I'm thankful for my ex girlfriend who basically saved my life and gave me a place to live.

Anonymous 11/04/14 (Tue) 05:25:54 No.1766

Showers, having a bed, my sister, my best friend, internet, food stamps, anti-anxiety meds

Having parents who are not going to kick me out for being trans.

Internet as it is both a blessing and a curse.

Anime, manga, VNs, music, games and books to occupy my time when I am not wasting it on the internet.

I can't really think of anything else currently.

My family and my upbringing. I am thankful for my pretty functional body and for my working brain.

Also, my friends and extended family. And my cats. Cats have gotten me through some tough times, y'all don't even know.

I'm thankful for vidyagames and vidyagames god, music, tv series and the creator of this board, for giving us a safe space where we can be ourselves without /b/ /pol/ /mu/ /v/ and other shitposting based board interfering with memetic bullshit, without the usual "douchebag act" that the more edgy anons have.

Also i still have a gf and it feels good.

I'm thankful for being able to realize just how good I really have it.

There are people out there in the "real world", who are pushing themselves harder and harder every day. Not by choice, but because they feel they have to. They're so obsessed with the idea of "Success", that they're literally taking years off of their life just to reach that goal. A goal which, ultimately, ends up being fruitless, because all they'll have to show for it is the acceptance of people they secretly hate, a few thousand dollars in debt, and they'll probably ruin it all in one drunken night of stupidity that their so-called "friends" put them up to.

Meanwhile, here I am. Living in the countryside with my parents, my GF living just 100 yards away. I'm spending my days fixing up old junk to sell, watering my garden, riding my bike, training my dog, spending every day with the girl I love, and posting on the chans.

It's a great feel when you realize just how open your possibilities really are. You don't like doing something? Don't do it. Something is making you feel bad? Fix it, or better yet, get rid of it. It's almost baffling to see how other people will throw their morals out the window if it means getting a few extra bucks, or a few more fake compliments from their "friends". It's almost as if (Excuse the le ebin atheist meme) I've reached euphoria. There's really not much that can phase me anymore. I'm not focusing on the bad, because I already know firsthand how the bad really is. Once you accept the bad, the good starts feeling so much better.

To my fellow /mental/ists, I sincerely hope you all get through whatever shit you may be going through right now. I can feel for you all, because I went through a lot of the shit you guys are going through, so I know just how horrible everything can seem. I know it seems easier every day just to off yourself and get it over with, but trust me: if you can make it past all that, and realize how open your future really is, then you're fucking golden.

Not being American.

Seriously. The UK is great for people with mental issues. I can actually get support and help with things, and employers are less inclined to knee-jerk reactions when told about things.
Hell, my current employers WANTED me because I was autistic, since it meant I'd get the job done.
And a previous employer flat-out said they wanted more people like me, because I was able to sit there and count shit for two fucking days, with a low margin of error, without getting bored.

lol that's cool, they want you. I've heard of this happening in America too. Couldbackfire for the employee if their autisticness doesn't give that benefit, though. Individuals and what not.

I'm glad we live in an age where mental illness can be treated with modern science and people are not demonized as witches and murdered for having mental illness
