36(almost 37)M. Service member (won't disclose which) and a chef by specialization/trade. Pagan, husband, and father. The past couple of years have been one financial/personal hit after another. Just looking for some kind of positivity.

Stuck in a slog recently, I know it won’t last forever but stuff just seems so daunting/draining to do sometimes

18th birthday was kinda lonely but i had a great time with my one good buddy. 17 was a very hard year and there was a whole lotta darkness crammed in there. I’m not just celebrating my birthday this month but also being 6 months clean from opioids. I’m so thankful to be here :)

had a tough few years since the pandemic with my mental health. just turned 25 and hoping to properly get back on track :)

30(M) Determined to regain my confidence after 3 years of severe depression, anxiety, substance abuse and self loathing. I'm making progress but I'm so lonely and I can't get over this hump. Simply no longer hating myself is not enough, and I feel like I've hit an insurmountable wall after developing a hopeless crush on one of my best mates.

Stuck living at home, can almost afford to move out but I fear it would be too much for me to take.

I feel like I'm doomed to an endless cycle of self sabotage and romantic failure. I'll happily answer any respectful questions you've got about what/who/how I am, what I do and how I live. Please Toast Me.

Much love to you all

I did everything to work myself and push beyond my limit and go over 1000x to make myself feel better, I went to therapy but I hate it because I don’t like being told what to do and they only told me to go to some dance class and I don’t even dance at all and that only for women and they only told me to go to some events which I did but none of them went no where because I haven’t met one person despite that I did put myself out there but none show interest towards me and I’m so tired of life…. It started to break me mentally and I’m at the end of my wits…. So I quit therapy because it not for me at all…. I would rather do activities and truly make me feel better about myself and reminded that life is beautiful but I get treated like a bad guy for prefer to do activities instead of going to therapy and accused me of not trying harder and I’m not emotionally drained and I’m crying g right now…….

I’m going to college but I’m started to hate college because it all work and I don’t have enough to enjoy college experience and to have college friends and I don’t know if I will ever have friends at college

My meds have stopped working. My hobbies bring me little joy these days. Waffle (my lil fuzz ball) is why i get up most days. I don't need advice. I know all the things. Itll get better. Just looking for some words to help get me through the night i guess
