Depression. It's a silent killer.

That's good. Wow, though, I wonder if they taught her that at whatever school she went to. That is a frightening thought...

I just couldn't believe it. I was stunned. I have never seen any kind of dr do that

I had depression since my teens (even struggled with suicidal thoughts). It got a little less intense in by my late 20s, but then flared up around covid. Then work management changed and the replacement is an awful man who's still sadly in the same job, even if I did file a complaint about his behaviour towards me (like him getting upset at me for being too sick to work when I got food poisoning, among other things). HR practically strong-armed me into "quitting" and I was too fed up and just left. Despite being mostly jobless now, I actually feel myself getting better now that I'm not in a toxic workplace struggling with constant anxiety. Hope the next permanent job I find won't be as bad.

Before long, we’re going to have brain surgeons with Youtube vidoes pulled up in the operating room as a guide.

There isn’t much that’s worse than a toxic work environment. I hope you find something better soon!

Morning. I was amazed at the feelings of relief I had when I left a toxic job. I’d had crappy jobs in the past but the last one was the worst. I had started therapy and was a bit more in tune with my mental state and actually noticed the feeling of freedom and relief when I finally left.
I know it’s a hard decision in this economy to leave a job, no matter how toxic, but your life and mental health are more important than any employer’s bottom line.

Morning. I came across some questions that I want to ask to open up some discussion.
If you’re not interested that’s fine but please keep all comments positive.

Question 1. What constitutes a perfect day for you?

I look forward to seeing your answers.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

I’ll go first.
I’ve actually had this day.
The day that everyone (my kids) woke up in a good mood and got themselves ready to start the day without my having to fight with them. They got on the school bus on time.
That evening after a calm dinner and homework session. Everyone relaxed together in the living room. Each doing their own thing but all together.
The memory of the bliss of that day has kept me going more often than one might think.

I can't remember a "perfect day". Even a decent day is coated in pessimism about the tomorrow or what didn't get done today. I tend to phrase it more as a "less fucked up day". Eeyore sums me up normally.

 

[PotNoodle79]

I don't know any of you good folk. I do know how important it is to share feelings etc. I'm no shrink or anything but my inbox is open if anyone wants a vent or anything.
Look after yourselves.

Interesting idea, I like this!

A perfect day for me is a day when I get to stay home all day, no one calls or bothers me in any way. Just a day entirely to myself where I can write, eat, write some more, take a small break, write again (I've been bitten by the writing bug BADLY), and... you get the idea!

Thanks Bass for answering the question. I hope you have many perfect days.

Morning. I’ll have another question tomorrow. I’m going to give this one another day to marinate.

Be safe out there.
Love you.

One of two things:
1. A day playing golf
2. A day masturbating

(Just being honest...)

Perfect day for me would be if I'm all alone in the house, writing with nothing but silence around me. At least that's one of the perfect days for me, anyway.

Morning. How are you doing?

 

[Wetkitty09]

It’s amazing how quickly things can change. The morning yesterday was calm but the evening ended with flashing lights.
Domestically violence is a horrible experience.
It wasn’t me who experienced it but my son and grandson. But everyone is dealing with the hurt and betrayal.

Be safe out there.
Love you.
