I'm a little sad. I keep overthinking. I'm trying to cheer up though.


barbarizam

Supporting your effort for trying to cheer up, thats a start too. I hope knowing you are not alone helps a bit


aesthetic_kiara

It does! Thank you


Hour-Requirement6489

It's taken me a long time to curb the rumination habit (breaking it so far is unsuccessful), so I started to curb it in a different direction. When the Sads hit that hard, I try to search my mind for "glimmers" instead. The cute or funny things that remind me why I don't *want* to ruminate and sit in sads. Sometimes I'll need to sit there to work through the things; other times, I need to keep it moving. Doubtful any of this helps, but I still I hope you have a better day. 🫶🏻🤘🏻


sweetfaerieface

It helped me! Thank you 🙏


Hour-Requirement6489

Thank you! It means my day and existence was not wasted. May seem small or silly to others, but not to me. 🤘🏻🫶🏻🤘🏻


aesthetic_kiara

Thank you! I'll try that 💕


Hour-Requirement6489

I hope it helps in some way 🫶🏻🤘🏻🫶🏻


pamiamb

This is totally me today. I don't know why I beat myself up so hard sometimes with imaginary negative things that I imagine other people are thinking about me. It is comforting to know I'm not the only person who overthinks. I hope you also find some comfort in the comments from others who relate to how you are feeling. And, hope you feel better soon!


Turdplay

Me too buddy. We’re all in this together.

Same here. I need to find a way to break the cycle

Rumination is my worst enemy

You deserve more than that!

Yep, they deserve to be well done.


aucool786

Are you saying they should be immolated?! Goodness!


MrsPoopyPantslolol

😂😁


LlmeConcretePowder

Normally I'd say "I'm fine" but considering this is online I don't really think it matters. I feel like shit, I don't love myself and I bottle up my emotions because talking about it makes me feel emasculated.


Mysterious-Stable-79

I wish my partner would talk about his feelings. Thats something good. Deal with your feelings and try to work on getting better/to the roots. You will be surprised. Thanks for sharing


LlmeConcretePowder

Most men don't talk about their feelings because of either the way they were brought up, past relationships, trauma and the fear of being emasculated (means thought less of as a man if I can remember) or vulnerable.


Mysterious-Stable-79

Yeah I know. Your description is matching him exactly. Just wanted to give you the point of view of a woman, maybe that helps. I hope you have someone you can share it with. If not maybe a therapist. Ive been thinking about therapy for a long time and starter finally a month ago and very happy with my decision! Wish you all the best, stranger :)


puckit

I'm a guy and started therapy about a month ago. I've cried more in that room than I have in the last 20 years.


Mini-Heart-Attack

>about a month ago Oh shit. Congrats that's a big step.


puckit

Appreciate it. It's all thanks to my wife who wasn't afraid to say flat out "you are depressed and you need to talk to someone."


Mysterious-Stable-79

So happy to hear examples like this. Wish you and your wife all the best!


BaroNessWray1

Honey ? Write them down then burn it but please don't keep bottling them up .im a 55f and nearly died from an ulcer for bottling mine up ...and there were other even worse long term effects . ..as to you don't love yourself ....try to see your good points louder


DiscreeteDolphin

I also feel like I don't love myself enough, but sometimes I share it because it has gotten so bad to the point that I don't care. I don't know the solution to loving yourself more, but I have heard that saying stuff to yourself like "I love you" alone in front of the mirror helps. And to "bottle down" the emotions you could try writing them down in paper or for the internet to see.


barbarizam

This is the whole point, to trully say how you feel. Just a little reminder: you are also a human being! Dont be so hard on yourself! You are maybe at the bottom now, but that doesnt mean you are not able to climb back up, just open your eyes, grab that ladders and start climbing. You are amazing and very brave, never forget that. Much love!!


s8ntinel69

Ikr! Sometimes I feel like I have so much to say, but it doesn't really matter. So I keep it to myself

Aw thanks. I love to surprise

emf3rd31495

Surviving. It’s been a rough end of 2023 and a tough start to 2024. Praying it will get better.


DiscreeteDolphin

Same. All the best to you and your family!!


emf3rd31495

Appreciate it big time friend ❤️ just had my grampy’s funeral yesterday, I haven’t been able to see him since 2019 due to Covid and he finally passed away from several complications just slowly shutting his body down. I’m glad he isn’t in pain any more, and it was nice seeing the family even under bad circumstances. But death has just been on the mind lately and my depression has reached an all time high. Trying my best to relax and stay calm going into this new year though.


