Another one is the movie ‘The Fountain’ which is played excellently by Hugh Jackman.

I’ve been watching Shrinking and it has a lot of those moments

Shit bird

Should we point out that in this context it’s ‘save’, not ‘safe’? If you’re going to correct someone’s spelling, make sure your own is impeccable.

I wish you the same.

If anyone on here reads any of this and also feels like their drinking is doing more harm than good, I’d like to reference the community c/StopDrinking which has a lot of supportive people, helpful tips and general positivity that may help.

I feel comfortable saying I am not currently an addict but I do recognize I am on my way there. I can use every bit of support in trying to curb this thing before it ruins my life.

Drinking is a big one for me lately. I’m fully aware of all my priviliges in life, they are kind of another source of me feeling like crap. I know that there are people out there managing, doing the best they can in far worse situations than the one I’m in.

I’m just waiting for all of this to go away and see that new day arrive.

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

I am burnt out. My wife is gonna be too in a year or so and I’m really trying to get her to see that. This however means she is more of a hindrance than a help at this point.

Going to bed early usually works fine. It’s just that some nights I drink too much and get too much into my head about all kinds of things. Once the ol’ noggin starts to do its thing there is really no going back. It makes it especially hard to stay positive and focus on everything I usually enjoy.

I really can’t wait to see a therapist. I’m hoping they have the silver bullet to my ailments but I am at the same time cautious that nothing is gonna be a one click fix at this point.

I am just so tired…

Some casual video games I’ll turn off the game audio and just listen to music instead

Anything you’d like to share with the rest of the class? I remember seeing a number like 300 of 400 at some point

Don’t Let The Bells End by the Darkness?

I have my Christmas tree lights in a zigbee smart plug and some more lights on the front of the house as well. They turn on around sunset if I’m home or when I come home after sunset.

It has been ruled illegal in the Netherlands only last year but companies still do it and het away with it.

Thanks!

I’ve recently gotten a new manager at work and his focus is software development. He actually showed me his literal rubber duck and explained why he had it.

Verbalising does help a little so I do try to talk about stuff a lot.

My other posts? I thought for a second I was going insane so I had a look and this is the first time over posted here.

That said, I agree that I am not improving. I’m trying to talk as much as I can to anyone who will listen. I have friends with experience in the field and they are very open to support me. I just have to gather my thoughts in order to talk about what I need.

Hey foggy, thanks for your advice. Luckily I don’t live in the United States.

My health insurance has an app that shows al therapists within a certain radius that are covered. The websites of the therapists themselves have wait times on them. It’s just the matter of ging through intakes and then find the right one and wait until they have time to treat me.

I am extra disappointed in myself the days I don’t do anything worthwile and that is what really gets me down.

The hardest part is knowing exactly why it’s okay to not be okay and still be okay with not being okay.

I wanna thank you, Kevin, and wish you good luck on your way up.

Don’t worry about it. I’ve been parroting Charlie Cunningham: we’ve all got hills to climb.

Same

I’ve found that Charlie Cunningham has some stuff that can really motivate or put stuff in perspective. Stuff like Pathways or Headlights can feel like a hand on the shoulder.

Oh yeah me too btw. I am now president of Vanuatu
