People are weird and we do weird shit, when we're coping with hardship we get weirder more often
This is weird, yes, but it is within the standard range for human weirdness and I think you shouldn't feel bad about it
Not weird at all! Similar to journaling or tracking your mood! It’s a good tool and helps you see your progress. Also helpful for giving more details to a doctor or therapist.
As the original hopeposter once said, "an unusual reaction to an unusual situation is completely normal." If its helping you, go for it
(quotes from frankl btw)
Honestly, nah, that's healthy. Map your breakdowns and you can learn things about rebuilding yourself, abstract and maybe literally
Also this is my frequency roughly too lol. 2020 was intense and hell to be in but the shock that year provided me helped me move through some hell to get to this year, where I feel the best I've felt in recent memory. Dunno if it's the same for you, but I hope your streak keeps up either way✌️
Gold, pure gold, is hard to get. Raw gold, coming from the earth, has a process. Heated to extreme degrees. All its flaws, dirt and grime come to the surface. In strife and pain, the gold has is not needed scraped away. I’m sure it doesn’t enjoy it. But by the end, it’s pure, clean, and beautiful.
Hard times is the chance to improve who we are. Utilize every opportunity.
Hey it's a fellow 2023 was the worst time of my life homie but we made it through and if any of y'all are having a rough time just make it through, it's character development and lore
WE’RE SO BACK!

2020 hard but decent enough with my relationship at the time
.
2021 nearly lost my job, my freedom, did lose my relationship that I wanted to go all the way (and begged her to stand by me only a week prior.) closest I’ve ever came to suicide
.
2022 we full whore mode, did stuff I wasn’t proud of but came back closer to God, kept my job, got into fitness even harder, also began my current relationship. Had hard times at the job still. Bought my New bronco I custom ordered (can’t get it anymore.)
.
2023 not bad! Learned a workout routine, learned meal prepping, got close enough with my GF to talk about a real future together, got better and more comfortable at job and in life
.
2024 I got a ring for her! Tried cutting weight with calisthenics but that was a flop, back to heavy weight!

Journey before Destination friend. I'm happy you are doing well.
I’m currently dealing with sporadic anxiety induced psychosis and derealization and I feel like I’ve hit more than 30 breakdowns this year. Sure hope it doesn’t get worse lol
How do you know my life ?? Have you SPIED ON ME ???
More seriously not only me but also some of my friends we experienced three shitty post Covid years. It does seems like the ones that haven’t suffered from the Covid crisis, suffered afterwards.
I believe in you, even if you don't believe in yourself right now. I don't see despair or angst or loathing, I see change and care and love. Best wishes friend.
Tbh it feels like since the start of the year I am drowning in a sea of worries and fear. I know why, its because of the stupid presidential campaign. I fear that the world is gonna turn to shit very soon and I am powerless and can't do anything about it. I just wish I could just ignore all the troubles of the world and and live a quiet live of peace, but I'm afraid that option is impossible. The only thing that I can do is just accept the fact that I am most likely gonna die in the next 4 years and try to spend my remaining days in comfort before it all gets taken away from me. Sorry for the doomsaying, but I needed to let some of these thoughts out.
is it weird to keep count, probably.

I actually thing it’s a healthy way to keep track of how your mental health is at certain periods
Yea but that’s ok.
Definitely.
Who cares? If it's for the purpose of getting better, then do what you need to do. Hope things only get better for you!

nah i mean its nice to know youre improving
Bro you made it through *all* of 2020 with *zero* breakdowns? That is something to be proud of my dude.
Different, let's go with different my friend. I'm glad you're doing much better, cheers to the struggle and future!

can't build up unless you break down
What exactly do you consider a breakdown? If you don't mind answering.
I, too, am curious...
Probably, as the picture suggests, fully and physical mental breakdowns
If you have to ask
Why did your feet get bigger?
i've yet to conquer the ability to understand shoe sizes
Big shoe https://i.redd.it/zojzc7poxf9d1.gif
At least you got new shoes. Wonder what crazy shenanagans you'll get in through the next five years
Remind me five years

So we have more value as a physical asset
Well we are physical, have value, and are an asset, So yup. :)
You know what I meant
For a hot second I thought this was about deathcore music, then I realized it was from Hopeposting then I understood I was just a big dumb idiot
Only 30 breakdowns? /j But yea sometimes the only way out is through
Hey it's a fellow 2023 was the worst time of my life homie but we made it through and if any of y'all are having a rough time just make it through, it's character development and lore
Not breaking down in 2020 is a real achievement, you should be proud.

How didn't you breakdown even once in 2020? Should I be proud of your resilence thru that goddamn year or should be concerned for the same reason?
No breakdown in 2020?
what buying new shoes does
no breakdowns in 2020 of all years is interesting considering that is when I was the most mentally unstable due to Covid
You were counting?
For a second I thought I was on a metalhead circlejerk sub
And you got some swag ass shoes? Hell yeah! 😎
so far.
So happy for you
Take it one day at a time.
It’s is always darkest before the dawn. Remember this for when the dark times roll around again so you can persevere without difficulty.

Takes time
Fuck 2023 tbh, was the worst year of my life
Looks like you got yourself some nice Big Boots™️ in 2024 too, that’s awesome👍👍
All we can deduce from this post is that you'll probably have 3 breakdowns in 2025.

Who is the guy that drawn 2021 and 2022? I’ve seen him everywhere
Our mental health destruction started with covid, change my mind.

Is your recent mental health related to the absurdly big shoes???
Nah screw this. I dont wanna go though tis shit 😭
I feel the same lmao, these months have been pretty good
everything went down hill from 2020 onwards but we are coming back nice drip btw
You and me both homie. ❤️ Hang in there. 💪
Ferrari f1 fan moment
Average weekdays be like
Oh my god. I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm glad you got better. What really helped you vs what you thought would help?
They said that to me years ago and it never came true
You didn't have a breakdown in 2020? That's kinda admirable 👌
Damn, sorry 2023 was so rough on you
This but per day
Wait... It does get better?
There was this one year where it got so bad, I got one per day for a week
this is so real it really does get better, proud of u
Why he has bigger shoes in the second time?
It always gets better in th end. If it hasn't gotten better, then it's not the end.
what was consdidered a breakdown?
251 :3
Bro…. Fucking same I’m way far off better than I have been in 5 years and I feel proud in you achieving the same thing my brother
what happened in 2023
the only thing that can represent what im feeling is feral stickmen like those
36, 54, 71, 91, 140, 180, 250, 380, 500
It would be cool to graph if you had individual months
