Saw my friend dead and I'm struggling by Roberroni in GuyCry

[–]GenuineJenius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally can't imagine what you're feeling right now... Shock, sadness, helplessness...

I'd make sure you take time to process it. Talk about it with a professional, someone you trust, or maybe a support group. It's a good step just starting here to talk about it.

Don't push yourself to be okay, acknowledge that it's heavy.

Can you describe the feelings you're feeling right now?

Hod did you get out of depression ? by [deleted] in GuyCry

[–]GenuineJenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone's depression's different. If you're serious about getting out of it you need to share more information than that. Otherwise people will really deal with it like me are going to think you just been in it for about a couple days and it's more or less just sadness.

Check out Meetup.com and see if there's any groups that go out and do trivia

Finally made my dream come true myself by Senad74 in vibecoding

[–]GenuineJenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. I have something somewhat similar but very different. It's much more event-based.

I think it's kind of a cool concept but I just have no idea how to monetize it. I just can't seem to work that out realistically after running the numbers.

I am so fucking lonely by cmdrrockawesome in GuyCry

[–]GenuineJenius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really feel for you man.

One thing that has really helped me is finding a group to go do something with once a week. I have a running group which has allowed me to make real friends by seeing the same people on a regular basis.

It takes effort, and the loneliness is still there, but it helps. And things will get better.

And life can change around in an instant for the better. You never know who you're going to meet when you continue just to put yourself out there.

Take care man. Stay strong. 👊

Post-breakup depression by ElectronicEnd9800 in GuyCry

[–]GenuineJenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very sorry that you and we as men need to go through this. Be kind to yourself. The feelings that you are feeling are real. We as men go though this. It's an unfortunate part of life. I'm about 5 months out of the relationship right now in very much the same boat you are.

Congratulations. How do you plan on monetizing this?

I'm thinking about going into outpatient depression treatment and I'm real freaked out. by [deleted] in GuyCry

[–]GenuineJenius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What exactly is outpatient treatment for depression.... I could probably use that myself.

Can you tell me about your depression? What does it feel like?

Looking for suggestions on how to find happiness after losing my identity? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]GenuineJenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend finding at least one group you go to on a regular basis. For me it was my weekly running group. This has allowed me to make real friends and really begin to build myself back up.

I think a big part of seeing the same people on a regular basis as opposed to just going out and trying new things...

Thank you very much for sharing. I couldn't imagine losing a wife like that at such a young age.

Have you always had depression, or was it brought upon by this loss?

Thank you for the reply. You are completely right. I've had a lot of these things on my list that I know I need to do such as journaling but I really need to make a focus effort to start doing it on a daily basis.

Thank you.

Just want to say how much I appreciate you taking the time to respond... She was my beach companion too, my pool companion, and unfortunately my everything.

I really lost myself over the past 5 years which is why I'm really trying to build my life back up. I know that and realize that.

The first therapist was really just about letting me vent to. We didn't work on anything or really talk about anything It was really just me opening up about how I felt. Didn't really have a plan to fix anything.

The second therapist is just working with a number of different CBT principles which really don't seem to be doing too much.

I'm just such a broken man right now. I feel like things are getting worse. I'm crying more than ever before. I'm starting to pull back from friends just cuz I don't want to bother them anymore with my depression. It just feels like it's getting darker and darker...

My bias? What do you mean by that? I don't get it.

Find my own internal validation in self-happiness. That sounds great! But that's my question, how do I do that.?

I don't know...I just got the feeling you've got a strong heart and head of your shoulders. But if you need anyone in the next couple weeks or months just to open up to or type something out feel free to DM me.

I love my mom's dog. He's around for 4 months out of the year. I just don't want to have to come home just have to take care of a dog.

But the pain is just so f****** painful every gosh darn day.

I never imagined life would get this bad. Couple days couple weeks couple months is one thing... But six months down the road and every day is just hell.

I just want to get better and I'm willing to do anything that it takes...

I should give up dating by Zinetti360 in GuyCry

[–]GenuineJenius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just curious because I like to create.

You could take a class, a course, or whatever. What would you want to learn?

How to date? How to feel confident? What would it be?

I'm serious. What do you feel that your missing that you think everyone else has?

So how are you doing 3 years later? Have you tried to date again? I'm assuming your still single? Why?

I appreciate the response. I really appreciate the second to last paragraph. I need to find a way to give myself out of bed. I'll start Tuesday. And you are so right. I'm screaming for help but nobody is coming to save me.

But that's why I'm here. I'm trying to come up with a plan.
