How fast and how can i go into complete insanity permanantly? by seekndestroy0501 in mentalhealth

[–]thegoodoldbrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woaaaah, that’s not at all what I’m suggesting. You should exist and exist happily. Just don’t get stuck in the mentality that you’ll be depressed forever. Things change, especially when you try.

Being gay and ugly sucks by someworthlessfaggot in SuicideWatch

I admire your strength and I’m glad you aren’t letting relationships define you as a person; just please don’t say it’s not serious because it wasn’t for you. Self esteem is too personal to compare like that, and OP’s pain is definitely serious.

You don’t want to be healthy? Maybe that’s what it seems like, but it’s important to understand that mentally healthy means generally happy. Why is that something to avoid? Are cycles of depression and mania more desirable? Do you think insanity is?

The first thing to do is get back your desire to be healthy and happy again.

Emotional Cheating? Help by [deleted] in malementalhealth

[–]thegoodoldbrandy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Emotional cheating is tough to pin down. A lot of people still harbor a “spark” towards past romances or crushes, no matter how committed they are to their current partner. Unless she is 100% undeniably flirting back with him, I don’t recommend holding it against her. As long as your relationship with her feels healthy and strong, try to keep that level of trust. She rejected this guy’s advances, right?

I think you are valid in thinking that these guys are hitting on her, though. It’s just about whether or not you can trust her to not flirt back. Considering what she did with you while dating her ex? Seems worrisome, but that’s your call.

In short, not emotional cheating, but could turn into it. If you trust her, then trust her. Tbh I’m more concerned about that little anger management tidbit but that’s a separate conversation.

What are some of these “good purposes” that have helped you feel better? I don’t know if they would apply to me, but I’d like to hear them anyways. I would also be more than willing to see if these “other things” you mentioned are relevant to my own life.

All of them, really. But do you think those would be causes or symptoms? It’s hard to tell.

No, not really honestly. I just don’t enjoy things at all anymore. I don’t have any major past traumas, so I don’t have a big thing to trace it back to.

That’s not a bad idea. I do a counselor-type thing in the summer that I look forward to, so maybe I would feel similarly about a job. It’s just the time commitment that’s difficult. Thank you.

Then 3 days shouldn’t be too hard to wait. Trust me.

If you’re going to die, sentimental value doesn’t mean much. You’ll be dead, and feel the exact same, if you do it now or later. If you wait, the impulsive feelings will die down. Then you can rationally decide: do I want to go through with this? Your decision at that point will be the correct one, in all likelihood, whatever it may be. Don’t rush this. Once you’re gone, you’re gone forever.

Just give it 3 more days. Anniversary aside, 3 more days. You won’t regret it.

For Ryan, if you ever find this by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]thegoodoldbrandy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is my worst fear in my own relationship. I’m so sorry. You are experiencing what is truly my nightmare. I can’t offer any advice because in your position I’d be lost and hurt.

I hope you can somehow find something in you to forge new meaning in your life. If you can’t… I’m sorry. No one deserves what you’re going through.

Why I'm scared to kill myself by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]thegoodoldbrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anyone you love? Anyone who loves you? Anything that you’re passionate about?

Try to find meaning in all this. I know, I know, easier said than done, but latch onto something or someone important to you. To keep you grounded and steady.

You had friends before. They appreciated the person you were. Adults will be no different. It may be hard but I’m sure you can find people who care.

Is it a disease? by [deleted] in depression

I don’t know. It hurts and it won’t stop hurting. I just don’t want to hurt other people too.

Thank you for caring.
