How are you doing in life right now.(ie mental/emotional/physical wellbeing)

I am in an odd spot personally, considering this has been one of the best and hardest years of my life. I really got a hold of my mental health issues and eliminated the last of my insecurities and transformed myself into a positive person. It took the last 6 years to realize that im no longer the person I was in highschool and realized that I have accomplished a lot and truly have limitless potential. I also finished college last month, so I have felt on top of the world.

The thing is I still am not sure what I want to do in life, and feel lost. But I feel a certain solace that I will find a place for me, and have been enjoying cultivating different interests into my life that I want to pursue further. It's like I know I have the material to accomplish what I want but I just have not begun fully utilizing it.

Lastly I screwed up and got myself into some legal trouble, and that has been bearing down hard on my mind. It was nothing severe(although it could have been), but the thought that I could potentate have a record and other setbacks resulting from this are in the back of my mind. I have been handling it well and remaining positive, I don't know if this comes from my prior boost in self esteem/sense of control or just denial. But every now and then I dwell on how my life could be better if I would not have made one bad decision and got myself in this situation. I have a lawyer working on it for me so I am extremely hopeful(another reason im not flipping my shit) but having this monkey on my back with so much other stuff going on is hard.

Enough about me, how are you all doing?

i'm bedridden with compression fractures in my back so yeah.....things could be better

Just fine. I have anxiety issues, but I can work through them.

Shit, if you dont mind me asking; how long have you been going through this?

this is only my 3rd day. and i mean, it's going to heal. I just hope there's no long term pain.

Just peachy...on low carb eating (1 meal with carb) ..loss 3kgs...back to working out (completed Witcher 3: Horny Hunt)...need to sleep more/better sleeping pattern. :P

Pretty tired of late unfortunately. Work is constantly changing my roster so a little over the shop with that. But overall I'm actually pretty good. Saved up a lot of money and "treated" myself to a new, over the top PC. Relation with family and partner is going really well and I'm eating healthier. Outside of work things are great

Everything has been according to plan with my goals.

I few setbacks, like being hospitalized for a week, and combating depression. Still didn't hold me back, so I'm glad.

But seriously, I'm doing well. I don't really have anything to complain about.

Extremely bad.

Up and down, I hate when people complain about their problems so I try to avoid getting in a "woe is me" mood whenever possible.

I am doing pretty good. Living in Seattle (moved from SC) and have a good job. I have several disabilities (physical and mental). I haven't had time to find doctors up here yet so it is getting a little out of hand. The most pressing issue is finding a psychiatrist for my Bipolar I and PTSD.

Fine but want to move out of my parents house. Been here 3 years where we live and hate it. I don't hate my parents just the place where I live at the moment as its too noisy living in a town next to a park and school.

Tomorrow going to hospital to ENT as had a ear infection a couple of week back which made me a bit death but ok. At first docs thought it was a hole in my ear what got infected but there not too sure. They can see something but not sure if it just wax or something else. I think its a spot on my ear drum on how quick it came up.

After that though going into town and picking up a £30 steam voucher and impulse buying my summer sale wish list.

Sounds like a tough time, but remember it could be worst. As for i, super stressed, working with a crew that is a new IT department under IT. Lots of new apps in beta mode, lots of issues, and daily tasks which drive people insane. Lucky i have a hard head, but even i need time off to cool down from the nightmares. Although my kids are happy, wife happy, and i have a home to live in. Time off is hard to take, but its a life. Thats where i be.

Physically... fine. Mentally... lol. I've been depressed most of this year and I'd like to think the worst of it is over. That, or I just might be in a perpetual state of emotional numbness. I have almost nothing going for me right now but it doesn't seem to bother me as much. Not sure if that means my meds are working or what. At the least, video games are able to provide some form of escape and distraction right now, so that's nice. I know if I'm in a really bad place if I can't even enjoy that.

Could be worse, could be better.

I've had a pinched/damaged long thoracic nerve since August last year, which has pretty much excluded me from 80% of my favorite things in life. Weight lifting, backpacking, Badminton.... hell even sex is difficult unless I just lay there and make the wife do everything. (actually that sounds pretty great now that I mention it).

