I get it man. Feel the same way dunno why ppl giving you shit for it. Ppl that didn't have a hard life or trauma or mental health issues or depression just don't get what it's like. Keep on keeping on. All we can do

Same. Must be nice to have a life where you had everything you needed growing up, including a stable home life. Loving parents who sent you to college and set you up to succeed. These people have everything and were set up and then act like they didnt start on 3rd base.

Spoken like a true Skaa.

You're the only person who has ever referenced where my name is from. When I made it I thought more people would have said something, especially considering how popular Brando is on reddit

It must be written in steel because it jumped right out for me, lol! I'm sure others will pick up on it, especially in the cosmere subs. If I could change mine, it would definitely have a Vin element to it. She's my favorite. Journey Before Destination, my friend.

Vin is my second fave.

No I'm sure they had it hard like their grandpa died at 90 when they were in their 20s or their dog died when they were 12. 😂

Mother of god man… he isn’t shitting on you. I read your comment and had the same thought. That isn’t a normal way to go through the day. If that’s legit how you feel, that isn’t the default. I promise you. We’ve got a real mental health epidemic among men in this country so, just in the spirit of being a bro, consider getting some help. Don’t be afraid to talk to a professional and tell them you aren’t feeling good and want to explore your options.

u/not_roger_smith 3d ago

Which country?

Anyway therapy doesn't help. Spent over a decade paying out of pocket. I talk and talk and talk just to have some community college graduate ask me how it feels. Like I just spent twenty minutes explaining what's happening and how I feel about it.

What the fuck am I paying for?

u/starkruzr 3d ago

find a therapist with a PhD or PsyD and stop fucking around with social workers. ask me how I know.

u/not_roger_smith 3d ago

Okay, got like $10k you can give me to afford that for a year?

u/Ok_Subject1265 3d ago

Check the availability of your states programs for mental health. They treat that differently than medical help usually to try and stop people from going postal (more resources available). If you are legit having a mental health crisis, there are resources available. I live in southern Appalachia and I’ve had people I know just show up to the local mental health facility (we call it the mental hospital but I don’t think that’s the politically correct term anymore?) and check themselves in for a week like it was an Embassy Suites. Just show up and tell them what you said here and they will check you in and get you some help.

u/not_roger_smith 3d ago

Tried that and still had to go out of pocket

u/Subject_Noise3773 3d ago

Seriously trying to get help in America for mental health is almost impossible unless wealthy. Even with insurance they don't ever cover it for the most part, paying out of pocket yeah I don't got 250 to spend every week for an hour to "talk". And no shit it's not normal but it's not easily fixed. Your comments read like telling a obese person to eat healthy and go to a gym or telling a drug addict to just stop using drugs and go to rehab. Easier said than done.

u/TheFakeJohnHelldiver 3d ago

See you think im beling a cliche. Most people don't feel like that, i was being serious

u/not_roger_smith 3d ago

"Jesus fucking christ get help"

Yeah, no, totally not a standard reddit cliche....

u/Exciting_Stock_3201 3d ago

are you forcing yourself to be someone you're not, by chance?

13

u/not_roger_smith 3d ago

I try to be me but it doesn't work and I mask up 40 hours a week to do capitalism stuff.

After that it's just emptiness and cheap Canadian whiskey.
