What are your thoughts on 2021 in personal life and in general?
This will go down for me as the worst year ever. I’d be hesitant to say rock bottom in terms of lows, but I won’t because it can always get worse. I, uh, really don’t see things turning around in the USA anytime soon.
Sorry to hear that comrade. This was one of the worst years for me as well. I’d say I hope that next year will be better but I said that every year and it just gets worse. Turns out that hope is worthless in hellworld.
At this point I can sort of deal with it getting worse, I mean it depends on what and how it gets bad, but I just want my grief over mom passing to let up.
the only thing that will help that is time. it’s just a fact. I think the healthiest and most helpful thing to do is to accept the fact that you’re going to be sad for a while, but also not to be frightened by it because you know that it will pass with time. just engage with your sadness for what it is.
it will probably take about 6 months to really let up. that sucks, but it’s also important to recognize because the context helps you avoid a doom spiral.
ngl i healed a lot mentally this year. i actually very much enjoy that i didnt come in contact with many people, people seemed to very much enjoy invading my personal space before covid. :sadness:
been feeling happy very regularly. reminds me of when i first started transitioning a long time ago
It was very mixed. The first half descended into some life threatening lows, but I was able to find a safe living situation (now just me and my cat). Thanks to that move I was able to make a lot of progress in terms of mental health and looking positively towards the future. I also accomplished a lot that I’ve been putting off, so I’m wrapping up this year much more at ease and hopeful
