I was listening to Bishop Robert Barren's video on the Five Signs of the Holy Spirit and one of the signs was on joy. What if you deal with things like depression? I struggle with depression due to autism and living in a world that isn't built for it. It's been a lifelong battle to not give in to it. So, I guess how would joy relate to people who deal with mental health issues like me? I've always wished I could be that kind of person that people would mention how they radiate joy despite struggles, but the truth is a lot of times I can't help but feel anger and sadness. Or maybe I am just completely misunderstanding what joy really is.

Hi, so I've been wanting to try my hand at making a silent vlog style channel. I've made a couple of recordings to get a feel for making videos, and while I do enjoy staging and coming up with interesting viewing angles, I am struggling with anxiety. Maybe I am just over worrying. But like how do I get used to recording myself doing things? Or is this just something that goes away after a while?

I got into minimalism through Joshua Becker's youtube. And I've been de-cluttering over the past few years now. But now I've been really focused on getting rid of stuff. Kinda want to just have it all fit into a suitcase and my backpack. My housing situation is uncertain right now so I guess part of the driving factor is that I don't really want to deal with much

A few years ago I was at university pursuing my dreams, and while I was there I learned more about the Catholic faith from a class I took. I knew immediately that I wanted to become a Catholic! I even started going to the nearest local parish to attend Mass weekly.

Then I unexpectedly had to drop out of university because of fiances. I moved back to my parents. Since then, I have received a lot of push back from family members. Even had one sibling keep talking about Catholics vs. Protestants which I couldn't have cared less about.

My financial situation seems to always get worse despite my best efforts. I also decided to quit my toxic job because I just couldn't take working there anymore. It was severely affecting my physical and mental health. I'm currently in the process of looking for more work, and an ex-manager decided to publicly humiliate me on social media all because I was looking for other places to work.

I don't regret my decision to convert though. And I fully want to trust that God will provide me with what I need.

So, yeah I decided to finally quit my job at McDonald because I was getting tired of all of the bs at our store. And mind you, I am not the only one who has complained about upper management and how toxic the environment is. But after asking in a public group if any local businesses were hiring, an ex-manager criticized me for quitting and got upset when I called out the store's bs, Like bruh wtf??? Legit didn't even think that she was one of the toxic managers so her behavior baffled me
