Let me take your pain
You have carried it too long
I'll suffer instead.

 

[Dot]

Thank you and and carac for keeping up this initiative for so long. I wanted to participate, but I was never able to overcome my inner sloth who just wanted instant relief from my pain and suffering.
Lately, I have gained a little bit of strength, because some life circumstances have changed and I have more power to try real recovery.

I am saying this, because I want to share with you something I have been working on. I created a schedule that has little challenges for each day of the week (mo-fri). I am hosting this on a discord server that I created just recently, because I also use a little bit of automation and reminders to make it easier to manage with my health.
I have been testing it for almost a month, alone on my discord, and I am now confident to share this space with other people. It's also got a bunch of daily fun stuff - posting some content that I collected or created over the years (memes, cat pics, polls, writing prompts...). I feel like I can organize myself there and I think I prefer it over Sasu, because I can easily jump between topics and group messages for each challenge.

That being said, I want this to be a supportive space, where you can say what's on your mind, as long as it's not aimed at controlling, converting, or hurting someone else. And if you don't want to talk, that's fine too... you could just look at the challenges that I am posting and decide if you want to participate or not. Nothing is mandatory, I am doing this mostly for myself. But if I am already doing it then why not share the work.
I can't post it on sasu, because I think it would be too much for me to keep in touch with people on 2 platforms. Especially because I am posting challenges daily and it can get really messy to organize...

I am inviting everyone who is interested to join me on my discord, just send me a pm. It's currently completely empty, just me, a few bots and a friend who helped me checking user permissions and channel descriptions (including rules). It's not a doomer server, but also no "feel-good nonsense" (like "your problems are temporary and it's just a mindset problem") content. And no religion or spirituality content (talking about your own beliefs is fine, just don't force your ideology on someone else), and absolutely no nudity, harassment, witch hunting, sexism, racism or sexual orientation discrimination. If you have read my sasu history, you understand that I am very hurt by the fact that so many people are suffering, because of hate, control, and false narratives. That's why I will try my best to weed out anyone who is just there for trouble.

So yea... that's again a long text, hopefully it doesn't look so intimidating...
...
TL;DR please send me a pm if you are interested in joining me for daily challenges or for just chatting with others who also try to get through the day without shitty coping strategies.

This has a genuinely good ring to it, great job!
Also, this is unrelated, but... I love your motto. "Be yourself, until you bleed", it's the kind of unrelenting volition to proudly be who you are that I have massive respect and admiration for.

This numbing drizzle won't stop
Bones are feeling damp

Challenge 76​

Challenge 76​

Does napping count? I've been doing that a lot of that these days.

Challenge 77:
Wear it again.
​

Objective: Wear a Piece of Clothing You Haven't Worn in a Long Time.
If you don't have many clothes, try mixing and matching your current items in new ways.

Ever since I lost interest in basically everything, I started wearing my colorless, plain clothes. But I do have some items that are a bit more special. I will attempt to wear one of it this week.

Challenge 78:
Weekly Playlist
​

(Sorry for the late post)
Description:

I hope you will find this one as fun as I do! For this challenge, you'll have to take some time out at the end of every day during the week, and find a song that best captures how that one day went.
The song can reflect your mood during/after the day, the events that actually happened, or just how felt about the day after it was over. Once you have all 7 songs, you can share them here at the end of week on Sunday.

Goal:

The idea here is to spend some time reflecting on how your days are going; by forcing yourself to recall what happened to you (and how you felt about it) you get the chance to think about what is going on in your life and how you relate to it.

Thanks for reading, be well!
