Holding on by a thread I’m struggling. The last couple months, I have thought of ending my life. It’s more than the last couple months. I’ve struggled with it since I was 14, so half of my life. I just can’t handle it anymore. I lost my job that I loved so much due to my mental illnesses. My parents are at the end...

My right leg. I broke my leg the other day. Well. More than that. I fell while bouldering at a gym (not my first time - hand slipped off the rock at about 3m off the ground), I fell awkwardly, with my shoe getting caught on the mat as I fell. I broke my tibia and fibula right below the knee, and my femur crushed my kne...

What happiness is. I’d just like to remind everyone here that you don’t need constant euphoria to be happy. Happiness is when, despite the inevitable negative aspects of your life, you always feel at peace and, even if you’re unhappy right now, you’re at least satisfied knowing the future may be more positive. Before ...
