Stay strong dawg. A lot of times the responsibility we’re saddled with can be overwhelming and it feels like we’re not even living a “real” life. I hope one day you can get the freedom you deserve.
Thanks for the pick me up fam
Same to you
Just another trip down the valley i guess well come out on top tho
My gf knows what I’ve been through and still has no patience when it comes to my depression/mental health. Been there and helped her get thru her problems but when it comes to mine it’s jus “well get thru it. You can’t open up? Tough s*** I do for you. it’s not hard” yet I been like this all my life. Even with my parents. But she wouldn’t know that cause she never asks about my life whatsoever. Whole relationship has been about her. Getting to know someone and their back story helps you figure out why they move a certain way and how you can approach them. She doesn’t get that. She can ask her old friend bout deep s*** but with me she too afraid to ask or get deep with me! Her own f***ing boyfriend. I’m so tired y’all. And we jus got our first place together smh
I come here cause I’ve got no one to talk to about this. Everyone is busy, so am I and I’d never hole that against them. We adults doing adult s***. I jus wish my mom was here. She knew me the best man. I don’t have anyone nearly as close to open up about my s*** so I jus tuck it in and fix the problems as I move. If it’s something I can fix or something I can’t do anything to better it, why complain and worry about it. Maybe that’s the problem? Idk man

Love to you my brother.. I hope you get through whatever you are going through. All I know is you just gotta keep fighting, there's always brighter days ahead and the passage of time alone is healing.
A tough pill to swallow but women see men who open up in that way as weak and lose sexual attraction to you when you do (from my own experience), they see you more as a friend EVEN IF SHE LOVES YOU, I'm not saying stay closed but open to your boys, your therapist or your close family instead. As a man we are in the unfortunate of being providers/leaders/dominant/strong we have to be strong for the people in our life even if we aren't.
Like I said try and find the balance but don't expect your girlfriend to play that your role for you as you do for her unless you want her to see you in a more platonic way. Sad but true.
I'm here to talk btw.. I went through suicidal depression for years so I've been through it all. It's tough.

Nothing can beat a mother's love it is the closest thing to being unconditional. I'm sorry for your loss I don't know what I would do if I lost my mother.
Stay strong, king. You've come very far and have a long journey ahead of you
Experiencing so much pain rn. Like the universe is working against.
Sending love to you my brother. Pain will always pass you just gotta keep fighting through it. It's a battle but it's worth it in the end.
Every day is another intangible brick placed down in the foundation that will be the base of operations for my future self
just been going through a tough breakup and dealing with my mom being in the hospital and i’m mentally at a all time low and just need help

Take it one step at a time. Dont overextend yourself, treat every step like a major victory.
You got a Craig of the Creek avi so i already know you cool people. Your mom raised a strong child, and she is strong herself. Be patient with yourself and dont forget that you are loved
life is tough 😪
It sure is man. But theres always a way to overcome it. Always. Much love

definitely. i feel like venting can be done in a healthy way, but there's a time to pick yourself to overcome whatever adversity we face.
much love
If I know I have to wake up early I get anxious about falling to sleep and therefore can't sleep.

This is the worst
For those of you that see therapists do you tell them everything wrong with you or you gloss over or hold back certain things?
I'm seeing someone at the moment and we're doing it over the phone, due to lockdowns. When she called, I was extremely emotional. I was about to say I couldn't do it and hang up. I'm a private person so that was hard to open up to a stranger over the phone, but it eventually got out. Even leading up to my second session, I was anxious and emotional l, but as the session went on, I was able to control myself...
thank you. in general (to a lesser degree in a therapist's setting), its hard for me to open up without "scanning" a person's body language, inflections/intonation for a considerable amount of time before i feel safe, and the digital obstacles take the sensory dimensions away from my ability to do this. coupled with my anxiety around what to say/transmuting my feelings into words, and trying to determine the right time to say how i feel in correspondence to communicational queues leaves me feeling paralyzed. I will definitely try online therapy again.
