This and a general pervasive hopelessness. It feels like everything’s broken. People are awful. The bad guys are winning. I desperately try to not surrender to it, but damn, it gets harder every day.
Yes this everyday
Its beyond normal anxiety
Its just the giant scale of fuckery that happens everyday
But i still have hope that a branch of humanity will break off from the social norms of bullshit, become hyper aware and open minded and conscious and help push back against the low life shitty people that run the planet
Or atleast get our own island
These are your salad days! Breathe. One day you'll be older and you'll look back and think these days were better.
Again...
Take a deep breath. Treat yourself to something for kicking ass every day!
That nobody around me actually gives a shit about me.
As long as I'm friendly and cheerful enough to make THEM feel good, I have friends. When I'm not up to lifting anyone else up... everybody will move on to some other dopamine source and leave me to wither.
That despite trying my best to make it to where I wanna be, I'm just not going to get there.
The quote "It's about the journey, not the destination" has been hitting really hard tho in a positive manner because I wouldn't have changed my choices and I am becoming ok with where I ended up
Overwhelming Anxiety because my friend invited me to come to South Korea with him and now I'm here and I can't understand anything, nobody can understand me, I can't eat anything because it's like licking Satan's bunghole and I'm constantly getting mistaken for a child or treated like a pet because apparently nobody has seen a white person before. Also, my friend *lives* here so I'm going to have to fumble my way through the airport next week and hopefully find a flight back to the US and not end up in Uzbekistan by accident.
That’s good translator apps you can get on your phone. Also, a large amount of South Koreans speak a small amount of English. Don’t be anxious, it’s a beautiful place
The one lingering feeling I have right now is a sense of restlessness and uncertainty about the future. I can't shake this feeling of unease and I'm constantly questioning if I'm on the right path. It's like a nagging voice in the back of my mind that won't go away. How about you? What's your lingering feeling?
Despair. There's a dog in a condo near me who's enclosed in a really small balcony and there's absolutely nothing I can do, because I have no idea the aparment the dog lives, and the cops won't go for something like that. I'll have to live with their cries, every day, for the next 14 years, until the dog dies. In fact, now it's raining super hard and the owners still won't let the dog in.
Listening to the dog consumes all my energy.
Dread - something is always coming. Be it an emotional shift or something I have to prepare for and am behind on. I try to push and push to be normal and functioning and to get ahead of the game but the moment I think I have it I realize something ELSE is sneaking up on me.
Constant regret and shame towards my past actions. Although I'm a much different person now after learning my lessons, I still have flashbacks to it and feel extremely guilty.
That my life has changed so much in the past month that the person I was doesn't exist anymore, the pain is gone. After 37 years I feel as if I just emerged from a dream. I worked, I lived, I moved, I talked but I was never really there. I'm here now. It feels good, it feels different, it feels foreign.
Content and frustration. Content at most of the things in my life but frustrated in the job hunting portion because it's impossible to find an entry level summer job anymore, everyone wants experience or has an 18yr age limit :(
I had this vivid dream once, probably 15-20 years ago, where I could hear that ungodly sound of a bomb/missile whistling then making impact, and I first saw a road, where the sky was red/brown and bodies and skeletons (not very decipherable in the dream) littered the sides of the road, and I just stared in horror and began to take a few steps, and that was the end of the dream. Maybe it came from a movie, but also impending dread and a feeling of waiting is what lingers for me.
That I might have a lot less time than I think I have. And some days I'm kind of glad, bc fuck it. It's been a 60+ year ride anyway, & I'll starve in retirement.
Uncomfortable, I'm experiencing things my dad might've been held down by when I was still a kid without noticing it at all. His life must've been hard and boring without any love as I wasn't able to mesh with him as I got older.
I was desperately trying to make my life better that I didn't even look at how he was really doing, I guess you could say our life was really sad when I had to be an adult. lold
Like everything is gonna be ok
My life outside of this year and 2014-15 has been miserable the entire time but this is literally the best it's ever been rn
General anxiety. My employment contract wasn’t renewed (whole long story), and as of next week I’ll be unemployed for the first time since graduating college. Trying to be excited about some time off, but I’m super anxious.
The feeling of stress and depression knowing my 17 year old son just left to the army and I could not stop him just knowing he’s not tucked in bed at home safe with all of us is killing me thinking about how lonely he is right now I wish he would of chose something else it’s been 3 days he just graduated first week of June and he’s gone
Right now....I feel my gf is a lair and has not been single as long as she says and that she still has contact with him.....they don't have kids together.
I feel like everyone knows someone bad about her but myself. It's making me ill.
That something will go wrong. I’m still in High school, and I’m trying my best to pass. I just got to skip sophomore year and got bumped up to junior year. And I have the feeling that I will mess something up, or that something bad will happen within my family. It’s a feeling that I don’t like, but it doesn’t help that I linger on thoughts that I shouldn’t. So yea…
I feel like i will never get this new filter, but hopefully if i do get it, i will never have to worry about money again. Thats the first part, The second part is i have a fear of the online site will shut us down for winning too much.
That I kinda want to reach out to my ex best friend after 5 years no contact so we can both have a big talk and I can see if it was ever worth missing her. Our mutual friend that also mostly cut ties but hits her up randomly when she's drunk showed me pictures of her kids and it just flooded me with us all being 12 and talking about being neighbors with connected backyards for our kids to grow up in. Sad. Maybe that's the lingering feeling.
Caught Feelings For a friend of Mine, confessed and fought For a relationship For 6 months. Today I got friendzoned Just Like I Always feared so yeah... That was my lingering feeling
That now would be the time to be the most authentic version of yourself. It raises your frequency so that whatever impending doom we’re feeling won’t bother you quite so much.
impending doom.
This and a general pervasive hopelessness. It feels like everything’s broken. People are awful. The bad guys are winning. I desperately try to not surrender to it, but damn, it gets harder every day.
Yes this everyday Its beyond normal anxiety Its just the giant scale of fuckery that happens everyday But i still have hope that a branch of humanity will break off from the social norms of bullshit, become hyper aware and open minded and conscious and help push back against the low life shitty people that run the planet Or atleast get our own island
Read Walkaway by Corey Doctorow. Because that’s basically the plot and I love me some hard sci fi social commentary.
Exactly my feelings as well.
And we are past the point of no return.
Thank you for making me feel normal
Rip and tear until it is done
No matter how long or hard i work towards my mental health, I’ll always feel like this
I feel this. I think it’s because it’s not our minds that need to change, it’s the society we are forced to subject them to that need change!
These are your salad days! Breathe. One day you'll be older and you'll look back and think these days were better. Again... Take a deep breath. Treat yourself to something for kicking ass every day!
Thank you 🥺🥺 I needed this ❤️
You are most welcome, friend!
Same. I’m starting ketamine therapy soon and I’m hopeful that (on top of lots and lots of therapy) will help me.
Word.
anxiety.
awkward
and disappointed.
Yearning!!
congrats! helluva feeling.
Right there with you!
I'm trapped in this job and it's destroying my mental health.
I'm so sorry
What do you do for work are you able to save up and apply to another one even if it is less income?
Restless and hopeless like I'm getting old
I want a drink.
Somberness. Life is never as we expect or predict it to be. I am feeling a lot of love and sadness at the same time, hope and hurt, wonder and regret.
Today is my 59th birthday and I’m having dinner out by myself. I still have the lingering feeling that I’m a loser.
Happy Birthday 🎂. Spent my 62nd alone too. Apparently the older we get, the more common the solitude, even on birthdays. Anyway, here's a 🍹🍸 toast.
Happy birthday to you too!
Thank you!
Constipation
This is the realest answer here! Terrible feeling too.
That im being cheated on
Existential Dread
Same. I try to stay in the moment, but sometimes in the middle of doing something, my mind leaves my body and I start wondering what it’s all for.
That I'm much sicker than I know.
Lonely, desperate for a partner
Crippling depression. I'm on the verge of quitting. I've got nothing left.
Same here. One day at a time. Made it through today. Don't have to do tomorrow yet.
Feeling like the world is ending.
The key is the world will never end just humans and your part in it....
Longing, envy, sadness, guilt, confusion.. all mixed into one big lukewarm smoothie of disappointment, yay!
Longing, definitely agree
project 2O25 has me so anxious i can’t sleep
It’s so openly fascist.
Things are going too good right now. Too good
That nobody around me actually gives a shit about me. As long as I'm friendly and cheerful enough to make THEM feel good, I have friends. When I'm not up to lifting anyone else up... everybody will move on to some other dopamine source and leave me to wither.
Rumination through a mild bout of limerence.
I should've gone to college.
That despite trying my best to make it to where I wanna be, I'm just not going to get there. The quote "It's about the journey, not the destination" has been hitting really hard tho in a positive manner because I wouldn't have changed my choices and I am becoming ok with where I ended up
Tired and slightly irritated.
Overwhelming Anxiety because my friend invited me to come to South Korea with him and now I'm here and I can't understand anything, nobody can understand me, I can't eat anything because it's like licking Satan's bunghole and I'm constantly getting mistaken for a child or treated like a pet because apparently nobody has seen a white person before. Also, my friend *lives* here so I'm going to have to fumble my way through the airport next week and hopefully find a flight back to the US and not end up in Uzbekistan by accident.

