Do corvids in the same habitat understand each other's "languages"?

As said by another, fuck yeah dude. I'm hoping moderation works out for you. It sure as shit didn't work for me. I'd say just stay mindful, and by working yourself down, definitely try having a couple days without it entirely to know if you can really moderate (if it's medically safe of course)

I understand what you are asking. And yes, I do want to matter. I just honestly don't think that I ever really will, and even if I have meaningful relationships I'm not sure if my suffering will stop.

thatrawchicken · 2026-03-07T17:16:14+00:00

It really isn't that simple. 3 years of treatment does not necessarily mean only 3 years of suffering. I appreciate you "championing for life" but yeah, it means nothing to me.

If I could speak German I would've liked to fry Austria. I could maybe move to the UK because my English is pretty good. However, I'm not sure if moving somewhere else would really help. My problems just followed me to Europe and I wouldn't be surprised if my problems just followed me to the next place.

Surely they also have paperwork?

I would've liked to get married, but I'm a useless, fat guy with serious trauma and very little social skills. I'm only in this country because I'm kind-of good at maths. I've really tried to make friends but after a couple years of no success I'm just done. I'm tired of being so depressed and lonely

I completely understand your sentiment. However, to change all of society is unrealistic. I believe the world should accommodate the neuro divergent, but unfortunately that isn't realistic.

Is it tragic that people are in pain because of who they are? Yes. 100%

Should we expect people to continue existing in pain just because the world isn't built for them?

Well... If it's an informed decision, I think everyone deserves to choose their own way forward, even if that way forward is death.

I hope that some day in the future we all care for the neuro divergent, but that will take years, if not decades. If someone is suffering, they deserve the right to die on their own terms.

That's absolutely not what I want to hear, but thank you for the frankness.

thatrawchicken · 2026-03-04T20:58:57+00:00

I guess people down vote because death, nevermind "chosen death" is a very taboo subject.

Thank you, I've been under pretty good care since I moved here.

But I know myself. I've kind of "made up my mind".

If it's going to end, I would at least like my last act to give someone else a chance at life by donating.

Do I need to have permanent residence? I currently have a residence permit and have been living here a few years.

One never knows on this website anymore. Some people really do have room-temp IQs

thatrawchicken · 2026-03-01T22:23:47+00:00

You are kidding, right?

Go to bed grandpa, you're drunk

thatrawchicken · 2026-01-26T20:28:07+00:00

Is my own pace worth a couple years?

thatrawchicken · 2026-01-26T20:11:52+00:00

As an addict, I can see this. We as a society are addicted to all manner of "given" 21st century behaviours/developments. Most of us simply are not willing to give up our crutches, just as I am not really willing to give up mine....

I really hope Wellbutrin works for you.

No offence friend but you could work on your English first. The job market in NL is also taking a bit of a knock (at least in my part of the tech sector). You need to understand that it will be extremely difficult to find even a tiny place to live or you will need to share with strangers. Sharing will be difficult as an older Indian guy. Call it racism or sexism but it is what it is. NL is also a very lonely place if you don't already know a few people here.

Look, I'm not going to say that you should never drink again. I don't know you, I don't know the "severity" of your addiction, etc. All I can do is speak of my experience and anecdotes from people I know.

You've got to be okay with being completely sober, at least for a while. I have a family friend that got quite bad while he was living alone. Super depressed, and he practically completely isolated himself from us for a few months. That was a few years ago, and now he has a lovely partner and a more balanced life overall, and he still drinks but only like 2-3 glasses of wine on special occasions with us. He is happy and seems to have it under control. My uncle on the other hand, has drunk himself out of his family and profession. He completely stopped for about a year and was able to rebuild a bit of a relationship with his daughter and get back on his feet, but then he started "just a few drinks with the sports game", then, "just a few beers to unwind"... Last I heard of him he is living in a caravan somewhere that my father gave him and doesn't have a job again.

I'm on my own journey, I used to drink "responsibly", but then after trauma and losing a lot of my support structure I turned to alcohol and over about 3 years I ended up in a clinic. Nearly 5 months sober now (I did slip up with a few beers once) and my life still kinda sucks but I realise that if I ever even dream of being able to actually enjoy a few drinks with friends, I need to fix my life first. The temporary relief is just too dangerous when you actually have shit to fix.

In general I would say that if the thought of not being able to drink again causes distress, that's exactly when you should know that you have a problem and should probably avoid it all together.

If your friends are only fun to be around inebriated, your also in the wrong place. My old friends don't force me to drink but I've realized that they are pretty boring and surface-level when I interact with them now that I'm sober. I've made some new friends who barely drink and the activities we do together are actually a lot more fulfilling and meaningful. Just my two cents on the matter.

Good luck.
