Hey 2ku, I just wanted to say that even tho I'm getting somewhat more active, I can't bring myself to do the same shit I once did before. Anyways, lemme share what I've been up to so far;

I've found someone that cares about me and loves me back
My mental health is like 50/50
And I'm free from the depths of hell

That's about all the interesting things I've had, I'll do daily updates so be on the lookout tomorrow, cya then. #2KUBETTER

I would like to say 1st of all, I've been enjoying my time here in the U. There have been some mishaps and ridiculous bullshit moments, but I'm here for it.
I've never been active as of late due to school and shit, but I then decided to take a 2-month break for my mental health and personal reasons. In my life, I've felt like I could never do it, play basketball, help my friends, even have the will to live. Because all this time no matter what I do, I've always felt like a failure. Then, something happened, something that I thought would never happen, you guys showed up and supported me throughout this dark time in my life. You guys, my friends, were there when I needed you the most, and I applaud you for that. That's it for me, always remember, keep your heads up, and go, PLUS ULTRA!

I tested positive for Covid and now my mental state’s not looking so good, also I’m gonna be inactive bc of personal shit as well

This AK47 better lol (made this before the tweet yesterday)

Before we begin, I've decided that due to my own battle with depression, I'm taking a substantial break from all social media platforms starting Friday. Now with that out of the way, let's talk about: Depression

Throughout the past week or 2, there has been some controversy surrounding myself IRL in school. While I try to ignore it it's just been too much for me and it's taking over my own mind. I wish everything didn't have to be so damn annoying. There's been other shit but I'd rather not get into it.
Anyways, how has everyone been this past week?

once again @RodSquad you took my soul

@Petravork Cookout is the shit, cookies n' cream milkshake fucking slaps

I'm Back, i'm BigJosher15, i couldn't access that other account, so i made a new one, sorry for the bullshit i caused, but now i'm ready to put that aside, and get started on a new chapter

I just wanna say, I've had my fair share of controversy here at the U, but this place is better than any other virtual place I've been in my life. When I joined and posted my 1st card, the @jdealla approved of my card and I lost my damn mind. This place is filled with the realest motherfuckers I've ever met. Thx again for letting me be a part of this, and I can't wait for the next birthday.

@rsande64 said in Mental Health: Personal Experiences:

I really feel for kids these days. It was hard enough growing up in an era before social media took off, and now it seems like you guys don't really have a way to "retreat" so to speak.

I've gone through and continue to fight my own battles in the arena of mental health (been diagnosed as clinically depressed since my teenage years, with an anxiety condition on top)

There's not really an easy answer and anyone who says otherwise is bullshitting. Medication, counseling, exercise, friends/family, etc. In my opinion it's about finding your own combination of those outlets and more that work for you, personally.

It was a real struggle for me for a long time until I figured out what I needed specifically in my life, and probably more importantly who I needed.

Don't be afraid to distance yourself from people who don't have your best interest and happiness in mind, and be open and honest with those who you know do.

It's also important to not become too reliant on any one person or thing as a pillar for your mental health.

I used to have real issues with dependency and co-dependency and I'll say that although it may make you feel better in the short term, it's definitely not a real solution.

I know what I'm saying is super generic, but I'm kind of hoping you and anybody who might need it can use this as sort of a springboard towards what they need as an individual.

I've had a rough 6 months or so (let's be real, we've all had a rough 2 years or so at this point) but, I can tell you that all the changes I've made to how I process my emotions have made it infinitely easier than if all this went down 20 years ago.

I think for someone at your age, the most important thing to keep in mind is "this too shall pass".

You're at such an early stage of your journey and have really just begun to become your own person. When you get down, think of all the freedoms and experiences you have ahead of you and let that be your motivation to keep your head up.

Your statement couldn’t have been more inspirational, thx man
