Give Your Best Anyway, Even When You're Feeling Depressed

"I try not to #struggle against the #feelings of #hopelessness. They can follow me around in sulky silence like a fly at the border of my #brain ..I may be moving at a crawl, but I know that I must keep going, even if I think there’s no point.": buff.ly/L72TwWt

#depression #MentalHealthMatters

why do I have a flat affect? perhaps years of being ignored while being told to be the best, left to my own devices to be a mediocre student maybe a mediocre human I'm full of hopelessness with a side of worthless and "you're a disappointment" for dessert - it's enough to drain the life out of anyone like a beast who thrives on pain and misery like one would suck the marrow from bones but to do that to a beast while it's still alive would be cruel - why is it okay if it's feelings and words instead of actual bones?

A lifetime of being basically an afterthought, if you're thought of at all, hurts.

(I'm ok, this is just for the poem - suffering for my art and all that)

what if we could feel the earth contort, shift with each push we force on it what if we could shift with each force the earth feels as it contorts an ocean and moon relationship we, the breath, to the earth’s lungs Would each day shine a little brighter, each act cut a little deeper would each day cut brighter, shine deeper a moon and ocean floating ship would the future still feel so hopeless?

And as the last shreds of hope
leave this vacuous hole,
the circuits spin with restlessness—
devouring spirit whole.

It’s a damn shame the
Trump administration
is still insane
Is Iran another
never ending
war and because
Of it gas has
gone up food
gone up bills
gone up I’m sick
of inflation and these damn
war taxes 🇺🇸
citizens tax money
going to weapons
manufacturers

A poem "Bridge to Change" by Robert Emond. Sitting in the sun by the sea in the paradise of So. Cal. Hopelessness overwhelms. Money, work, kids - stress - can see no change. Sitting in the dark of the hospital. Heart succumbed. Told very high likelihood of being dead in 5 years. Sitting in mortal contemplation. Hopelessness evaporates. Happiness, love, acceptance - peace - time to change. Sitting in the sun by the sea in the paradise of Oregon. Heart healthy. Made the choice to change, to live.

As we drift down
To the pit of despair,
Hope floats up, and away.
The hope is still there,
But we are not.

hapless and hopeless

A lingering
#hopelessness
in the grey sky
and the
forbiddening
clouds on
the horizon
even as the dawn
lightens your eyes
you cannot see it

I'm going to repost you just because it's a useful foil to say that you're wrong. History says over and over that you're absolutely incorrect. #Hopelessness is a #habit of #minds. It's not #truth. There's no truth in a mind and you're not going to catch up to that for a long time. Think positive.

Opinion | ‘It Feels Like There’s No Jobs’: 12 Gen Z Voters on the U.S. Economy (Gift Article) The group discusses the labor market, work and how A.I. and hustle culture are influencing their lives.

#Hopelessness and #Cynicism are two things that can easily destroy an entire generation.

We must all work together so that no one feels this way.

I feel like I've been hearing the same promises for 20 years and it's getting harder to keep hoping for change.

"I Want to Disappear": Understanding Passive Suicidal Ideation & Burnout Do you ever look at the door and wonder what would happen if you just... kept walking? 🚪 You aren't planning to hurt yourself, but you wouldn't mind if a meteorite hit the earth, or if you could just go to sleep for a month. If this sounds familiar, you aren't "crazy" and you aren't alone. You are experiencing Passive Suicidal Ideation. In this deeply personal episode, we give a voice to the silent struggle of wanting to pause existence. We explore why the brain triggers this urge not as a desire for death, but as a desperate defense mechanism against emotional exhaustion, burnout, and the crushing weight of modern life. We take a fascinating detour into the phenomenon of Japan’s "Evaporated People" (Johatsu)—those who literally stage their own disappearances to escape social shame—and ask: Is this the ultimate fantasy of the overwhelmed mind? But we don't leave you in the dark. We break down the science of cognitive distortions and offer real, grounding strategies to help you reconnect with reality. From behavioral activation to finding the tiny "glimmers" of hope, we show you how to treat your weariness with compassion rather than judgment. This isn't a sign that you are broken. It’s a sign that you need rest, not an exit. ❤️ You matter more than you know. Press play to understand your mind and find your way back to the light.

"What in particular are suicidal people hopeless about? If #hopelessness is key, why then do relatively few hopeless people die by #suicide? In my view, the answer... is perceived #burdomesomeness and failed #belongingness and... hopelessness is not sufficient"

Tears of blood,
Flowing like a river,
Into crystalline waters,
Once full of vibrant life,
Now lifeless and sorrowful,
Brittle bones laid upon,
Its nothingness bottom,
Fragmented and forgotten.

Of course, this is cut ✂️ down by $100 from what they owe me, but the raison d'etre of the whites in the flyover fiefdoms of #hopelessness & no #wages & no #healthcare & no teef in "Right to Work" fiefdoms is to keep the hoi polloi as poor as possible & never stop standing on their necks.
