Where I’m thankful to god for being alive and those around me being safe
Im battling depression
Burnout in the work place and I’m hitting low it feels as le Officer
A feeling of not knowing tomorrows stability
Issues with my relationship and in ways I cling onto to the past
I’ve come far but I feel like I’m at risk for losing everything

Nothing to complaint about. I have a pretty chilled life at the moment. I spend half of my days playing video games, searching a word generator word-finder.com/words-that-start-with/qis/ or watching a movie. The second part I still need to work, but it is a remote job and not the complicated one, so I am again lucky here. |

I'm at a stage in my life where I'm comfortable with my life and outlook. Unfortunately I have an illness where I can't work or even leave the house much, so I've just kind of accepted it now and I'm of the opinion that you work with the hand your dealt. On a regular day, seeing the kids after school, spending time with my family makes me happy. My collecting makes me happy, my love of football makes me happy. On a bad mental health day, I don't even want to get out of bed. That's the nature of living with schizophrenia I guess. I feel for you. I've not dealt with schizophrenia, but I have depression and anxiety and it's a roller coaster for sure. |

I used to be really anxious, nervous, and depressed all the time. I used to let things get to me easily. Like little things would get me irritated. But when the pandemic happened I hit a real "nothing matters" type attitude. And since then I've been real mellow, real chill. Like someone cuts me off while driving, doesn't matter. No point in holding onto that anger.

3-4, but could of been 7-8 considering my current circumstances. I'm staying hopeful about my situation which I currently can't control. I've had some injuries that have left me in somewhat of a dark place, but I'm remaining hopeful. With that said, I've reflected on decisions I've made in my life. I've realized that materialistic possessions won't always bring happiness. Sometimes it could become an addiction for something you don't want to face. I've been looking into minimalism, having less things and making sure the things you own serve some kind of purpose. For me happiness is about creating experiences with people and memories, contributing to society and influencing others in a positive way. I've been using up my spare time to work on music and art. Hopefully, when things get better I could travel for a bit and free up my mind. Hoping you guys get better if you're going through anything. I'm always up for a chat if you anyone wants to talk.

8/10
Finances are great. Husband is great. I'm still far from finishing my project of 8 or 9 years. It's almost perfect but I need to chart the seas first before moving into the final phase. When I'm done, I'll get branded with a cross. Prayers are intense. Mortification almost daily leads to great religious experiences. Got a revelation the other day when designing a rosary. I'm now logging all of it inside my calendar. Daily alms are great.
Met a Korean the other day. Kind of a lost kid. He wants me to tutor him, as he loves the books I have in my possession. I gave him a copy of Mircea Eliade's Volume I. I'm going to teach him self control, then convert him. He would like to learn French from me, so I'll see what he's made of since my teachings are heavy in philology. He has mental issues. As he asked of my views, I described myself as a Medieval Irrationalist. That's relevant since he has been put in a mental institution several times. I told him that if my daughter ever had schizophrenia, I would put her in a monastery for mystics, that modern psychiatry is largely a scientific take of demonic possession, and acts that way even when they think it's not. I hope to change his life for the better. He grew up Buddhist, which isn't at odds with my views
Ex-student stopped by the other day. It was fun to walk to the store for ham. I gave him a copy of Libido Dominandi. He was legit thrilled. Told him I'll buy him whatever book he would like
Cooking lately has been excellent. Made about 10 quarts of split pea soup.
Put on makeup for the first time in a bit. Wasn't unhappy post-melasma outbreak. Helps that I have a better French soap instead of using charcoal. That might have been harsher than I realized
Cats are very healthy.
Not happy with the menthol ban. That's just classism embedded with therapeutic state management
Going to cook a massive pot of fish soup for local staff that serves me almost daily
Got a revelation recently after a polemic against Lust. Found a wonderful revelation that blew me away.
Some historians are helping me with something critical to my project. Love those guys
I can't really complain. I think through our suffering do we see something much greater, through grace. So if there are any issues, I'm not complaining

I've not dealt with schizophrenia, but I have depression and anxiety and it's a roller coaster for sure. Right back at you as well, I suffer from bouts of depression every other month it feels like and I have severe anxiety as well which is why I don't get out much. It's not by choice obviously, it's just the way it is. I'm happy enough when I'm going through good spells, so I don't complain about my mental health much. It happens, just got to deal with it as best you can. |

Probably 4
I remember what being happy felt like. Or happier than this at least. I deal with anxiety, depression and a low grade nervous system disorder. I have no family left, so the holidays are a real bummer. I try to remember it could be worse. I have a job, I am independent and take care of myself, but I know I can be better than this. It's just so hard. I keep trying every day to improve my situation but it is an uphill battle. I just want a "win"

I have to say it's a place I never expected to be. |

Probably about a 7/10. I'm finally a professional graphic designer after years of busting my ass learning how to do it all by myself. I have a good job, a car and my own place. I'm training to be a wrestler and just moved up from the beginners class, I'm really pleased with how that's going.
I'm 24 and I've dealt with depression and anxiety since I was about 14. It still gets me sometimes, especially the anxiety since starting my new job about 3 weeks ago but I feel like I'm settling in nicely now.
What'd make me happier is being able to see my friends more. We're all older with "adult" jobs now and our own real life stuff going on so it's been difficult being able to see each other lately. Next week I'm going to New York on vacation with two of my friends from university though. I'm really looking forward to that.
