Just know you have a whole forum backing you any day of the week when youâre feeling down. While itâs not a biological family, plenty of us here are willing to listen and hear what you have to say.
Family is very fickle and itâs never easy especially
when communicating with them.
Itâs okay to have feelings of self doubt especially when it comes to your future. Donât let that invalidate your dreams, goals, hopes, and aspirations. Not everything will come instantly and youâll fail in a lot of areas, but never give up. Look around and reassess how you will reach your goals. Maybe something just isnât working and you need to approach it differently. But whatâs important is you never gave up on your goals and dreams.
A whole community of people are here for you, it ainât much but we have a particular bald man and his handler weâre all passionate about.
Iâm sketching something now, before work. seeing where it goes, trying to forget about the portfolio thing for the moment.
That especially means a lot to hear at this moment. that itâs alright to fail. not everything is going to be a big âwinâ off the bat. Nothing is magically perfect every time.
Life feels like treading water lately, and it can be tough to remember what really matters when you donât have anyone to vent to in real life. once more this community shows how kind it can be. so thanks again guys for the support. I really do appreciate it and hope you have a good weekend.
Iâve lost a very good friend of mine a couple months ago. Iâve been coping as best as I can but I sorely miss him. Weâve known each other for 13 years, most of it was on discord and yet I consider him to be my best friend and heâs gone. I feel so alone, especially today. He loved the hitman trilogy, I got him into it. Put over hundreds of hours into it and we would stream it together. I canât even play it now without thinking of him.
This isnât really an issue post, I just didnât know exactly where to put it.
But I think this is the best Iâve felt in a long time. Iâve had occasional suspicions in the last couple years that I have undiagnosed depression (I still havenât talked to anyone about it) and really struggled with motivation in getting things done or being productive, I barely scraped by the last couple years of school, but I just started a med change for my ADHD and I think itâll work better. And Iâve put my pride aside and finally committed to actually go to fucking therapy for once and talk about it. Things arenât perfect but itâs a start.
So, honestly, not too bad? Iâll take enduring over struggling, personally, even though it does feel like the latter a lot of the time. In case anyone else is interested, itâs around 50 questions in length.
Seriously though, and as someone who had heavy professional help, and current maintenance on it. Including multiple professional screenings.
Donât take the ones you can find on the internet as actionable indicators.
Real ones, the one you can use to go further are well crafted. Usually they are less about general feelings toward yourself, and more about situations, well-defined, surprisingly mundane, common, and then cross referenced.
And never with just results, always explained, back and forth discussed, and debriefed with a professional.
Best is to identify not you general being, but your true needs. And from that, at least thatâs what the structure that helped me did, make an adequate demand program.
Itâs then less about finding the great truth that liberate, and more about doing the dumb work on it.
Whatever it is, wherever you are mentally. I hope you will do well, or at least donât feel too terrible.
Sadly life is full of ups and downs and we gotta work through it. Wishing you luck that youâll be able to get to a better place where youâre happy soon.
You are succeeding in staying mentally well. Stay on track and re-assess from time to time.
Not to say everthing is just peachy, especially not in January but I donât want to talk about that now, but Iâve been rolling with the punches and find myself smiling more often then not.
