In terms of personal outlook, nothing.
Art. I found some cheap acrylic glitter paint I bought a while back and I’ve been making sparkly erotic paintings. Some mixed media with mutilated copies of mass market christian books, random wooden trays. I have a bunch of leftover scraps of t-shirt from making yarn and other fabric remnants, so I make quilts.
Sparkly erotic paintings sounds exciting!
If the fascists get me, some stranger will have to clean out an apartment full of a ton of sparkly colorful paintings of penises with random passages from the Left Behind series modpodged on.
It makes life worth living.
The drive for freedom of the living can not be stopped. Only temporary measures are possible against it.
We are living in the most developed and peaceful tunes/times. Our great grandparents did not have antibiotics, child mortality was very high. Around 150 years ago, slavery and serfdom was hapenning, so instead of staring itno Outlook or Teams, you would be doing life crushing and dehumanising work. Much off the stuff that was out of reeach by lower or middle class is much more affordable today, even basic stuff such as meat was scarce in my grand parents time (ussr). 100 years ago most people saw only around 30 km around their land, or as much as horse could walk in a day, but now traveling is very affordable. I am hopeful that besides all the political crap we are moving towards even more developed future
I wish there was something.
Everything is cyclical. Its cycles all the way down…
Movies to watch, games to play, drugs to try, not much else
I wake up.
Then get depressed that I woke up.
Yesterday i would have said my strenght but…all now just started crumbling. Every aspect of my life exept my work
Space exploration. It feels like the one awesome thing humanity is doing right now. Also maybe the most important thing humans are doing right now.
I hope the children of the future

My wife flashing me when we’re alone for a moment.
Be sure to flash her back!
Not to lie, basically nothing. I’m struggling really bad.
Im sure it does not help but I feel the same and am too.

Hey, talking to a counselor or a therapist can seriously help. Even just having someone to bounce thoughts off of, totally worth it. Please consider it.
I need a job. I’m eating less to afford housing. This isn’t a case of “my life is fine and I have feelings”. I don’t have family willing to help me.
I’m hungry and worried about becoming homeless, again. Talking to people does not help me or make me feel better. I’ve tried, I paid a lot of money for therapy, and they all failed me.
This. Both my wife and I, I am sure have depression, but its not for no reason. Its no ennui and heck its not even everything happening with the country. Its actual daily reality.
OK, that’s fair. Without info it can be hard to tell what type of “shit is bad and I need help” you’re in.
I was homeless as a kid, and I hear you on that fear. Like you know that at least it’s probably survivable, but also total shit and being constantly on edge and miserable. Especially with shit family. I’m sorry there’s nothing I can do to help you. I won’t try and pump you up unnecessarily, but at least it sounds like you’re trying to think through your options rationally. Keep trying your best, it’s all any of us can do.
Feel free to vent or send a DM any time. And hey, at least I just saved you $100 in garbage pretend therapy.
Idk where the user above is, but mental health is just so fucking expensive in the US. I have a good job, but it’s hard for me to stomach a $150 bill for each appointment (average price I’ve found). I’ve started and stopped quickly after so many times because it’s really hard for me to rationalize draining my HSA account for something that might never end up benefiting me.
