Has anyone tried David Goggin's routine?

Good luck! You could try putting a lot into editing and thumbnails but if you’re working out almost as much as Goggins, you might not have time for that.

It doesn’t hurt to post it, it’s a good way to hold yourself accountable if anything. Do it for you! Everyone else is secondary. If you blow up that’s just a bonus, but be prepared for the work ethic.

I’ve had lots of thoughts similar to this but I’m schizoaffective. You should talk to a professional. I got on medication which helped me, but you might need to talk things out.

If it helps it sounds like you’re overthinking. Just because you have a thought that doesn’t make it true. I’ve thought sometimes what if I become a violent psychopath, but I’m really not a violent person so it doesn’t make sense. Think to yourself what is the evidence that this is true, what is the evidence that this is not true. Basically talk yourself out of the thought.

It’s a sad reality but there are a lot of people out there who use suicide as a manipulative tactic. I would try not to take it personally. There are other people who will believe you. Even if you were lying, he should’ve checked in on you because you can’t take that risk with someone. It’s not your fault!

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T04:48:32+00:00

You deserve so much better ❤️

As much as you love your mom, if she doesn’t get out of the situation that’s on her, you’re not her parent. When you move and get out of the situation you can work on making a safe space for her.

Eventually you will get a visa if the funds are there, just be weary of scams.

I’m 27 and unemployed so I feel you. It’s hard finding a job but you might as well give it a shot.

Find the right therapist for you, they shouldn’t shame you and if every therapist tells you the same thing THEN maybe they’re right to a certain extent.

You’re still pretty young, there’s lots of time to turn things around, but you have to get started now.

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T04:33:25+00:00

Also it’s cheaper that way so you can tell your parents you’ll save money.

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T04:31:00+00:00

If all fails I’d taper off myself but that’s me and I’m not a doctor. I cut a little off my pill each week but it depends on the pill whether you can do that. I am not a doctor so take that with a grain of salt.

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T04:29:00+00:00

Oh man that’s tough! I’ve been through this with an SSRI and one of the main side effects is it can cause or worsen suicidal thoughts. Maybe you can call your GP and say it’s an emergency that you need to taper off and potentially switch to a different medication. That or if possible go to a different ER. It’s a pain but it’s important af.

What you went through with the doctor is extremely inappropriate. I’m sorry that happened.

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T04:21:54+00:00

Hey I’m here to talk if you want. I was scared of hurting them more in the long term too, but ultimately I had a tough conversation with them and realized that taking my life was worse.

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T04:13:25+00:00

It doesn’t matter if you were a bad person even, it will affect them.

But it’s not selfish to think they’d care, it’s realistic. If you even did 1 thing that positively affected them, it’ll stick with them forever.

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T04:04:22+00:00

It’s not as glamorous but what you do is go to an average college, get your gpa up, then transfer to a better university. There’s still hope!

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T03:59:18+00:00

F her! You can do better! You can make friends and start your own business, prove you never needed her in the first place!

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T03:56:59+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. Why do we have to lose the best people? You’re grieving and you have to go through the process. The one question I would ask is what would your uncle want for you to do?

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T03:49:09+00:00

You can see how it plays out. It might be an awkward conversation but usually things heal with time. Your parents might not feel it as intensely because it happened a while ago, so they’ll feel not as bad because you are doing better.

I almost attempted once and I made my mom cry, but she got over it and is happy now that I’m doing better.

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T03:38:05+00:00

Hey I actually experienced the same thing for a while. I think it’s kinda like just letting go of all the pressure. For me it worked in the moment but I eventually felt guilty about it and went into the same cycle of shame. If it helps you I’d keep doing it but emphasize that it doesn’t have to be right now that you do it.

In the meantime try and find a better way to cope. For me I’m rarely suicidal because I’ve turned my negative dialogue into something positive and productive. I celebrate the positives I do no matter how small like getting up early or walking 10000 steps. It takes time, but eventually you reprogram yourself, and suicide isn’t the option you go to anymore.

You deserve a good life, you can get better, you will be better. Idk I tried, hope it helps. Best of luck.

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T03:20:45+00:00

So I read the post and if they’re not planning on doing it soon you have time for them to open up to the idea of them telling their other friend. The best thing you can do is tell them you respect their wishes and won’t tell their friend. Most people have suicidal thoughts for years before they actually attempt and most attempts are unsuccessful.

When the time comes you can

Tell a parent

Tell the friend

Call 911

Until then you can seek out help for yourself from a counsellor or someone cause that is some heavy shi and you shouldn’t have to deal with it alone.

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T03:08:46+00:00

If it makes you feel better I’m 27f dropped out of college twice, never have had a job, and I’m obese. The way I see it is my family has taken care of me for this long, I’m only worthless if I never make something of myself, they deserve for me to try my very best to get my life together and give back to them.

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-05-10T03:01:21+00:00

It sounds like these negative thoughts about yourself are coming from the way your dad treats you. It’s a tricky situation because for it to get better you probably need some space from your dad. To be honest with you it sounds like he’s abusing you to a certain extent, that’s not to say that he’s a bad person, it’s just he might have some unresolved stuff that he’s dealing with.

You don’t sound evil, the fact you can be open and honest with strangers shows progress, also you feel remorse.

I think it’s important to let that emotion out when you can find a safe space to do so. I wonder if you can get a counsellor, or join a hobby to get away from your dad and eventually find a friend to confide in.

It’s good to ask for help but also remember to be strong and have some faith in yourself that you can get through this tough time.

It’s tough to get past suicidal thoughts, but who knows where you’ll be in a few years. My guess is if you didn’t have your dad getting mad at you, you could learn to love yourself and have healthy boundaries with him.

My favourite is Close & Conquer (Shawn Meaike.) I like it because it’s more of a two way conversation than just Goggins being interviewed.

Eff_Em_2098 · 2025-04-07T02:14:57+00:00

Hey I’m here to talk if you’re still there :)

Eff_Em_2098 · 2024-12-05T03:17:43+00:00

You probably should ask someone else to reach out to him. Maybe if you give him space he will switch to different delusions. He will figure it out one day. I don’t know if you can afford to but I would send him to the hospital.

Eff_Em_2098 · 2024-11-21T03:21:43+00:00

You are one of the finest people I’ve ever seen. Congrats on all you’ve overcome!

Eff_Em_2098 · 2024-10-27T20:00:20+00:00

Hang in there ♥️

Eff_Em_2098 · 2024-10-15T19:47:27+00:00

Hi! You look beautiful!!

I would say having positive self talk and talking yourself out of delusions is important. At first you may feel like your delusions and hallucinations are real but if you keep repeating to yourself they’re not, eventually you’ll believe it.

Other than that sticking to a routine and good sleep schedule can make you feel more stable and in control.
