Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

During Covid, I started playing the guitar, and really got into it, and over 5 years later, I've gotten pretty good.
The biggest revelation was how much better I felt. I realized that I had been operating under a low grade depression for my entire life, I just never knew it, because it was my baseline feeling, for my entire life.
Now that I figured that out, I'm back to being depressed, because other than the guitar, all the other terrible shit is still in my life. Plus MAGA.
But at least I KNOW I'm depressed, so I got that going for me.
I'm very happy for you, or rather I hope you get better.
As for me, I've known I was depressed since I was about 13. The shitty part is I thought it was mental illness at first. But decades later, with a wife I love, I have finally achieved feeling worse than ever.