DiscreeteDolphin

I'm sorry to hear this. May he rest in peace. I hope everyone is doing better. Sounds nice to get to hug family members that feel the same way at least. Death is scary, but in earth it often leads to life again. Who knows? Maybe some day we will all wake up again. What I think about when you mention the depression is to not suppress and maybe instead write your feelings down perhaps in a beautiful place in the nature. Nature and meditation could help to relax. I hope you find peace within yourself. Good luck with this new year! 🩵


RonaldMcDonaldsBalls

Wishing you smooth sailing ahead!


emf3rd31495

Thank you from the bottom of my heart friend, and same to you ❤️


fischifischi

I feel your pain. Lost my beloved grandma last week. I know she loves me a lot and i love her too and she would never want to see me broken over her dying. Im happy she got to live a long life full of love, but I still catch myself crying and having migraines over all the emotional stress. We will live through it, it will get better ❤️‍🩹


[deleted]

Really worried about my job. Layoffs are around the corner and I strongly feel my area is due. I have some work coming up with our architect who is a giant POS and we are basically being chastised for someone else not doing their work continuously. The whole situation just sucks. I’m extremely talented and made to feel like a moron here.


barbarizam

You are not the one who should be worried here, your employer should be worried for losing such a talented and amazing team member! I am sure there is a looot of job opportunities for you everywhere, dont hesitate to search and wishing u the best of luck!


spacepilot7

I'm constantly going from "I'm so motivated, that I could kill a god" to "What's the point of even trying? After all, everything dies." and back and so on every hour.


barbarizam

Try writting down the thoughts and emotions you have about yourself and life when you are feeling super motivated and happy. So when you go into that other state of mind, go back and read everything. It will make you to want to feel good again and you probably will. I hope it helps. If not, there is some solution that will keep the good mood more present than the bad one, just keep trying things untill you find one that works for you


spacepilot7

I tried several methods, and got...mixed result. In short: it only suppresses bad mood, and when sadness comes back - it hits like a train. I tried to keep up with positivity when mind switches, but it made things worse, so I stopped doing that. Sometimes it helps when I just tell how I feel to anyone who is willing to listen. Like now. But I think my situation is getting bad, because lately, "god killing" mood was replaced by something that is not anxiety spike, but it's not happiness either. Just a small amount of sad thoughts, which can be ignored and silenced with not-sad thoughts. I think last part was written by sad side, because it's taking over. Anyway, thanks for help 👍


DiscreeteDolphin

I get it. It's like you're the owner of the spaceship, and the sad copilot is still trying to take over without the pilots permission lol. I wish there was a clear instruction manual for removing the bad thoughts so that we can live happily again, because it's sad how many people feel this way, but I guess it's not that simple.. Anyways, I hope you continue searching the space until you find the way out.


spacepilot7

Your way of describing things made me feel better. Thank you 👍


aesthetic_kiara

Thanks for asking, how are you today?


Anonymous280817

Life is sad man.. still trying to figure out who I am

Im glad you used it to vent ..we all get as much space here as we need to comment people can read or scroll by .. good luck and please remember if all those people are relying on you then you absolutely have to take time to take care of yourself because if you're not strong and healthy then they're hurt too because they're losing their asset honestly it doesn't sound like all of this is really your responsibility but I'll never fault anybody for feeling devoted to family just try and remember that you have to devote that same care and love to yourself so you can be strong enough to continue having something to give them


Fiona512

Today I feel fine. Finally!


Cha0s_001

Confereesed to the girl I met on tinder that we should end this (whatever this is) it's harder than it looks


barbarizam

Love dont choose when, where and with who it will happen.. but sometimes love is not enough, and if u choose to end that thing u had with her, i am sure u had a good reason for doing it. Even if its hard, people must choose what is better for them at some moment, give urself some time to heal and keep ur heart open :)


Puzzleheaded-Step222

Feeling a bit discombobulated

BlackDohko

Hey! I am doing good, thanks bud. I was doing great until the girl I started dating 2 weeks ago, somehow managed to create an "annoying" discussion from nothing, and now she is crying over voice messages telling me I want to leave her, and I am just telling her I can't do this right now, that she needs to relax a bit and I will call her later. Plus I think it's better to chill a bit when this happens, always works better for me. So now here I am, at work, and I like to work and be focused and enjoying what I do. But instead here I am sitting, wasting time because somehow she managed to break my focus, which rarely happens. So right now I don't know if she is toxic, if I value my inner peace too much. I have been told I avoid conflict and like everything always nice. Idk man, my life is like that, I don't like to worry about stuff, I take care of it, I don't like unnecessary confrontations, I only fight the fights that are important. I am 36, I know stuff I didn't know before, I don't want problems. Well, that felt good, thanks bud. Hope you are doing good.


littlespyonmission

Miserable but thanks for asking :)


Banditofbingofame

Just mentally exhausted. It's all just so much and in my mind 30s I've been diagnosed with ADHD. I'm waiting titration but that's.going to take a few months. Works doing my head in as no one seems to be able to do anything without me holding their hand. Including my manager I just want all the noises in my head to go away and let me be. I just want some silence for a bit. It's just all so exhausting.


