How are you doing today?

Just checking in with you all how you are doing really. Like a friend.

I’m feeling numb so will be nice to connect with people and their stories.

🤗 what’s making you anxious?

Lack of work at the moment, lack of a routine, clutter around me and brain fog, constant doom scrolling- this is something I could get from the top of my head rn..

I am so incredibly tired of this. I just want the trauma to stop

u/Reasonable_Draft_541 3d ago

:( what trauma are you going through?

u/rendrich26 3d ago

Well it started with poverty in 2016, which caused my wife to leave me in 2017. Court battle for custody of my daughter in 2020, which went horribly wrong. Dog died in 2021. Fiancee left in 2022. My other dog died in 2023. Was deployed in 2024, which was an incredibly isolating experience full of gaslighting and being ostracized. The day I was packing to come home, my girlfriend tells me she met someone else

I appreciate your kind words... But life has been miserable for about a decade... Honestly I'm pretty well broken by now. I just wish I could be free of this suffering

What is the tiniest thing that is in your life that brings you even a bit of joy during these tough years?

u/rendrich26 7h ago

Honestly? Nothing. I don't know what that feeling is anymore

A bit apathetic, thank you for asking. You?
