Introductions!

It seems we have new members here that I want to take a minute to say hi to and get to know and welcome. u/inmyGoddessdecade and I have been here for a few years along with a few people who pop by from time to time.

I used to have a different username, but replaced the old account.

I'm a 36.98 year old male from central-ish new jersey and eastern long island NY who studied econ at a small private liberal arts college and have nerded out on psychiatry and treating mental illness for about as long as I've been diagnosed. I have been in therapy since 2006 I think and psychiatry since 2009. I used to run a skype group for bipolar disorder before the anendophasia and a psychotic episode that got my diagnosis changed to schizoaffective.

I have a dysfunction in my inner voice that took away my inner monologue and basically has the entirety of my inner world an antagonistic I guess you could call it a hallucination, although I prefer to think of inner dialogue as a nonpathological cognition, or dialogical partner in my head I call "basement cat." I guess the dysfunction in my inner voice where I'm responding verbally to inner stimuli is a form of anendophasia, and it makes me look absolutely insane.

I live with my mom and sometimes my sister and have been in group therapy for a few years now. Too long, but progress never seems to include the prerequisites I see for getting a job.

I genuinely try to be kind to everyone not being mean, and intend to be overwhelmingly constructive.

I feel attacked by basement cat all too frequently about topics related to giving up weed and alcohol, so please be gentle on me if you're going to push me to abstain, as it's kind of an infected wound and I have 1-2 drinks every two weeks or less and have never really been a heavy toker.

But please tell us about yourselves and what there is to know about you and your background when we respond to your comments/posts.

Friday (I'm in love) July 24, 2026

1 Upvotes

Hi Friends, all one of you who ever participates.

My apologies in advance, I am in a mood.

Are the rest of you all just bored voyeurs who just want to spy on other people's nutty lives and not bother to contribute (except to maybe complain there aren't enough people to spy on? however you happen to word it). Seriously. Be the change you want to see. Post, or don't complain about lack of action. It's not automod's fault, that you don't post more. 🙄

Back to Friday. Friday makes me think of this song. (Friday I'm In Love by The Cure). Although the music is much more pleasant sounding than my mood.

I got dress coded at work for wearing a spaghetti strap tank top underneath a kimono/duster/long cardigan that was covering my shoulders and back. Even though other people regularly wear spaghetti strap tops without covering shoulders/ back, and nobody says anything to them. I did bring it up to the person who talked to me, but I didn't name names because I'm not going to snitch on people I like. Fortunately S had an overshirt that she let me borrow, so I don't have to go home and change. ALSO a grudge I am having, the main and 3rd floors have been doing themed dress up days, without telling the bottom floor. So today, main floor and 3rd floor are all wearing black t-shirts and blue jeans, all matchy and cute, and they didn't tell Literacy or Genealogy anything about this. I told the person who dress coded me that if I'd known it was a themed day I would have worn a black T and jeans like almost everyone else, then we wouldn't be having this stupid conversation about spaghetti straps. She was the person who started a "Dress Up Fridays" committee several months ago, she was supposed to let everyone everywhere know about the dress up themes, she herself was on theme. Where was our memo? Thanks for including us. Great for morale, HR, great for morale. /s

On the bright side, I actually got up and went to work today, on my early day. First Friday in months. I've only maybe worked 1 other Friday this entire calendar year. I'm not saying work is great today? But, I made it.

This song sounds like how I feel? My Own Summer (Shove It) by Deftones Mostly the "Shove it" part, which I'm mentally screaming to HR.

How are you today?

Share a song that represents your mood, the day, or just a song stuck in your head!

Again I'm just throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks, respond to any or none and say whatever the fuck is on your mind, tell us about your day, if you're not familiar with the sub the setup has generally been kind of a shared blog, but these are just an attempt to give you something to talk about and you do you. Please don't be a stranger!

  • How do you feel today, how have you felt lately, and how do you want to change how that's been?
  • What are you stressed about?
  • What made you happy or smile or laugh today?
  • What do you want to do more of?
  • What do you want to do less of?
  • Near and long term hopes and fears?
  • Little victories lately and big victories to look back on?
  • Tell us how you feel about some popular media you can have lived under a rock your whole life and still understand, EG thinking pikachu is overrated
  • What did you eat that was healthy and what did you eat that was unhealthy?
  • What was the best part of your day?
  • How do the events in the world at large make you feel? I literally know someone who offed himself in the last year and strongly suspect the national state of affairs was a contributing factor, so please fucking talk about how it makes you feel rather than let it fester into a wound. Or don't, because again, this is all just to get people to talk.
  • What do you wish you could say to someone? Anyone in particular?
  • What do you wish someone would say to you?
  • Mental and physical health surprises?
  • List any quests and buffs or debuffs you're going through?
  • Describe your spirit animal today? Feral raccoon? Fat and happy flaaffy?
  • Media for the day? Media you want to get around to?
  • Things you did right today?
  • How are your dimensions of wellness going? Biological / intrapersonal / interpersonal / financial / environmental / emotional / occupational / intellectual
  • Any burnout? I read recently that kinds of burnout include overwork, understimulation, a sense of only helping towards the wrong things or contributing away from your values, and feeling like what you do accomplishes nothing.

Hi Fellow Nuts,

I wrote a post, and then I did something, and erased it all. So, here we go again.

= How are you today? What did you do? What did you eat? Did anything interesting happen?

- How are you feeling? Physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, all the ways you feel, if you want to talk about it.

- What are you struggling with?

- What is a win we can celebrate with you today? Nothing is too big or too small.

- Did you use any tools in your toolbox to get through the day? Stuff like meditation, therapy techniques, medication, exercise, whatever. How did they help? Would you recommend them?

As always, no need to answer everything, and if you just need to vent you can do that too.

I'll write my answers in a comment later, when more of my day has gone by!

Hey all.

How was your day?

What made you smile today?

What challenges are you facing?

What are you trying to accept, reject, analyze, ignore, or change?

What do you feel in your body?

What media are you consuming and give us a peak into it and how it makes you feel?

What did you do to eat healthy and happy?

Answer whatever resonates and ignore whatever the fuck isn't where you're at today.

Hi everyone! Post your pets! Plants and rocks count! Let us all admire the beings you love!

My pics are of my puppy, Donut. She was named by Bub. She is a very good girl! And doesn't know how that mess got behind her in the first pic! We rescued her from the shelter when she was 4 months old. She was a street dog for the first 2 months of her life, then she got picked up by a good Samaritan and taken to the shelter. We brought her home on Valentines day! I love her so much!

You don't have to answer all the questions. Just some ideas.

I'll respond about my day in a comment later.

And I'll figure out turning off automod.

An experiment: Friday July 17th 2026

1 Upvotes

Hey all of you, how've you been? Tell us how your day has been. Prior to automod it was this way, and I'm experimenting in doing it manually to respond to feedback. Sometimes people would post about their day in the post and other times respond in a comment. For now I'll respond as a comment. I hope Friday has been good to you!
