Couple nights ago, I went downtown to my favorite bar, got my favorite drink, ordered biscuits and gravy and watched American Dad on their tv. It was such a great moment. Then before I could walk up to the bar to get my second beer, the bartender had already walked up to my table, took my empty glass and asked if I wanted another and brought me one. It made the whole moment even better.
I appreciate the sentiment. I don't even kow what my problem is. I guess I can be too hard on myself, but its not all my fault. I used to think it was, but it isn't. I still wish I could just have some peace.
I don't really want death though. I like living and experiencing things, I just hate how hard we have to work to even survive to experience those things. Death would be peaceful but I have a lot of people and things I care about too much to let that happen. I hope you can feel similar someday.
All you gotta do is make it to the next day, friend. I'm not trying to rescue you, I'm speaking from my own experiences and trying to help myself at the same time by reminding myself of the same things. I can only hope that these things can help you as well. It's all I can do, and only costs me a small small amount of my energy.
Thank you. My grandpa died two days ago and the last things he said to me were that he loves me and to take care of myself. I have to keep reminding myself to try and that it’s worth it. So I’m trying.
well if it was easy it wouldn't be such a big thing to say like this.
keep trying, and if you're not trying, then that's okay, maybe you just need some genuine rest, and allowing yourself that counts as trying as well which counts as self-care too. brains are messy and bad way often, just try to not beat yourself up over it when you can and I'd count that as self-care too.
selfcare not an all or nothing thing, it's not some specific recipe to follow religiously; it's to do your best with whatever limits and requirements you have. and through time and acceptance, we can shape our patterns slowly, so slowly we don't even recognise it. but that's what improving oneself is.
keep being patient with yourself, you're doing better than your brain and emotions allow you to feel. you're commenting on wholesomememes already, which already shows some self-kindness!
I comment out of spite of myself, not self-kindness. It literally is an all or nothing thing. I'd be resting for the rest of my life and still feel the same amount of uncomfortable. It's involuntary.
That's good for you, though it still has great hindsight. I'll answer in a way that will hopefully finally get the sentiment understanding of where I wish to be: I would rather be a worthwhile nobody than a worthless somebody.

Right? The only peace is death and I cannot fucking wait

I've been just making it to the next day for 30 years. Its not enough. I'm tired. I understand, thank you
Do you need to talk?
I appreciate it, but I have a therapist and a good support network. That's basically the only reason why I'm still around.
Okay! Have a wonderful day!

Easy to say
Internal validation is useless for me due to disability. My mind literally won't allow it. ;-;

and it's okay to have bad days where everything is hopeless and dark. sometimes our bodies just need that, as sad as that is.
and even then, seeing this, I still stand by every bit of what I said
