This has literally been my entire life since before 2nd grade. Yay for medication and therapy.
I have been all of these things at some point in the last 15 years.
Sending out love to all my brothers. Hang in there, things will get better. Even if they get waaaaaaay worse beforehand, which usually happens when you expect it the least.
Just try to stay strong, keep on going and don't you dare go hollow.
6/6. Nice knowing there's a men's day, no a whole month lol.
It is a whole month. The bottom of the image says month. It's celebrated June/this month.
If anyone needs to talk about their problem 1v1, just send me a DM. I'd be happy to talk to you. I'm white, male, and in my 30s if that makes a difference.
This is the way. Supportive, contributing to community and generally helpful. β€οΈ
One of the best things I did to change my life for the better was to stop caring about what other's think. You can basically laugh off any criticism and the people who will seriously be mean to you about something are not people to keep in your life.
When I go to a bar, I do not need to order a bitter IPA, I'll get whatever sweet cocktail I want. If someone calls me out for it not being manly, I just tell them the manliest thing is doing whatever the hell you want. I've never had someone say something to me like that and be serious about it, but whenever a hear that joke, my response always shuts them up.
Just do whatever you want and stop worrying about others. If people reject you, then get new people.
Im all these things except the therapy one
Dude here. The therapy one can really help, especially when you find the therapist who's right for you. It doesn't fix everything of course but it can set you down a road where your situation starts improving. It took me a long long time to try it but I'm so glad I've got one now.
You should do the therapy one. It is kind of fun once you realize that you can basically just say whatever the hell you want and won't be judged or interact with the person socially. You also can be assured that it is kept secret (with a few serious exceptions) by law.
It is kind of freeing to just open up about the hardest things to talk about with anyone else.
I'm in a pretty good place mentally, but I still check in with my psych every couple months. Usually just to vent about stuff that I do not want to discuss with people I interact with socially.
Go for it. Not gonna lie to you. It's scary and it's hard but, even if you don't deal with all the shit, just having someone to talk to who can give actually useful advice helps a lot.
2 out of 6 ain't bad
Have you been banned from blahaj lemmy yet?
Why'd he get banned ? i got curious
mods there have historically gone overboard with bans. One person said "dude is a gender neutral word" in a completely different instance and blahaj mods banned them cuz "transphobic" lmfao
Check out the whole track record on [email protected]
they even had to block this topic because of how frequent it is.
So it's not out of the question they see this and think one is appropriating pride month
They didn't say "dude is a gender neutral word" they said "anyone who doesn't think dude is a gender neutral word needs to get over it".
Dude is gender neutral in the same way that chicos is gender neutral.
I just read through that, I can definitely see them banning OP and labeling all of this as transphobia/gatekeeping. I added the instance to my block list, not wanting to play random purity tests with bad faith mods
Haven't checked it yet and tbh don't even want to cuz if you would've seen the kind of comments on the same thing i posted on lemmyshitpost(i know, i'm still new to lemmy) even you wouldn't dare to post stuff like that again
And god the number of people that were just offended just by my usernameπ€¦
