Honest question for those who have seen the whole series… I’ve watched bits and pieces but haven’t sat through it all yet. Do you feel like it’s made you more or less encouraged about the state of affairs in our world? My mental state is pretty bad right now, I feel pretty hopeless about our world and I don’t want to make it worse
I won't watch it, I suffer from depression. It's important to care for yourself and that means moderating what you're doing - almost like a parent would to a child.
That's taking control of the situation. It's not our fault we have an emotional dysregulation but it is our responsibility.
A lot of people talk about how they've lost a lot being on these boards. It's important they understand that if they choose to engage in activities that causes them misery, God doesn't want that for you. We are supposed to live joyful lives!
God doesn't ask us to fight evil - he explicitly told us Jesus overcame evil on the cross and we are to spread the gospel. We are to spread the joy and the good news.
This kind of flies in the face of a lot of what people are doing, and that's the part I wonder if evil isn't doing more of replicating itself here, by dragging people down.
If it can make you stronger, then I guess go for it. But it's not required by us to be so involved we lose ourselves, our joy, our families, friends and lives.
as a sufferer myself with years of experience under my belt I can say to you this... WORK OUT... HARD!! FIND A HOBBY... for me its golf and guitar.. even if u cant afford golf u can find a local course with a good driving range and chipping/putting area. you will be outside, connected to the grass and dirt and focused on progressing through something that is very difficult to get decent to good at. put in some headphones, listen to music and enjoy some physical activity outside then go workout!! another tip is dont dwell on mistakes and insecurity but thats a tough one i know.. works it self out if you work out tho. if you hate it.. go jog. go disc golf. go hike. just fucking GO. look up at the sky and say "thank you for all of this"... good luck and God bless!
