Woke up feeling tired and worn out.
Tried to just get on with it. Had coffee and breakfast.
Looked at memes to try and cheer myself up
My fiancee and my friend and I were supposed to go to a con.
Reptiles. Bugs. Neat stuff.
I was looking forward to it. So much.
But im just so tired today. I feel so worn down. I just couldn't go.
I was looking forward to it so much. At least they're gonna go and enjoy it so only one ticket will be wasted.
Mental illness sucks, man.
I know I disappointed my fiancee but this is better than me ruining the outing.
Idk.
I just need to be home today.
It's so hard to be happy these days, without also feeling guilty.
What do you mean you're happy? With all the crap going on now?
As a queer European i cant help but wonder
When's it my turn? When are the people here.gonna turn against me and mine?
Are we gonna get sent to camps again?
God, I wish I lived in more peaceful times. I wish none of this was happening to anyone. I'm so tired of being tired and upset and guilty all the time.
I could use a pizza and a beer. And silence.

May Blåhaj protect us all in these trying times.

I would say do some frequency healing. That, however, doesn't do anything for some people. Im a very spiritual person, not religious. So I like working with elements along with modern medicine, of course. Can't heal whooping cough with crystals. Depending on your region and weather, go outside barefoot and do some grounding. Hands or feet in soil. Sometimes, we just need a natural reset. Light therapy sometimes works, but it's not an instant gratification.

The world is always in turmoil someplace and at peace in another. Rejoice if it is peaceful in your place at this time.

((hugs)) I’m so sorry, @OP.
I’m in the same boat. It’s so hard to have your body tag out just when something you really wanted to attend comes up. It’s so unfair.
But- speaking from Occupied Los Angeles here. Every bit of joy, every shred of humor is defiance. These monsters can’t withstand real happiness. It’s not betrayal- it’s the absolute boots on the ground of getting through this.
You have my permission, if it helps.

Hey OP, i feel you. Same here today for me, wanted to go to the lakes with the kids to have one last summer day. I can't. And always the shame and negative self talk on top. I could tell you "no worries, it's ok, take your time" but its not working saying that to myself. Especially sad because I was social for my mental health with friends last evening, I can set the clock to me being completely drained and need a day break at least to get well again. Hope you're dealing better. Mom hugs!

Thanks. I needed that. #1

#1 woke up alone (again), this me from a dream where I met someone who cared about me and gave me physical and emotional love. It's been a rough day, being alone and lonely for the... 5th year in a row.

If it wasn't for my cat, I;d lose it completely.

It’s 2 in the afternoon and I’m still in bed. Bailed on a bday party but I wouldn’t be good company. I could fake it but I’ve faked it soooo much lately I feel like it’s taken something out of me. I just need to disengage. It’s hard to know the difference between self care and self indulgence OP, but that’s life I guess. Hang in there

Finding any amount of happiness, even with everything going on, is nothing to feel guilty over, and don't ever let anyone make you think otherwise. The smallest pieces of happiness could be what it takes to get from one day to the next. Cling to what you need to. Anything that floats can help save you from drowning. We love you

I know the feeling and that it doesn't do j*ck sh*t is a stranger on the internet says 'it is going to be alright'... But it is going to be alright.

I woke up to my boss shotgun-blaming not finished stuff, sending me texts about other peoples work and threatening firing people (Im not a manager, and my stuff and more was done) then looked and saw that my girlfriend had blamed me for talking in a room full of people, for waking her kid up. So just, unfair shit on unfair shit today.
I feel you. Completely.
DrHoleDaddy
I’ve been there with you, I’ve watched a group of friends go off to do something fun we planned , and payed for, multiple times . It makes me feel like a jackass. But they’re my friends and so they always give me another chance to join the fun a different day.

#10 is this meant to be an insult? Cause air fryers are amazing.
Gotta take care of yourself in dark times, OP, no shame in that

@op, I see you. Appreciate you. Been a rough one for me too. Stay strong friend. I'm here to talk If you ever want

You matter to so many people. Keep fighting.
IDontKnowWhatToDoAnymoreAndImTired
You especially matter to your fiancee, the person who knew you the best out of ANY people not biologically related to you, and still decided "This person is so wonderful I want to spend the rest of my life with them."
That person, an objective observer who understands you at your worst, accepts you and loves you. And the only way you can fuck it up is by thinking that you're somehow unworthy of what they have bestowed on your freely out of love.
abetteridiot
I see your heartfelt comment and love you for it, I see your username and cannot help myself but tell you meme #14 was made for you.
Scattercat
Same, but chronic physical illness rather than mental. It sucks so hard when you miss the things you actually want and like because of this shit.

I saw an amazing mural in downtown San Francisco today: Joy is the strength of our solidarity
It’s a natural response to allow our brains to be the boss of us, but it fucks up the joy we are capable of delighting in, then returning to the world
Will they come for us?
Let’s burn that bridge if we come to it
You are worth every. single. second. of your efforts to live as beautifully and wholly as you can ❤️
Oioioioioioioioioioioioi
That was beautiful. Thank you <3

Man, I too am sick of living in unprecedented times. I'd like some normal please and thanks

#2 Lol look at those silly kittens who think that painting of fish is rea….. okay i too am a silly little kitten apparently

If you find something to be happy about, don't feel guilty. It's something worth living for and maybe fighting for.

#14 There's a Cookout right next door so I don't think anyone's worryin about the Kurger Bing
DigYourselfBaby
Any idiot can be happy when times are good. Strength of character is when you can appreciate the small treasures of your life no matter what is happening. While it is our collective responsibility to try to help others, empathy doesn't mean being dark & miserable all the time. It's your choice if you want to stop and enjoy the things you have to be thankful for in your life.

With you. Today seems to be an especially shitty day for a lot of us. Here’s to hoping tomorrow will be better https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTY1YjkxZmJlYnJod3Nkbnh4ZDNqN3hpdnl0ZmQwaWNuMGt0YWVzOHJhNHY2ZDB5NCZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/rYCbb0KkIT0Nq/200w.mp4
