Man, I hate to hear you’re going through shit that deep. Like the other guys have said, we’re here for you. I don’t have any special wisdom, but I got a lot of years, and a whole boatload of experience with having life kick me in the balls, or doing it to myself, and I’ve managed to find my way back every time so far. I know how easy and quickly things can get to where they feel overwhelming. I don’t have the faith some of the folks here have in a higher power to help, but I know some people find strength in that.
I’ve also lost a sister to suicide, so I’ve been on the back side of that looking back and wondering what I could have done differently that might have helped. I know you’re a few time zones East of me, but drop a line stephensmith4414@yahoo.com or just talk here, and we’ll give you what support we can.
There’s always a way forward even if it doesn’t seem like it right now. There is always hope. If there’s even a little bit you must grab hold onto it.
I can’t say I can fully understand but not too long ago I was in a very bad place with my mental health, depression and suicidal thoughts. I still can’t say I’m cured but I can say I’m in a good place now with the help of my friends family and psychologist. That I had enough hope left to seek help was the first step and most important thing to being here today.
Talk to someone. Here. Friends. Family. A doctor can listen and refer you onto supports including councilling and psychology.
It may be hard to speak to people about this but almost everyone in your life would want to help you. Sometimes in these situations we can’t work things out on our own because we are stuck in our own heads and with our thoughts.
Talk. even if it’s just with us here. You can always delete it later or something.
Hey brother sorry to hear that.
It’s been said before We are here to support and talk. It’s your log and when shit hits the fan we’re here.
This is sort of a free room, most of us dont know eachother so this is a great place to speak free and we will listen and we do care.
Hope you’kl sort the shit out.
Hope it’s working out big fella, there is always a way forward, even in what seems like a hole you can’t get out of. Keep your chin up, chat to someone if needed
I’m overwhelmed with the response guys… Thank you all. Had time to think everything through and already feeling a lot better. It’s time to rebuild myself. Massive setback but life goes on. In the words of Rocky Balboa:
Rocky Balboa: Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that.
Tomorrow is a fresh start, back at it. The gym is going to feel my thunder lol The alpha is back!! I sat and wrote down 10 things to aim for. Starting from zero at near 40 isn’t gonna be easy, but it can and will be done. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do with peoples logs starting tomorrow. Cheers all
Rise up mother fucker and crush it. It is the times that life sucks that builds the strength and wisdom of old age. I’m pulling for you man. Stand up and in time this will pass!
Glad to hear you sorted things out.
Just remember brother, the shit usually tries to kick back. So be prepared and ready to fight back.
Hope things keeps moving forward man. Looking forward to follow along.
These other brothers said it all. Good to hear you be more positive and great that you are finding a way to deal with it. Remember that No man is an island mate and around here we are brothers from another mother. You are not alone and we hear you and you count. Time to move forward one step at a time. Nothing to see here, so jog on.
I’m glad you’re feeling better now but I think itd still be a good idea if you still seek professional help and get a debrief of sorts after this episode so in future you can see it coming and better manage if anything were to happen again.
