Depression Support Check-In: March 16th-24th 2023
Hey everyone, I'm really sorry that this check in being posted really late. I have finally cleared up my schedule a bit to check in with all of you :) I wonder how are you doing this week, so feel free to to answer our questions for you below:
1) On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, how would you rate your feelings at the moment? Feel free to tell us why!
2) Have you found your true happiness? If yes, what is it? If no, how would you like to find it for yourself?
3) Do you believe in the phrase "happily ever after" ?
4) Are you happy with being yourself or your life? If not, how would like to change it to the way you're happy about it?
Some of us may think that true happiness is an exaggeration statement that one would use. It's understandable that each of us from different perspectives which produced different opinions. However, I still believe that each of us here today deserve happiness in our lives, it doesn't need to be as a big achievements, wealth, or maybe fame to be our cause to happiness. Sometimes, the things as simple as life is going well, having good company by our sides, or getting a good rest can contribute to finding happiness for ourselves. Life sure got a lot in store for us that it makes our life bittersweets.
This doesn't mean that you need to be happy all the time. Being happy all the time could have negative effects on us as well. Thus, if you feel like you want to cry, to be sad, be frustrated or feel scared, please let the emotion in. These emotions are crucial to build a healthy emotion and mind within ourselves.
That's all i got for our check in this time, I'm looking forward for all your replies. Take care and stay safe everyone!

) On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, how would you rate your feelings at the moment? Feel free to tell us why!
Around 2. Loads of reasons why, really.
2) Have you found your true happiness? If yes, what is it? If no, how would you like to find it for yourself?
I'm not entirely sure. In a way, yeah, in my partner and my current situation. I just kinda struggle accepting that internally in many ways. But one step at a time and all that.
3) Do you believe in the phrase "happily ever after" ?
Not in the slightest. I know it can exist to some, but life's good at throwing stuff in the way. I guess it comes down to how we all interpret the phrase "happily ever after" and what we can do in our personal lives to achieve that. I'm not in that advanced of a state yet.
4) Are you happy with being yourself or your life? If not, how would like to change it to the way you're happy about it?
I'm happy with my life right now. I'm not happy in myself. I'm a work in progress, guess I will be for the rest of my life. And it definitely takes a toll on the life itself, too.
Did you want to tell us more about what you are struggling with right now?@OneErased
@bestVase7265
Mostly struggling with existence, accompanied by all the other mental stuff going on. Nothing new, really.
I know how hard it can be. Can you name one thing that was different in the last week? @OneErased
@bestVase7265
Well, all the differences have been negative, so I try not to dwell on those and improve the situation. But I appreciate the concern and you asking, thank you for that.
Always here to listen and try to help you find ways to turn things around. @OneErased
@kdsyahirah
Hi, kds,
I don't know what to call you. Is there a shortened name within kdsyahirah? Please let me know. Thanks.
1) On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, how would you rate your feelings at the moment? Feel free to tell us why! 4 because my car needs to go to the service center and I am expecting catastrophic news. This car has had constant problems since I bought it two years ago. I'm just bracing myself for them to tell me the car is not worth fixing. Or for them to tell me that my extended warranty does not cover the work that needs to be done.
2) Have you found your true happiness? If yes, what is it? If no, how would you like to find it for yourself? No, I haven't. i think its complex. there are a lot of "ifs" between me and my true happiness.
3) Do you believe in the phrase "happily ever after" ? not entirely
4) Are you happy with being yourself or your life? If not, how would like to change it to the way you're happy about it? I'm working on it.
I hope that you have good news on the car repair front. @purpleTree4652
@bestVase7265
Thanks, Vase!
@purpleTree4652
Hi tree :) people usually call me by sya or kds, but if you would like to call me by other name it's welcomed as well. I'm sorry to hear that your car has had constant problems that you need to get it repaired. It must be costly just to get it repaired or to place with anew one. I can totally relate about the ifs you talking about. Maybe both of us have different perspectives but I kinda understand with you about that one. Wishing the best for you. Thank you for sharing with us.
1) On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest, how would you rate your feelings at the moment? Feel free to tell us why!
8/10. Feeling great
2) Have you found your true happiness? If yes, what is it? If not, how would you like to find it for yourself?
Let's just say that in every stage of life the definition of true happiness changes and is never constant. Yes, I have found it but have also lost it.
3) Do you believe in the phrase "happily ever after"?
Nothing is forever in this temporary world. Honestly, I feel pity for people who think somebody promising them to love them forever is true. Either people leave you due to XYZ reason or they die or you could die before them.
4) Are you happy with being yourself or your life? If not, how would like to change it to the way you're happy with it?
Yes, I'm extremely happy with the way being myself and my life. I have more than what I asked for, more than my imagination, and more than what I deserve. I'm truly grateful to The Almighty God for every single thing
@kdsyahirah
Glad to hear that things are going well! Go you! I know that you have worked hard to get to a better spot. @lyricalAngel70
Overall okay. I am a little worried about my husband's health at the moment but we should know more in a few days. @lyricalAngel70
Yes, thanks for the good thoughts. I think we are both trying to put it in the back of our minds right now, but he did wait rather long to get his first colonoscopy. Hopefully they caught whatever it is at a good moment. @lyricalAngel70
@bestVase7265
Vase, God bless you both.
I am so thankful to God that the condition was detected promptly. Sending strength and my best prayers to your husband and your way ♥️
Much love,
-Angel 💜

