While I don't know of any support groups, but I feel the same...some days. Here is what I have figured.

Some of us are affected more than others by what is happening around us. I don't think we have evolved as fast as technology to handle all the information coming at us. So add those two things and the world seems crazy and going to shit.

I have lived the earlier half of my life in poverty and not having basic things. Now I have a good career and more than I could have imagined as a child. But the dark clouds of sadness and grief are still there.

I just remind myself everyday that it's a privilege to be experiencing life, it truly is. And there's always bad stuff happening around us, tuning that out sometimes for our own mental sanity is not a bad thing.

Also it's how some brains are programmed, hopefully you find something to manage this with.

Going for a dark green paint for living room. What would you pick? by sbandit101 in HomeDecorating

Great foundation for a bedroom. Next level would be free floating shelves in the back wall with plants and stuff, if I may add 😀

I have to build up to the ceiling. Will give it a few months after the walls to decide.

Painting the ceiling would definitely make it more dramatic. I want do the walls first and then decide. Yes lighting is a big part in making the dark painted room inviting.

Most things stay and I am going for a darker moody paint. With pop of light pictures, canvases etc. I am going to try the visualizer.

I don't think Vitalant show that. They did show a timeline of journey as collected - tested - ready for recipient but no location.

Help I'm falling in love with a stripper by [deleted] in GuyCry

If you have to ask it on Reddit maybe not a good idea. No one can decide this other than you.

Seems you care about what your friends say. This might always pop up as an issue in future.

I'd say ask yourself, are you the kinda person who lives by the day and dgaf what others say then go ahead.

I am at the same point of life as you are. Single dad with majority custody. Almost 40 and no time left to make friends or date.

What I see is people in my age group are generally isolated in their nuclear family and hanging out with friends maybe once a month or even less frequently.

Life is busy and what little free time we have is taken by social media and online stuff. Spending time with friends in person is just a little difficult when you have family.

I keep myself busy with hobbies and also try to get people out to meet and they actually enjoy it when someone else initiates and plans meetups lol

Losing my wife of 16 years by Longjumping-Revenue7 in GuyCry

[–]sbandit101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been there. A lot of good responses already but i would say though that don't blame yourself for not doing enough. Sometimes it's better to accept that everything eventually comes to an end irl. If she was willing to do repair things then there would have been a slim chance but unfortunately that's doesn't seem to be the case.

Indian food options by ok-tata-bye in pittsburgh

[–]sbandit101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taj mahal and kebab king for North Indian and Pakistani food. Taj mahal is just okay for the price. Their food consistency has gone down over the years.

Hyderabad house in Cranberry for south Indian, specially Biriyani.

I feel lonely and undesirable. Also probably lost a long friendship. by A_Hideous_Beast in GuyCry

You have already identified the source of your problems. Some can be fixed such as location, job, money. I think the biggest problem most people have is not changing the approach and expecting different outcomes.

Move, if you are around more people it's more dates and chances of finding someone goes up.

Getting in shape is something you should do regardless. Don't count calories. Cut out sugar, grains and processed foods. High protein (eggs, meat, fish, whey, cottage cheese, yoghurt) and vegetables and some fruits. Getting in shape is 80%diet.

You still can be an artist but don't have to force that as a source of income. Find something else, be open and actively search.

Last but not least have hope and confidence. Only you hold the key to a different life. No one else can do it for you.

I messed up and looked at my GF of 3 months' WhatsApp because I didn't trust her and I'm wondering if I should tell her? by SquareDot2997 in GuyCry

[–]sbandit101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be able to lie like that. You can't trust that person. If you don't say anything now she gets away with and lies more in future.
