RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I think Lemmy, Reddit and all the rest are making me angry, depressed and hopeless (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

It's just, too much, so much bad and evil happening and I can't take it, nor can I look away.

I use these platforms to distract from the gnawing constant loneliness I feel that never goes away.

I can't spend more than 5 minutes without a video playing or checking some kind of media to fill the void.

I'm feeling so suicidal nowadays, but I'm stuck in this existence for the time being.

Music.

I get like this, and put on music, full albums as of late, because then I can set my phone down and wander.

Yesterday I was restless and put on Jesse Welles and went out into my garden to pick bugs off my lemon tree. Ended up weeding my garden after, spending a few hours out there. Felt whole afterwards.

I don't feel like I have any privacy on my balcony and I hate being observed when I'm doing private things. Also my cat can't go on the balcony and that makes me never go out.

ooooooo.

I struggle with this too. I dont like to be observed so it will keep me from my own yard. I have to time when I do any work in thd front, to when I think my neighbors are all busy. Its fuckin weird of me, and I totally get what you mean.

Ive been working on it. I noticed my neighbors dont give af about it, and really I am trying to figure out why I care who sees me. I think I fear judgment. Im working on it. I can only take my bike out early or late, never in the middle of the day for the same reason. Also something Im working on, this being a bit easier than working in my front yard.

Keep mulling over solutions your comfortable with. Dont need anything to just, think. Im glad you have kitty company, at least :)
