What keeps you going?

I’m at a point where three months into my worst depressive episode (longest and most intense of my life) I just don’t see a point. I think about what life would be like a year from now if I just stopped existing. My 2 friends wouldn’t be phased by that time because they have other friends, my family has their own stuff going on and would get over it, my cat would just be adopted by my roommate. I don’t have a job that makes a difference. My entire existence is so vain and meaningless. I’m single, don’t want to be in a relationship, don’t want kids. I’m disabled, disfigured, depressed, and am totally at rock bottom. There is not a single thing that is keeping me motivated to keep going in this life. Just an absolute shit hand I was dealt. Why would I fight to keep going if I have no worth and genuinely no one in my life would really care if I disappeared? These past three months I deleted all my social media accounts (Reddit aside) and no one cared. No one reached out once. When I talked to my friends they shrugged off anything I had to say like they’ve heard it before. No one cares about my life, so genuinely why on earth would I?

Where to find cool eyepatches in the city?

Very random, and possibly the wrong subreddit for this question, but I figured it was worth a shot!

I’m monocular (blind in one eye) and wear a scleral shell, and my style leans alternative/experimental/coquette/whatever I feel like that day. As much as I like my shell, I would love to explore cool, fashionable and unique eyepatches!

Does anyone know of local stores (costume, vintage, etc.) that might have a cool selection of eyepatches or eye accessories (even cool eyeglasses or sunglasses!) that I can check out?

What’s the best ginger-forward food or drink you’ve had in the city?

I have always loved ginger, but lately it’s turned into more of an unexplainable obsession. I’ve been eating raw ginger every morning and night, and drinking way more ginger drinks and juices than any normal person.

I’m open to quite literally anything, but I’m primarily looking for a ginger-heavy noodle dish in the city so if anyone can suggest me their favorite, I would be eternally grateful.

Thank you in advance, and yes, she was also my favorite Spice Girl.

Favorite place for a post show drink?

I got a free ticket to see Celebrity Autobiography today and was just curious: what’s your favorite place around the area to get a drink before or after a show that isn’t too crowded? Bonus points if it’s somewhere that’s cool to go solo. Trying to expand my options!

Emo Night 6/19 NYC

I’m 32F, Indian-American, living in NYC for almost a decade and been into emo bands since I can remember having taste in music. I’ve gone to several concerts alone (FOB, Paramore, TAI…) but I’ve always wanted to go to Emo Night! Sadly, legitimately none of my friends like or are into the music.

I won two tickets to the one at LPR tomorrow and I’m debating whether it would be weird to go alone. I’m definitely on the more awkward side in social settings like this without friends (especially predominantly white spaces - I’m just assuming here), but i would love to sing and dance to these songs and bands with likeminded people and be in a setting where my (very loud) sense of style isn’t considered crazy.

Any suggestions? Is this too much of a push for someone like me? Would you think i was weird if you saw someone alone at an event like this?

Where can I get a good vegetarian caesar salad wrap?

I’m a pescatarian, and one thing I really and truly miss are chicken caesar salad wraps. Particularly something similar to the one at Milano Market. Is there anywhere in particular that makes them really well with vegetarian protein? Or even salmon/fish? I’ve tried a few places (Just Salad types…) and left super unsatisfied. Any recs would be much appreciated!
