I hate having severe anxiety stop making me believe everyone hates me when they don’t I know I am loved

How is it that in a group of 6, i am still the only one to walk behind? What have i done to achieve the radio silence from another, or the ignorance i receive for existing? I’m so tired of the fact that i am surrounded by people, but in the end, I’m utterly alone.

The magic of Majoras Mask is trying to comfort characters who are grieving their future through little acts of kindness. Like, the simple but layered juxtaposition of the joy of marching the chicks around on the third day to a little ocarina tune while the game vibrates every few minutes to signify that the moon is closer and closer to falling....

Remember the cartoon where the poor guy was misgendered all the time? No? Okay, i guess my memory is lying to me again.

The robins are always calm, cool, collected. This goes for all the Batkids, no matter what stage they are (robin, pre robin, post robin, alive from being dead robin) so imagine the utter fear, the horror every single member of the Justice League feels, literal gods and metas, when one of their composures snaps. Why? Because the Batman has gone missing.

Fucks me up jobs expect workers to show up despite wild circumstances. I remember at a former job having to traverse sub zero temperatures just to walk to my job because they refused to close the building. I remember having to work front line in covid as an immune compromised individual with no vaccine produced yet and when concerns were expressed, my superiors responded with "when workers get infected, these parts of the building will be closed". God forbid you lose a family member. You're expected to show up anyway.

Today my boss told me to contact an office to confirm if a doctor has his papers in order. I say: they won't pick up, and he asks why, to which I responded: THEY WERE IN DIRECT LINE OF MILTON, YOU KNOW, THE DEVISTATING HURRICANE PART 2?? WHY WOULD THEY PICK UP???

Dorian’s “Can you get revenge on the whole universe” line really stuck out to me because, like, yeah, that’s how it feels sometimes. Even in this specific context: sometimes D&D is a fantasy of awesome adventures with your friends, and sometimes it’s a fantasy of a profitable freelance career where you regularly get 8 hours of sleep, and sometimes it’s a fantasy of being able to react to grief and frustration and fear and injustice by going out and killing shit about it, because this is a world where the average moral code is overall more okay with lethal violence as a means of conflict resolution and sometimes people in it decide to, and refuse to stop doing, objectively evil things like unleashing potentially world-destroying god-eaters.

Wouldn’t it be nice to take all that hurt and fury and unleash it on someone who deserves it? Whether or not they deserve it in direct connection with the cause of your pain? When you’re mature enough to know that making someone else hurt doesn’t make yourself stop hurting, that sometimes there’s just grief and injustice because that’s, ha, how the dice fall on this bitch of an earth; but, god, you wanna anyway?

TTRPGs: for when you know it’s a bad idea to be a serial killer or even arsonist in real life, but damn, you can’t stop a war or fix or an unequal economy or reverse any of the deaths of your loved ones, so you want to just once cast Wall of Fire in a tight maze pattern then stand near the entrance bloodily chopping down anyone who makes it out, secure in the knowledge that there’s a cosmic justice to your wrath. It sure FEELS like there’s a cosmic justice to your wrath. You’ve been wronged and there’s no one specific to blame beyond The Way The World Works; surely it’s time to give a little back.

This is a very silly idea, but it refuses to leave my brain so might as well put it here (This is set sometime after Cars 3 by the way):

Lightning picks up a new game he’s interested in (the exact type/genre of game doesn’t really matter, it’s just some multiplayer game) and starts to play whenever he has time or needs to unwind after a long day.

He intentionally picks a username that is so generic/weird that there is no chance anyone would guess his real identity since, as much as he does love his fans, he really just wants to be able to play normally and not be treated like a celebrity for once.

After awhile of playing, he eventually notices a certain player he plays alongside/against a lot and decides to strike up conversation via the text chat. The other player is a bit prickly at first, but the two actually start getting along and friend each other in the game.

Whenever the two are online at the same time, they team up and play together, slowly becoming close friends as they get more comfortable with each other.

