Tbh lately I’ve not felt great. Can’t ever really sleep unless I stay up so long that I just pass out from lack of sleep, and even then I get maybe 4 hours of sleep. I’ve tried different sleep aids before, but none of them really help. I got days where I don’t wanna be around anyone because I know I’m just in the type of mood where I would yell at them. So I just stay to myself and stay quiet because I don’t want to upset anyone (here or irl). Everything is just shitty.

Blaze my friend this is very disheartening.

I hope you can right the ship soon my friend. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask.

Blaze, I'm a little high, it is my birthday, and I know the feeling and hope this small message may find you another friend who you believe can validate what you feel. The feeling where you can not interact with another member of your species is not un-narutal, nor should you view it as a negative quality or as a reflection of who you are as a person. You are mature enough to understand and recognize your feelings and how they effect those around you, and that is a very good thing. I was angry as a young child, as a teenager, and even as a now 22 year old man, I have my moments. But I began to not care, I understood I could only control myself and my enviroment, so why try to play God? Why do I want to play pattycake with no hands? It's not possible, no matter how much we wish it was. We are made of flesh and skin and that is all we were given, it has been up to us to paint on the canvas we call our souls. We have a beginning, we have an end, and the middle is whatever the fuck we we want it to be. Will and a lack of hesitation can make any change you want in your life possible with the right willpower and determination.

But moreso, wanting to be alone, is fine. Everyone does it, and it's something that's valuable. I'd go nuts if I didn't take my "self-meeting" before I go to work, where I stand on my porch for half an' hour just too breathe, smoke a cigarette, and prepare for the day. The world is big, it's scary, and it's noisy. You're fucking smart dude, I wish more people, myself included, knew when I wasn't in the right mindset before opening their mouth.

The struggle is real, it sucks, but man you've got a small match lit in a small room while the rest of us are bumping into each other in the dark. The struggle makes you appreciate the good though, it makes you humble and appreciative of the small things.

You'll see people say it, I dunno you too much, I'm still trying to get into the loop of being more of a regular here, but I invite you to message me if you ever want to talk, shoot the shit, but I'd like that someday whenever you get back on the social saddle.

Till then enjoy some hobbies and live a lil', remind yourself you're you and that you're fuckin' awesome!

I've gotten confirmation through police reports and the county jail roster.

It was a murder suicide attempt. The murder was successful, the suicide was not. Boyfriend/Girlfriend. I knew the both of them. They were coworkers and I considered them friends. One of my other coworkers is taking it much worse since he lived with them.

He's being charged with 2nd Degree murder and Assisted Suicide.

It's a really dark day not just for me, or my store, but the whole town. I feel worse for her kids who now don't have a mother, and are stuck with an abusive father.

I hate life and how cruel it is.

Well, the hits keep on coming for me lately.

My brother's girlfriend has been undergoing chemotherapy as a result of a tumor they found on her. Last night she suffered a reaction, possibly from the medication she's been taking. Had to be flown to Abbott Northwestern Hospital; she's still unconscious and my brother and mom have been there all day. Just terrible news all around and I'm just worried about her. She's a wonderful friend and this whole experience, I can't imagine what my brother is going through.

Unfortunately I’m dealing with my own concern for a family member. My godfather is very poor but has made enough money off his pension to afford the essentials in life. They recently cancelled his pension because he didn’t take the initiative to submit a form in time proving he’s still alive. Now he’s basically almost out of money and is very stubborn in letting me and my dad help him. It angers the shit out of me that he’s practically given up when he has people who want to help him but I just don’t know what else to do.

One of my cats have been missing for a couple day or so now. Last I remember seeing them is like Monday, but didn’t really notice them missing til Wednesday. He’s not one to go outside, and isn’t one to hide. So I’m just freaking out, really upset. I’ve looked high and low around the whole damn house and I can’t find him. I don’t know what to do. ;/

First off, I will say I am glad a thread like this exists. Second, I will say that I have been diagnosed with serve GAD, SAD, OCD, and Major Depression as well as being Agoraphobic, Enochlophobic, and Anthropophobic. All of which I am currently getting help for after deciding that I want to get better not only for myself, but for my nieces because I have missed several important events in their lives and hit me hard. On top of that I am a recovering hikikomori, or shut in for those that don't speak Japanese, and that has been challenge in itself. I essentially never left my parent's house and if I did it was only to go to store down the road and back in less than 20 minutes. Don't worry though, I wasn't a shut in who was gross and never bathed, quite the opposite as keeping and being clean was and is a major thing of my OCD.
