    I’m 42 and have been struggling with mental health issues since I was a teenager. But seeing and hearing all of the maga talk and conspiracy’s makes me realize that I’ve had my shit together this whole time.

    As a reminder to anybody of any age that is suffering with mental health issues, remember that you are loved and needed and every day might be a struggle, but just getting up and putting 1 foot in front of the other is more than enough to achieve a goal.

      I thought that I was a fairly low-tier human for a long time. The Trump Regime has forced me to reevaluate. I am a decent person.

      That is disturbing.

        I remember stumbling on creationist debunks back in middle school and coming to the conclusion that I may be a dumbass but at least I ain’t completely delusional and a dumbass. This whole BS with the right wingers being fucking deranged and stupid has done wonders for my deranged mixed inferiority/superiority complex.

      Same here. Those who are open to changing and dealing with it and doing the work can go really really far, too.

      I wish guys like this weren’t stigmatized from admitting they need help, asking for it, and working on themselves.
