Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both β200β and β160β are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When youβre a kid, you donβt realize youβre also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Or because one has depression the the parent think less of them since they don't "act normal" and they get threatened with getting left out of the will... π
(It's me, I'm the puddle of depression... guess why I'm even depresed in the first place... thanks a lot, mom π₯²)
Having an Illness ist nobodys choice and in a perfect world this wouldn't be held against anyone. People are pepple though. There's lots of noise, bad decisions and working on oneselfs traumata, because every person has his bad experiences, some more so of course. I guess your parents, too. Theirs might not compare with yours in your eyes, they are stuck in their shoes though.
++ Understanding what some mental illness mean in real life and in some specific variants/phenotypes is difficult non-affected.
I'm sorry to hear that. Some parents are worse than useless, which means you get to make your own connections with people you choose. Is the money in the will enough to buy your obedience to someone who actively makes you depressed?
Heathcare is expensive and I need their ongoing financial support to even seek treatment for depression lol
Catch 22
your have parents that had anything to leave?
most of us dont get that far
