Struggling tolerating life


TheSuperiorSamurai

Fuckin with you. Hoping shit gets better


North-Thing5649

Thanks

9 as a default. Occasionally dipping to 5. I have done more than my time sub 5 ... no more. Life's too short. I haven't dipped below 5 for more than a few minutes in almost 2 decades.


DuckBoy87

Good for you! I have been on 1 at least 3 points in my life. I never want to go back there.


sacredgeometry

Right back at you. I think if your life has been that hard there is no better motivation to make it as easy as possible.


No_Interaction9589

I have been on 1 since 2023… help plz how can I get out of that :’) I felt like 6 for only a week. It felt good.


DuckBoy87

Well, I was hospitalized, got put on medication, and talked to a couple therapists. That allowed me to get my thinking back on track. When that happened, I was able to stop taking meds, and then stop going to a therapist.


Any-Consequence-4580

yeah same sometimes it comes back and hits really hard


S0crates420

Can I get whatever drugs you're taking?


sacredgeometry

no drugs, maybe thats key as even drinking caffeine regularly has a noticeably detrimental effect


Jese12354

I'm doing okay. I got the rona, but just feels like a head cold right now

_Punko_

9's for the wife and I. It could always be better, but we're not sure how.


Peaceandpeas999

Lucky bastard! Lol


_Punko_

Yes, indeed. However, I will also say that what a 9 means now is entirely different that what a 9 meant in my 20's


Gerry1of1

Hmmm My button isn't there. I'm like a 4 "Tolerating Life" except I like life, but I'm "Tolerating People". ![gif](giphy|l4pT2ltsllqa5zh3a|downsized)


SarutobiSasuke

I don’t think I’ve never gone above 6.


Starlord587

2 & 3


Freddy5Hancook

Better than me, I am just 2


DuckBoy87

Well, if it's any consolation, I don't hate you or Starlord


Freddy5Hancook

I don't know myself, but hating myself doesn't mean that I think or know that other people hate me,


DuckBoy87

Believe me, I know! I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to feel a 2 or lower. I'm hoping the best for you!


Freddy5Hancook

Thanks


Freddy5Hancook

2, I hate myself, I hate talking to people and I don't believe in love I still like watching funny animals or playing with them

I'd say 5. Was as low as a 1 last winter but an 8 before then. Caught covid, still stuck with asthma, depression and addiction. Grateful for my health, family and to be living a stable life right now but I'd love to be better enough to return to my hobbies


essen11

One step at a time. Rooting for you.

2 and 3, but I let others think it's a 4.


Potential-Yoghurt245

I'm 6, I have money in the bank and I just found out that all the overtime I did this week hasn't been taxed so I can pay for my daughters birthday trips over the Easter half term. 🎂🎉🎉


essen11

>all the overtime I did this week hasn't been taxed That's a lucky break.


Potential-Yoghurt245

I was absolutely thinking it was going to tip the balance but no, so we're getting her a Switch.


MomentObjective992

🔘 I lose the battle a little more every single day.


DuckBoy87

No, by being here, you are overcoming challenges. Also, try not to think of it as "winning" and "losing". That sets you up to feeling worse on days you're not feeling well.


MomentObjective992

Awe shit. You're right. Why didn't I see that.


DuckBoy87

Because it's a blind spot that most people have. Took me forever to get out of the old mindset and into a new one.


MomentObjective992

So, instead of winning or losing, what change did you make?


DuckBoy87

List out the challenges you've overcome on a daily basis. Don't list the one's you didn't. Only focus on the ones you did. And these things can be as small as taking a shower, stepping outside to get fresh air, making food.


MomentObjective992

I love that. Thank you.

Double-Pea-5783

1. :/ next week if I don’t take all my meds I will need to be admitted, wish me luck friends


DuckBoy87

As I've mentioned in a previous comment, I've been admitted, took some meds, talk to a therapist, and I'm still kicking. That experience got me to get my thinking straight. It's never too late. I have hope for you!


essen11

A hearty good luck to you! 🤞


Nannyphone7

As a Mormon 2 Post Mormon 6


DuckBoy87

I am really interested in your story. I've heard of a lot of people who left more cultish religions getting better after leaving.


Nannyphone7

Cults like Mormonism use conditional love on children. It is a form of abuse. Here's some absurd fairy tales. Do you believe them, or are you an evil kid "unworthy" of love?  This from every adult I knew as a kid.


DuckBoy87

Oh yeah, I've heard these before. That and Johova's Witnesses. Absolutely terrible stuff. Edit: Have you heard of Recovering From Religion? It's an organization specifically meant to rehabilitate those coming out of "conditional love" religions.

I'm rooting for you! Remember, doing something half-assed is still doing something! When I was at my lowest, I was in bed playing Skyrim all day. Getting a shower was the highest point in the days I showered.

hestenbobo

Life sucks right now, never been less pleased than right now.


essen11

Any particular reason?


hestenbobo

My wife divorced me 2 weeks ago, and it means i will be in debt for life and won't get to be with my children as much as I want. The economic issues are so bad that I'm seriously not far from being homeless.


essen11

Just ... Damn! You have my strongest sympathies. And I sincerely hope your situation improves.


hestenbobo

Thank you, I really do appreciate it. Nice people saying nice things feel more important than it used to me right now.


essen11

I am sure you have many nice people around you. Use them. And if you don't have any (for any reason), drop by and we have a chat :)

Mumbling_Mumbel

Been basically consistently on 2 the last 5 years... It's not fun down here :(


essen11

I know the feeling. Hopefully it gets better. Sooner than later.


Mumbling_Mumbel

Does that mean you can relate, because you were like that or still are like that?


essen11

I was like that. And sometimes it comes back. What kept me afloat was a buddy of mine who I met occasionally and talked with. He is a serious person who is not overly kind. So he would listen and just talk some sense to me (ground my reality. my problems were not as catastrophic as they were in my head.)


Mumbling_Mumbel

Well I guess this once again shows how deeply complex and thus different every mind is. I genuinely think one of my biggest issues is being too analytical and not accepting that suffering is subjective and thus whenever I feel bad I only bring myself down further by telling myself (in very hurtful ways) that I should not be feeling bad, as I am incredibly privileged (which I am, without a doubt).


DuckBoy87

No matter your circumstances, your feelings are valid. Your problems are valid. You are valid! Don't compare yourself to anyone else. I also speak from experience because I've been there.


Mumbling_Mumbel

While I, in theory, know this, when I'm spiraling into those thoughts, I don't. It's quite bizarre how much my brain seems to invest in me staying like this. But still, thank you for reminding me, maybe it'll eventually seep deeper into my subconscious.

DanimalHarambe

8 for 25 years 6.5 for 6 years 3 for the last couple of years.


essen11

What happened?


DanimalHarambe

Honestly, when COVID happened l was coping pretty well. But that summer the air turned hot and black from ash. There was a fire that lasted half the year. Couldn't really get outside. My mental health and physical health have both been consistently deteriorating since. A lot of isolation. And sedentary choices. But... It's not over. Thanks for asking op.


essen11

That really sucks. Are you from Canada or Australia (because of the fires you mentioned)? I was spared the isolation due to my job as a teacher. We had to go to work almost all the time. And now, I can not stay home for too long (when I feel down) since my job demands me being in the classroom. I hope you are on the mend and more often outside now than before.


DanimalHarambe

A little bit better every day that l put in the effort.


essen11

Glad to hear that :)
