Health, Mental health and Depression: Life's a beach

Life's a beach

By Anonymous - 22/04/2022 12:00

Today, I finally beat depression by going for a walk on the beach. I couldn't contain myself and happily played in waist-deep water as I walked. I realized my keys for my car, mail, house, and work had fallen out of my pockets and into the ocean, never to be seen again. FML

Today, I walked out of the store, car keys in hand, only to discover my car was missing. After a frantic search, I started to hyperventilate and a nearly had a full-blown panic attack. Then I remembered I walked to the store. I am an idiot. FML

Today, I finally found the words to describe how I felt after 2 years of depression. I asked on Yahoo Answers what I should do next. The most 'helpful' answer told me to go on a picnic. FML

Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML

You can't win

Today, after losing my job and being quarantined alone, I realized I've gained quite a bit of weight due to depression. I decided to do something about it and walk around my neighborhood. A group of teens followed me laughing and hurling insults until I cried. FML

Today, I told myself: "Go on you big geek, go outside, get some sun, get your ass away from in front of your PC, go for a walk". I finally muster the courage to leave my house. Without my keys. I've been in an internet cafe for four hours. FML

Stuck

By Forgetfull - 02/02/2010 17:07 - United States

Today, I thought it would be romantic to take my girlfriend to the beach. It was raining so we left our shoes and phones in the car so we wouldn't be bothered. Apparently, I left my keys in the car too. The car was locked. FML

A brief ray of sunshine

By Wait, I'm not happy - 17/09/2022 07:00

Today, I had an extremely great day, to the point that I actually forgot for a moment that I suffer from depression. When I remembered, I became inexplicably sad, as usual. FML

Today, I thought it would be a smart idea to walk out on the pier while the waves were 6 feet tall. I was having fun getting "splashed" by the waves crashing over until one wave knocked me over and dragged me 20 feet across the hard concrete pier. FML

Those things all led to your depression and now you are free of them. The ocean just gave you the cosmic message that you are destined to be an unemployed, homeless beach bum.

All those things are replaceable, but you found your happy place! That’s much more important, keep finding more happy places!

There are metal detectors that can find them.

I have lived by the beach for my entire life (not a flex just a preamble to what I’m going to say) Keys are heavy and would have generally sank quickly so if you had just walked back through the path you took while shuffling your feet (as you should anyway… bc stingrays on the chance this was in southern California) you could have easily found them. I’ve dropped keys more than once and it’s always worked for me. That being said, I’m glad you found some joy. That can be tough to do sometimes and finding a bit of happy is worth it’s weight in gold.

the OP is ******** A BRICK now I bet with anger not realizing they could have done that and now they will probably never be able to go to the exact spot they stood in to get their keys back no problem.....I'm sorry OP but this is making me laugh so hard at this thought

Keys can be replaced. Happiness and joy in the moment, not so much. Forge ahead, stay strong, and realize if this is the worst you face, you are very blessed indeed.
