Hey man, I read your entire post and it really hit home to me in a lot of ways. People on here know who I am IRL so I’m not going to pour my souls out like you just freely did but know that you’re not alone in your feelings.

This world can be a dark and lonely place at times. Although we don’t know each other and likely never will, I hope you can take a bit of solace in knowing you’re not the only one that has many of those same thoughts. I’ve been through a lot of rehabilitation groups over the years and your exact feelings are shared by many.

Take no less than six hits of acid and then go to Endymion. Will cheer you right-the-frick up, I promise.

Find things that make you happy and focus on that. What gets me through is my Xbox and my new gf. If not talk to someone

Says the guy that responds in only middle school bully name calling. How about if I’m so wrong you explain it and discuss the issue you have a problem with. Change my mind or make me think. Or just stick to name calling like a simple minded fool.

Talk with a professional who is an expert in this field. Remember - it's all in your head. Mental illness is a horrible thing but it can be defeated.

Does the suicidal person have a plan to end his/her life? If so, hospitalization may be necessary. If not, seeking help from a mental health professional should be the first step.

I've never had any, but let your family and friends know you need them, baw. There ain't no shame in simply saying you need company/someone to talk to.

We are over medicated and under counseled.

That said seek counseling immediately and when they tell you you needs meds, fricking take them.

Good luck to you.

Recognize that it could be a lot worse.

You could be a Siamese twin. Your brother is gay. You are not. Your brother has a date tonight. You're connected from the waist down.

Life is difficult for everyone, and no one goes through unscathed. There are probably more stories like yours and SharkSaint than you would ever imagine. People deal with the daily pain in many different ways, drugs, alcohol, and sex to extreme are some of the unhealthier ways, but work, religion, and exercise are some of the healthier ways. Find a job you love, no matter the pay, and be the best at it. If you want to kill yourself, go running until you’re so tired you can’t go on, and pray. Prayer is the most powerful thing anyone can do, and the compassionate ear is always available. Always remember, we come into this world alone, and that’s the way we leave it, no matter how many loving friends and family are bedside. God is the only constant that is there every step of the way, you just have to be receptive.

Got to try a few different things my man. There is the medical route where you go talk to someone. The whole process can be infuriating just to find the right person that you like and even get an appt. They will recommend a drug protocol that they will then monitor and adjust. Hit or Miss for people I know. Some just don’t like going.
There are lots of routes through the church and many find this is a great way. Should give this a shot.
There are also lots of other therapies.
Mushrooms have been very beneficial to lots of people getting them out of the funk. They can also cause bigger problems in some with mental conditions.
Have to grind it out and find what works for you.
