A YouTube comment I found a while ago that I like:
Counselor Worf > counselor Troi
I want a hug from Counselor Worf. I bet he gives great hugs.
But he is not a merry man.
Definitely feeling some aggressive positive tendencies!
They'd definitely be very strong hugs. Klingons don't tend to do things half assed.
I'll bet it feels like getting crushed between two giant angry sea urchins
I feel like I understand his wife a bit better now.
Doesn't he cheer up a little girl with scars at one point?
Not gonna lie, having a therapy Worf would probably do everyone a little good.
Worf straight up respected Garak when they were trying to escape the Dominion prison and Garak had to go into a tiny hole for long periods at a time to send a signal out.
I know this is a meme but as someone with ADD (there was no H when I was diagnosed), PTSD, and had been battling chronic depression since 1989, I can't stress enough how accurate this meme is. Every day you are alive is a triumph. It might not feel like it, but it is.
ADHD/C-PTSD/Dysthymia gang rise up!
I'm with you though. It's accurate. Honestly since the first time I saw the original post I've had this resonate harder with me than anything any psychologist/psychiatrist has told me. I don't think enough credit is given to just how difficult it is to fight these mental health battles. Especially how utterly exhausting it is to do but how unrelenting the fight always is. Not saying people dealing with mental health issues deserve a medal but I think just needs to be more recognized how utterly crippling it can be.
Also I hope your day goes smoothly, your tasks get done, and that today is the easiest day you've had for a while. <3
ADHD combination type and used to battle depression with anhedonia every single day. I wasn't sad, I was uninterested and couldn't feel pleasure. I haven't beaten it but I'm in control these days.
It's an exhausting feedback loop. The less I did because I just couldn't get myself together enough to do anything the worse I felt. The worse I felt, the less I was able to do.
I see you, friend.
...uninterested and couldn't feel pleasure.
Not so long ago I finally came to terms that I would never feel true happiness and joy like I did when I was very young. For maybe twenty to twenty five years I chased after it and all it did was make me miserable and sick. Now I just focus on hanging on and feeling content with it. It's nice.
EDIT: I see ADHD subs focus on how one can hyperfixate on something then drop it. Many saw it as a failure. I see as a triumph because it means that I was interested and driving pleasure from someone well enough to not only get out of bed but also focus and be passionate, if only for a little while. To me, hyperfixation is a week or two of not having to struggle to get out of bed to just pee.
And I see you, friend. Also sending hugs.
It's... rough. I cope by posting a stupid amount of memes. Seems to work so far.
Your coping process brightens the day for the rest of us too. I hope that positivity keeps coming back your way.
I try to give what I rarely get lol
That just means you’re a good person despite whatever the universe has been throwing at you.
Good is a bit of a stretch. All I do is try.
Perhaps, but giving a shit in the first place is a pretty big differentiator.
That I will concede too. Not as common as I'd like.
Thanks to all of you for making this my favorite sub. And I see you AD(H)D gang!
I made it through divorce, financial ruin, almost ending it all, and finally reaching peace and happiness again. Keep keeping at it! The fight is never over.
BTW look at this beautiful rainbow of nesting (if you're using the default web client)
This is me. I see you
"You told me it will get worse." "It will," Wit said, "but then it will get better. Then it will get worse again. Then better. This is life, and I will not lie by saying every day will be sunshine. But there will be sunshine again, and that is a very different thing to say. That is truth. I promise you Kaladin: You will be warm again."

Today is a good day to cry
Honestly, Worf/Michael Dorn is a goddamn treasure.
@Stamets this isn't actually a line from the show right? I wish it were formatted a little differently so I could put it up in my therapy office. Maybe I'll make my own :)
Nah, it's from a tumblr post originally. Just been overlaid on images of Zen Worf.
It is from DS9, not from Picard
Klingons are the wisest race. If you disagree they WILL CUT YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF.
Hello meme. Into the folder for tough days you go.
Star Trek memes and shitposts
Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
