I played a game for a while that I could either have a dessert or drink that evening. Not both - that's cheating! permalink fedilink source parent [–] lifeinlarkhall@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) They kinda all play into each other. I've been dealing with depression and other health conditions since I was a preteen. It took me a longggg time to recognize my mental health is always the priority but also ongoing, there's no "destination". If I'm the right weight, no debt, zero alcohol etc but I still want to die then there's no point. Of course they all intertwine but front of mind for me is keeping some semblance of a purpose and desire to want to be here. For example, I can't work full time because I don't cope. Took me a long time to give myself permission to just not have that as a goal. I survive by working part time, the finances aren't ideal, but I am able to enjoy moments of life more often than when I was working full time (in and out of hospital). Purpose is the biggest thing to find, something that gives your life meaning, everything else comes after that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 1 point 3 months ago Nice.
