How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[Gonz]

Just going through the motions in life. Feel like an outsider looking in.

That’s an unpleasant feeling. The inverse, I think, of people with such an exaggerated sense of self-worth that they think they are the only ones that matter.

Both are untrue of course, but I think what you’re feeling hurts and holds you back in a way the other doesn’t.

 

[Inanimate]

Left out and left behind. These are the two constants in my life (besides diabetes and depression). Everyone around me is in a rush to leave, and I can’t figure out why. I know it’s not about me, but when everyone else is doing the same thing, it calls into question “Why am I different? Why me?”

Thanks Gonz. Been trying to push myself these days. But I do look at what I have to be grateful for, but even that gets old. But we have to keep trying, right? Hope you're doing ok today.

I understand Inanimate. I suffer depression too and I think I'm going through seasonal depression right now despite all the meds I take, just being so hard on myself. I hope that if you feel different you won't judge yourself too harshly. You are good being you.

No right, I want you to be emotionally mature. I can’t handle some guy constantly nagging about every single situation which happens to them. I am sorry but I’m not supposed to be the provider and shoulder to cry on early in the relationship, I’m a girl after all.

 

[PrincessPure]

I explained about this guy to a guy friend and he totally understood. He even admitted that venting to a girl you like early on is a mistake. Why can’t he be the one who likes me instead??? He is much better.

I am mostly, or at least as ok as I can be right now, hope you are too. You’re right of course; It’s true enough, but it’s not that helpful to just say to someone who’s feeling down. I think maybe it’ll make someone take longer before they get to that point.

Anyway, point is I command you to feel happier. Do it now!

Ugh, I am feeling a little exhausted from the emotional roller coaster this week. It’s a big change, but I think it’s going to lead to a better place. The getting there is uncertain, and will probably suck. But stagnation also sucks. What can I do? Comfort is not an option, so I might as well take the path that leads to where I want to be.

 

[AvidFan]

Pretty tired and a bit sad. I was hoping to do some remote work but there's nothing that matches my current brain capacity. Instead YouTube ended up feeding me a lot of nostalgic tunes from across the years, which was kind of weird, as I feel kind of embarrassed about and sad for my younger self who used to feel those songs so deeply. I guess you live and learn and the things and people and emotions that seemed important 30 years ago, no longer are, really.

 

[Windhover]

I'm not there yet, I'm healing, hurt, uncomfortable, and very tired of thinking about it.

[TragicReality]

Very tired. I'm tired of being in the same rut day after day. I'm worried about something medical that will probably end up as nothing, but I don't know and wont know for at least another week. I haven't gone out to do anything in over 2 months. I dont feel lonely but out of touch with just regular things like shopping and seeing people out living there lives. I guess I'm feeling isolated.

 

[chiastic_slide]

Feeling hounded and put down.

Absolutely no energy. But I have a package to pick up. Another book. I’ve had three bad copies in a row. But it must just be bad luck. And a run of bad luck must end sometime.

Yes, I recieved a fully functional copy. I can declare that the bad run of luck has ended.

I’ve had a good routine of reading old spiderman comics for an hour or so in the evening. Which for some reason really brings me peace. The only time in the day I actually feel calm. Relieved to be able to continue that with this book.

It's good to get out even like you said to just shop or something. I like to go for breakfast at McDonald's and check out the thrift stores and doesn't cost a fortune. Also, I hope whatever's concerning you medically turns out to be nothing to worry about.

I hate that I worry about my parents so much. For the past few years, my dad has really taken distance from my mom and refuses to do anything with her. Frankly, he doesn't like spending time with her or the activities she likes, so it makes some sense, but his solution is to become a shut-in sitting in front of his computer 24/7 (when not at work) and I know that this is not his way to be happy at all. On the other hand, my mom will not do anything he likes either (they're so incompatible) and blames it all on him. Not to mention the mental issues they have but don't accept.

Divorce will never happen. They're both too afraid of any instability, being alone or appearances.

I can't tell them my real thoughts about them because that will hurt them and only compromise my relationships. I just have to listen to them complaining without a word.

Aaargh. Nothing ever changes.
