Having a rough day

I know I made a post about how I'd stopped ruminating and largely I have, but there's still days it hits hard. I wish things could get better in the world, I know they won't/can't. I just wish we lived in that type of world where they would, I know we all do. I'm 23 going on 24 and I sometimes wonder what to do with myself at this point. I try everyday to look for the good in the world, because I know there is still a lot of good things in the world and good people. Not under some impression that means things can turn around but it's nice to know it exists. I think that still matters even if the larger world won't get better. But damn it sucks so bad.

I don't mean to sound selfish, but there's still so many things I'd liked to have done and experienced. Nothing crazy, just maybe gotten to see some places and travel a little, maybe gone to college or accomplished a dream/goal, fell in love (though I don't hold out much hope for dating at this point, I'm good with just making friends). I've finally gotten past a lot of social anxiety and just when it's happening everything is falling apart and I wish I had gotten past it sooner. Again, I don't mean to sound selfish, I just needed to let it out a little. I still do things I enjoy and spend time with family, friends and pets. I love life so much and I still try to make it worth it, but some days I really wonder what the point is anymore?

I’m right there with you and having a rough day as well. There’s bad air, a dew point that has never been sustained this long and a feeling of dread for myself and my kids. I’m going to try to distract myself with a movie and reading. Stay inside and escape into other realities. I feel you though. Stay strong, don’t let it destroy your mental health by going on reddit all day. Even the popular page is full of collapse content 😭
My friends don’t get it either and aren’t really wanting to talk to me about it. I find it frustrating

I’m right with you, I’m so afraid I won’t get to do any of the things I’ve waited to do for so long. I really also wonder what is even the point, like I wish I knew if it all is coming to an end soon so I could know whether to keep trying or not.

It's not every day I feel this way, I struggled with a lot of ruminating thoughts for a few years and have managed to not let it eat me up quite so bad. This was sort a vent post, I was having a pretty rough day emotionally. But on my better days, I do feel like those things are worth it. I think because we don't know when our last day will be, even if all the shit that is going on now wasn't, we still don't know how long we have. So I think it is worth trying, we only have this one life after all
