I was poor when I was a kid and we didn’t have the things poor people have today. Not to make light of poverty today because having no access to food or only access to ■■■■ food is ■■■■■■■ horrible, no bones about it. We didn’t have air conditioning when I was a kid. We were lucky to have a single phone, not everyone in the family having a phone in their pocket. I think there has been some progress, but not always the progress we need.

Overall I think things are trending in the right direction even with the current election hoo hah in the U.S. and it doesn’t matter which side of the fence you’re on politically.

I am reasonably optimistic in general. Basically my thoughts are that if it is out of my control then it is of little use to fret over such things.

I was recently re-certified to continue to receive disability benefits. That is either a curse or a blessing. Either way I am going to use it to continue to recover and work on bettering myself.

I am not an optimist. I am realistic, but do admit I lean towards pessimism sometimes as I try not to get my hopes up too high.

This works to alleviate my stresses, and when the good things happen, it feels like a reward and makes me happy.

I hold on to some optimism that i can break the curse one day.

I am optimistic that I will get better but even if I didn’t, I have my family supporting me so no stress.

Sometimes more than others.

Where I am at it is all downhill from here.

Now that the election is over, I’m optimistic. The election was really stressing me out.

Not very. But I’m working towards everything as much as I think I can. So something will materialise? Even if it is just some level of self contentment?

I am not optimistic but not pessimistic either. I believe i won’t starve to death or die of thirst. Its up to me to make tomorrow a good one. My todays choices are the consequences of my tomorrow.

But in reality my psychiatrists decide what makes me happy and give me experimental medications of their choice. Why is it my fault they are not happy campers ?
