"How's everyone doing?"
Love you, too
We are getting through this year, so just wanted to see how everyone is doing?
I myself am just about scraping by though times are a little rough.

Is there anything that helps build your resilience with anxiety. I have identified a few areas in my life(reading is a big one) that if I have them in order my mental health(anxiety, depression) improves.
That's a good question.
I don't know that I have many tools or coping mechanisms that I have found yet. Up until relatively recently, my anxiety has largely been manageable by recognizing and telling myself - "Today, I am feeling anxious and/or depressed; it's going to be a nervous day. I'll go to bed tonight, and hopefully things will be better in the morning." Just accepting that this is how my day is going to feel and, unless there's a stressor that's easily identifiable and actionable, I don't need to give these feelings any greater significance than that. (And, even if there is, I very likely don't need to do anything about it immediately.)
Within the past year though, these nervous days have started stretching into multiple days or even weeks. I started talking to a new therapist who I like. Maybe after working with them, I can find some techniques.

Thank you for asking
I'm doing very well at the moment, I've made a few changes that are helping keep me on an even keel the main things are to stop giving a fxxk what others think of me and not put so much pressure on myself. I always get a bit down when I compare myself to others so I don't do it anymore. I'm just plodding along, doing what makes me happy
Hope everyone takes care of themselves. Remember, we can't pour from an empty cup

I do hope that helps.

Thank you for sharing and I'm glad it's going well. There is an art to not giving a fxxk about others think of you and comparing ourselves to others doesn't help! We are who we are and that is a wonderful and beautiful thing.

Thank you. I am going to try and find a new psychiatrist very soon. There are so many things I want to say, but I don't want to. There are a lot of private things that I can't let go.

Taking that step to talk about things is often a difficult step. But it is positive. I hope this step provides some hope.
The depression is real, and I'm not in a great place to be uplifting to others at the moment.
Life isn't fair, and although I hope for another life after, this might be all I have. So I remind myself to live it. Do what I can with every minute I have. If if a lot of it is just work now, remember that it provides for an helps others too. Create my own worth, my own value.

I'm sorry you're depressed. I do hope good things come from the way that you choose to live on despite this. Life isn't fair, but then often what we think is fair isn't. Hope you have a great week.
Not very well. You may have seen some of my posts in messy minds. Well that shit is still casuing issues. Taking one day at a time. The police have casught the internet troll and they have a sick obession with my friend. My friend on the other hand wants to be friends but refuses to accept her responseabilty for her actions against me.
On top of that unemployment is still getting me down.
After the passing of my grandmother last year I made a vow of chasity, to never have sex for a year so that 2024 would be easier on myself and my family. 2024 has been nothing but pain.
I am told by those who believe that God is testing my devotion. Less pious minds tell me that sex is all about pleasure and denying myself that release when I have too few is what makes the year seem like torture.
The recent positives I have had is thanks to other friends, touch football and threapy. My PTSD trigger from mean girls who play sports has been resolved. My friend's actions and behaviour being said trigger. It is not easy living with demons of the past. Especially since it has been just over a decade and a half later.
I restarted my blog, although under a new domain. After talking to other memebers of the Autistic community many suggested writing about my friends behaviour. Society never calls out bullies and exposing her, not fully, no names. But alluding to her indirectly. Those who know will know. Those who don't will at least be able to see what it is like for an adult with Autism goes through, how to handle or how not handle the situation.
The capital is a small city and word gets around. My corssdressing and foot fetish certainly have. That's a can of worms, pandora's box that can't be undone. Been owning it so far. Although anybody who resides on the right wing of the political and ultra of religion has disavowed me.

Sorry to hear this, I do hope for an up turn and I'm glad you have some positives to focus on.

Hey! How are you doing now? I'm sorry that things have been rough for you. You seem so kind and caring about others, but if you need to talk or vent make sure you're able to do so, plenty here including me will listen xx

I'm okay, but not great. I am trying to make myself do more creative things as that brings resilience for me, so that's positive.
Thank you for the offer to vent, I may take you up on that offer at some point.
I'm okay l guess...... These last few years had taking a toll my Mental state. Some days......l wake up not feeling just sad.....l don't cry just cry in the inside. I try my hardest to be happy....I just feel okay like l laugh l make jokes....but no matter how happy l make others feel.....l just feel okay.
The best things in life are dirty.

Anytime! I really relate to you with trying to do more creative stuff. It's very good for mental health! I wish I could do more of that too, but unfortunately I'm a perfectionist and judge the results of my attempts way too harshly; it puts me off. What creative stuff do you do? Xx

I'm a bit of a perfectionist too, so don't share too much. But I think it's worth doing even if I'm unhappy with the results as it's about spending the time doing something focussed.
I like Calligraphy, photography, and using paints and inks in various different ways.

Feeling okay is okay. Finding ways to feel good in general is tough, but identifying what brings us to a point of happiness is tricky. I hope you find it.
I've been doing pretty good lately, despite ups and downs.
I came back here after years without having an account, and have started contributing content... and for me, that's been a big improvement over the last handful of years of isolation (health issues related).
Of course, 3 days after I did this as a birthday present to myself, I had the nerve to hang up some clean laundry... and apparently pinched that nerve (0/10, would not recommend). Over three weeks later, and that's finally showing improvement!
So, yeah, despite some terrible news from multiple corners (3, because this post seems to be sponsored by the number 3) in the past three days, I'm in a good place.
Love and hugs to everyone who os hurting right now!

I don't want to be alive anymore. I won't do anything, I'm just tired. I'm tired of the pain. Physical, mental, emotional. I'm tired of the loneliness. I'm tired of my own family blowing me off.
If I didn't have this job, as miserable as it and the pay are, I don't know what I'd do.
