Bro, please don't even joke about suicide. Suicide is not cool and hurts a lot more people than just the victim.
I'm not trying to jump all over you. I know you didn't mean any harm but suicide is one thing I don't take lightly.
no worries..jnev was trying to break my negative "state". one of my best bros on or off this board. i knew he was kidding.
it helped.
I had a bad dream last night about my(our) dog..the one my ex basically intentionally deceived me so she could keep him while she ran off with this other guy.
kills me everytime i think about him. he was like my son..
Then my mind starts going off on a tangent and i get into this mode when i remember(literally) the entire moment i found out the whole elaborate deception and that i was just being used and how my self worth, business, and dog were all gone in the blink of an eye. My body literally puts me back into specific moment and i get this terrible anxiety. It got so bad today i had to leave the office at lunchtime...i was ready to lose it and break down.
it sounds crazy, but i feel like its some type of post traumatic stress.
i get these thoughts and images on a daily basis..and just have accepted them to be. Something reminds me of it and i get into a horrible emotional state until i snap out of it. And then i just keep going on with life...I can't control these thoughts either.
externally things in my life have gotten much better....and i've worked so fuckin hard to restablish life to where i was and where i want to be.
yet i'm still not happy and its scaring me. I can't get close to anybody because of the emotional wall i put up and i haven't had a meaningful encounter with a female in awhile. I should have everything going for me in that department, but i don't allow myself to subconciously.
casual/very superficial dates, self sabotage, meaningless sex have been the extent...In fact, i've only told 1 girl i've dated or known about what happened to me.
I just pushed through thinking this was normal and the more time passed the better i'd get. but i don't know i feel that way anymore. I meet alot of cool people (both guys and girls) and i never let anyone get too close, especially women, because i feel like i'll be completely vulnerable again. my friends i have been kinda treating like shit....and i dont know why
i think i need to get a cat...might help with these lonely spells
SWV out (sorry for the mememewaaabulance. I don't think or talk about this stuff anymore with anybody. I just go about my day and deal with it...i feel like its a burden to talk about the same thing over and over again with my friends...so i just pretend to be over it)
