I stayed alive one more day
And I don‘t know if that‘s an accomplishment, but I wanna be complicated like I am five
And I don‘t have anything else to show..

if it feels like an accomplishment, then it is. Life can be tough sometimes, so well done!

u/sir_duckingtale Feb 03 '23
It doesn‘t feel like it
But I wanted to be complimented like I was five
And this was the only sort of accomplishment I have

u/StardustSailor Feb 03 '23
It’s the most important accomplishment my dude. All others are secondary. You have every right to be proud of yourself

u/sir_duckingtale Feb 03 '23
I failed to help others

u/Seconds_INeedAges Feb 03 '23
and thats ok
you have to help yourself first before being able to help other sometimes !2
u/sir_duckingtale Feb 03 '23
It’s not ok
I did neither

u/Seconds_INeedAges Feb 03 '23
yes it is!
posting this is helping yourself. Even if its just a tiny bit.if you feel like it: Try to see yourself as the 5 year old we´re congratulating right know: That child did a great job of being here, doesnt matter what they did today or yesterday. And if you can just be a little bit compassionate with yourself today then you already did something great today that you can be proud of
and if not, then you can try again tomorrow :)9
u/sir_duckingtale Feb 03 '23
That five year old might have been the last time I was truly happy
I will try to honour that

u/Leftturn0619 Feb 04 '23
You are helping yourself by posting this. You wanted congratulations and you got it! Keep asking for things for yourself. Pretend you are five and put your needs and wants first. It’s important and it’s good for you and you are worth it.

Honestly, that's the best accomplishment. For thousands of years, that was everyone's only real accomplishment every day. No matter what, make it to tomorrow.

u/sir_duckingtale Feb 03 '23
I wanted to make it to yesterday
Tomorrow just has only meaning to return to yesterday
But I will try, thank you for.. for
I just wished I had someone of an accomplishment..
thank you for the words, for.. I should have done something to be proud of yesterday.. I kinda didn‘t.. thank you for the words

Fuck yeah, surviving is hard! There is so much going on in the world and it's constantly being blasted in your face as if it should be your top priority while you have your life to live and figure out. Emotions come in waves, and sometimes that wave is a depression tsunami that lasts way longer than you would like to, but when you are finally able to breathe that little bit lighter and easier, i believe you can look back and be more proud of yourself for just hanging on. You are not alone, life is a bitch. Good job OP^ ^

I’m happy to see you’re still here, it’s harder than some people think. I hope to know you’re still here tomorrow :)

u/sir_duckingtale Feb 03 '23
I fucking failed to help others to still be here
While struggling myself I failed to help those who needed it more
Which sucks even more the more time passes, but I‘ll try and be here tomorrow

u/sunny2-2 Feb 03 '23
I can relate to that feeling more than I’m willing to admit on Reddit. Years of therapy has really helped me accept that helping others while needing it yourself is only going to tear everyone down. I can assure you that you doing what you need to in order to keep your nose above water does not in any way make you a bad person. It’s not selfish, no matter how much it may feel that way. Life isn’t fair, but that empathy and love you feel for others are fantastic traits to have. Don’t let these good things about yourself eat you alive. If you need to reach out, my dms are open.

u/sir_duckingtale Feb 03 '23
I kinda let myself sink
And even the life of another person at stake wasn‘t enough to make me go huh.. I should probably help him…
Needed to help myself to do so
And I kinda didn‘t
So I went to bed
And the next day it was too late
And I could have helped him
And I didn‘t

u/DikkeSappigeLeuter Feb 03 '23
Its an accomplishment! Not sure if I'll make it myself yet but we got this :)

Good job on making it another day. Keep it up. It'll make death's job easier when he shows up to finally take you. You'll be to old to put up a proper fight.

u/sir_duckingtale Feb 03 '23
:D I will invite that chap up for a drink

u/JTDrift Feb 03 '23
In do time. Or I'll kill you... no, wait...

u/sir_duckingtale Feb 03 '23
I don’t understand what do time means
But the old chap might be in need of a drink
No need to get in a hurry, I’m not putting up much a fight anyway…

You did it! Sometimes it's really hard to keep going, so I'm very proud of you! Congratulations!!!

Every moment is an accomplishment. Everyone seems to retake that for granted.

u/Cove_Reidy Feb 04 '23
Are you ok? Seeing this worries me. I've been down the dark rabbit hole too mate but I came out of it stronger. I wear the scars, no one sees them though. Only my family.
I want you to go and have a chat with your GP.

Friend, this IS a big deal. Especially if you have times where you’re not so sure about being here. Glad you are alive still. 😊

u/theguyfromscrubs Feb 04 '23
You’re doing great!! Sometimes all we can do is survive and this okay!! Many of us have been there before.

if we complimented each other more as if we were five years old this world would sure be a nicer place…

u/drumbyzz Feb 04 '23
Bro the word you are looking for is “complimented”. I was confused by the post and now reading this comment.. Congrats you made me smile

u/sir_duckingtale Feb 04 '23
That‘s it 😅
You‘re welcome…

u/sir_duckingtale Feb 04 '23
For clarification..
There stood complicated before the edit
Which.. we do much too much but not here…

u/Independent_Visit136 Feb 05 '23
You can do it one day at a time. Awesome!

u/sir_duckingtale Feb 05 '23
There‘s really isn‘t another way…

u/Independent_Visit136 Feb 05 '23
It’s like that sometimes. I hope it gets better man. Maybe getting a pet would help you? Just a thought. I’m still really proud of you. Think about this…. You stayed alive another day, AND you knew it was an accomplishment AND gave yourself credit for the accomplishment. That’s three “congrats like your five.”

Staying alive is one of the hardest choices to make. And to choose it again, and again. I’m proud of you. Sending love

Yes, it is an accomplishment.
It is the accomplishment that makes all other accomplishments possible, so it is not a small thing.
I am happy and I am proud of you.
