Yo, I’m David and I’m sad. Sometimes I do stuff.

[david @dismaldavid]

I’m just a dude trying to figure out how to survive my life with Bipolar 1, ADHD, and sprinkled with a little bit of OCD.

[david @dismaldavid]

Been laying low while dealing with these lows feeling lonely.

Hopefully, I’ll be climbing back out soon. It's dark down here.

[david @dismaldavid]

Somedays I just want to get in my car and drive far away where no one knows me, and leave everything, and everyone behind.

Judgment is the fastest way to shut down a conversation.

Another person can’t tell you that your feelings aren’t real or valid. They belong to you not them.

[ben. 🧠 @bpdbellend]

I’m literally in my own head fighting for my life

[david @dismaldavid]

@Wookietron9000 Possibly.

[david @dismaldavid]

@Wookietron9000 That makes a lot of sense, but with a family, that is hard for me to do.

I typically do a lot of reading during these downswings (provided I don't swing too far down).

[david @dismaldavid]

I’ve been on a slow downward spiral heading towards an inevitable crash. My lows aren’t what they once were (due to lots and lots of work), but they still suck fat donkey dick.

[david @dismaldavid]

So I just sit here, staring off into the nothing not existing.

[david @dismaldavid]

Some days, life doesn't feel real.

[david @dismaldavid]

I’ve required constant distraction lately. I’ve been mindlessly streaming and reading a lot.

[david @dismaldavid]

Not feeling too good and my everything hurts. This cold is murder on my knees #oldmanproblems

[david @dismaldavid]

@3ybressap I haven’t tried the official BuJo yet, but I might check it out next

[david @dismaldavid]

I don't have a lot of hope left these days, but I keep trying.

[Aim True (Amy Pagett) @AimTrue7]

Waiting to be ready can actually be fear holding you back.

There's no right time to begin something new. We often put things off hoping for the perfect moment.

There will never be a perfect time.

Create the time & give yourself permission to make mistakes along the way.

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

People learn from their failures. Seldom do they learn anything from success.

[david @dismaldavid]

@3ybressap Awesome! Hope it helps. Just remember, it's a tool to help, and it can be whatever you want it to be.

[david @dismaldavid]

Apocalyptic winds last night (up to 80mph) made sleep virtually impossible.

[david @dismaldavid]

@Wookietron9000 I had a similar experience, but I never thought of them described as anchors (which perfectly sums up their existence).

It takes continuous work, but I am finally conscious of the poison they infest my well-being with and strive to let them go—and now I have a name for them.

[david @dismaldavid]

Forgive yourself.

Every day if need be.

Except yourself for who you are and work on the parts you don’t like.

Continually beating yourself up perpetuates a life of self-hate and allows no room for progress.