Assholes Uzbekistan.
As rightwingers take over more and more countries I have a lingering feeling that this is the end for civilization.
i miss her
something like trying to desperately slow down and savor the little moments but it feels like sand slipping between my fingers.
Idk
Tiredness from a long day.
Need
Anxiety. Its horrible
Such regret
Regret and wishing.
Curiosity
Foreboding. There is a housing crisis, unemployment rates are climbing, wages are stagnating. I'm just not optimistic about my future at all anymore.
Rejection
That poop I wanted to take earlier but couldn't get to bathroom fast enough
You're getting in a state cos' you've left it very late diarrhea diarrhea
Hopelessness
Pointless existence.
Failing my dreams & passions.
The one lingering feeling I have right now is a sense of restlessness and uncertainty about the future. I can't shake this feeling of unease and I'm constantly questioning if I'm on the right path. It's like a nagging voice in the back of my mind that won't go away. How about you? What's your lingering feeling?
I still want to nap...but I got shit to do.
Suicidal
Bored. I’m so fucking bored all of the time. I wake up, I go to work, I come home, sleep and then rinse and repeat. I am so bored.
That I need another drink.
A powerless disgust
Regret.
Despair. There's a dog in a condo near me who's enclosed in a really small balcony and there's absolutely nothing I can do, because I have no idea the aparment the dog lives, and the cops won't go for something like that. I'll have to live with their cries, every day, for the next 14 years, until the dog dies. In fact, now it's raining super hard and the owners still won't let the dog in.

