Going to the gym will help you be happier, much like setting up your own business will help you get rich.

I don't understand how there are people that exist without their brains constantly trying to kill them. People are just happy? Wild.

Miss posted:I don't understand how there are people that exist without their brains constantly trying to kill them. People are just happy? Wild. It's weird, right? I had a discussion with a friend the other day about the idea of a mid-life crisis. I explained to her that it was something like a sudden feeling of "oh god what is the point of this hopeless existence" and thrashing around to try to find an answer. She was astonished that there are people who don't feel that way everyday like we do. Edit: Field Mousepad posted:No one is saying it's easy but it is pretty simple.

sneakyfrog posted:i dont trust super happy people If it makes you feel any better I'm not super happy, just constantly optimistic and ballsy. In my experience super happy people are usually hiding something, like violent tendencies or bodies in their backyard. No idea how I didn't turn out completely turbofucked after my childhood. Like, my childhood wrecked my mom. I got hella lucky.

It's a plaster (band aid) for real depression. It obviously helps but it's just a short term boost.

They sell essential oils and variations on that theme with a combination of multilevel marketing, in-home product parties a la Avon or Amway, and moronic pseudoscience. On the other hand, I am told that their stuff actually does smell good.

And yeah, it's hard to make a lot of essential oils not smell good, but I can buy vanilla at Michael's without someone telling me it'll cure depression. What a trip.

How about you start with this somewhere between your morning coffee and leaving for work? Imagine how great you’ll feel doing it once, twice. One more time every day.

Well you can probate me or ban me for this if you want but that dude doesn't have PMs and I'm just going to reiterate what I already said. I guess I can at least put it in spoilers so people have to make the active decision to read it. you feel worse about yourself because you know what you need to do so why don't you just do it already?? I know it's "simple" as I already said, I have made better choices in the past and got in decent shape before, I know how to do it. I've relapsed since then. Getting back into it is just something I seem to fail at over and over. Telling me I'm just making excuses really really super doesn't help when I'm already judging the poo poo out of myself for not doing it. Actual IOSM

There's this specific genre of people who comment on Facebook posts who are "registered nurses", and the way I find this out is because they're trying to defend pseudo scientific claims like "you can absorb sugar through your skin". I wish I had screencapped that particular exchange. PS: No ban or probation from me, but I did make your images a little teenier.

Just more proof nurses are the most woo-woo people among us. Found on Etsy. Oh yay you're a mom. Of a boy. Congrats you did exactly what your body is built for. Yay you. #boymom E: on topic of illness, one of our friends once told me my fiance could get rid of his cancer by becoming vegetarian and stopping chemo. The cancer is genetic and a ton of his other family members died from it-- chemo and rad saved his life. I never told my fiance, he really looks up to that guy

Dixville posted:I'm not gonna lie, I've been going through some pretty tough times lately between living 2,000 miles from my family (my choice but one that I've slowly started to regret) having basically only one friend outside work who has been kind of an rear end lately and never has time for me, a horrible toxic work environment that has turned into a total dumpster fire, neighbors being noisy assholes, and pre existing anxiety/depression issues that are making it super hard for me to actually change any of the above... Sometimes my cat and my dog have given me that one thing to focus on to not want to end it all. The dog has horrible anxiety and aggression issues (no the irony is not lost on me and no it wasn't apparent how bad they were when I adopted him btw) and he would basically have to be euthanized if I was gone because no one else can touch him without sedation. Probably he would go with animal control and they would have to give him a sedative with a pole syringe then euthanize him. His last moments of consciousness would be a nightmare. I don't want that to happen to him so I refuse to give up on life. Maybe it is a lot of responsibility for a dog but frankly it's not like he knows that. And if he died tomorrow I wouldn't just kill myself immediately and there are other reasons for living and blah blah. But it's something that's kept me grounded sometimes when things are at their worst, and it's made me feel like my existence has a direct and clear purpose - to prevent him from dying under horrible circumstances. It ain't that much but it's something. Aside from having 2 cats instead of cat and dog, how the gently caress are you me?

Every drat year. I have no regrets because the dinosaurs are awesome.

I have a family, but a lot of times I think the only reason I'm still alive is because it would absolutely break my mom if I killed myself. I've seen too much poo poo and it haunts me too much. I can't remember the last time I was happy for more than a minute.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science has an insanely huge and awesome dinosaur exhibit. They have other great exhibits as well, but dinosaurs. Just thought I would shoot that your way.
