Needed to hear this 🙏 it's tempting to give up on yourself but I won't

Replying to SovFist (#2,195,425)

Yeah, this one overlooks the importance of making active changes in your life. Circumstances will change but the odds against them randomly working in your favor are pretty small. You gotta make those kind of changes yourself

You can cheat the system and speed the bad crap up into good crap with some miralax.

You know what I think about sometimes? For most of us, think of the BEST moment of your life, all the fun times you've had. That came AFTER WW2, one of the worst times in history, and we came out of it and you have the best moments of your life after such atrocities. We can always rebuild, no matter what happens.

Good shit doesn't come knocking at your door to sweep you of your feet.

I'll raise your wait with "just do". Keep going, keep doing, you're already trying and that is succeeding because the worst you can do is not try. Keep doing. Keep being, keep experiencing, keep evolving - grow your mind, your budget, your perspective, your own garden, your relationships, career, vocabulary, bookshelf - whatever matters to you, keep doing. Never wait for the good things to come or they won't - do. Do and expect the bad and good because some bad (while not always necessary) can help us appreciate the good when we achieve it, and see how far we've come from misfortune, or immaturity, circumstance or fear.

You got this. Fight the thoughts. You're bigger than your mind!

I think this is the author of the midnight library. He writes about mental health a lot.

Yeah. Just wait. Always people telling you to wait. Good things are coming if you just wait. Even tho they have no idea, no clue what is coming. But wait. Suffer some more. Because life is precious and if you aren't alive to suffer how will you wait ?

Severe depression and SI for 54 years, but all I have to do is wait for something good to happen. Thanks for the fix. :(

I hate how these arguments are right.

I'm going to look forward to a time where they will be wrong, then I will be right!

This hits different when you are depressed and when you are working two jobs.

I got over my depression long ago and now I'm working two jobs to save up enough to finally get going with college and man do i feel like giving up. Two to three hours of sleep a day working 16-18 hours a day feels like hell and i feel burned out and ready to fall asleep by the 4th or 5th day

I can’t think of anything good that’s happened when I’m at my lowest. There’s no, something good. It’s just not as bad. Been waiting.

I feel like I’ve been waiting for years for something good to happen. I’m getting sick and tired of doing everything I can, just for nothing to happen for me.

Lost my job… company fucked me out of my apartment lease I owe, and my mileage. Thought it was a good thing as I get to return home from being on the road six months to be with my wife and get a new job to be home. She texted me on my dead brothers b-day to not come home because she plans on filing for divorce the next week. Turns out she has been cheating on me with my friend that she would have never met if not for me. This all happened within a week. Really needing that good shit right now….

Seconding this. Met a human

Didn't think human cared for me actually just after romance

But even with no romance I was cared for

Eventually romance

Pew pew I'm demiaroace turns out y'all

Life feels fuller already to have someone who really fucking loves you and cares about you like actually really truly
