I can’t stop crying I feel so insane for seeking information and trying to be lighthearted.

I just need a virtual hug… I am so overwhelmed by how exhausting it is to be misunderstood and then ridiculed for explaining I struggle with communication due to my autism…

It’s not a card to pull I just don’t know how or why else I can explain how sometimes I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong?????

I’m just big sad…

I just wanted to share that: while they are not experts, they are not historians… they ARE funny, creative, and great storytellers.

If you want a history forward podcast or docuseries then please look elsewhere for that. (Share examples if you like below)

Appreciate these guys for what they ARE. Not what you magically expect them to be.

Love Marcus and the work he does and the entire research team. Give them grace as it is incredibly difficult to tell a complete historically accurate story while also trying to bring levity and banter.

That is all. Hail yourselves.

(Feel free to share favorite sources, links, articles, or books about the current series or a series that you enjoy but maybe needed better context/research below)👇

Edit: I agree this series needs some work. However, these comments come up every single time they cover anything historical. Write them in. Send them books. We don’t need 100 posts complaining. Instead share something of substance with better quality information! 😇

I think we need to collectively change what lowercase L‘s look like because I’m really tired of seeing posts from my coworker thinking that it’s AI… but no that’s just Al from accounting.

I hated the lowercase L before, but now it feels like we really do need the baby tail.

Edit: I’ve found my people 😈

For how much hate I saw in both the LPOTL and lastpodcastontheleft subs.. I thought it was pretty decent!

I think people just are so used to cookie cutter interviews on major news networks. Remember podcasts used to be niche way for people to consume unique content. Just because they’re more famous and popular doesn’t mean it won’t still be awkward cringe humor. That’s what they do best, and it’s always a joy to see the guys geek out over something they’re genuinely interested in!

This is one of the better interviews that Henry has done. He kept the energy high even when the interviewee had a pretty mellow tone. And it didn’t feel like Henry was overly pushy with the Mormon stuff. It was more like a conversation amongst friends.

That’s just my take as a person with ADHD, myself. I can definitely see how it can be offputting to those without, but in my opinion, this was a overall a nice interview and it seems like RBen learned a lot from it and so did Henry.

Is it just me or are fireworks/firecrackers just fun in theory? Because personally, the noise, the danger, the smoke… all of it just makes it feel more overwhelming than enjoyable.

Also my poor animals hate it. I’d rather see a live performance or go to a bonfire than see fireworks… literally ever

I’ve been in an executive function paralysis cycle since losing my job because of my diagnosis 6 weeks ago.

I am getting worse.

Symptoms include:
• extreme fatigue and lack of interest
• gut issues/bloating and gaining weight without eating
• flank pain
• can’t sleep well/tossing and turning
•pins and needles and numbness occasionally
•loss of strength/mobility
•highly irritable (like I almost chucked my phone 3 times just typing this out)
•incapable of making plans
•loss of skills (no ability to express myself through basic forms of art)
•isolating
•afraid to/beyond anxious to be perceived
•general anxiety is at 10000%
•self harm is on the rise
•inability to see a future for myself (at all)

Worst part is I don’t have any established healthcare and I live in a healthcare desert.

I am broke. I’m an adult. I have no idea how to go on. I’m so stuck it’s not funny and I’m getting ANGRY and MEAN about it (to myself mostly but I’m starting to think some mean mean MEAN shit).

I’m at the end of my rope… as they say. I have a hard time planning for a future that… not only do I not see for myself (like at all) but I don’t really want anymore.

I don’t want to be here anymore. Like the only thing keeping me here is guilt and fear. I am incapable of seeing a future for myself and I’m wearing out my last welcome.

I’m a spec of the human I once was and I just want to be free… why is that so wrong? I know I’m a fuck up. I know I am. I don’t want to be lied to or gaslit into believing there is a future for myself when there isn’t…. I can’t even get out of bed anymore.

I just want to be done. Go to sleep and never wake and that’s okay! Right?

I really just have nothing left to live for. Our world is completely upside down. Justice is a myth. Mental health support is a myth. Healthcare is impossible to access and insanely expensive. I can’t do it anymore.

I wish I could just cry it out but I’m done. I’m ready. I’m checked out. I have nothing left in me.

I’m in my 30s which is so much further than I ever expected to make it. I never was interested in self harm until the last few years. I’ve made pitiful attempts but nothing serious. I started cutting just to prove I can feel more than dissociation and deep unbearable sadness… But I’m so broken and beaten down. I am a vacant shell of a human being. I’m not kind anymore. I’m not lovable. I’m bitter and hurting and just wasting away. My bed rotting has become the expectation not just the norm. I’ve turned to alcohol fully to just numb myself. I’m aware of the damage it’s causing me and what few relationships I’ve got left but I don’t see a point in stopping when there is literally no hope for a future.

Idk 🤷🏼 anyone else?

I wish a cry session would help but… like everything in this world it’s just a shitty bandaid that doesn’t do any real healing or improvement.

Hey, it’s me. The cry baby who wants to cry not alone.

TLDR: having a bad week at work. Share why you need to scream, cry, or burst below— via explanation or emojis that represent your current situation/mood/state of existence

I need one today. Even just via here. I’m so overwhelmingly alone right now… I started a new job a few weeks ago and have been suspecting that most of my new coworkers don’t like me or my personality. Today it was 100% confirmed. In one of the most immature yet unnecessarily confrontational ways.

All because I asked for her to put something away for me (a receipt) — we work at a front desk— that goes in a drawer that sits right next to her.

She ended up being so pissed off that I handed her something (at all) that she slammed down one of our tools so hard it almost broke. Then proceeded to run off for 10 mins to shit talk me and then come back to confront me and laugh condescendingly when I clammed up.

Anyway.. I’m now emotionally down for the count. I have -100 spoons. And I just I’m at a loss because I NEED THIS JOB. But it’s already looking like the dozens of other jobs I’ve been bullied out of.

I just wish I could exist. I wish I wasn’t so easy to hate. I just wish I could have a job that didn’t require me to get rid of every single aspect of who I am to do it and make everyone happy… it feels like I’m a goddamn sin to just exist

IF POSSIBLE— Mods help of course— NO DOWNVOTING. Let’s all be supportive and cry and yell and whatever we need to without worry of downvoting. If you need to say something hateful but indirect (as in not at one of us in this thread) please just do a lil PSA to avoid any confusion ❤️
