I made a lot of progress with my depression these past weeks and am finally motivated to read and write again.
I've started writing an a long time ago, to cope with what I've been through, but also to release it one day.

I'd love to let other people contribute chapters to my book. Essays on various topics that come up in my story.

So now I'm asking you all, if there is anyone who could think of writing such an essay for me, because you are affected by the topic yourself, or are an expert in the field.
Or if you know someone, who would be perfect for that topic.

Here are a few of the topics:




( @ueckueck, you said you might write that one, still interested?)



There are other topics as well, but I already have people in mind who I'll directly ask to write essays about them; especially topics around .

The essays should be at least 2-5 pages long and provide a general gist about the topic, but ideally also contain something personal, like what the topic means to you.
Written in or .

Preliminary deadline is summer '24, but a lot can change until then and if you need longer, don't worry.

Please :boost: . Thanks. ❤️

Who has some good tips on how to make and keep friends (as a shy person)?

I just ordered "Platonic", a book about friendship, but I thought I'd ask around in the Fediverse as well.
There must be people here with some good tips or uplifting stories on friendships.
Please share!

What are your biggest fears?

Does the make the list? Does the Russian war?
Or do you have a phobia, anxiety or panic?

For me number 1 is loosing all my loved ones, even though I already lost so many, that apart from family there are not many left.

Other than that it's probably my and the climate.

What I take:

Pills against
Pills against
Pills for more drive
Pills for more stability
Pills against bad thoughts
Pills for falling asleep
Pills for staying asleep
Pills for mental emergencies

What I'd still need:

Pills against falling in
Pills against on other ppl
Pills against
Pills against
Pills for sleeping if the sleeping pills don't work
Pills against hangover from sleeping pills
Pills for bad days
Pills for emergencies that are not benzos

What could replace all the pills:

One good that spends time with me

This Christmas I only wish for because I feel all my personal wishes are too unrealistic.

@awesomeknight That's exactly what I was saying all along. Didn't know that it's actually a clinical definition.
Though I might be conflating with , which is probably too severe.

I've actually managed to make a phone-call today and now I feel like eating everything in the house that has even an ounce of sugar in it.

I wish I had more friends.

Today and yesterday I have written to some of my favorite people, most didn't reply. At least not yet.
I wish I had the kind of friend(s) who I could just call at any time if I'm not feeling well.

I also wish I had more friends in the Fediverse.
There are so many nice people and it would be so easy to make friends with some of them, where it not for my social anxiety.
When others post something and get replies, conversations start. When I post something and get a reply, usually I like the post and that's it. Why is it so hard for me to keep a conversation going even online?
