I’ve been commenting regularly, not towards the top, posting a little but mainly battling depression tbh. You guys showed me a lot of support when I said how badly I felt and I’ll try to feel better, but it’s just really hard with all I’ve been through and all the regret I have. At least I’ll be living on a college campus while finally going to a 4 year university for the first time in January
You’re so right pede, preach!!!!!! I appreciate the kind words brother, you and all the support that The_Donald showed me here on .win recently as I said really helped me out, as I was down in the dumps to the furthest degree before everybody chimed in and one person said “Trump would want you to be STRONG!” Thanks for telling me the date dude!!!!! When I saw that announcement I was so fucking excited!!!!!!!!!!! A million pede rally like holy shit! That will be lit as FUCK!!!!! It could be the first time I ever see him in person, as I was at the incredible July 4th salute to our troops celebration in 2019 but we and 100k+ (including ppl of all nationalities! were behind the stage. Thank you again man, I’ll do my best to keep a positive mindset and power through finals week rn. Have a great night! Shoutout to you and everybody else who have helped me out 💜 Happy Veterans Day!
It sounds like good things are coming your way! Hang in there. Depression can be tough. As a mom, I try to keep my boys on track mentally. Here is my unsolicited mom advice: Get enough sleep everyday. Electronics off at night and let your body and mind rest. I can not stress enough the importance of a good night's rest. That being said, get up during the day. Eat breakfast and make your bed. Make sure you are eating foods that fuel your body, not garbage. Now for the two really important things-get outside. We live in Minnesota. Our ground is covered in snow right now and it is already cold. No matter. Get outdoors. No excuses. Finally, play a sport or exercise. You don't have to go insane, but take a walk. Sign up for a rec program or an intramural activity at college. Keep busy.
As for the regret, don't dwell in the past. Depression is too much time spent focusing on the past, anxiety is too much time spent focusing on the future.
Trust that sometimes things don't happen TO you, but FOR you.
If you are ever upset and feeling down, send me a message. I am here to listen.
All around excellent, I would also add for people to be consciencely aware of their "Holmes and Rahe stress Scale" totals, where events and things in life (good and bad) add stress; and when it gets too high, most people get phyically or mentally sick from it, and start making (or not) bad choices or framing perspectives.
So things on the stress tests like "getting a new job, moving, change in daily routine, etc." College btw is usually stressful by design, and not supportive by design in most major big public colleges, many professors see it as their job, to wash students out rather than become part of their major(profession). Be sure to make good friends, and partake in sports/gym of some kind (throughout the year). The mind requires a healthy blood supply and good nutrients (and even more when being loaded heavily).
Find a good church.
Also I don't think it was mentioned, do not partake in activities which will make things worse as a temporary stress or mood changer as a crutch, it will fail at some point.
PS Don't let the lefties take you out, and don't let them make you take yourself out!
Remember, no matter how hard or bad your situation is, it can always change for the better; and GRATITUDE is the key to happiness in life. Learning to be genuinely grateful, and don't count the things "you don't have". Like here, we don't have running water for 22 months now from the commies and corrupt cutting it off; does that make me/us sad... no. Don't let others dictate your mood, ya this is hard for many people to do; but with practice, you'll realize like FLOTUS Melania says when someone talks bad about her, "It's not my problem, it's their problem." She doesn't let them wreck her day.
And one more thing of advice to all, don't try to be a perfectionist either. As one sermon I heard once said, "Only GOD is perfect, we are human. We make mistakes, that is part of life, learning, and growing as a person. It's okay to make mistakes, recognize them, appologize for them to someone else if need to, and learn from it. Don't think yourself a GOD, we are human."

Damn, mama pede, this is tippy top advice!
All great advice. It's hard to follow sometimes but getting into a routine is the hard part, keeping it up is a little easier.
You sound like a top mom!

We love you! Every day is a chance to be better. When my going gets rough, I just ask myself what would a Viking do? It works!
I never saw this quote before, but it's great - you might like it!
