[Jodes]

Winning a medal, meeting a surprising stranger, sports injuries, egging teachers or politicians, burning a pedo's house down ... tis the little things that make life worth looking back on.

Everyone has stories and I bet you guys have some of the best of them. Come on, do share :)

Edited - Changed "Crazy" to "Memorable" :)

sports injuries

This is one of the primary reasons I want to die...

It's a part of the reason for me. I'm sorry, you must have had a bad one. What happened?

One of my reasons too I don´t get why getting a sport injury would make life worth it. I can never workout again and even just 15 minutes light running on a threadmill makes my back hurt like hell, even sometimes just if I was shifting gears in a car it would hurt.

Once I was dry skiing, tripped, flew a good 50+ feet I'm guessing, like superman, horizontally, hands out, going some 40mph. It would have made a crazy slow mo video!

I landed and my hand felt weirdly numb. So to check the damage, took the glove off and found I'd broke my thumb in a way you don't want to know. Spent 6 hours in A&E, waiting a cast and a 200 mile journey back with 10 really pissed off friends.

Not something I'd do again, and it still gives me pain 20 years later but it was worth it, I can say I can now die a bit happier. It's two reasons in one for wanting to go.

If you hadn't guessed, my team lost the race and I came last. I wasn't invited back, and only one ever met me for a drink again! But women will do anything for a man with a cast if you ask nicely

I've got other injuries which add up to me just giving up even walking within the house unless I have to.

I'm sorry it's affected so much of your life. I can't imagine what it must be like to have all the focus of your problems on one event

I hope many will post in this thread with awesome stories and I hope it will even turn into a megathread because this topic sounds very interesting, I just feel I can´t participate because of the word "crazy", I am not sure what to tell since the things I did that made life worth living wasn´t exactly crazy.

being deeply n love was worth it....

made me remember... ten years ago I had a girlfriend... she wanted to marry... I knew I had issues and that I might ctb one day... I didn't want to hurt her...

that's why I didn't marry her...

another relationship was also the best things out of life....

I hurt my ankle in high school basketball about 6 years ago. At first it seemed fine but I re-injured it later and it never fully recovered. I developed Achilles tendonitis and I haven't been able to heal it.

@dandan how did you get over it??

 

[Fucking loving it]

•My euphoric mania
•How incredible I felt while i was prescribed a shit load of opioids for almost 10 years (crooked pain clinic)
•My children (my daughter passed away at age 10 from terminal illness. Talk about CTB thoughts getting a million times worse)
•all the fun times I had years ago doing lots of psychedelics
•having a supportive family

So sorry, I never knew that. How long ago did she pass?

2014. She was 10 years old. She passed away 18 days before her 11th birthday.

Several years ago, I met someone I had held high regards to and it put me on a path towards recovery (for a while at least). Also a few other things would be video games, music, and good food (occasionally). However, most of it (or rather all) are fleeting and life can easily turn to shit in an blink of an eye.

How did you cope while she was still with us?

I was a hell of a drummer in a metalcore band and extremely passionate about it. Played a lot of shows and everything. At the same time I had a girlfriend and amazing friends and was so truly happy at that point in my life. Then almost became a Navy SEAL two years later, and was this freak of nature athlete in the best shape of my life. I had a pretty good life before it all went to shit.

 

[Dead beat dad]

It's stupid really, but seeing a Nirvana tribute band fronted by an Elvis Impersonator, it's a little highlight in an otherwise sea of darkness

 

[Fucking loving it]

I gave her the best life I could. I made sure she was happy and loved. I spent all my time with my kids. I avoided thinking about my daughters dx outcome. I lived in the moment. Time with her was limited and it went so FAST.
The mentally healthiest I ever was in my life was taking care of my daughter.
Thank you for asking.

What made life worth it for me was love. The feeling of loving someone more than you hate yourself...wanting nothing more than to share lifes joys with the most important person. Falling in love with the 1000 different faces that theyre capable of wearing. The person that takes your very breath away when they walk through the door. That will be the final thing i think of. My one nirvana that will carry me into oblivion. Their laugh, their smile, their tears. The one thought that brings me the most happiness and the most pain.

Banging a stripper in Athens Greece in the lap dance room....no shame

making it to a head chef potion by 26 all the amazing trips i had with my ex teaching myself to play guitar bass and drums in 2 years and cooking for countless celebitys

 

[dandan]

@dandan how did you get over it??

I havent , im a 36yo guy who isnt in a relationship... and now I feel poor, its even worse cause I feel I've got nothing to offer a woman...

those women in my life went and have a good life today, both are happily married, and my 1 true love of 4 years is not only married, but married to a beautiful human being that even makes videos and sings to her on the web... im happy she found a guy who worships her... i didnt get over it...

I only have one to be honest. It was last summer when I somehow managed to have a friend for like a few weeks (before ruining it again obviously) and we went out to party. I am 21 and that was my first ever party (and to this day my last), but I also got drunk for the first time and experienced the feeling of completely not caring for the first time. It was glorious because I could finally be myself.

Part of me just wants to grab the bottle again, but I don't want to end up like my alcoholic mother.

Reading these two posts back-to-back was pure comedy

Smoking weed for the first time. No one there expected me to, but the amusement, the euphoria, the overall enhancement of living? We all watched MADTV, scarfed down a pizza and I fell asleep after watching one of my school chaps try and do the robot to music we played. The next day while walking around town, I'd remarked on a buddy's earlier comment by saying "you're right, if all the world leaders and politicians got high together, we'd have world peace."

 

[Dwellinglifeless]

Totally unintentional on my part....whoops

Honestly nothing as sad as that sounds. Every enjoyable experience is only a distraction and a disruption from the drudgery of everyday life. Those little moments don't last long enough to savor it atleast for me. And what's fucked up about every supposed good memory I ever had felt like sand going through your hand. You won't know when those good times will come and when there here those moments don't last very long. The sad reality is there is no "positive", there is only the elimination of the negatives to seek relief- we are hungry, we need food - we are lonely, we crave companionship - we have needs/desires, we seek fulfilment and abuse substances etc.
