I'm the girl who writes aimlessly when I'm anxious or depressed. Any suggestions on how to feel like a capable person again?
MV Edit: Whew, thank you all so much for your kind words to a stranger. I'm so grateful to know there are just good people out there. More writing and pen info at https://imgur.com/gallery/oO4XW

We stayed in Maumee for a night. They have a drive-thru convenience store that you literally drive through. Pretty cool.

I was laid off. I finally got a job today. It may feel helpless/hopeless but keep getting up and doing these lists...good luck!
misspoopsalot
You sound awesome! Wanna be friends?
GothRainbowPotato
I need to do this. Thank you for the idea!

Looks like you've got some great achievements. I'm a little jealous of the HP ones.
Yupurineutah
Didn't start off blaming anyone for getting fired, or even saying why. So what happened?
makethemoonproud
My medical leave was filed improperly and a day was left unapproved

I want to get a wand from Ollivander. What kind of wand you get?

Easy, polish the list and add it to your resume'. At 61 I know recruiter skills when I see them.
skellington01
that's a great trick! You'll have more stuff to add to that list soon, I'm sure! Also remember what Jackie Chan told you...
Thojira
Did achievement number 10 got you fired or not?Not sure if its possible as a girl. Nice list, so what are you going to suprise us with next?

If you're so great at Chess and bumping into B-grade celebrities how did you ever get fired?

You've met Neil Gaiman, you must be doing something right

Holy damn, you've met Neil Gaiman? He's hands down my favourite author of all time! You're talented AND lucky and that company lost out!
Tractorfist
Keep focusing on your positives and your future employer will notice the confidence you've instilled in yourself.
Tractorfist
Also also, I wish I had your 10th accomplishment.
Tractorfist
Also, you have very nice handwriting. :)
tatopotato
Who/what is Ollivander? BTW good job succeeding at things.
makethemoonproud
At Universal Studios Harry Potter there's a setup like the wandmaker's shop, and he chooses someone to be immersed in the scene firsthand
tatopotato
Oh nice! Do you get to keep the wand?
makethemoonproud
They allow you to buy it, lol. The first time I bought Hermione's instead, the second time I bought the wand which chose me
tatopotato
*Gasp* Give Hermione her wand back.

LifeEaterVirus
Since you already know how to make lists, after breakfast, spend 15 min and put down the tasks you want to get done that day. Hugely helpful
LifeEaterVirus
Do that every day going forward and you will find yourself getting way more stuff done because you took a quarter of an hour to organize it.
ienjoyonionrings
Can I put cry alone in the dark on my list?
LifeEaterVirus
Sure, as long as you put it down whenever you want to use up a box of tissues.

One step in front of the other every day. Never dwell in the past, focus on the present for the future.

The future eh?

Self control is empathy for your future self
Walatalalaw
I think changing your perspectives works. There's beauty in sadness, for one. You don't HAVE TO be happy. You don't owe anything to anyone >
Walatalalaw
> I was depressed for 2 years and what helped me most was embracing the sadness and accepting it as a normal part of life, and enjoying it
Walatalalaw
> also, there's no real goal other than being content. You don't -need- to be anybody, you don't need to be a happy person or a hero or rich

It looks like it's printed.

Agreed, quite amazing.

That should be a font.

Meh. It's not joined up tho.
makethemoonproud
No worries, I write in cursive as well.
poorwhitetrash
I was like “what font is that?”
turqfreeq
Such penmanship, so relaxing -10/10 would choose as font daily!

At this point, they might as well just get a printer.

No need! :D

Yea.... sucks when people ask to see my notes from class. Only I'm capable of understanding what the fuck I wrote, barely.

Yeah definitely add that to the list.
aberry9036
I could write the top line on every line of the page, each would look different, each would be equally illegible. Now I touch-type.
aberry9036
And to your question: don't fret, your current situation is transient, you're evidently talented, you'll find something else soon :)

Satan suck a dick I’d give my left tit for handwriting like that.

He's not kidding. I came to the comments section just to make sure that was said.

As did I!
BeLikeRazz
What type of pen are you using? It looks so smooth
makethemoonproud
My friend gifted me a set of felt-tip mega-fine Japanese pens, meant for writing a much more delicate language than our own!
Ruhig
How long did you spend writing that?? Did you have to try it multiple times?
makethemoonproud
No, that's just how it comes out. Takes longer to think of what to write
Ruhig
Madness! Apparently I just suck at writing, though fortunately I'm usually the only one who has to see it.

Nope, Sean at Comic Con (he did duck lips in our selfie) and Patton at Disney (he did not do duck lips in our selfie)

You need to add "attained absolutely beautiful handwriting." I'm so jealous.

Well, I could only write 1 or 2 things, so you did lots compared to me. <3
Samshumanmaid
I'm, by almost all definitions, successful. Being let go was the best learning experience I've ever had. It was hard, but so powerful.

Advice on not feeling like a POS: know this too shall pass, and one employer's view of you is NOT the universal truth.

How do you teach yourself to play piano, I need halp
SuperPandaDenali
Learn chords, that's really all you need.
Nowa1
Music is a language. You need to learn to hear it and speak it. If you can really buckle down and learn to read it you will grow more faster
pita26
100 times this. People push off learning how to read music when really it just makes everything else easier.
andthedicestoppedrolling
Practice, and put emotion into it. Find songs that speak to you. I would rather listen to an imperfect but emotional piece than mechanical
andthedicestoppedrolling
perfection. You can find plenty of free sheet music on YouTube and other websites. When you lose motivation, find something that will always
andthedicestoppedrolling
inspire you to get back in. My inspirations are the anime Your Lie in April, and the Wolven Storm song from The Witcher
andthedicestoppedrolling
Also, beginner music books are actually well laid out and shape your progression in a steady and organic way.
makethemoonproud
Mimicking - I was great at figuring out the notes of the tunes I heard
Thespoonfeed
lordsmish
But how do you play it with your ear though. Mines too close to my head so i hit all the keys around it.
TheUltimatePunMaster
I play by ear too! I am not too good at sight reading sheet music tho
yogoo0
You have a skill I can only wish I had. Tried the same with a violin teacher with simple songs. One of the hardest things I've ever doned
CanOnlySayYes
Violin is stupidly difficult compared to piano, trust me.
yogoo0
Absolute bullshit. Violin is easier to learn than piano. My teacher was very impressed with how fast I managed to learn it
GeneralBullshit
I'm not :/
altearithe
I'm good at mimicking too, but what really helped me was learning music theory and the actual scales. I recommend youtube, books, & teacher
pita26
Mimicking isn't a great way to learn music anyway. It teaches you to play one thing, where as learning to read and learning scales/other 1/2
pita26
basics of music gives you the tools to play anything. It's worth investing in some lessons if you seriously want to learn how to play.
makethemoonproud
Yeah, it's truly not that useful, but it's neat at parties

How do i afford or egen get room for a piano? :(
andthedicestoppedrolling
They won't be good but go to music stores on Black Friday and you can get a decent electric one for a couple hundred. Still expensive tho
GeneralBullshit
Try electric piano. Sort of the same thing, just not as expensive or as big. Not quite the same, but still works!
MCDankOC
There are people giving away pianos for free on CraigsList all the time.