Lightning is completely unaware that the person he’s playing with is, in fact, Jackson Storm, who is also doing his best to stay anonymous.

Both of them are completely blind to who the other’s identity and thus shenanigans ensue as they try and not give away who they really are, not wanting their accounts to be linked to their real identity.

So they would both try and lie in the most believable way possible, neither picking up on the fact the other is also lying, thus leading to conversations like:

Lightning: if you don’t mind me asking, what do you work as? you seem to travel a lot for your job

Jackson (literally sitting in his trailer after a race): …

Jackson: accountant. wby? you seem to travel a lot for work as well

Lightning (typing the first thing he thought that sounded believable): trucker :)

Just the idea of them HATING each others guts in real life but being best buddies in game, venting to the other person in game about something said person literally did/caused in real life but NEVER connecting the dots about each others identity is very funny to me.

Guys my life is literally hell right now!

My home used to be so fucking peaceful, idk WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING but in recent years we have had cyclones here and the power would be out for WEEKS!

Another one hit us and the power has been out for days. Luckily we have solar with a battery but for whatever reason the water doesn’t work right here. We can only have freezing cold water so cleaning ourselves is hard. I was doing JUSSSSST fine until the fourth day where I had a nightmare about my abusive ex friend and her love of torturing me and I just had a “shower/bath” by boiling some water and using a wet towel to rinse off soap and for whatever fucking reason I have these weird rashes all over my body! I just took some medicine and rubbed stuff on my rashes but I am so fucking sick and tired. Also the internet keeps glitching in and out and it’s hard to draw because for some dumb reason clip studio ONLY works if you’re connected to the stupid ass internet.

WHY DOES ALL THE BAD STUFF WAIT TO HAPPEN IN JUST ONE DAY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[imayhavesomeissues]

I’ve made my decision.

I want to still be friends with lee and g and leo. They’re good people. I can’t find it in me to leave them forever, cut off all ties. That’s not what i want to do.

But i don’t want to hang around them during lunch.

I love the drama group more. There’s more people, and yet the group still manages to include everyone and make you feel welcome. They organise more events and catchups. They have better connections. I get to talk about interesting things that isn’t shit that gets tiring. I’m still going to be friends with my other group, but i want myself to feel loved. I want to be happy, and the drama group makes me feel like something more than just a figure on the sidelines.

I will never cut ties, but i won’t allow myself to deal with ignorance when I have ways of making myself truly happy.

I think it's funny how most of us here went from Sad™ and Depressed™ as children/teens, only to end up ✨Sad and Depressed✨ adults.

Funny in the way that, we thought things would never get better, and they did. And funny in the way that they actually never DID get better - we just learned how to cope.

Except that we actually *didn't* learn how to cope, we just got used to it. Which really means, we didn't got used to it - we are just too tired to care.

Going through my worse depressive bouts before felt like fighting teeth and nail for a way out. It was hell, and it burned, and I cared. Now I simply shrug and be thankful there's fire to make some coffee. Does this make sense?

It was so loud and shrieking before, and now is more of a constant heavy hum, always there just out of reach, clinging to my legs and feet, dragging itself on the floor like a old dying beast. Once in a while it remembers it's alive and rips by flesh with its teeth, without any warning. Then back to playing dead. It bites less frequently now but my God, does it hurt.

I'm glad to not have to constantly fight for my life anymore, but I miss the days when that was something I wanted. I'm afraid I tipped the nihilistic scale too far and now I'm just sort of drifting away, little by little.

It's too quiet now and I don't like it.

[whumperofworlds]

Can I just. Lay down and fall asleep? Forever? Not in a death way but just want to sleep through what I'm feeling until I'm feeling happier?

I know Skyrim would have just exploded if they did this, but I’m visually playing with this concept, but if they made Alduin Bigger, like substantially, blanketing the sky in some areas like an oppressive heavy cloud moving in he would have been so much more intimidating and they would have likely had to do something other than “Dragon number 34838947394 but in special nord heaven this time”
