how many days per week do you feel like shit on average?

usually around 2 per

that's pretty good!

feel like shit like 'oh man I got so wasted' or feel like shit like 'I want to kill myself'

more often than not

idk personally i often feel pretty good days after i get wasted usually because i had a fun time the nigh before, tend to feel like shit when i have done nothing for days

yesterday was the first day in recent memory that i felt like shit literally all day, because i had a sinus headache that made me not want to move or think for about 24 hours. but generally speaking those kinds of feelings are kind of fleeting moments here and there, never a whole day. and usually gathered around the first half of the month when bills are due.

lol this is like the ultimate ILX thread

it's been less since I started to try to watch what I eat and exercise a little bit --- but still those nights wehre I'm like NO I'm a grownup and I'll go to bed WHEN I WANT and then going to work like ._.

my life is a constant battle between irl me and 5 year old me

i'd say i can reliably expect 3 days out of 7 to have low self-worth, to feel with certainty that my future will be bleak, that the forces shaping my life are beyond my control, etc. the other 4 days are usually pretty cool, tho

on a scale of 0 to 5: yesterday i was a 4.5 out of 5, today i'm somewhere between 2.8 and 3.1.

I more just meant physical vs psychological 'feel like shit'...not that there isn't overlap

I def feel like shit physically sometimes, like my legs were randomly sore last night, why idk. also I never get enough sleep. but I don't feel like shit psychologically very often.

xps

seven.

^^^

ya i don't sleep enough but i feel like it's gotten less bad as i've become less aware of it, i used to always think 'oh god i only slept x hours last night' now i perpetually undersleep but never actually do the mental calculation, and feel much better as a result

when you really feel like shit you get lots and lots of sleep (liberty permitting)

i am v grateful liberty does not permit me to sleep late

otm

3-4 probably. Self-inflicted mostly, either booze or drugs or just staying up too late.

think I'll wait til after stem-cell transplant to answer

I have a cold that kept me up most of last night and I still voted 0 in this

nice

some1 post the tuomas existential angst

comic

I am pretty bumbling irl and I credit that for being the reason why I would vote 0

the only times I actually feel terrible are when I have something like strep or when I have attempted to drink all of the alcohol in the world the night before

I felt terrible on Saturday morning because I was out until 3 a.m. on Friday and endured two friends crying for a couple hours.

dont u guys ever just feel like, bummed out though?

I find it nearly impossible to feel like shit for an entire day with a cute baby around, but I wake up feeling like shit pretty much every morning, feel better for the hour or so I spend with her, feel ok for the first part of the work day, feel like shit again by afternoon, feel good again if she's still awake when I get home, etc.

I endured a harrowing personal crisis at the end of October but it was so long prepared for and so necessary that its arrival was cathartic; and, sure, at least once a week I wonder why I'm still at my job.

2 on ssris, 6 off, so imma say 4

dont u guys ever just feel like, bummed out though?

awww this post

that's a one shit day every five day average

yeah I have shit no-sleep days and shit meh-at-the-world-and-myself days

I'm a pretty happy fella. I've lived long enough to work out most of the kinks. My shitty days-per-week average is under 1, so I rounded down to zero.

<3

I am Jamie dimon I feel like a million bucks all the time.

I pretty much never attempt to drink all the alcohol in the world anymore, so unless I'm actually ill, or have had some kind of dreadful life-crisis, this is a big fat 0. I never feel like shit. My lifestyle is geared around making me not ever feel like shit, because feeling shit is shit. Why would anyone tolerate it?

routine?

like for instance i just woke up and i feel like double-boiled dogshit but being not-unfamiliar with this feeling i know how to fix it (to an extent) and so i feel confident i'll upgrade myself to "shambling but ambulatory wreck" by oh say noon.

big fat 7. tolerate because i have no choice. woo.

I'm probably down to 3 or 4 a week from a solid 7 a year ago. Feels like a pretty epic achievement.

And the bad days are usually due to not having enough going on to shut out the constant EEEEEEEEEEEEEE of anxiety. And the good days are starting to be really good.

but still those nights wehre I'm like NO I'm a grownup and I'll go to bed WHEN I WANT and then going to work like ._.

7. chronic illness dudes. it's all relative though. i've learned to ignore what my body tells me, it's a whole other world of experience.

Having felt like shit for the last three weeks, this is probably a bad time to answer this question.

try seven years, lol

zero, but i pretty much never feel great either. I'm all about the monotonous even keel.

i haven't had any serious health issues to deal with as yet tho.

2 years ago my answer would have been 1 maybe 2.

this year 7.

and like zappi, i don't have a choice or solution beyond copious levels of booze.

oh, physical vs psycho : both.

1 max. Mostly 0.

yeah, zero. I'm not unhappy, in many ways

if this is about mental health rather than physical, i'd say i've moved towards zero in the last year or so, if having a more relaxed and ambient/irrelevant feeling of gloom means it's a zero, i no longer have the awful 100 per cent negative days i used to get now and again. touch wood.

Physically, maybe 4-5. Mentally, between 0 and 1.

must've voted last night, can't remember what score i gave, was gonna go with a conservative 5.

I'm perfectly happy to ignore what my body tells me, I'll get up feeling like I've been hit by a train if I have something fun to do. Unfortunately, 5 days a week I have to get up for a thing that I hate and which continues to assault me all day with either anxiety or boredom. By 7pm I feel like shit p much daily.

i first read this as "how many days do you feel like a shit" and i was like what the hell man?? as you were

i no longer have the awful 100 per cent negative days i used to get now and again. touch wood.

wanking is the best medicine for sure.

how many days per week do you take a shit on average?

It kinda sucks that my "feeling like shit" is entirely mental/emotional. Physically, I feel perfectly fine 99% of the time (excluding illness or physical overexertion). It would be nice to more fully enjoy that fact before the vagaries of age start chipping away at this meat sack.

let's put a big old check-mark in the YES column for today

bleh

As LocalGarda says, chronic illness can easily push one's average to 6 or 7. So will chronic depression. So will smoking a couple of packs a day, which may look like voluntary behavior, but the addiction component of that is so high as to blur the distinction.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

thought this was an old cattle grind ILTMI thread at first glance

lol

ha!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

All or nothing.

6's are the weird ones

people who really like synagogue or something? idk

a zero-sum game here!

those "0" people can fuck right off

<3 otm

within our wild swings we achieve balance here at ilx

18 people with a 0!?? that's insane.

....

today feels shittier than the other shitty days

today always get a bad rap

Lately every day.

this has been going on for three weeks now. not ill enough to go home and sleep it off, not well enough to feel like i can live a 100% normal human life either.
