MODERATORS
Thank you. People in my life always seem to disagree. It's hard when there isn't external validation.
What about a month? Is that a thing?
Or even your year?
It hasn't even been 9 months yet. Baby's still baking.
How about just a good day?
For what it's worth, I was referencing the theme song from F.R.I.E.N.D.S.. However, I don't much like cheese, so you can have mine if it helps the lyrics not apply to you.
For what its worth I was referencing crippling depression.
But cheese always helps.
Hopefully things improve.
Me the last 10 years single fathering two kids yay. I so wish I could panel three into oblivion, alas
All days.
Just gotta do the best I can to make it to the next.
And sometimes there are bad weeks....
I've felt horribly depressed yesterday after drinking 4 beers, which didn't seem many few years ago, so I am limiting my alcohol usage. Sadly I can't stop drinking altogether, because I would need to stop socializing with people, as I think people think I am just boring, and my foreign language speaking skills are much worse when sober.
Love to us all
But no matter how I feel I'm supposed to go to work or get a docs notice on the same say 🙃
This is not the way life has to be. If this cartoon is you, your therapist is doing a shitty job, full stop. Find another who can actually help you develop emotional regulation and not be hostage to your own emotions.
wdym my therapist? I never had one!
This was my weekend 😟
Asking respectfully Here heavy means pressure upwards or pressure downwards ?
Downwards I assume, as in heavy on your mind/chest.
