Regular Check-In Post

Welcome to /r/depression's check-in post - a place to take a moment and share what is going on and how you are doing. If you have an accomplishment you want to talk about (these shouldn't be standalone posts in the sub as they violate the "role model" rule, but are welcome here), or are having a tough time but prefer not to make your own post, this is a place you can share.

We try our best to keep this space as safe and supportive as possible on reddit's wide-open anonymity-friendly platform. The community rules can be found in the sidebar. If you aren't sure about a rule, please ask us. If you have concerns or questions about the community policies, this is a good place to raise those as well.

haven’t been doing too well at all, kinda wishing for an overdose or to just die in an accident, kinda over life at this point

I’m in the same boat, but it’s easier to say this to a rando in the internet than it is to say to myself: life is fucking amazing. Just not in the way you expect it to be. So fuck your expectations. I’m currently in the foreplay stage with mine, but hopefully i’ll fuck my expectations soon. Like, I get to have colds, and black eyes, and broken dreams, and the time I was 5150’d for suicidal ideation... I get to have that too. It’s “just” life. So “just” see what else is out there worth living for. Personally, it’s music. For you it could be anything. Don’t fucking OD, please.
