I’ve been dealing with depression a lot since I quit drinking. I’ve found that exercise does help, but for me it has to be exercise that I actually enjoy. I’ve been going for walks. I like exploring different parts of my neighborhood and now that I’ve been doing it a while I can cover 4 or 5 miles in a day! Being in better shape gives me more energy and I actually feel like getting up and doing something instead of just vegging out in front of the TV for hours

I’ve also found that just cleaning my space has been really helpful. I let my house turn into a disgusting mess when my depression was at it’s worst, and the act of tidying it all up helped improve my mood a lot. Having actual space to work and everything where its supposed to be has made me much more productive artistically too. Seeing a mess every day was just making me more depressed.

Finding a new hobby that you have to learn about and get better at can really help with getting the creative process going too.

I hope this is helpful. I know the same things don’t always work for everyone, but I’m in a much better place than I was 2 years ago now

Sounds like a good deal to me!

I just put a big rubber band around my ID, my debit card, my laundry card and a little cash!

Not true! I stopped carrying a wallet almost 2 years ago!

There are filter apps you can put on your phone to help identify them since they’re usually calling voip. I know the FCC is trying to ban spoofing and you can report spoofing on their website

When the scammers spoof numbers they usually just get a block of random numbers that are local to where they are calling, then they just try them one at a time. They pick numbers that look local because people are more likely to answer.

They never actually bother verifying whose number they’re using though, so it frequently results in them calling from the persons own number who they are trying to scam, local businesses, and even local government numbers.

I work for the phone company and I’ve frequently gotten calls from people telling me someone just called them from their own number lol

If I don’t know who it is then I’m not answering shit. I don’t even bother looking up the numbers anymore because they all come from spoofed caller IDs now, and if you answer you’ll get 1000 more scam calls immediately because now they know you’re dumb enough to pick up

I’m working on some new pieces now so hopefully I’ll have something else to post soon!

Yes as long as you have a Gmail account and a payment method you can put on file you can use Google Play without a sim card just over wifi. All a sim card does is connect you to a cellular network, it shouldn’t really affect your ability to set up any Google services

I just recently took up cross stitching. You can learn all the basics for free on YouTube and there are tons of cross stitching communities online and there are tons of free patterns online too. All the supplies you need at first are some thread, some Aida cloth and needles. When I started I got a stitching hoop too I think my total investment was about $20.

At my last office job it was ceiling cat who watched everyone poop

Why does the daughter have a tapeworm?

I have to put everything on Imgur and share the image URL. It’s been weeks since I could post an image normally.

Facebook goes out of its way to ruin everything, big surprise there… I got rid of Facebook years ago and I’m amazed that anyone still uses it. They’ve gone out of their way to spread hate, steal data, publish misinformation etc why are so many people still supporting it?

The answer is that people today would gladly give their souls away for free if it saves them the minor inconvenience of having to put in the minimal effort required to find something better

Please don’t allow AI posts. If we start having AI posts this place will basically turn into a fan art page.

That one is the fun kitty lol

Meta will ruin anything and everything it touches and then announce all the great new “features” they’ve introduced. Anything they take part in is just an effort to control people to maximize profits.

I’m still figuring out this new app too, so I was sure it was something I did wrong lol

For some reason either the site or this app will not let me upload pictures, so I’m using Imgur links for now.

I told Bebus about how well your day went. She says “meow”

I just updated the Imgur account try it again now
