My date canceled on me at the last minute on Monday due to family drama stuff (that does match up with stuff she told me last week, to her credit) but I'm just really sad and lonely and wonder if I'll ever actually get to see her, since we're really vibing over text
I feel selfish and guilty whining about it on the Internet to strangers on the communist weirdo hexagonal bear website, but also I am drinking Kraken with Sprite and smoking the Devil's Lettuce and I just wanted to give her a big bear hug like I promised I would and that was cringe I shouldn't have said that but now I'm posting it 
Haha aww it's okay dude, sometimes you gotta let it out. It sucks that you couldn't see her, but there's always next time! You'll be okay, I know it!
I asked her if she liked The Shape of Water and she said it was one of her favorite movies, and then I referenced Galaxy Quest and she was all "are you trying to make me have a big crush on you" and you don't pass on that shit
Thanks for the support, you always come across to me as an incredibly nice person who spreads love around frequently
Is being emotionally numb and wanting to do nothing more than mope in bed to the point that I can barely take care of myself a form of sadness?
Oh yes, "bleakness," a classic! I can relate. I think you deserve care and I hope you feel like giving yourself some soon ❤️
I've always referred to it as the rotting stage.
This is beautifully evocative! I'm gonna start using it
I gotta go to my local psl because I just moved, but what if im awkward and dumb. I met them once already and they are really cool and do cool stuff unlike me who is LAME.
Sometimes being lame makes you sad even if your new friends are so cool they don't care you're lame and like you anyway
I don't even know you and I like you, you're named after the play starring the parrot from Aladdin

LMAO.
"Yours by this hand: and to see how he prizes the
foolish woman your wife! she gave it him, and he
hath given it his whore"- in the parrots voice.

Kinda always
literally me fr fr ong no cap
I mean
Yeah
I had nice dreams about being around tons of people at some kind of giant tropical "a bunch of people crash landed here and now they're having a party like a liquor commercial" thing and there were people everywhere and it was great and then I woke up and obviously that is not the case. So I'm eating microwave pizza at midnight and seeing what I missed today in the wild world of shitposting. Feesbadman.jpg
That was a deja vu vision. See you at the plane crash part when capitalism falls comrade 
Cat died last week. She was always there for me and now it feels like my home is empty. I've had her for most of my life and I dont really know or feel the same about anything.
Also, hey, thanks for making this post ❤️ my favorite medicine for bad feelings is finding a way to put some kindness out, so thank you for the opportunity you've created.

My sister in Marx that's incredibly sweet & u are a real one for this I should make this my go-to as well
You're welcome. It's nice to feel appreciated.
coworker opened up about some relationship issues they're having and it felt shitty to hear. "i don't want to die alone, man". i'm not gonna go into specifics cuz issa smol community out here but i personally think they can get over it if they trust each other and are open to each other's positions. but i've also been blessed with a chill relationship for so many years i feel guilty even trying to give advice.
tl;im drunk: i just want folks to be happy :(
Same, just want folks to find people they can lean on
Working on that myself
Me deciding to work in climate adaptation: "Sure, things aren't looking good but at least I can do something that makes a difference."
Me getting the requisite education: "Okay, the best time to act would have been two decades ago but there are still opportunities to avert the worst of the consequences."
Me working in climate adaptation: "Holy fuck we have zero idea of the hell we are unleashing upon ourselves."
Honestly hexbear is the best place I've found to commiserate because at least people are willing to acknowledge the existence and scope of the problem, but even here I try to keep the extent of my bleakness under some wraps because I don't want to be that guy (even though I'd imagine I'm 90% that guy). And I've shouldered just a small fraction of the burden climate scientists must be feeling. If you see one, give 'em a hug because they probably need it. We're in for a rough future and the ones who had the power to prevent it but chose not to are going to die safe and comfortable in their beds and that is a damn shame.
Still feeling like I should've just become a musician or a hermit pottery gnome or something.
Yeah I just have no desire to do anything. Lyme is kicking my ass, but it's just exacerbating existing depression and anxiety. I don't really have any ambition, my enthusiasm for even the few things I semi-enjoyed has been sapped, and I really feel alienated from everyone around me. It got so bad I literally had like a derealization episode. I felt like nothing was real and I was going to blink out of existence.
I want to enjoy things and have actual friends but goddammit. It's all pretty dumb considering people out there have real problems but holy fuck, I've backed myself into a mental corner. I feel like I've crossed the event horizon in my life and I'll never escape now.
The realisation that trying to do anything commie will result with me being ostracized from society and jailed for 2 years. Bot even mentioning the rampant careerism everywhere else, including unions that are not Solidarność. 
I've only got one shot, and the thought terrifies me. 
At least you funny little gay people in my puter give me hope. Thank you for that
Solidarność.
they're still around?
tell them to go away, they've already won
They'll never let go. They are the union in the country, the others might as well not exist. Union and workers rights here are dogshit, everything was gutted after 1989 after the "workers movement" won.
They are the only ones that have even a modicum of power and they are used for negotiating absolute scraps for workers.
The anti-worker workers union, by and for the interests of capitalists. But you do get the feeling and vibes of someone sticking up for you. The perfect facade.
my roommate is a fundamentalist christian
my other roommate is a kundalini yogi witch
neither of these women believe in climate change
yes, sad
Do they fight crime together
Sup motherfuckers? 
get in loser we're being sad
fuck yeah 
good ebening
I'm kinda less sad this week, but it's a work in progress
I'm getting established with a new medical provider for the 5th time since getting diagnosed with ADHD in January, and I'm once again between prescriptions, and watching the way it wrecks every aspect of my life hasn't been fun.
I have so much less patience for everyone and everything because my fucking head is full of bees. My emotional regulation is rekt, my communication skills are trash, and it is taking a toll on every aspect of my life and every relationship.
I forgot a major bill less than 48 hours after my husband reminding me of it, and it overdrafted our account. When sorting that out, I discovered another one I had forgotten that thankfully wasn't on autopay, so no overdraft fee there, just a late fee.
I've been unmedicated for only two weeks as of tomorrow. I can't nag these people to help me - I am terrified of being labeled a drug-seeker - but omfg I need my medication back.
At least I can pay the bills when I do remember them, we have a home and enough to eat, my husband is super understanding, and he's not going to fire me from our home business haha so... It could be worse. It could always be worse.
Just really hate my unmedicated self. She has repeatedly ruined my whole life and I don't want her to do it again.
I've fallen so far behind on my thesis that I can't muster up energy to work on it and when I do I just keep thinking "this is such bullshit, my whole idea is bad, why did I choose this path?" So yeah.
I'm sad because I feel too fat for my own comfort and I've only just recovered the stage of recovering from the mental damage the very long threat of homelessness did to me. I also.don't have my medicine yet so walking hurts. My doc visit is at the end of the month and idk if they'll prescribe me what I need. I'm tired. And sad. I just want to feel comfortable in my flesh, pain free.
I'm so sorry. Being immobilized by pain and watching the havoc it causes while you wait for help and healing is awful. May every morning bring you increased strength and flexibility, and may every rest bring you greater ease and peace.❤️
Going to suggest couples counseling
Are they not heartbroken? How could they have moved on?
