As we move into this autumn season how's everyone doing?

I've been a bit low recently. Massive dry spell and my usual insecurities putting on pressure to test my resilience. But there are certainly areas of my life that are causing some joy. Managing to get to gym four times a week is a definite positive as I try and get this massive body of mine under some sort of control.

Doing ok Thanks for asking

Seasons and related stuff (less light) don't bother me much, so that is not really an issue for me (lucky me).

Life and work are at full speed again after the holidays, which makes me feel a bit too busy. Finding myself having to balance between forcing progress in things i want done in life and work and taking time for myself. Mostly the second looses. Still have to improve in letting go of the frustration about lack of progress and not push on too much, but became already better at it past year. Remember good things come in small steps. And maybe 2 steps forward and 1 step back.

Not much wam for me past weeks but simply no urge to.

Think you're doing great, hitting the gym 4 times a week! Also goes for you, good things come slow and accept an occasional step back. Don't let the step back put you off your goal. Each day is a new chance to improve

Glad your doing okay. Small steps are indeed good.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing. Glad your doing better and having an amazing experience!

Thanks for sharing. Glad you're getting the right help. Enjoy your weekend.

Sounds like your having a tough time. Glad your making those small steps to get what you want from life. Thanks for sharing.

The footy season starts soon and so I'm getting myself into shape for it, though I've had recently suffered night terrors due to my C-PTSD flaring up again.

I've lost my job, but it is for the best. I do not wish to work for a company who hold far right ideas.

Ordered two new pairs of crotch high boots that I'm going to wear for the local pride month celebrations.

Yeah. Despite my mental health getting bad again, I'm trying to enjoy life and when things get tough, I make sure to work around it. Dressing up works. Either crossdressing or in Cosplay.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a lot is going on. It's great that you still try and enjoy life even when life is getting tough.

I don't want to be here anymore... 2025 has been nothing but death and suffering for me and my family, and I've been completely powerless to save, help, or even ease the suffering of any of them.

If I genuinely stumbled upon a genie lamp and it didn't have the power to end world suffering or something, I'm at the point where I'd just wish to have never existed.

I can't have any of the things I want in life no matter how hard I work towards them or how elementary they may be, so I'm just done. I'm here until I'm not, and that's about it.

There are no goals left, no ambition. Everyone I love is dead, dying, or suffering so badly with no end in sight that they wish they were.

I'm so sorry you are having a rough time. But the world is a better place with you in it. I can't begin to understand what you are going through. It worth remembering though that this too shall pass.

Love and hugs.

You do make a difference being here in this world: I've seen it before in other posts and replies here, and that's only one small portion of who you are.

Sending lots of love mate

I hope that my strongly held beliefs help:

Life/existence is a giant school whereby we learn who and what we are and, perhaps more importantly, what we are not--namely, we are not, to quote Star Trek--The Next Generation, these "ugly bags of mostly water". We are not the bodies that we currently use, and we are not the egos we think we are. Rather, we are individual pieces of the cosmic consciousness who are using these bodies and have use many bodies in the bodies and will/might use bodies in the future to go to this giant school and learn the lessons that we need to learn.

As Shakespeare said, "Life is but a stage". For the play that is life, we are both the actors and the audience. It is the role as a member of the audience that is the one that is important, for it is as a member of the audience that one can evaluate how one is performing as an actor, and through this evaluation learn and improve.

Anyway, I hope this helps, and I sincerely hope you feel better.
