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.

So, you've already made your choice, then?

[–] KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yup, woke up this morning and chose depression, thanks!

No you didn't, but depression can make a lot of choices for you and it's difficult to see the options around you that you have until you force yourself to do something different.

Idk where you live but I am willing to bet there's a food out reach program looking for volunteers within 25 miles unless you live In a super rural area.

I know you implied you aren't up for it earlier but whatever your doing right now is clearly isn't helping, so maybe something outside your comfort zone?

Humans are social creatures even if youd rather be alone most of the time, like I do, and getting involved In a community mutual aid program really helps others and can help yourself.
