The Leaderboard

[luka]

you might just be looking for an opportunity to boot me in the bollocks though?

 

[craner]

Or maybe steal all your ideas

 

[luka]

youre welcome to steal them. everyone is good on that thread actually but i would say my bits are the best

 

[woops]

i want to know if there's a leaderboard option for seeing who's got the most ignores

 

[luka]

thats a brilliant idea

Do people actually mute people?

It seems like it's such a small community space, you wouldn't understand a good chunk of the threads, you'd end up being very rude because your posts would completely ignore their posts, etc

Breaks my heart to see @Corpsey fallen so far down the rankings. Good that craner is back in third though. Dunno how though, all he does he sneer at us!

 

[Corpsey]

I'm in a real bad place atm and this confirms it.

 

[luka]

what can we do to save you Jack?

 

[Corpsey]

I'm thinking of getting back on the citalopram tbh. I think my brain might be seratonin deficient. Although ofc there's other ways to boost seratonin (like exercise).

Since I got off it I've been crying a lot, often aboutquite innocuous things - songs I love but also corny sentimental moments in e.g. Marvel movies.

I welcomed this as being a sign I was reconnecting with emotions. But now I'm starting to wonder.

But it's also been an existential crisis lately, not just "woe is me" shit like hating my job, which I can deal with.

Lately it's been a melancholic awareness of time passing/running out. Mortality of loved ones (and me). Meaninglessness of doing anything (simultaneously not having enough time to do everything). And I'm only 36. So it's a bit much.

Hopefully it will pass soon enough. It could just be an extreme form of January blues. 🤣 (Or a midlife crisis.)

Anyway, don't want to turn this thread into the corpseys mental breakdown thread.

 

[Corpsey]

I'm sure I'll be back fighting fit when I start getting all those reactions pouring in.

 

[luka]

The meaningless of life means it doesn't matter that time is running out. Cos nothing matters. That's what I think anyway. There's no point doing anything so you don't need to feel bad about not doing anything.

 

[version]

I think those are all fairly normal feelings tbh.

 

[luka]

I've done loads of weird crying at sentimental things over the last two years too. Don't worry about it. I agree with version. Nothing matters so there's nothing to worry about.

 

[luka]

The other thing I would say is write some maudlin teenage poetry.

 

[shiels]

I was just about to say. Men crying and being sentimental always happened its just that people are more willing to talk about it since me and drake made it cool

 

[luka]

Didn't we have a thread about weeping?

 

[version]

I didn't cry, but I was really moved by Schrader's Mishima film the other night and thought about it all the next day. It's a tragic story, but the whole thing was just gorgeous too. Incredible score as well.

"All my life I have been acutely aware of a contradiction in the very nature of my existence. For forty-five years I struggled to resolve this dilemma by writing plays and novels. The more I wrote, the more I realized mere words were not enough. So I found another form of expression."
