A YouTube comment I found a while ago that I like:

Counselor Worf > counselor Troi

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 43 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I want a hug from Counselor Worf. I bet he gives great hugs.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But he is not a merry man.

[–] Czarb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Definitely feeling some aggressive positive tendencies!

[–] Hyggyldy@sffa.community 21 points 1 year ago

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

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I feel like I understand his wife a bit better now.

[–] Hyggyldy@sffa.community 19 points 1 year ago

Doesn't he cheer up a little girl with scars at one point?

[–] tooclose104@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Not gonna lie, having a therapy Worf would probably do everyone a little good.

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.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your coping process brightens the day for the rest of us too. I hope that positivity keeps coming back your way.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I try to give what I rarely get lol

[–] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That just means you’re a good person despite whatever the universe has been throwing at you.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good is a bit of a stretch. All I do is try.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perhaps, but giving a shit in the first place is a pretty big differentiator.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That I will concede too. Not as common as I'd like.

[–] MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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)

...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.

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."

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can confirm. Source: ADHD and clinical depression. Klingon therapist is best therapist.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

ADHD and severe MDD checking in, keep fighting, Agent F.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 42 points 1 year ago

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.

Honestly, Worf/Michael Dorn is a goddamn treasure.

Today is a good day to cry

[–] SARGEx117@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

May you find Glory in all your future battles

O_O

[–] starkraving666@jorts.horse 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@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 :)

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 14 points 1 year ago

Nah, it's from a tumblr post originally. Just been overlaid on images of Zen Worf.

[–] thepreciousboar@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

It is from DS9, not from Picard

[–] Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Who's cutting onions in here

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Klingons are the wisest race. If you disagree they WILL CUT YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF.

[–] Falafels@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Hello meme. Into the folder for tough days you go.
