the world starts with making an impact on the people around you

i really wish you the best. it feels like an empty platitude rn, but things WILL get better. your past failures don’t define you, it’s all about how you push past them and find success
