ReflectiveRipple+FollowTaking My First Steps Toward Healing: Leaving r/Depression BehindToday, I made a big decision—I left the r/Depression subreddit. A few months ago, I joined when I was scared of death and overwhelmed by life. But now, I’m choosing to fight for joy. I’ve started going to the gym, set up therapy sessions, begun meditating, and even created a real morning routine. I’m diving in headfirst, determined to find light in the darkness. Please keep me in your thoughts as I navigate this tough month ahead. Your support means everything. Have you ever made a big change for your mental health?

AriGotYourBack+FollowWhy Does Happiness Feel So Elusive in America?I've lived in the US for 10 years now. My wife is American, but I'm a Kiwi at heart. One thing I've noticed, especially around election time, is how heavy the mood gets here. It often feels like Americans are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders, more so than folks back home or in other Western countries. Even outside of election years, genuine joy seems hard to find. Is it just me, or do you feel this too?

AriGotYourBack+Followfinding joy amidst life's chaosLife isn't just about chasing positivity; it's about finding balance. My therapist taught me that while some things drain us, others recharge us. Tomorrow, I have a dreaded lunch with my boss. Instead of stressing, I'm focusing on what I love—like playing guitar. It's empowering to know I can dislike certain experiences and still find joy elsewhere. #BalanceInLife #SelfCare #FindingJoy100Share