Good time of the day, haven't been here for a long while, and yet..
1) On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 being
the lowest and 10 being the highest, how would you rate your feelings at
the moment? Feel free to tell us why!
Probably a solid 5, maybe a bit higher. I'm aware that things could be a lot worse and in comparison with me even from a year ago I'm doing better. Yet I feel unproportionately miserable and alone right now. Maybe that's because there is a lot of stuff I need to take care of right now and the 'nobody can help you but you' part of adulthood is finally looking me in the eyes now, but I feel like maybe there is more to that. I haven't had a proper human connection in what feels like eternity and this loneliness eats away at my last will to keep going.
2) Have you found your true happiness? If yes, what is it? If no, how would you like to find it for yourself?
Not sure I have. I have goals that I think would make me feel better, but I can't be sure about anything right now. It feels like the only option for me to get any closer to happiness is to become a proper human first, which is a hard task to fulfill, but I'm trying.
3) Do you believe in the phrase "happily ever after" ?
Not sure how realistic it is, but I sure would like to believe that it's possible for at least some of us. In my mind the concept isn't really about a perfect match but rather acceptance and willingness to work together, if it makes sense.
4) Are you happy with being yourself or your life? If not, how would like to change it to the way you're happy about it?
Not really, to be honest. I'm still not at the point in my transition where I feel comfortable with myself, I still haven't achieved my current academic or carrier goals (wanted to say 'any' but that would be a bit too much self-deprecating talk for the night). So in the meantime I feel quite useless and unlovable. The main way to go about it is to stay alive I suppose, the time will pass and maybe I'll get better.
Thank you for the check-in questions.
Goals change a lot over your life because life is constantly changing directions. Basing your opinion of yourself on whether you achieve them or not may make things harder. Sending peace. @eugenNerd

1) On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, how would you rate your feelings at the moment? Feel free to tell us why!
5 I'm not at home right now. I'm on vacation with my family and I feel like I left all bad thoughts and times at home. So that should be a good thing, right? But I'm home in a few days and I can already imagine that I will be depressed as soon as I'm back. I'm at the sea and here I feel more at home than where I'm actually living.
2) Have you found your true happiness? If yes, what is it? If no, how would you like to find it for yourself? I think being not at a place you don't connect with bad ans sad memories is good, but as soon as youre back you can easily fall again.
3) Do you believe in the phrase "happily ever after" ?
Sometimes
4) Are you happy with being yourself or your life? If not, how would like to change it to the way you're happy about it?
I was told that I would be a selfish person and that i wouldn't respect others around me. I'm thinking a lot about that. I guess they're right and I can't belive how everyone was hanging out with this kind of me...
It is hard imaging that the bad is going to hit again, but it is never inevitable that things will be rough. @UncreativeMe
