Cool people who decide to keep going despite their daily pain inspire me

You can be cool despite living a shit life and experiencing daily misery. It is not much of a use for these people themselves. But others can be inspired to follow them. There are some people in this forum.
Not sure how long I can cling to this notion. My mood swings are extreme and very rapid. My sleep is horrendous. I wanted to try a new medication but no pharmacy has it. I should work against anxiety. Buspirone is its name. I will have to wait 2 months for getting it most likely.

Not a cool person, but a person still living despite a lot of (mental AND physical) pain. I relate to the mood swings. My BPD recently fully came out of remission and it almost let me to CTB recently. I haven't slept more than 5 hours at night in probably multiple weeks, and 5 hours is a HIGHBALL. But I'm still going. It hurts, yeah. But I'm doin it somehow.

On the note of the meds, my mom used to take that prescription. She doesn't remember if it worked for her, but it definitely wasn't super offensive side effect wise in her case otherwise she'd remember it.

I don't think I'm cool anymore, but now that I have chronic physical pain that's disabling me, I realized that life and health is the most precious thing I have. I'm trying to get better, it's hard. But I'm trying.

If you're physically healthy, then just track your patterns and what helps and what does not help dealing with them in a healthy way.

^^Definitely track them, yeah. I actually started using an app that helped me a BUNCH, it's an emotion tracking app, but it doesn't feel cringey like the other ones. It's very neurodivergent friendly too. It's called How We Feel, completely free and actually a Non-Profit!

You've clung to this notion up until now, and you can therefore continue to do so. You are one of those people. In a sense, everyone is. I believe there's an innate part of human nature that is driving us towards life, towards the cultivation of life, towards the preservation of life; it's merely external decay that blinds us from this truth.

Your value is real; it's radiant, even if you can't see nor feel it, and it's to be tempered no matter what your circumstances amount to.

Your continued efforts in the struggle are cool in my book.

Good health upon you.

They really are inspiring, truly, many of them are modest enough not to talk about their pains or anything, they just get get over it, having a voice that motivates them further into action, even if they had a hard life or bad parents they know it well themselves.. Many cool people like these wont even say anything about hard they have it, and there is some sadness but also beauty to it.. like Pope John Paul 2nd said a few times, even if we miss the example in our parents, in our environment, we should strive to be our best, best versions of ourselves – not giving in to the example that others represent around us, but try to become the ideal that we adored and want to pursue!

It's difficult, that's for sure, but we can too become cool people like it someday hopefully, myself struggling with overthinking at times, or other things that are just beyond me, I would want to get better in managing all of it and setting my life on the right track, being able to decide things instead of having them decided by other people in the family :/ atleast I do exercise nowadays, and recent few weeks felt better, but Im sure more hardships will come and I have to be ready to face them, to be a good boyfriend and a good person in general, who can be relied on..

Yep. Though I'm not sure I was EVER cool. Lol

I learned a long time ago that you can always find someone who has it better than you. And you can always find someone who has it worse than you. Just the way life is. I try to start each day grateful for the opportunity to be here. Some days turn out better than others, obviously, but it does help to at least TRY to be grateful for the day.
