Check In Thread: How Are You Doing, Comrade?
(hexbear.net)
For the older posters here, you know the drill. No struggle sessions, keep it nice.
For the newer folks, hi! I'm Corgi! I made these threads from time to time to see if everyone is doing OK. Got something cool you wanna talk about? Need an ear for venting? This is your space! Just be nice, this isn't the thread for arguments.
I made a down payment for next year's wedding recently, and I've been having a BLAST with the Retroid 3+. I've been going to the bar with the pup the last few days and just sitting with a pint and playing MVC2, Twisted Metal Black, Smash, and Mario. Met another Hexbear IRL recently, that was nice!
Hope everyone is doing well! Remember, you are loved 
Lawdy, already a fair share of negative times here, so I feel bad adding.
I'm really filled with despair this week. Despite a sizeable salary, other family conditions mean I have some very big financial problems, interest rates, housing costs, and food prices are spiking, and I think my problems are only going to get worse, and ruin my relationships with my family and my partner. I don't want to keep working a shitty job I hate just for life to remain shitty / get shittier for me and for everyone I love.
I don't see a way out right now, I can't see any glimmer of hope, so continuing to live just feels quite pointless and filled with pain. I'm doing my best to chill out, hang on, and hope the despair goes away. Time will tell I guess.
Thanks for the check in though
And serious love to all my comrades, many of whom also seem to be having a rough time of it at the moment.
don't feel bad about sharing. misery famously loves company.
love to you and yours comrade. i hope you make it through.
