Comrades, I’m feeling a bit down. Help a friend out and share something that inspires you or say something inspiring if you wish

    You’re making me blush, comrade. You are my friend as well and I wish the absolute best for you. You aren’t alone either.

    Of course, always. That’s the only way we can do it.

    I proudly carry that label. I have never consciously thought about not fighting my feelings - I’ll try that next time. I definitely get that I can’t understand my way out of them, but if you could elaborate more on how one would be able to “feel their way out” that would be great.

    You’re absolutely correct in that, too, and I have recently came around to that fact. I used to be a hard-core doomer that hated everything and believed it was all bad; a stage I don’t regret but definitely have grown out of.

    You’re a godsend, SpaceCowboy.

        I’ve definitely been a mixture of 1 and 2. 1 would be used for the lesser, more common pains in life, and 2 to attempt to block out mental illness. This has not worked for me.

        The dark tunnel analogy is very good. Sometimes the last thing I want to do is feel, but I think you’re definitely right. Poems and other art forms are wonderful.

        My life has been materially easy, too. I’ve been in the battle with myself this entire time. Also, I wouldn’t call those things superficial at all - those are very real pains one feels, and just because it isn’t absolute desperation or extreme poverty doesn’t mean they aren’t valid.

        Nah, comrade. That was very helpful. I’ll try that last one. Not rambling at all. Also, that poem was beautiful. Thanks again, friend
