I appreciate the effort you put into that post. Could be a cry for help, trying to wrestle with both sides of the issue in my mind, an attempt to inject humor into a sometimes very sad situation? All or none of the above.
I wasn’t aware I had to submit any and all evidence and information I have ever written related to the subject in my original post before making some comments that are making light of potentially myself and the condition. The first job at hand is awareness.
If you really have time or interest you can search for the term “mental” or “mental illness” and @readalot on here to see the numerous times I’ve tried to talk a young person out of trying or using AAS as well as the times I’ve broached the subject of mental illness in AAS-based bodybuilding. Regardless, I can see if you just viewed the words I shared in this thread on their own that you could think I was being callous instead of trying to be humorous with such a sad situation. That’s the challenge with this venue.
I asked a question and received an answer. I sense you and I aren’t hitting it off. Thanks for your contribution and sharing your feedback. My feedback to you would be to work on that ladder of inference and name calling.
Well this helps me make sense of your comments. Thank you… I didn’t quite get your comment about the sh***y writing but if you are playing to an audience I get it. Glad you got some likes.
Thanks for taking the time to share you have challenges around this topic and perhaps we will have a chance to explore further.
These days you ought to be careful giving out those instructions, someone may take you up on it. Especially with how influential and damaging social media can be for some.
If you are hurting and need someone to talk with, just know I will listen. There are resources to help.
Have a good night.
[Note, I liked you last comment not to condone or show my approval, but to be empathetic, especially if you were triggered by my humor.]
Not really. But if you think so then I am glad you are glad. Ridicule, even of your own condition, can be cathartic. People sublimate and cope in different ways.
In my mind life is too short to part ways tonight in a bad way. I hadn’t taken a chance to post more serious content in this thread yet but I probably will. Take it easy.
Thanks for sharing the lyrics. A quick read of your other thread educated me about your cardiac event. I suffered one in 2020 although not as severe as yours. Small world and I understand what that is all about. Thanks for sharing your story. I am still affected by my event every day. I appreciate you taking the time to write about your journey.
Don’t sell yourself short. Not many people can do that well. If I specify a weld on an engineering drawing I might get the weld I expect 30% of the time.
