Proof of the indomitable human spirit.

Rules:

Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.
Staight up doomer/doomer-trolling comments will be removed. Reasonable disscustion and asking for hope is fine.

I almost never talk about my problems or issues that fucked me up in my life. Honestly time has healed well, and suppression of emotion actually worked well for me. I know it’s not supposed to be healthy or whatever but it’s fine for me.

I saw a meme that kinda explained it, as applied to grief. There's a diagram of a circle representing grief, and the misconception is that the grief circle shrinks. But it never does. The grief remains the same size. What actually happens is that other circles representing good stuff grow around it, and help you deal with it.

The trick is getting good stuff to actually happen...

Yeah. Psychology is not a hard science though and it’s different strokes for different folks.
