Know today is hard for a lot of people. I'm 9 or 10 days off opiates cold turkey, and while I managed to get 6ish hours of sleep after 48 hours awake, im still fucking sobbing on and off.

If today sucks, im sending you all my love Care-Comrade

9 or 10 days is amazing I'm so proud of your self control.

I'm mixed.

I'm going through a lot of feelings of low self-esteem, but also, I texted this woman and told her that she makes me smile. A lot.

And she does. And that is sometimes enough of an acknowledgment to overshadow any sense of darkness.

Sending the love right back at you~

It is particularly hard right now. I appreciate the love! I've also been where you are regarding opiates and do not envy you having to do that again. Hopefully you're almost through it.

Self Improvement

333 readers
49 users here now

A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.

While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.

This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.

Rules and guidelines:

  1. Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.

  1. Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.

  1. Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.

  1. Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.

  1. Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.
