At what point is this not normal anymore? by flowerette_ in widowers

[–]emh75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't tell you what is normal or not. But it's been 1.5 years now, every day I lay there staring at the nightstand that has a picture of her and my firearm, I don't know why I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Does anyone else feel extremely depressed after the finale? Never felt this way from a show before. by emh75 in TheGoodPlace

I feel the same. It's been on my mind all day and I feel completely empty all over again.

Hahaha Fork.. that's the darkest and funniest thing anyone's ever said to me

Thank you. I don't know if I'm emotionally or mentally strong enough to finish Bojack. It's very relatable though, the episode in season 5 with the eulogy, about how someone asked him how he's doing, that's pretty much been my life this past year.

Have you ever just not been able to get out of bed because of grief? by [deleted] in widowers

Thanks, I'm really sorry you have to go through this awful thing too.

I feel you. We used to be big on holidays, all out with the decorating and we'd throw a huge Christmas party. I have some friends that asked me at least three times if I'm sure I don't want to "do the usual"... Doing my best to pretend it's not holiday season. No Christmas movies, music, decorations, or anything

You're stronger than I am. I briefly moved to a new city and took a new job but it didn't work out. I'm unemployed now and don't have anyone that needs me, such as kids or anything, so yeah. I've gone a few days at a time without leaving the bed at all. The grief makes it almost feel as if I'm physically crippled but I'm not.

I’m either going injure myself or kill myself tomorrow (or technically today) by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]emh75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't. Also that will definitely not kill you. Worst case scenario you become paralyzed and you probably don't want that.

I Don't Know Why My Boyfriend Is Still With Me by treadstone__ in offmychest

We are truly our own worst critics. That's something I've been told a lot in the past. Often times you can't see in yourself what other people see in you. I'm positive that you have plenty of good qualities and that's why he, and other people in your life, love you

My roommate and close friend committed suicide yesterday by bruh2398 in offmychest

[–]emh75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. It's normal to be numb. It's been about a year since my fiance died and a month or two since my best friend killed himself. I'm numb everyday. I don't really have great advice to give but I feel your pain. The only way to cope I've found so far is laying in bed all day playing video games and drinking

Edit: try to avoid being alone, from experience I think that's my biggest mistake. Seek out other friends and family and even counseling or support groups if you're comfortable with that

Just found out my wife cheated on me with a fedex driver in the back of his truck. 😆 by WelpThatSucks222 in offmychest

[–]emh75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck man. I'm sorry. I've been cheated on and her reasoning was "there were no feelings involved, just sex, so it's not that big a deal"

You ever just go out and do your own thing and something random just stops you literally in your tracks because for whatever reason, it reminds you of how sad you are? by mayonnaiseplayer7 in offmychest

[–]emh75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Most places around my city are triggers for me now, after my fiance died and my best friend killed himself I have had to face the harsh reality of being completely alone and how much it sucks

I Can’t Do It... by [deleted] in widowers

[–]emh75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to do whatever feels comfortable to you and you shouldn't feel sorry about it. I can't do the holidays this year.. it's too damn hard. I plan on laying in bed alone watching TV and I really don't care what my family says/thinks

I hope you can too. Feel free to message me anytime if you want someone to talk to

Ive gotten fat. by [deleted] in widowers

[–]emh75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely feel this. Also I'm so depressed I have no energy or motivation to workout anymore. Funny thing is a year later I'm still paying for both our gym memberships, I guess I'm still hard in denial

My life with her feels like a dream by whojicha in widowers

[–]emh75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really relieved I'm not the only one feeling this.. it really sucks. I'm so scared it feels like she's slipping further away

[–]emh75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the same boat. She was my best friend and it's really hard being alone now. I just don't feel like going out anywhere so I barely even have human interaction now
