This is not a mod-approved thing but I want to support the sub so I thought a (daily?) thread where we can check in with each other might be nice. I can see it being easier to post a comment where you ask for help rather than a whole new post.

I'll start.

I've been dealing with undiagnosed chronic pain for about 18 months now. While I'm not always in pain, I am in severe pain every single day.

I fell back into a depression that I had climbed out of 3 years prior and was mired in it again for more than a year.

After a lot of work, I've pulled myself far enough back up that I'm just starting to feel the breath the of wind and the touch of the sun.

I feel strong, committed, and able. I recently took up my volunteering work again and it felt so good to feel useful.

How are you doing?

Let us know even if everything is great too! You deserve to enjoy it and others benefit from hearing it.

This is not a mod-approved thing

It is now. We will be doing check-ins like this. As the sub grows, we'll need to fine-tune the frequency.

I've been dealing with undiagnosed chronic pain for about 18 months now.

That must be so tough! I'm not sure how I would deal with that.

I feel strong, committed, and able. I recently took up my volunteering work again and it felt so good to feel useful.

That's great! More power to you! Would you mind sharing what kind of volunteering you do? Volunteering is indeed one of the best things to do when you're in danger of depression.

How are you doing?

Thanks for asking! Doing pretty good. It's summer holiday (I'm a primary school teacher) and the weather is decent now that typhoon In-fa has passed. But we have just been ordered not to leave the city, since the covid-19 delta variant has broken out in nearby places. I am vaccinated, but breakthrough cases exist, so we still need to be really careful.

Sure, I volunteer with my local seniors and at the local food bank. Volunteering is great and is a great way to get to know your community.

And glad to hear it! I hope you enjoy your holiday. I'm lucky enough to spend it with my kids this year so it's been a good one so far.

Great to hear!

Hey man I read this the other day but didn't say anything.

I hope you recover from all of that though.

I really like seeing you around Reddit.

I know you're more than just a screenname on an Internet forum but hopefully that's some kind of consolation for you.

Definitely take care of yourself.

[–]peanutbutterjams[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Just noticed this. Thanks for the message! It's nice to be more than another comment.

I'm definitely taking care of myself, even leaning into the wind and pushing my limits.

I posted a monthly art challenge for this sub so I hope you can join us.

Lastly, I respect the hell out of your posts. They're well-researched and support egalitarian ideals.

You are making a difference. I think of it as another shoulder to the wheel; I remind myself that a reservoir is built of droplets.

Keep on keeping on.

Things are hard for you but well done for keeping yourself together and taking time for helpling others !

​

I struggle with focus and I am being eaten, distracted by the political issues of my country while I should just put it aside and focus on what I have to do.

[–]a-man-from-earth 2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Yes, focus on yourself first. Political activism will always be there. Your mental health may not.

I'll definitely be checking in to read them and try to possibly help others, so thanks!

[–]peanutbutterjams[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

That'd be really helpful for the sub, so thanks for chipping in!

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
