Hi my people :')

[cryingpotato]

Hello!

I'm a relatively new listener to the podcast, but have found such support and comfort from the raw honesty regarding life's struggles. It's really nice to know that I am not the only one struggling day to day to keep afloat. I am so grateful for this podcast, Paul and his incredible sarcasm, all the surveys, and Herbert's butthole (heh). A little about me:

-I am in the depths of my quarter life crisis
-I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder
-I on Zoloft thank God
-I would totally be a "grew up in a stable and safe environment" type and then explain how I was emotionally abused and neglected for the entirety of my childhood
-I am an enneagram 4 (so I spend approximately 99% of my life crying over my feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness or gushing about the colors in the sky)
-I like cacti

I want everyone who reads this to know that life sucks and life is moments of suffering and joy strung together like beads in a fucked up fashion and I know you want to die and I do too sometimes but you are not alone. I hope that you realize that it's alright to just sit in sadness and not try to always "be happy" because when THE FUCK was anyone just happy? I believe you have so much beauty rooted deep inside of you and no amount of worthless you feel will ever uproot the fact that you are a gift to the world. to anyone that needs to hear this, I love and care about you. I'm SO excited to be apart of this new world I've found.
