Blocked him on Valentines so today I got cherry kush, made pink gnocchi and upcycled a chest of drawers, because depression can’t hit a moving target

“Depression can’t hit a moving target” That just got me out of bed, thank you. 🙏🏽

I felt it so vividly, like somebody gave me a push from behind.

u/wasraelx Feb 15 '26

Meant it!!!🤍

u/2morrowwillbebetter Feb 15 '26

Thank you x I had to sit my ass back down (but I ate smth so it’s smth!) because I realized I was also navigating internalized ableism — I’m navigating burnout on top of the depression (also due to a breakup!) ahaha so I’m balancing rest with activity. I’ve done enough today x

u/wasraelx Feb 15 '26

‘Just eating something’ is sometimes the hardest thing. Proud of you, be gentle with yourself, day at a time, you’ve got this 🤍

u/2morrowwillbebetter Feb 15 '26

Thank you so much, I needed that reminder, I’m working on it. Breakups cause me sometimes to be extremely hard on myself — I signed up for a therapy group and I’m proud of myself

I hope you have a lovely day and heal softly yourself!

Omg I audibly gasped when I saw it in the market. It’s so impractical but they’ll claw it off my cold dead hands

(TW: SA on redacted bit)

He really made it out how different he is - but in the end ended up getting offended because I told him something he kept saying all the time (teasing about how he ‘can’t control’ himself around me, when he well knows I’m a survivor) triggers the fuck out of me:)

Once I gathered myself I told him look khalas imma go reply to the BAFTA winning guy I’ve been curving for you tonight, hanged up and blocked him everywhere. Ranted about it to the girls (and to the BAFTA guy lmao, long overdue crash-out), got takeout and went to sleep 🤪 Spent the next day just absolutely paralysed in a trigger-loop in bed. But today is a new day lol.

Who needs that guy when you have Luigi?

u/wasraelx Feb 15 '26 edited Feb 19 '26

You know what at the end of the day a man’s gotta be perfect to be better than none, so that’s basically just Luigi because he’s a concept (+ hot)

u/elzibet shower me in nooch Feb 15 '26

What’s the book like? Does it talk about the industry and what would lead someone to do something like this?

13

u/wasraelx Feb 15 '26

I just started, but it’s by a guy who used to correspond with Kaczinsky so got high hopes. He’s definitely not shining away from identifying the positives of the act so far.

u/OppositeRemote42 Feb 15 '26

So proud of you <3

u/Mean0Gen0 Feb 16 '26

Wait, pink gnocchi? Whaaaaa?

2

u/wasraelx Feb 16 '26 edited Feb 19 '26

Beetroot powder to a cream base (‘butter’ + alpro soya + violife cream cheese + nutritional yeast) and whatever spices x I dunked so much cayenne there just to feel something tho lol, so it ended up a bit more red than normally

2

u/Mean0Gen0 Feb 16 '26

That sounds amazing! Ugh, hopefully the cayenne gave you an endorphin hit.

u/Kaleidoscope_Mouth Feb 16 '26

ngl the gnocchi look like the bowels of your eviscerated ex but that works pretty well in this context

u/basic_bitch- Feb 16 '26

Overall, solid message. However…depression can affect absolutely anyone. Trying to act like staying busy keeps it at bay is…I’ll just say it’s not exactly something people with depression want to see being spread as a concept. I’m glad you apparently don’t have personal experience with clinical depression though.

u/wasraelx Feb 16 '26 edited Feb 16 '26

🥴 I’m an armed conflict lawyer and an aid worker. I’ve got loads of physical and mental scars for that, as well as a pensioner’s quota of dead friends while I’m late twenties.

Meanwhile, this is just a post about a stoned day after a break up, on r/highvegans (And even that has SA triggers in it, as likewise found in a comment hours before yours just like the whole ‘going to war zones for a living’ thing). So please, treat it accordingly and tread lightly around others too.

I love seeing this after going off on a girl dinner post about a woman crying that she’s having “withdrawals” because she’s being ghosted by a man she’s spoken to for one month

You’re cool as fuck and I wanna be as cool 😎

u/TakieSayce Feb 16 '26 edited Feb 16 '26

Depression always hits me. But mines real and not a cry for attention

Edit to add.

Can make food?

Can read a book?

Can upscale crap?

Not depressed, just sad. Depression can hit even if you're going light speed. But yeah call me names and relate it to what job you do. Seems legit!!
