But you're near the top of the mountain. Look down from time to time to see how far you have come
...But maybe I'm just overreacting
So I have a headache right now and had this super weird dream ( I'm sure occultist simulator has something to do with it). I got the vaccine and kinda feel safe and sick at the same time.
So about everything falling apart . Firstly, I haven't had a job in ages so no moolah. It's not that bothersome but people are starting to judge me for not having a job and I also feel purposeless sometimes.
I also feel like I cannot person anymore. I look at everyone and either get annoyed or get inferiority complex. My ruminations go like- he's younger than me and earns xxx amount of money. He's gonna open up new businesses - and I feel like shit afterwards.
One part of me wants to go somewhere quiet and just write about what has happened in my life in the past 6 months. How I've grown and how it has broken me.
Last October, I was actually in a decent mood (in ages). I don't remember being that relaxed and happy ever. At one point I even fell like my anxieites were cured. But it feels like I'm regressing to a ferral,non-person, noncommunicative, unbearable asshole again.
I've also kinda stopped hanging out with my friends and it's been almost a month since I've seen my friends. I just feel like I'm rotting and at this age I should know that I'm not getting any younger. But that doesn't stop me from just feeling bad about myself and becoming stagnant.
This feels like a lot. I feel like I've burdened you guys with my rambling. Bartender, a round of drinks for everyone..on me. And a glass of gin and sprite for me (and keep em coming).

Noswaith dda, ~sonam! Thanks for sharing, it's stuff like this that is (one of) what pubs are for...
I agree with ~mouse that writing can be very therapeutic. Also, good advice ~inquiry, BTW do you happen to have been exposed to the ideas of Douglas Harding?
~sonam thank you for the drink.
You are not burdening. There is nothing wrong with a good ramble, a way of letting thoughts spill out so you can organise them.
Maybe writing down the last 6 months might be an idea - on paper, on a text file, here.
If you were in a good place last October, means it's possible - you can do it again.
You're okay fella - keep going.
~bartender - large bowl of chips/fries for the bar to share!
Not a burden at all. Sorry to read you're feeling other than 100%.
This is going to sound trite to the point of ridiculousness, but the only cure for any/all self-related maladies is genuine - i.e. practiced - selfLESSness.
So... find things to *do* that increase the chances of forgetting your self (note: the best such things tend to be helpful/nice things for others).
And if/when such less than blissful feelings return, get right back up on that self-forgetful, others-giving bike, and ride the living fuck out of it....
