Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

I've been in therapy for over 20 years but things keep getting worse, even though I take pretty much every antidepressant under the sun.
Not all people make it. Some are only here as a cautionary tale for others. I'm pretty sure I'm one of them.
I enjoy your posts. You have cute cats.
I'm kind of dumbstruck since I don't get a whole lot of positive interactions, so I needed some time to process. It's also hard for me to accept that anything positive could come from most of my doomposting and venting, but I did want to let you know that your comment touched my heart. Thank you.
Check out rejection sensitivity. 99% of shit is in our own heads. Maybe one actually sucks, but even that, they can lie to themself! 😂
Wrt to the doomposting. Caught up w a friend yesterday. Talking about hating reading news directly on sites without the social comments from these communities to yell angrily and validate we're not in our own vacuums. Thanks for making me feel less crazy and alone.
I enjoy a lot of your posts, too.

You’re welcome. Be kind to yourself and do your best, it’s hard out there.
Life is very hard and challanging but Your photos of your cats are very good.
I think that you didn't find the right method for you that works for your case, and not for n% of population. A change in treatment is needed.
I have snooped a bit and you said that you are interested history and archeaology. You could try to become IT help in some university so you could help with, for example Herculaneum Burned Scroll that need a lot of computers to unravel their mysteries. You have some skills and I am sure that some archeologist needs your skills to do their job well.
I believe that there is still hope for you.
