My realization came from DDLC. I learned about what other people can feel after you’ve left

Oh yes, definitely.
It wasn’t always the case. I started Journaling as a means to recover my mental health. The initial entries were really dark and I don’t read them often, perhaps less than once a year.
After I recovered, I started using it as a logbook for my own life. Initially I only just wrote events happening around me, or interesting world events, but soon I was writing my own desires to improve myself.
That’s when it really kicked off for me. Till now about 2 years had passed since I started Journaling. I would write about something I wished to change about myself, like reducing soft drink consumption, quitting cigarettes, or just changing my behavior a certain way. Gradually I would write about how I could go about realizing it, eventually I would do it.
Reading back I can see that today I am totally different from me a year ago. It’s really fascinating to me and it has helped me to stay way ahead of my mental health. I was able to recognize a relapse in my depression and address it accordingly.
A couple of things help me:
That last one is the best deal
That starting the work is half the work. I wasted a lot of time procrastinating, it took me shamefully long to realize that if I could just start an activity for 5 minutes, taking it to completion is then relatively easy
Sweat, make yourself love it. Train your mind to enjoy it when your body makes sweat.
Be consistent, do not lose hope or motivation after a week, or s month. Try to keep at it for at least a couple of months
I’ve seen many kids well into their 30s, and I’ve seen many old souls just entering 20s. Maturity comes at different stages for everyone, and some don’t get it at all. Don’t Overthinking the age gap, what you really need is mental compatibility. If it’s there then you’ll be fine.
Yeah, I didn’t see that and selected the wrong choice smh
Lemmy for me isn’t even close to what reddit was. Careful selection of several dozen subs over past many years meant that I felt at home browsing the feed. On lemmy, I’ve tried to join similar instances as my subscribed subreddits, but so far it’s empty. The situation is improving and I hope to one day see better content here than in reddit
Yes, but not in the way you’d think.
I think lemmy won’t be easy enough to use for a vast majority of users, they’ll stick to the traditional platforms.
However, I think if the hype continues for a while, and the little kinks are ironed out soon enough, it will give rise to a new, different kind of platform.
People have this idea that lemmy will replace reddit and just become Reddit 2.0. I think lemmy is still a place similar to a phoenix burning. The new bird has yet to take it’s first breath, and it’ll be quiet different from what we imagine or what we are used to today
After battling with depression for 6 years, my life turned around. In just under a year, I went from having suicidal thoughts to graduating and landing one of the best jobs in my entire country.
It took me a while to fully accept that good things can happen to me, I think it was almost an entire year before I was in a normal mental state.
Take a deep breath, understand what is the minimum required from you on your new job, do not fall below that, and just let the blissful feelings come in. Enjoy this moment, perhaps years down the line, on a really tough day, you’ll remember your current mood and be happy even in face of hardships.
Congrats on finally it to your dream :)
For me it’s their speed and safety. I’ve been using them since over a decade and I’ve never had any issues wrt viruses etc
The old outlook was just perfect, the new one is positively abhorrent. I swear if they force one more app to me I’m going to purposefully stop using it altogether
