It was something, but I forgot.
My sister's cancer treatment is going well.
I'm walking without crutches at long last.
Listening to stuff like this reminds me that I don't have it that bad
Well done!
Freedom from crutches is such a good feeling. I still remember giving my last walking stick to charity ... my wife said there was no harm in keeping it, but I wanted it gone for my own peace of mind.
I hope your sister continues to do well, too o7
I'm eternally grateful for all the medical expertise that meant I could get about on crutches, but omg it feels great to walk unaided.
Nah fuck that shit, blank my brain out so I experience less of this shithole universe /s
real
uh oh
Shouldn't it be ofher way around in this world?
Person has to have dementia to be optimistic.
More true. Spot on.
Ouch. But true.
I have the steadiest job ever in my life, that pays enough to live off of. That's pretty fucking awesome.

I feel attacked
I'm optimistic about seeing the fall of the dread empire in my lifetime.
I have never been optimistic about anything in life ever. Not going to start. I shall embrace the dementia future.
I earn more than enough to get everything I need, Β£29k.
Itβs increasingly likely that my method of death will be instant vaporization, which is relatively painless.
I am very optimistic. But according to that data, I would need to be in the top 5% most optimistic people to counter the risk increase from the medication I take.
Need some clothes to go with it, but I am optimistic I might be able to get a somewhat high ranking at a costume contest at the college I am attending that is coming up. Entering the fantasy category since I already have a snow leapord fursuit head that has 3 eyes. Seems pretty fantasy for me. Just need some clothes to fit both the theme and with my head/paws/tail.
I'm being reasonable and not saying I'd win since there will undoubtedly be better costumes, but I'm still hoping and aiming for a high ranking.
Is it correlation or causation? I ask because I've seen other evidence which seems to indicate that depression is an early indicator or mental deterioration.
