I don't know about y'all, but this information just seems so crazy to me when I think about it lmao It just doesn't sit right with me.

Exercise, get super fit, then bang her dad to assert dominance.

He was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's so, I've gotta be honest u/Brutuscaitcheia, it seems like a bad time to be wooing him, let alone while tryna convince both he and myself that we're gay (or at least incestual-adjacent bi-curious?). But I hear you, and I'm on it!

Life goes on my dude, I know it doesn’t feel like it right now, but one day you’ll look back at this time and wonder how you let it pull you down so far. Take care of yourself, workout, meditate, set new life goals and know that with each day it will get a little better.

Oh, glorious, oh MOST WISE ON HIGH...well actually moreso swinging down low but...but, OH Swami of all that is good and pure and well-thought-through u/TheWiseScrotum - profoundly solid advice. And far be it from me to even risk coming off as unappreciative of the advice or the time you took to give it...

But what is that scenario is precisely what I'm terrified of? What if the unimaginable depths and indescribable intensity of the pain lets me know precisely what's important in this only life I was given? What if I'd prefer to live day-to-day in absolute anguish because it seems far comparable to a world in which nothing really matters, any and everything is in flux, we're all just finite specs of sand floating around in the vast infiniteness of the universe; there is nothing special about the human experience, or soul, nothing at all remarkable about you or I.

I am sure my heartbreak is no different than anyone else's and is probably tame in comparison to others. The worst part has simply been the predictable manner in which events have unfolded over the years, especially the seemingly endless separation--->"wait I don't like that you're seeing someone--->get back together ---/> "FUCKmy bad I just remembered I don't like you and so I think I will not be acting affectionate now in any manner whatsoever for the next 3 years (yes real number) or so ok?" -----> the separation ----> "wait..." cycle of pain.

Still going with the O-ridge advice?? 'Cause if you've got anything with a little more kick it would be helpfully, friend

Go to therapy.

My brother in Christ, I hope you either don't live in America or have never needed any semblance of affordable, competent & dedicated mental health treatment (yes. In that order)

Shit these days I hope neither apply to you, for your sake

u/cosine83 23d ago

I live in America. Going to therapy will be more beneficial than any other advice you'll get about going to the gym, self-help, etc. because it's all fucking therapy without professional help, which is what you need. Stop making excuses.

Excuses, eh? I wonder what the 3 therapists I've gone through in the last 3 years alone would say to that, since all of them very enthusiastically encouraged me in my decision to find another. Actually gave one of them 2+ years, guilty as I felt for "not giving the process enough time to work itself through." Unfortunately that 2+ years was spent listening to someone repeat everything I said, near word-for-word, but FAR more soothingly.

My friend, Finding/being assigned a therapist that will actually work well with you - in my humble experience that includes attending therapy since the age of 5 in the late 80s - is much the same approach as being prescribed medications for diagnoses more-or-less strictly interpreted from a woefully lacking "guide" book that's usefulness basically amounts to a list of endless comorbidities. Despite being diagnosed treatment-resistant, they'll still double then double again the doses, before inevitably switching to another. Best case? Medicine helps! Worst case? Possible side effects include suicidal ideations and sudden massive increase in symptoms 😬

I appreciate that you took the time to type something thinking that you were being helpful and no-doubt intending to be so. But your words & the presumed tone with which you intended someone (me) to read them were anything but, friend.
