dropping the internetspeak for a sec, im not from this part of Jow Forums (barely "from" Jow Forums honestly) but this is genuinely concerning that so many people here are legitimately suffering. i havent been on r9k in about a thousand years and it's really shocking to come back and see all this.
have you guys been able to contact outside help, resources, therapy etc.? take me at face value for a sec here, legitimate concern from a human being. im happy to post resources if needed if anyone isnt sure where to start.
You degenerate gave him both. Way to spread the cancer, faggot.

suicidepreventionlifeline.org and for US residents 1800SUICIDE are pretty basic to start with but can be used seriously if you're in a crisis. ive used said services myself a long time ago when things were looking bleak, it's a port in the storm to get some clarity when you're getting sucked into a mental k-hole
Tyler Nelson
it's the sound a chicken makes
Evan Perez
humor me for a minute here guys. im just some dude with a day off who clicked away from porn for a sec and found all this, like try and get where im coming from here with like the legitimate alarm
Josiah Myers
would it be crazy of me to bump this thread? i think it would i think it'd be absolutely nutty to tell you the truth well now i've gotta do it
Hunter Hughes
Be my friend and talk to me. Discord or kik?
Angel Brooks
i dont got those unfortunately, i can work on getting a kik together. but keep in mind im just some guy, not a therapist.
im around for a couple more hours here and am willing to lend an ear and keep sharing resources as i dig them up.

We're all okay OP, we all just want the sweet release of death. Stop worrying about us and start worrying about things that matter.
for US based users, this is a list some dude has been compiling of affordable therapy options on a state by state basis. openpathcollective.org is also a resource to help track down therapists for people who are low income or dont have insurance
Xavier Lopez
i was in a similar place a while ago. the way i saw it, if things were so bleak, then i didnt have anything to lose by at least giving things a shot. i guess thats why seeing this whole board like this got me fucked up enough to want to post; it's SO familiar
Julian Flores
You're a good man though OP. We need more people in the world like you. Too many assholes aroundm God bless you man
Joshua Bell
talkspace.com is also an option for people who have a hard time with the phone for whatever reason and would prefer to speak via text message. similarly breakthrough.org is for videochat options for people who dont do too good with leaving the house
Henry Jones
there are also the options of walkin urgent care healthcare clinics (the ones for broken bones and colds and that kinda shit) that if you explain to them the situation may be able to give you referrals to mental health specialists, depending on if your insurance is HMO or PPO. for HMO insurances, i know that some walkin clinics will be able to get the appointment set up for you so you dont even need to do the legwork of calling the shrink, getting the appointment set up, clearing yr schedule etc.
Luis Bell
got that backwards sorry, it's PPO insurances that allow you to have referrals made to specialists. HMO insurances, i know that some places can at least give you lists of mental health specialists that take the insurance you have and get you pointed in the right direction
Ethan Anderson
im running through my list of resources here but i figured food-related shit could apply too. myfridgefood.com is choice for if your grocery situation is fuckin BLEAK, helps you cobble something together so youre not stuck eating like spoonful of peanut butter k-hole meals (been there)
Camden Rodriguez
thero.org is another search engine for mental health specialists state by state.
moodgym.com.au is a site about the basics of CBT (lol), cognitive behavioral therapy which is what a lot of shrinks do in-office. good shit to familiarize yourself with and decent habits to start to get into if yr not able to get appointments set up right away
Luis Flores
Hello normalfag. Most of this shit is just LARPing. Dont be a fag.