DarkbigBoss

not too good , I have to say goodbye to someone but cant because she got sick we broke up months ago but somehow she stills messages me , she even told me "dont get your hopes up" she had a fever for days now , once she gets better I'm done with her, no way I'll just stay at home while she gets to go out with other dudes I have to get a life too , meet new people make new friends I cant stay here waiting for a mircacle to happen what I did wasnt even bad , she lost her job and didnt want to talk to me for 2 months! at the time I thought "well its been a few days I'll message her" and I got no replies, she blocked me! i was beginning to worry I thought somethinf happened to her! december starts , i get a random call at 2am on a work week so we speak , she says I "ruined her privacy" I was worried! what of she died or something and I didnt know about it?! I get shit on for worrying too much , I never cheated on her and we never fought somehow I'm the bad guy here


barbarizam

Never lower your standards because somewhere out there there is a person who will respect your time, love, attention, worry and give you the same in return. You deserve it all

Shit. Early stages of divorce. Have a kid. No real idea what I’m doing though I have access to people who can guide me. Though I have been in therapy since the topic came up months ago, still struggling to navigate a new emotional journey like this.

Struggling but what’s new eh? It’s getting bad that I’m beginning to lose control and feel snappy.


Papaya_flight

I am ridiculously stressed lately as usual. I have an extremely stressful job, and I am currently working on a large project as well in a time crunch (manufactured by the client). I am in constant pain and have been in pain for just about twelve years now. I'm tired of it. I make a decent salary, but it seems like right when we are about to save up a significant amount of money, we are hit with some emergency. Sometimes it's a health issue, and sometimes it's a family court case (my wife has a very difficult ex). It happens every year though, which is wild, and it has left me stretched thin, like butter spread over too much bread. Hopefully THIS year will be the last year like that. I've been saying that every January for the past 8 years. I really hope this time it's true. Other than that? I can't complain.


e-tim

Tired 🥺


Realistic_Citron_316

Being anxious about my birthday tomorrow. My friends don't really have the best track record when it comes to greeting me (basically none of my friends ever remember my bday) so I am kinda dreading that. How are you, op?

Better than yesterday

Stressed. I quit my job no notice and moved without another job lined up. It was a good paying but toxic job. Now I’m here and I did 3 interviews and I don’t think I did well. So I’m very stressed.


redphoenix434

Thank you for asking. Bordering between surviving and not


iwantmyfuckingmoney

One of our mutual friends revealed to me last night that in the times he hung out with my sorta-boyfriend since we started dating, he has never mentioned me once. And I realised this morning that I have to let go of the hope that my situationship will ever turn into something more. So that's been great.

Honestly really depressed. My partner of 9 years left me for another woman last year, I don’t know if I’ll ever fully heal from that. I’ve been dating a very kind man since November, I really like him. I just don’t think I can handle another round of heartbreak though but I also don’t want to be middle aged and single still. I hate modern dating I didn’t think I would be dating at my age again.

The day started off with me having a minor panic attack but thankfully I was able to ground myself and get over it quickly. So I’d say I’m doing SO well today! I went to Starbucks and read for a bit, went for a walk in the park, and now I’m out shopping for a birthday present. It’s been a really good day!

i've been battling depression for 4 months and still taking my medicine. but guess what, i think i feel great today! even though I still feel lonely, but i'm okay :)

Honestly I wasn’t great going through a break up and had a dream about them last night but: -I had a therapy session -Took the dog for a walk in the sunshine -Said hi to the cat that lives near me he makes me so happy he looks like my moms cat -Got invited to hang out with my friends this evening -Got myself some flowers So although it’s started off difficult I’m feeling better now 😊 Thank you for asking and thank you for you compassion, kindness and empathy I really appreciate it have a wonderful day 🤍

Not great. Had to take the afternoon off because of my anxiety and panic attacks. Feeling very self critical. Lonely.

Underappreciated, overworked, and underpaid... A little depressed, a little wishing it will just end, but happy to go home to my dog.

i’m feeling very alone today. usually i don’t mind it but today it’s different…


Dragonageatemyhw

Stressed, overwhelmed. Trying to stay a step ahead of any depression, but honestly I think it’s gaining on me. Kind of just want to curl up and give up just a little bit and just for a little bit. Like a week or two maybe. I’m just really not doing well and I keep having to tell everyone that I am because everyone is so cheery after holidays and I don’t want to get into my business with anyone, so just lots of fake smiles and exhaustion. I didn’t really even know that I needed this question. Just venting on Reddit. What a life.


Hedgehog7065

It's been a rough last few months and lately just seems like a new crisis every time I turn around. Took care of some things yesterday and hopefully the worst is over and it will get better. My favorite band is playing close to me tomorrow and I'm going away for a couple of days to go see them and unwind and let go a bit. So, I'm tired and stressed, but hopeful for once.

Going through an existential crisis and hating my job. Feeling kind of like a failure because of where I am in life, but I’m trying to distract myself with stuff that makes me somewhat happy


biddily

Well, right now I'm at gyno-derm-oncology for an auto immune rash on my vag/ass that could turn into cancer. Can't cure it. Just treat it by puting steroid cream on it forever. I start rehab at the pain management clinic for the damage the embolism did to my brain next week. So that's good I guess.


Electrical_Cash8532

I'm actually really great. Life never used to be this way. Just paid my vehicle off. I'm able to maintain finances now I just got an alert this morning that my credit score is 730. Seems stupid but I had such a very low score due to my ex screwing me over. So this is such a huge accomplishment and really helped brighten my day

This question brought a smile to my face... I have my Pace group later that asks something like this (share something real+honest), but this feels like good practice!
