I hate to ruin the little guy's notion of the future... but we have summer interns and the reality is sinking in. One of them said that the days are schmeering together, just a blur of meetings and email and work. I let him know he has 40 more years to look forward to. His soul deflated just a little bit right then. Muah ha ha ha ☠️
Had 4 suicides in my family this year+ 3 attempts. Lost all my friends but two, got almost hospitalised for severe anxiety, depression and BDD. Built up my courage for months to talk to the guy I had a crush on only to find out he changed establishments the exact day I had planned to speak to him. I lost nearly 15 pounds (I'm already underweight) due to my nervousness that keeps me from eating. Tried killing myself, woke up with a terrible headache, had to take time off and got dangerously late in everything I had to do. Now I'm overwhelmed. Did I mention I'm in debt and constantly f*cked up by the tons of pills I have to take to keep it together?
Ps: I ended up texting him this morning and I deleted messenger in a whim. I used somebody else's profile to check my Facebook and he hasn't written on my page or liked any of my pictures so far. I'm panicking.
EDIT: oh yeah did I mention I got stalked by a man for 3+ years? The guy found my address and phone number (not listed in public records...), pinned one of my best friends to a wall to force her to bring me a message, left 15+ notes in my belongings- some threatening me- plus 3 roses, one padlock (yeah. A padlock...) and 2 tickets to events in the middle of my stuff (papers & purse). This is what caused me to develop anxiety in the first place. The good news: he never physically harmed me and now there's a restriction on him. This is one of the few times where I actually thought like the first panel. It could've been so, so much worse...
I'm generally an extremely optimistic person, but "It could be worse" strikes me as a horrible philosophy. You could let yourself sink all the way down to the second-worst position in the world, with a mindset like this.
