πŸš‰ This is your station. I'll link the train below just click the cars to enter the giveaways. I have like 25 people on my whitelist, lost my job over a year ago and money is tight but after finally winning Convoy today I cleaned out for Steamgifts. If you'd like to be on my whitelist just say so, maybe give me encouragement to get through my depression from losing my brother on Christmas 2016. Or tips for getting back into blogging when there's a mental block, or whatever really. :)

All from Humble Bundle. Many are free, sorry! I was hoping to clear out my keys and give them to anyone that missed their chance. :) I don't believe there are any region restrictions but please allow me to delete if region or humble bundle deleting old keys issues occur. Hope you enjoyed the ride! :)

I would like to apply for your WL. If you want a tip for mental block in bloggin, just don't worry about writing. Just relax, and write, like if it were a diary, something you want to tell to yourself. Like, let the words flow. It's a hobby, not an obligation.

Much appreciated. Working towards that and sometimes I manage it. Gotta work through anxiety and self-pressure before I'll be able to bust out writing like I did when I ran my old, now dead blog. R.I.P

And...Approved.

You should try writing for yourself first. Maybe try something like https://750words.com/ or something where your words are private and you write only to write, and you can lift off the pressure of having to get quality in there. Once writing feels natural again and it flows you can go back to blogging. I know it's hard, and I'm sorry to hear about your troubles, but words are powerful.

They won't bring him back, but maybe they can bring him peace in your mind.

I opened the link and love the idea. I hope to try it. I need to get on a schedule and consistent but mood swings and everything keep me fatigued while mania fuels my need to do something useful and it's a trainwreck on productivity and positivity. Adding you to my WL thank you.

Couldn't agree more with this. This is also the best way to deal with mental blocks, emotional problems, etc. The mind is just like a muscle, and hobbies are its exercise. Work on your hobbies for you, and if others might enjoy them afterwards (like art), that is a side benefit, rather than a goal.

You're right. I just miss it and am trying to skip steps because I've been out of work for so long and recently had my disability claim that doctors recommended I file declined. Stressed with the holidays and anniversary of his death coming up. :/ Added you hun

I've heard you always have to appeal disability claims; so many fake it that they just flat deny every claim the first time around these days. Don't give up.

I would like to join your WL. For mental block, maybe try meditation or mindfulness. By focusing on your breathing, you give your mind some time to relax and not be distracted by technology or other worries.

Approved. I have stopped meditating recently. Thank you for your input. If anyone sees this and knows of free or cheap sets of guided meditations for issues like anxiety definitely let me know. I have to youtube them and the range in quality makes me less consistent about meditating.

I would like to apply for your WL. For when there's a mental block I think you should just cast your mind out and think on whatever may catch your fancy. I find that decoupling my thoughts from my everyday struggles helps me relax.

I'm having a rough time too. If you haven't, maybe just read or skim (it's quite lengthy) over some of my PSA on my battle with lyme, and hopefully it helps to encourage you to stay strong. Whitelist or not, you are not alone! Please take care, and I wish you well. I'll not be joining anything most likely, if that's any consolation - I have way too much crud and probably have all of what is offered too, since I'm a hoarder of many games...

I don't like any suffering, so I empathize with your situation. Getting into new things can help break my mental stuff - or just getting started when I really don't want to - even if it's a mock sort of thing. Sometimes just stressing that I am stressing creates its own mental block cascade/cycle that in and of itself is a block. I'm having trouble motivating myself a lot lately too. Procrastination is a huge dilemma for me! Throw me a message on Steam if you feel the need - I am always available to help anyone I can out!

I've read them before and appreciate people like you always trying to spread a bit of hope. :) Thank you for that. You're more than welcome to join and I've added you. Crud or no crud! :p

All of this second paragraph I get on a too real level. Same to you. I always want to be social but often have trouble doing so for real. I get high hopes with mania and immense depression makes me withdraw within 48 hours usually.

my condolences! i dont really have clinical depression but ive been thru some occasions of it, and ive to say what got me through all of it was the thought of letting down those who actually care about me if i fail to take care of myself. sometimes your presence means more to others than you think it does!

Nature has a way of healing. It helped me cope immensely last summer when we were out in Kentucky which is, in my opinion, the most beautiful part of the US. Colorado is the closest second. I'd love to get my life in order and fully move to one of them. I think taking a walk everyday in that part of the world would help me manage the suicidal thoughts. It's barren out where I live most of the time sadly. Added you, thank you.

I would also like to apply for your whitelist, but I feel like I say something else for you. The problem is that I'm not very good at dealing with mental blocks myself, and I tend to struggle with finding what to say to people going through difficult situations.

So the best I can do is to wish for you to have a good life, and to be able to cope with whatever you struggle with.

I'd like to apply for your WL, but... I don't know what to say. My brother's one of the closest people to me, and I could never imagine losing him. My dad lost his brother to suicide, and even though that was some years back it still comes back to haunt him sometimes, especially near his birthday. He blames himself for it. I hope that's not the case for you :(

I don't know... this is a cliche, but I just hope you can still see the world in a warm light -- I'm sure our loved ones would hate to see us sad, wherever they are.

That hurts to hear, I'm sorry to hear that. Suicide is rough and hurts everyone it leaves behind. I have to remind myself that since I've been dealing with major depression waves since 10 or so (23 now). I blame myself partially, it was a fucked situation and there was more I could have done but I was working full time and overtime for the holidays because I was in both restaurant and retail both at the time. I didn't do everything I could. He was bedridden, my parents didn't see the severity and he didn't make such known while he could have because I'd assume he felt like it was an overreaction. He always worried about being a burden. I haven't been able to cope. I try to stay happy and laughing like he'd want but it hurts sometimes to laugh knowing he can't. Added you.

It sounds like it was a really difficult time for your family, and that your brother was looking out for all of you even then. My prayers are with you and your family.

Still, I really wish you the best in looking forward and learning not to hate yourself for what happened. And when it gets hard, I hope that you can find the support you need. I feel like bad thoughts end up feeding on themselves, so I think doing whatever you can to feel better and tackle that cycle early when it starts rearing its head will help even just a little bit to keep from feeling too much like the world is without hope.

Thank you for the πŸ’™ and welcome to mine :)

is there a place for me in your WL? the best thing for depression is faith and prayer. i, like you do and everyone have insurmountable odds set before us. but we are not alone, even if it seems to be the case. ask God to get you thru one day at a time. this is what helped me more than anything else. believe and have hope.

To cope with grief, this is the most beautiful and sad piece of literature I've ever read. It is a post-scriptum in the last novel of the Dune Series from Frank Herbert. It is sad, but heals the soul.

Oh god my heart pinched reading that. My brother's favorite book & movie was Dune. I picked on him for it. (mostly to be a butthead, saw nothing too wrong with Dune just never actually managed to read it)

Thank you. I might read it for him. and am watching video now. (I adore animation)

Mental block, ermm. Try to think positive.
Everyone has their dear ones passed away before. Its natural, If you are too bothered about it, just think it as a passage of life.
Sooner or later, your friends, parents would pass away. It can be brutal such as been killed, caught in accident and other scenario, just bare it in mind that time will not really cure those wound if you do not accept it.

Depression can be created due to weak mental mindset and you would need to overcome it by remembering the happy stuffs you did with your brother and how you would carry on your life and not make him worrying about you instead.

You can cry for days but if you do not really dare to bare the truth or you keep remembering it as a bad memory, you would not be able to overcome it.

As for encouragement can't say much, just to enjoy the happiness of life and not letting depression take you down.
