I'm feeling miserable. This was a bad year. Both personally and generally. And it basically ends by announcing that things will only get worse. - ThreadSky

Always darkest before the dawn

Things will get better :) Sure things can seem tough at times and the news can be... the news 💀 but many great things have happened this year too. One thing that gives me comfort is: the EU elected a parliament that can (and will!) stay the course 🇪🇺🇺🇦 this despite so many incumbents losing this year

There have been sweet and good things as well. Personally I managed to progress in my carreer, married, had a wonderful holiday and will face the issues of the upcoming year as it arrives.
Cherish what good you encounter along the way. ❤️

I hope you will enjoy 2025 more than 2024.

I know now is not a good time Kraut, but I would really appreciate it if you could signal boost this post for Romanians who live abroad to vote against the Nazi-supporting, pro-Putin(and Trump) candidate - Gerogescu, at the Romanian presidential election

Get well soon!

There is still time left for even worse announcements so we all should learn to cherish the comparatively low amount of current misery.

I know exactly how you're feeling. BIG hug.

indifella.bsky.social•94 days ago

Maybe next year is better

juanita.bsky.social•94 days ago

This might help?

I had to stop watching the news.

antonbdc.bsky.social•94 days ago

Do you mean for yourself, or for Ukraine? Presuming the latter.

thrashxcv.bsky.social•94 days ago

I am in the same boat. But I am deploying new strategies to make my life better. Just remember you have so many options to try and make things a bit better.

Do not obey in advance

yanadear.bsky.social•93 days ago

total shitfest of a year and very little hope, but it's there...

microlion.bsky.social•94 days ago

Hey Kraut, I am 250 kilometres south of you. Maybe we can meet halfway sometime and have a Mitteleuropa chat. I think we'd both feel better.

twixious.bsky.social•94 days ago

It will only get worse! 🤗❤️

joseiosef.bsky.social•93 days ago

I feel ya. Year has been shit too, specially since June-July. Personally. Here is to hoping, at least in the one aspect we can control, 2025 will be a better one.

comchia.bsky.social•94 days ago

:/
*hugs*

matrix07012.bsky.social•94 days ago

That's why you are here

oreegungal.bsky.social•94 days ago

Hang in there Kraut! We need to hold hands and trudge through the puddle of crap. The next four years require leaning on your neighbors.:)

perturbation.bsky.social•94 days ago

You're doing your part to improve the world. That's all you can do.

helgen-se.bsky.social•94 days ago

Let's all hope 2025 is better. Fuck this world

intphilosopher.bsky.social•94 days ago

Yeah, bad all around. How long before people come back to their senses and stop voting conservative?

orokurothedemon.bsky.social•94 days ago

Hang in there, man.
I know how you feel.

wacket.bsky.social•94 days ago

Me too...

deadasfak.bsky.social•94 days ago

Hey if that helps, I also feel like shit personally. I reached non of my personal goals set out for this year and I might also get laid off soon.

Maybe you could beg a room at the seed vault?

(Though I hear the Muskovites are stirring things up even in Svalbard *sigh*)

pandaramble.bsky.social•93 days ago

It will get worse, but there's no way but forward.
Remember to take care of yourself.

It's a time of the narcissists of the world to get their way.

niconikun.bsky.social•94 days ago

Hang in there pal, you'll get through this

scottywho.bsky.social•94 days ago

Here,have this. It helps, immensely https://youtu.be/JddEXEJ8_S0?si=xZcopI5mp4w5yTl0

romanthefreeman.bsky.social•94 days ago

My best advice: step away from all your screens for at least a week. Try to get out to the nature regularly.

Doomscrolling and burning out is not going to help anyone, guys. Been there, done that 🥲

Tools to help you with blocking social media newsfeeds (or completely):

Chrome extension:

You can also use uBlock Origin extension for that purpose to some degree.
