what do you do with it?

Just a light-hearted post.

Me- I’d keep it, unless I saw someone actually drop it.
Me- What I’d do with it? Probably buy some me some “nice” food somewhere. I know, $20 ain’t fine dining, but whatever. Or some ice cream… 😛

You- ?

What would it be?

While money won’t 100% take away my depression and all my issues, it sure would help eliminate or reduce a good 80% of them. Money IS important. Money DOES make one “happy,” either directly or indirectly (by reducing stress, etc).

Anyone who says “money is not important” is either well off, never had to struggle, had parents who always took care of them, or are in denial.

Anyways, I wish I had 5 Million USD (or Euro, or Pound, or KWD) so I can just bounce and do whatever I want and go wherever I want. Ah…won’t that be the life, to not have […]

And all the rich assholes that make life hell on Earth for us. Paying people the lowest possible wages, giving us the shittiest customer service reps who are fucking slow and incompetent. Spent 2 HOURS on Chat with SEVERAL agents, plus several more on the Phone. SEVEN agents later- And issues are STILL not fixed. JFC.

If talking to stupid and useless CSR’s for HOURS don’t make you want to blow your brains out, then you’re lucky.

How can “experts” be right when half the “experts” say 1 thing and the other half the exact opposite? Even when you have a consensus among “experts” like drs or therapists, they are often wrong. Most scientific “research” is funded by either Big Phar.ma or some other organization that has a stake in the outcome. So can we really trust any “research” that is out there?

We all “laugh” at the stupid medical shit ppl did back in the “old days,” like giving kids and babies cocaine for their toothaches or just to stop them from crying. The “coca” in coca-cola […]

Self-Help Books are Fucking Bullshit.

Either it’s all “think positive” crap or it tells us to “just think differently.”

Yeah well thinking differently doesn’t change the facts- if you are poor or sick or have no job, or a job that pays shit, “thinking different” or “thinking everything is fine” isn’t going to magically change your situation or make your problems go away.

Actual lines in this self-help book I’m reading:
“We think that wanting is the source of our satisfaction. In fact, it is the source of our dissatisfaction.”
“To want to is believe that you are lacking, inadequate.
The present moment lacks nothing. The […]

Life is bullshit.
Life is rigged.
Life is unfair.
Life is too much stress.
Life is lonesome for those who are misunderstood or not understood.

Life has too many problems. Or at least those who aren’t wealthy enough to just buy their way out of some problems.

I seemed to have missed that memo…

I just don’t see how “wonderful” life is. -_-

Anyone familiar with the Island of Misfit Toys? I’ve always felt like one. The anti-social ones have always been treated as the weird/odd ones.

But maybe it’s the rest of the world that’s crazy- humming along like a machine run on slave/peasant/min wage labor. Maybe the rest of us just can’t seem to “fit in” amongst all the cogs in the wheel bc we don’t want to be cogs.

Maybe some of us have taken the red pill and can’t unsee the shit that’s our lives and our prospects as just another cog in the wheel, as a chronically poor or “just barely making […]

Do you even trust published data anymore? Until Covid, there were NO studies showing a realistic # of how many unhappy Americans were. All the studies showed 70%-90% of ppl being “happy” with only a small tiny fraction listed as “depressed/very unhappy with life.” Even after Covid, now, most studies STILL show ~71% of people being very or rather happy with life. Which…I don’t believe. Definitely NOT 71% happy in the USA.

The data would have you believe that the vast majority of ppl are happy with their lives, which is just NOT true. Just given the income data- where […]

their life will get drastically better and they won’t be depressed anymore? Maybe the young ones have hope. But for people >40…?

who would it be and why? Could be a real or fictional character.

-_-

and your drs- especially Primary Care Physicians- do not listen to you, do not give you the proper lab tests to find out what you have, or refer you to specialists bc they just don’t believe you?

It’s fucking insanity with PCPs act like cockblocks- they are literally gatekeepers keeping you from seeing specialists and from getting proper labwork.

Why does life have to be so sucky? Like tons of stress, worries, money worries, health issues, etc. Just a litany of crap and more crap in our lives? I mean look- most of us are here with REAL LEGIT issues that leads us to have depression- whether it’s a shitty job, lack of a job, shitty pay, shitty boss, shitty asshole neighbors, or our shitty lot in life. Our depression isn’t going to be gone or solved unless our REAL life issues gets solved. And many of our life issues are hard or near impossible to “fix” or get […]

Tell me something to make me feel better. Not the usual “everything will work out and be fine” stuff we always hear bc apparently, everything has NOT worked out well for most of us here on SP.

Maybe a joke. Maybe some funny story. Maybe a link to a YT short. Feeling bleh. -_-

And just HOW do we get JOY back into our lives?

1- Do you believe you’ll ever attain happiness?
2- Do you believe your depression will ever go away for good?

First, insane fire in CA burning everything
Now, there’s a SNOWSTORM- in FLORIDA of all places

What’s next- fireball in the sky?
Probably, if we get into WWIII- OR we destroy our planet by all the pollution/greenhouse effect/global warming/etc

Just thought I’d post something funny and light-hearted.
Hope at least 1 person gets a chuckle out of this:
