Void Screaming

60 readers
21 users here now

Scream Your Unpleasant thoughts into the void! Sometimes it makes them quieter! ...sometimes. (Almost) Everything is OK! I will remove only select things if they suggest other races or genders should not exist. otherwise, SCREAM.

This is the corollary to c/mentalhealth where you have to be concerned about not triggering others. Here, you can just say it and have it witnessed or temporarily vibed with. Sometimes you just gotta let the void call out to quiet it, and this space is here for you.

I do recommend that you perhaps not subscribe to this community to avoid regular negativity in your browsing experience. Just let this space be here for you when the void is consuming you and you need to scream at it to get it to back off.

If you do choose to respond to a poster, please try to VALIDATE them (validation =/= support/encouragement for such thoughts). You can tell them their thoughts are things that exist and that deserve to be heard without telling them that those thoughts SHOULD exist or that they are supposed to be thinking them. Doing so is an art, however, and it's ok if you have not mastered it. Thank you for being here.

I don't know what I'm doing, I hate my job I hate my life, all I do is work, get stoned, sleep wake up repeat, I yearn for a passionate community someone that cares as much as me but isn't tied to a wage or a visa to enact change.

I want to run away but I'm scared I'll end up dissapointing eceryone.

KMS seems like the easy way out but I can't allow myself to do that people depend on me.

Why am I so weak? What should I do? Why am I here? Will I ever find love? Is it all a lie?

You'll find love

Play some Videogames!

What kind of change are we talking here? Cause there definitely needs to be some

[–] tpyoman 2 points 5 months ago

Hey Highways, I work as a Dev in corporate and desperately want to change a few things that would help everyone but there's no buy in coz it won't make money its just QoL things.

Problems are almost always temporary. Maybe not temporary as in "can be fixed tomorrow," but as in "can be fixed."

Determine what you want in life, and make a game plan to get from where you are to where you want to be.

In my life, I found the best thing was to find mentors who had achieved the things I wanted... Not one mentor who had everything, but different mentors for personal and professional life goals.

It's not always easy or quick, but you won't just magically wake up one day with the life you want. Make a plan, do the work... It's not a guarantee for a perfect life but the best way to get the life you want is to be intentional.

Thanks Nothing, yea I've been in therapy for a while and I'm working on myself but some days are just hard you know what I mean.

I've been there friend, and I've had being okay far away from myself for a long time. To answer your questions.

Why am I so weak?

No, you're not weak. Feeling weak is something everyone feels sometimes. It's okay.

What should I do?

Maybe you could reach out for help. Just because you're paying a professional to provide counseling or medical treatment doesn't invalidate the work that they and you are putting into yourself. I can't say what course is right for you.

Why am I here?

I wish I knew why any of us were here, but alas that's one of life's biggest mysteries. The best answer I've ever heard was "to embrace the absurdity of your own existence, and experience it."

Will I ever find love?

Keep looking, it takes time.

Is it all a lie?

Yes, but not the way I think you are thinking. The lie is the expectation that we should have all the things that make us happy now and all we need to do is follow the path set up for us. That's pure bullshit we're fed from the cradle to the grave. Following someone else's path means they've already used up the good stuff. Step off the path a little every now and again.