Shit I even had to re-learn to use a gamepad, as keyboard/mouse was no longer an option.

It's tough when your release valve (exercise) is pretty much cut off completely for nearly a year.

Combine that with the birth of another child, and the death of our closest family friend, and it's been one hella-stressful year. Loads of fighting/conflict with the significant other.

Thankfully, I am finally able to sleep 8 hours without pain, and can handle light stuff like taking out the trash, pushing a lawn mower, etc.

I think the most depressing thing has been the realization that I'm simply nowhere near as young as I used to be, and can't push my body like I used to. Mid life crisis I guess?

Hell this is a big part of the reason I'm even here. Prior to 3 months ago, I hadn't posted here since uh.... 2008? Turns out venting a bit of frustration at people on internet forums can be somewhat therapeutic.

It's tough isn't it?

There are people in this world who have it waaaaay worse than any of us ever will, yet it's human nature to look to people who have "more" and be jealous/depressed.

Been to hospital this morning and saw doc. Got a lump of wax out of my ear which was quite deep in. But also been having a buzzing noise for last 2 years and got worse this last 6 month. Doc said that the wax wouldn't cause it. I had a hearing test in both ears and turns out my right ear I have difficulty in hearing high end level noises or something. He then said to go for a MRI scan in a couple of weeks but going for a CT scan instead as I something metal near my stomach area so not a good idea to go into MRI machine. He did say that I'm 99% sure nothing wrong but as seen as I've had a kidney transplant you better have one.

Hahaha this is the internet, its one of the few places where we can let it out. Anonymity is a beautiful thing. Also it is not you complaining, it is uninspiredcup, and we all come to these forums to see usernames put words on a screen.

Mental - Still recovering from schizophrenia, depression and anxiety, but stable on medications

Emotional - Still fairly lonely, but doing better than I was last year

Physical - Lost 50lbs over the last 5 months and am working on quitting smoking

Overall - Better than I have been in years, but still with work to do

The only reason I'm alive is because of two cats.

I can't complain

every day i wake up,i wonder why i haven't killed myself yet

Videogames....

Hence my two cats...

I have one and he makes me want to check myself into a mental hospital

Pretty bad overall. I have depression and social anxiety.

The neighborhood kitty cats make me happy.

Thanks for asking, TC :)

Physically, I can be better. I could exercise a lot more and it's advice I give to people daily. I have arthritis, and it would help with that among losing weight and so on.
Mentally, I'm alright. It's tough being away from my wife. It's 4/9 months now. Last year of long distance though. If I'm feeling blue I head to Political Gamers.

@SOedipus: what is your height vs weight??

Personally I'm doing okay. But here in the inland of California the weather can be hot. Just trying to make it through the summer.

Today was a tad shit. I mean I've been stuck in a rut for a while but hopefully it won't last forever.

God, I wish I could get laid by attractive girls at least. The girl I was with for like a month last December was kind of a shitty person, but God that is probably the best I've gotten to have.

Oh I'm all right.

I feel stuck, need to lose a lot of weight, but it comes off so slow and goes on so easy.

My life is not that bad, my appearance (being fat) just really drags me down, I was raised to be very aware of it, not so much ashamed of it, just very aware that others will be ashamed/embarrassed/amused/disgusted by it.

Otherwise, I'd be damn great. I suppose that is the real kicker, I've only got one real serious problem.

180cm and 85kg. BMI of 26.2.

Physically at the moment im in the best shape of my life lost about 30lbs exercise daily and eat healthy mostly.

Mentally I suffer with depression and anxiety sometimes it gets so bad i don't really want to leave the house if i can help it, last year my anxiety was that bad i convinced myself that i had stomach cancer ended up having an endoscopy obviously they never found anything but that's how bad my anxiety can get. I've managed to get my anxiety under control at the moment through a helthy diet and exercise (i dont like taking medication).

The only problem i have at the moment is i feel like a bit of a loser because im 32 still living at home no girlfriend and a shit job. to scared to change jobs because that would mean changing my routine which set my anxiety off, getting a girlfriend is tough just because of my anxiety always think the worst things will happen.

@ShepardCommandr: Oh dear, why you got offended with your life ?
