@frog4gtc @dieworkwear I would vote for Comrade Carrots.

@dieworkwear lbr Comrade Carrots could have done a better job at that than our current kakistocracy

i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this

@RyanHoliday If you are suffering, hang in there. You are not alone. There is hope.

How to Find Meaning in Suffering: - Put your energy towards helping others - Be grateful for what you have left - Look for beauty everywhere - Make your ancestors proud (suffering doesn't skip a generation)

@cessonmute I lost the first 49 yrs of my life. I lost the first 24 to "maladaptive daydreaming". To protect me, my mind took me far, far away from reality. I have few memories of those yrs. I lost the next 25 to profound depression. I was suicidal for 25 yrs. I should not still be alive.

give me your survival arc

@JClapCPA Agree. #GoBeavs

Beavs be bouncing back next weekend! Bats will come around…. #GoBeavs

@ThrillaRilla369 Let people in. Find several people that you trust and tell them but you are going through.

To any who survived rock bottom… what’s one piece of advice you’d give a someone who feels like giving up right now?

@AIPandaX Oof. This thread hit hard. Thank you for posting this.

I told my therapist: “I feel safest when I do everything alone.” She didn’t even ask why. She just looked at me gently and said:

@schiz04renic Let people in. That is, I started telling some people this I was struggling.

During a very dark period, what was the best thing you ever did for your mental health?

@KupcakeProse That is super helpful! Thank you for sharing that. I just finished the first draft of my first book, so I don't have a refined process. My book is nonfiction, and here is how the process looked for me: 1st: Dump thoughts 2nd: Organize thoughts 3rd: Do a "compassion pass"

First draft: be a storyteller Second draft: be a writer Third draft: be a reader This is my process. What’s yours?

@MrJacobEspi That is legit inspiring, Jacob.

@GrulkeLamonte Fantastic! Thank you for building homes like that. And thank you for sharing details so generously.

I build $200-$250k homes, and I can honestly say it’s very difficult to make money from them. I’ve posted a few examples of my complete cost breakdown.

@Joseph_Fasano_ @boaeditions Thank you for sharing your words with us, Joseph.

I'm giving away this signed copy of The Last Song of the World, which includes most of my recent poems. Just leave a like/comment so I see you, and I'll add your name to the drawing. I hope poetry reaches those who want and need it—and those who may not yet know they do.

@BeukieGaming Outstanding!

Ummm so guys they published one of my drawings in a Star Wars art book and credited me for it so now my name is in a Star Wars art book forever

@recovery_your It is wild, and comforting, to read your post. For the past seven years, when I tell a quick version of my story I say, "I lost the first 49 years of my life."

Nobody talks about the grief of realizing how much life you lost to survival mode.

@MrJacobEspi Holy shit, that is good.

@atlasx100 The things that have helped me the most are: 1) Be open to growing 3) Have vulnerable conversations with trustworthy guys 4) Practice being fully present 5) Talk lower, slower, & less 6) Practice being steady & undisturbed 7) Acknowledge your emotions, especially shame & grief

@Dearme2_ I battled severe depression for 25 years. Relief came after four years of: 1) Finally telling some people 2) Getting professional help 3) Beginning to understand trauma

Men who have overcome depression, what’s your secret?

@elchandler Finishing: Remembering Earnest Hemingway (James Plath and Frank Simons) Starting: Kristofferson: The Wild American (Stephen Miller) Listening to while driving: The Best Of Me (David Sedaris)

What book are you reading right now? 📚📚

@RyanHoliday That is both meaningful & meaningless advice. It is meaningful because it is more foundational and important than people realize. It is meaningless because it is not that simple. If it were, then many/most people would have done it. It is very, very difficult for most people.

Decide who you want to be, and then do that work.