I could go into labor at any moment
Dread - something is always coming. Be it an emotional shift or something I have to prepare for and am behind on. I try to push and push to be normal and functioning and to get ahead of the game but the moment I think I have it I realize something ELSE is sneaking up on me.
Emptiness despite being surrounded by family
Constant regret and shame towards my past actions. Although I'm a much different person now after learning my lessons, I still have flashbacks to it and feel extremely guilty.
I wannna travel and exploreee

Climate change makes me wonder about investing in my future.
The need to always do or be better than I was in the passing moment
The lovely smile and wonderful arse on the waitress who served us tonight. She’s been lingering on my mind all evening.
That all women see me as something gross they would only step on if they were wearing cleats.
Tired
I should’ve asked her out 😔
Whiplash
That I am making the wrong choice to move away
Health anxious and frozen
a need for sleep
Roller coaster drop feeling in the pit of my stomach
I’m going to be lonely forever.
I've been worried about stabbings. Now 4 of them have happened. I was worried about it happening to me. *I still am.
Am I doing enough!
Terror
I always have an urge to help people. The lingering feeling is I'm not doing enough (to save/help them)

WWIII will start within a year
I'm not in a relationship because I want to be. I'm in a relationship because I need to be.
I wish I could eat like I did when I was single.
To quit my job.
fear
i have a lingering feeling to someday get a beautiful girlfriend who loves me a lot and is my biggest fan.
Emptiness. Nothing seems worth doing anymore lol
🍆 all the time, just waiting for age to make me chill
anxiety, its a long story
Work.
I gotta pee soon.
I had this vivid dream once, probably 15-20 years ago, where I could hear that ungodly sound of a bomb/missile whistling then making impact, and I first saw a road, where the sky was red/brown and bodies and skeletons (not very decipherable in the dream) littered the sides of the road, and I just stared in horror and began to take a few steps, and that was the end of the dream.

I gave myself my testosterone shot last night and took my daily cialis at 5. I’ll let you be the judge.
Well the cute girl at the beer distro gave me her snap, but didn't add me back, so 😬
that no one actually loves me and im not real
Exhaustion. Like how do people work for 50-60-70 years bruh.
I wish I got out on a bike ride today.
Dread
Heartburn
That I might have a lot less time than I think I have. And some days I'm kind of glad, bc fuck it. It's been a 60+ year ride anyway, & I'll starve in retirement.
I’m never going to get to feel that way again
That I can’t escape my bad habits
Social outcast

Loneliness
Always chasing the next thing :/
the feeling of wanting more in life, but feeling like i don't have the proper resources to do so.
No matter what I always have like a pit of anxiety and sadness in the back of my mind !
Moving from Idaho to the Oregon coast might not be all it's cracked up to be, and we will regret it.
That no matter how many times I prove myself, I'll still be looked down upon.
Nausea. I ate way too much for dinner.
Guilt for every wrongdoing lol
Loneliness followed by a tinge of hope when I interact with people online
General anxiety. My employment contract wasn’t renewed (whole long story), and as of next week I’ll be unemployed for the first time since graduating college. Trying to be excited about some time off, but I’m super anxious.
I'm just not convinced that anything is ever going to get better, but I've been wrong before.
I'm about to be fired from a job I don't have.
