What else are you suppose to do?
Ask for help. Be vulnerable with the boys.
You kidding?
(Looks at them)
That empty spot is where those two would be, if they didn't have to do 55 hours/wk at work and care for their families the rest of the time.
He got depressed and vanished a year ago. No one knows where he went. He didn't leave any contact info.
He's literally too stupid to breathe. We keep him around for the laughs but no one is going to tell him anything.
And he's literally dead.
Lol, no. We'll all just suffer quietly thanks.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
The time is gone, the song is over. Though I'd something more to say.
Breathe, breathe in the air........don't be afraid to caaarreeee
Cool, cool, cool...
Are there any other options tho?
I will just say, having gone through a real rough year, it's not always black and white. I be vulnerable with the boys and ask for help, but I need time to process first, and to do it in the way I want and the time I want.
In the meantime, I am often sending memes for that small comfort of friendship while I process.
If only that worked for me. I've been in a depressing place for 5 years, and I both opened up to my homies and brother... Crickets.
My wife keeps me sane and grounded.
I feel that, man. I’ve tried being open with friends and it just didn’t seem like it mattered much to them. I don’t have many close friends, almost none to be honest. But I have my wife and no matter what I always know she’s there for me, unfailingly.
Yes. That's the healthy option. ...Not gonna do it.
The boys can't do anything. They're broke and hopeless too.
Sometimes just talking things out is meaningful on its own.
I'll just post 'mood' worthy memes untill the problem is normalized to me long enough to stop making me feel things about it.
what boys? This ignores the original point. There isnt some big group of friends just waiting for a cry for help... The point is they arent receptive to it and it causes them to withdraw. A dude feeling suicidal? Literally no wants to hear it. Theyll just feel uncomfortable and avoid you.
Sounds like you need new boys. If you tell your friends you’re feeling that low and they withdraw from you because it makes them feel icky, they aren’t your friends. They’re self centered pricks who aren’t worth investing your time or feeling into.
Gee thanks, that's super helpful.
On second thought, my recommendation is therapy
K.
This you?
It seems you should heed your own advice
I am in therapy? This isn’t the burn you thought it was. You can talk to your friends and a professional counselor. What a weird reply.
It wasnt intended as a burn. "Physician, heal thyself."
The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma...
Wallow in self pity?
I'm good with sending memes.
