scale of -10 to +10, how do you feel right now?

Post Reply New Topic

I can see some of us interpret this scale differently.

My own take is that 0 is neutral - not good not bad either.

If I go into minus I am feeling not so good, if I go into plus number I am feeling more positive.

Today I am a +4.5

4.5 is a territory I rarely venture into....

I hear you Mcphologer. You are not alone.
People don't seem to reply much on this thread.
The haven is a good one or the members section.

Burnout can be a pretty scary experience because you don't know when you will come out of the other side. It's like depression or grief in that respect.
The body, mind, soul etc all need nourishment and if you are only expelling energy and not topping it back up then you are bound to fall into some kind of quandary.

I am going to take a guess here and say that you are probably a person who gives lots of love but don't seem to get much back? If I am wrong I beg your pardon.

There are some lovely places to go and top up your soul on here.
(Your comment about being the pepperspray of human-human interaction made me laugh - clever words)

Yep....that was clever, Ms. McMore....and there's probably much more where that came from.

It just has to be cultivated....like how Temeraire tends her garden.

You're pretty much spot on. I actually used to help people a few years ago who were going through depression online. But it wasn't really the only thing I was doing either. People loaded me up with all the responsibilities in the world and yet it doesn't really pay out. But unfortunately, my entire problem has gotten so far as my family calling me lazy, or downright stupid. Thanks to this mindset I've lapsed into (and it's getting worse) I've started pushing my family, friends, even acquaintances away. It's killer.

(I have a cynical humour about things, and I'm probably the best at it when I've aimed the gun at myself.)

6.
I am poor, and I am transgender, and I am hungarian...
but I have faith.

-10

I hope you can find a way to be more gentle to yourself and aim that gun upwards and shoot for the stars.
You are not lazy and you are certainly not stupid - you are suffering.

So apparently I need to get permission to use the bathroom in my own house, cause my mom might need to use it so I have to ask if she does before I can go pee or anything.
They sgetting mad cause I was pooing cause I get stomach aches and like she has to use the bathroom and I yelled back well so do I obviously. And my sister was pissed because even though she has her own private bathroom she uses ours and so could not get to her makeup she keeps in there. So I’m a horrible person for having uncontrollably starch aches I hate my life. No one likes me I’m just s burden for living

5ish. Kinda neutral. Probably go have another bonfire on the beach and roast dinner again.

Also observing here on the forums how people complain over and over about gastrointestinal issues yet refuse to acknowledge the correlation between them and their ASD symptoms. It's mildly amusing. Ideally people would begin to accept these things are related & then deal with them accordingly and live happier, healthier, lives. But meh, apparently they'd rather not so w/e to each their own.

-7

negative three hundred billion gatrillion.

Why?

when i wrote that, something i read had brought back bad memories of the time my love interest was r*p*d, and i felt responsible because i had helped introduce her to the person who did it. (this was in high school)



i thought about it some more, and it seems silly to feel guilty for it...but still. sh!t.



i'm at 2 now.

Maintaining a level -7.

@Kipro... that's rough. I've been there. Logically it makes no sense. But guilt is still felt. I understand where you're coming from.
