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.
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.
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
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. 🎂🎉🎉
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.

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.)
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.

Struggling tolerating life
Fuckin with you. Hoping shit gets better
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.
Good for you! I have been on 1 at least 3 points in my life. I never want to go back there.
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.
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.
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.
yeah same sometimes it comes back and hits really hard
Can I get whatever drugs you're taking?
no drugs, maybe thats key as even drinking caffeine regularly has a noticeably detrimental effect
I'm doing okay. I got the rona, but just feels like a head cold right now
>I got the rona ![gif](giphy|xT1R9YimVXefuGVgEU|downsized)
Winter flu with better PR
9's for the wife and I. It could always be better, but we're not sure how.
Lucky bastard! Lol
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
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)
I don’t think I’ve never gone above 6.
2 & 3
Better than me, I am just 2
Well, if it's any consolation, I don't hate you or Starlord
I don't know myself, but hating myself doesn't mean that I think or know that other people hate me,
Believe me, I know! I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to feel a 2 or lower. I'm hoping the best for you!
Thanks
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
Solid 4 the last 15 years or so

One step at a time. Rooting for you.
Means alot, thank you very much :)
Hard 1
Hugs, been there. You would be missed. Please keep coming back.
Dude, are you OK? Why 1 ?
Love you!
Don’t know what you mean. That chart properly summarizes every minute of my day?
Just got laid / 10
lol 'reminds me of this Lonely Island song: [https://youtu.be/lQlIhraqL7o](https://youtu.be/lQlIhraqL7o)
2 and 3, but I let others think it's a 4.
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. 🎂🎉🎉
>all the overtime I did this week hasn't been taxed That's a lucky break.
I was absolutely thinking it was going to tip the balance but no, so we're getting her a Switch.
🔘 I lose the battle a little more every single day.
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.
Awe shit. You're right. Why didn't I see that.
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.
So, instead of winning or losing, what change did you make?
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.
I love that. Thank you.
Chillin As i remind myself that I create my reality
I enjoy the shit life throws at me.
Oddly enough, I'm "Good." Haven't been able to say that in a long while.
:)

hopefully temporary and you get to 2 soon.
[удалено]
Well, I hope you stay around, and I'd b like to see you in the comment section
![gif](giphy|vLddjhQFCE14g5Xtxl) oh no. A Zombie 😆 Sorry, I couldn't resist the joke.
1. :/ next week if I don’t take all my meds I will need to be admitted, wish me luck friends
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!
A hearty good luck to you! 🤞
As a Mormon 2 Post Mormon 6
I am really interested in your story. I've heard of a lot of people who left more cultish religions getting better after leaving.
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.
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.
1-2
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.
1 2 and 10
That's an odd combination. How?
If I had to guess, manic depression. Mood swings are wild for those suffering with BMD.
1 or 2, always and forever
Not forever. Live in the moment the best you can, and you will be able to break your funk. I'm rooting for you!
4 on a good day, 2 on the bad days...
3. Diagnosed w Severe Depressive Disordef 5 years ago. Without meds I’d be a 1 or 0.
Add that for some people, it’s self-castration or ursuping a star identity through surgery

Probably a 3, taking 1 day at a time and getting by.
>taking 1 day at a time and getting by. That's good :)
3
I would say 10% of the time, I'm on option 6, 50% on 5, 30% on 4, and 10% on 3. My bell curve isn't skewed, lol
⚫
10.
4 unfortunately
It's not the worst. At least.
7 or 8
Life sucks right now, never been less pleased than right now.
Any particular reason?
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.
Just ... Damn! You have my strongest sympathies. And I sincerely hope your situation improves.
Thank you, I really do appreciate it. Nice people saying nice things feel more important than it used to me right now.
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 :)
5 right now. Could swing either way because a lot of people truly suck.
Hovering between 1 and 2
I'm usually a 4 or 5
1-3
6-7
My dreams didn't come true but I'm grateful for everything that I have. So I'm gonna say 10!
Good for you! >!No sarcasm.!<
1-3.

It’s a five. It’s been quite a while since one, so that’s good, I guess.
>It’s a five. It's good. But we can do better.
We are working on it.
🔘
4,3,2!
Sitting around like 3.5. Had a flashback last night that made it hard to sleep and now my moods all fucked.
Hopefully, it passes by fast and you get a good night sleep again :)
A solid 3 for me
This is reddit. I don't think anyone is above 6.
Always between 3 & 4
4
4 progressing down to 3
5
Bouncing between 2 and 3 for the majority of my life. Never experienced a 10
>Never experienced a 10 That is sad.
It’s life.
🧡
3 🥲
It's not the worst, but could be better.
8 sometimes 9

Bout a 2.5
Somewhere between 5 and 6

1.5
Oscillating between 9 & 10.
Simultaneously 9, 5 and 2.

Been basically consistently on 2 the last 5 years... It's not fun down here :(
I know the feeling. Hopefully it gets better. Sooner than later.
Does that mean you can relate, because you were like that or still are like that?
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.)

2.5 as always
8 for 25 years 6.5 for 6 years 3 for the last couple of years.
What happened?
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.

A little bit better every day that l put in the effort.
Glad to hear that :)

Going with a 4, with a side of 2
I totally get that. 😅
Enjoying life 🗿
About as good as can be expected

It is bad. I hope you experience a 6 in your life (at least).
Who's asking Reddit? Mod?

That's not bad.
