  • Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

I just want to share something that I have started doing that has helped me a lot recently, hopefully it (or the ideas behind it) will help some of y'all

basically, i go lay down in the shower with the lights off, and i just let myself think about whatever. I do this when I'm feeling any extreme emotion, usually anger or sadness, or thinking about unpleasant memories. I think often times, we try to push it away these unpleasant feelings/memories, which makes them simmer and get worse over time. the idea is that laying down in the shower gives me a space to think of anything, feel anything, and it's in a controlled space. It's also useful if you are having a hard time getting yourself to do something you need to do. You'll really have to find something that works for you, like going for a walk, sitting in a rocking chair, etc.. What i've noticed is that since i've started doing this, these thoughts have been less intrusive when I am doing other stuff.

anyways, i hope this helps, and if anyone has stuff to add or anything you agree/disagree with i'd love to hear what you have to say

My way of coping is by venting on here or Reddit. But that got me banned from Reddit. Sigh. Anal fuckers

Venting helps, but often times for me, writing it out causes me to lose much of what i'm thinking. i'm glad it works for you though

Reddit is heavily being censored. It's almost like having suicidal ideation is illegal over there

Does anyone here workout? Even basic body weight calisthenics is really helpful for clearing your mind. Just a few pushups, even just 1, can release endorphions making you feel better, slowing down and stopping the negative inner monologue plaguing so many of you. Situps/crunches, and pullups on cheap doorway pullup bar is good too.

Even just going for a walk, really. The "go for a walk" meme is silly and dismissive, but there is something to it. It's not gonna cure your depression or anxiety, or any other illness you might be dealing with, but it can help you clear your thoughts and feel at least a bit better physically. It won't solve your problems, whatever those might be, but it can help you see things in a different light.
