Nothing. I just kind of ride it out. Every day.
A little bit of exercise should help. Start with walks?
I’m going hungry most days. Walking doesn’t help.
You alright?
Nope.
I’m glad you are open about it. That’s a good thing. Are you open about it to anyone close to you in your life? Or not close to you? A therapist even?
I’ve been out of work since April. Trump stop funding the government department that employed me. Instead he sends troops to cities. As an American I can’t afford a therapist. Even if I had insurance I’ve had nothing but bad experience with therepy. I don’t have family that will help me. I’m going hungry most days to stretch my budget.
In a couple months I turn 40.
Judging by the other answers here you should get a pet. I hope you are seeking help.
Pets annoy the hell out me. I hate animals to a point where I became a vegetarian years ago. I’m not trolling, I’m 100% serious.
I’m very lucky to have a friend that doesn’t try to make me “feel better”. She just sits with me and makes me feel… not alone.
I hope I can return the favor one day, but more importantly I hope she never feels this level of despair to begin with.
Cat head bump.
My dog. Him being happy makes me happy.
This is usually it for me, but recently I’m feeling down because there’s a strong chance that my just-turned-one-year-old puppy will outlive me. By a lot. And then her life would be depressing because my partner would largely leave her home alone, not play with her, not take her anywhere, and not keep up with her medical needs.
Meanwile, I don’t actually want to live as long as she should and I would feel so guilty leaving her behind, even if I end up having little or no control over it.
So I alternate between living for my dogs (the other one is getting old, so I don’t worry about this with her so much) and wishing that I had never gotten the puppy. But of course, I got the puppy so I wouldn’t kill myself when the older dog dies. It’s a conundrum.
Cats, sex, drugs and food. In that order.
As long as the cats are consenting!
Cats first, wow.
I stand by what I said.
I love them
If you’re in a rough mood, you would rather pet your cats than have sex if you could choose, is what you’re saying? Not judging, just trying to gain perspective.
Male/female/other?
Sometimes what we would choose isn’t what’s best for us.
There’s just something about sitting in a depressed lump on the couch and having a cat hop up and snuggle into your lap that does wonders for your psyche.
I am male, the cats vary.
Getting harder and harder but my go tos are walks and baths and my dog. food and drink is nice but tends to get into more of a wallow situation. that can be nice sometimes though.
It’s all chemical for me. Eating, hormones, etc
Weed
cum
My go-to since 1983 is listening to the B-52s album Whammy!
a nap
My wonderful cat and a cozy book
Fluffy pet and a book is a great combo!
Sex.
I can coast off the high from a good fuck for about a week.
Kissing a kitty belly.
A solid nap.
