Off My Chest
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.

There is other good advice here. If that doesn't resonate with you. use your living to on a hyper local level help people. If your life isn't good for you, go and volunteer at a food pantry or help pass-out food to the homeless as part of a group. It's a small and direct thing that you can do to make things not about you. There are going to be groups don't make it a big thing that requires organization.
This isn't about seeing if others have it worse or any kind of comparison. It's about building some self value and worth. Sorting boxes of food is something. Filling a bowl and handing to someone else is something and it's not about you. It's also likely something different then your usual and sometimes that is better.
