PERSONA DANCING ALL OVER MY SOUL
"I generally just tumble around."
So I just got a message from someone I went to high school with; we never really talked, but we still ended up as friends on Facebook. It’s always been weird interacting with people I went to high school with since I went to a private Christian high...

So I just got a message from someone I went to high school with; we never really talked, but we still ended up as friends on Facebook. It’s always been weird interacting with people I went to high school with since I went to a private Christian high school and I was too queer for many students’ comfort, but I digress.

Anyways, needless to say I was so pleasantly surprised to get this message. This made my whole day- knowing that he’s going out of his way to support his sister now that she’s come out. I hope she knows she has a really cool brother that has her back.

Depression is so fucking weird because the back of my brain is always like “why am I even alive I’m not accomplishing anything everything is meaningless” but then something happens like I find meatballs in the freezer that can be cooked in the microwave and for a solid half hour my life suddenly has genuine purpose like there’s no joke here this is legit my life right now because I may be depressed but there’s a bowl of meatballs waiting for me and that’s beautiful.

Someone: Hey how's your life going?
Me: I wept in a Best Buy last night and when an employee asked if I was okay I just quietly said "I'm looking for the mice." while avoiding eye contact. Other than that, though, still terrible.

Friends who suffer together get tougher together.

Me: Boy howdy today was, in fact, a day if I ever did see one.
Friend: What happened?
Me: Nothing, I'm just at a point in my life where simply existing is an exhausting task.

Concept: I’m laying in bed with my dog curled up against me. The fireplace is alive with crackling embers, and a hot cup of cocoa is within reach. My girlfriend is sleeping on the couch across the room, and neither of us have to get up early tomorrow. I begin to think that 2016 could be a wonderful year.

Do you think you could make a How To: "not f*cking cry in public over stuff that is completely untrue and probably based on fear of abandonment" ?

Step 1: Acknowledge that while your perspective may be skewed, your feelings are still very real. Whether you’re acting on fact or assumptions, your feelings are still valid in the sense that you can’t control how you feel, and you should not feel ashamed for feeling.

Step 2: Pretend you’re a friend or counselor and explain to yourself all of the reasons the troublesome thought is not true. Affirm yourself without shaming yourself for feeling.

Step 3: If you need a few minutes alone to gather yourself, say you have to go to the restroom and do a bit of deep breathing while thinking of the nicest things people have done for you; awesome birthday gifts, words of encouragement, a fun family vacation, a silly memory of a friend. Let these kind of thoughts flood you.

Step 4: Profit.
