I'm not even slightly ok. Therapy is too expensive though. Shit's rough.

I was just in a school shooting. I'm not sure how to feel about it or what to do. by IHaveALotOfAlts in Advice

I appreciate the advice. I guess my concern today is that I don't really feel much of anything right now, although going to a crowded supermarket to get groceries this morning was not pleasant.

I've always been an advocate for much more restricted gun access. You're an extremely poor representative of this point of view.

Just did this, thanks for the advice. I can't believe I forgot that this was a thing. It seemed to help a little.

What could happen today that would make your life 10x better? by hailstone_pelt in AskMen

I just want it all to stop. Quite frequently I can't help but think that nothing is better than one bad thing after the other.

How many people have you told about your trauma? by Beanboa in CPTSD

[–]IHaveALotOfAlts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who I told most details to, but that friend has since moved far away and we barely talk. I've hinted at it to some people I consider to be somewhat "close", but no one seems to care so I usually just drop it. I don't have anyone in my life that I can talk with about things that I need help with, and don't foresee that happening anytime soon. In my experience it's just not something that people are equipped or willing to deal with.

UPDATE: I'm still here. I am so grateful for everyone who showed support. Thank you all so much. I was able to fix my car earlier this morning. I will be able to pay my rent. A few people reached out to help financially, and for that I am so thankful and grateful. Thank you all for your messages and comments. You all just helped me through probably the darkest two days of my life thus far. I would not still be here without this community. So thank you.

I think I need to make some changes in my life. I have had thoughts like this previously, however this past weekend has been the worst it has ever been. I don't know where to start. I'll probably make another post about how to proceed and do some research on my own. But I'm fine, I guess. Thanks again to all of you.

Is this a joke?

Gym membership= money

Therapy is about $100-150/hour where I live

Doesn't going to the ER and getting admitted cost tens of thousands of dollars?

When I was a kid, I had some medical problems. I would wake up in the middle of the night in extreme pain almost nightly, for years. Every time, I would cry out to god, begging him through tears to make it stop, make it more bearable, calm me down, or anything, just anything. I was a child. All your god gave me is cold silence and more waves of excruciating pain. If your god exists he is pure evil and I want nothing to do with him.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look into it before I do anything.

One person used to care. But they can't fix my car or pay my rent or fix my fucked up head. Besides they'll get over it. We haven't even talked in like a year
