I'm ok as long as I have my aripiprazole and divalproex sodium.
You are always the hero of your story, and a villain in someone else's. So, lose the ego, and be as nice as possible.

crap, seems like they're all following the same thing.

would be a miracle if they didn't do that.

don't need le pen or meloni type people (the last name i might've gotten wrong).

So far the nationalistic rightwing party (PVV) was clearly leading in the polls, but in the last few days, the social democrat green party (PvdA-GL) and the progressive liberal party (D66) have been narrowing the gap.

Ideally I'd like to see a progressive left cabinet (which realistically is only possible with the help of the christian democrats (CDA) at this point), but as long as it's not a rightwing party leading the next cabinet, I'll feel ok about it.

I've been steadily getting better since my teenage years.

The outside world has never been that much of a struggle for me. My problems have always come from inside my own head. Well, I guess that's only partly true. I was taught to have those problems. In any case, that's why I'm getting better in spite of the world getting worse.

Im generally doing very well, but I do see little cracks here and there (e.g. getting lazier with housekeeping, staying up later, procrastinating on work tasks, not feeling inspired to do art). Im not sure what would be weighing on me all that much except for the awful state of the world, but Im privileged enough to be insulated from most of that. As always, I do get lost worrying about scary what-ifs, but I like to think Ive gotten better about that over the years. Maybe I just need to work on self-discipline.

My main problem is anxiety. Even though we are doing very well personally and financially, I worry about the world, my health, losing my job, my kids, and what future my kids have in this fucked up world.

And sorry you are having a hard time :(

I have the worst anxiety in the world, so I feel that. I think I have little anxiety attacks a few times a month. The other day I had one during sex, it was great.

It's been life changing for me. I didn't realize how bad it was until I got on medication.
I'm literally in the waiting room of an office about to discuss medication for ADHD with my therapist. I worry it won't be so groundbreaking for me because I've spent the better part of fifteen years subconsciously developing strategies to deal with it on my own with no therapy or meds.

Still hopeful though.

I didn't sleep well last night, had weird dreams. Woke up early and just thought about life and how things have been going. Put me into a foul mood all day. Not upset or angry, but just disturbed and deeply depressed.

I finally told my doctor about my depression, got some pills prescribed. So I'll see in about a month. Fingers crossed

Absolute shit. Hate my job because of upper management. Can't seem to find a new job because no one will respond to my applications. I need to figure out why. Hard to put stuff on my resume because my current job offers nothing of substance for it.

Never been on that one actually surprisingly enough. I imagine it has the typical ssri side affects tho

It's Lexapro.

So for the most part yes, but also potential painful urination (somehow).

And I'm taking a nose dive. I'm very drunk and such. I hate that I let my roommate(my ex) dictate my mood so much.

I'm still completely bummed about two dogs killing the alpha of my stray cat colony last Friday. Every time I feed them, her absence gets refreshed.

...I've been "eating my feeling" to the point my doctor called me about my high triglycerides from Monday's blood test.

I meet with my therapist every other week and my psychiatrist every month.

I'm doing okay.

Don't talk negatively about yourself.

The world chews us all up. You need to be on your own side, always. If you fucked up, we all did, let it go and stop attacking yourself.

I'm not mentally healthy by any remote stretch, but I'm better off than I have been in a while. I've resigned myself to not being around a lot longer, either due to being a casualty to fascism or end times stuff (like going in the Rapture); leaning more on my faith has given me more calm than I would otherwise have.
Live as if the rapture won't take place in this lifetime and as if your legacy will be how you treat others during it. Be kind when you can, be fair always.
