I am finding it difficult to leave the house. I thought I was over this part of anxiety. But I was deluded. It was only suppressed by a busy lifestyle. I'm not agoraphobic there's nothing I fear about leaving the house I just... can't. Crazy what going 2 months without work or leaving the house can do to your mental health.

Dang never seen this thread before.

I left the US in November. I’ve been chilling in Istanbul working my remote job. I’ve never felt more normal more alive. I was brewing in toxicity when I was in the US.

Your environment makes a massive difference. Find your oasis.

My mental health deteriorating recently has a lot to do with an altercation I had with a chick I was seeing before everything locked down. She was wildin, hittin and yelling at me and shyt so I retaliated. I grabbed her by the throat and basically told her to leave me the fukk alone. I apologized profusely, she called the cops on me 2 days later. It reached our friend group and I was publicly shamed. My former band, a band that I founded mind you ,ousted me by making a 'per-formatively woke' statement online. They made it seem as If I did something worse, like I had raped her or something. Fast forward two months later and I'm still replaying that night in my head, crying at random moments of the day because of the guilt. I basically loved her, we didn't have any problems other than that night. My band kicking me out, guys I've known for years basically threw me to the wolves. It felt like I lost everything, I've been struggling to fill that void since. Add on to the fact that we can't play ball because they boarded up the goals. That was my main workout before quarantine, 4 on 4, 5 on 5. I've been struggling tryna keep the weight off :unimpressed:

I took the garbage out today. I feel somewhat better getting out there. I think I'll start waking up early so I can go on walks before anyone else is awake. Still, it concerns me that I saw a lot of people out and about.

Bro I’ve been there before. I physically threw a bytch out my house because she ruining my fukking life. I was a wreck for a while, even tho my friends didn’t immediately disowned me (no one liked the bytch anyways).

My advice is to seek therapy. Find someone to talk to and bounce your thoughts off of. You’re going to need time to get over this, it took me about a year. I can’t promise you will get your friends back, I can’t promise that anyone will necessarily care about your feelings (that’s just how it is for men, especially regarding altercations with women), but I can promise you that life does go on. You just gotta have faith breh. Good luck.

I'm black, half my band was black. Black Surfer, on all streaming platforms and everything. The other two black members don't really run in Black circles tho admittedly and felt the pressure from cac feminists which comprised most of our fanbase at the time.

I go through periods of this too lately, I’ve left the house to do shyt and end up just turning around and coming home and sitting in my room for awhile. I don’t know why it has to be my room, I live by myself

I try to go for a walk around the lake behind my building at sunrise any day I feel up to it, it helps

I know this is cliche, but everything that happened, needed to happen. Men are always taught not to hit women, but women need to be taught to keep their fukking hands off people as well. Yes, the reaction on your part was awful, but I get it and don't fault you for it. You need a more mature woman in your life. As far as your "friends" go, fukk them! And especially if they didn't ask for your side of the story, follow up on your well-being, or offer suggestions that could help you in the future. If one incident is enough to cancel you, I say you're better off. You started one band, you can start another. Don't let this eat you up!

These two chicks at work were complaining how bored they were and needed more coffee to wake up so I gave em some Wellbutrin now they dancing all over the place. Ain’t nothing funnier than two high white girls dancing at work.

I didn’t even think this shyt is strong though. That’s really odd. It doesn’t affect me like that.

Tired of how fukking careless people are...

It's a mentality that comes from cacs and it's infected alot of us.

When folks can prevent other people from dying but refuse because "iM nOt a p*ssy"

shyt just makes me so upset and hopeless.

Legit.

Ever since I was a kid, I would think about things like "why does racism exist?", "why do people kill, steal, etc?", "why can't people be respectful to others?". Hell, I can barely watch the news because if I'm having a bad day something like a murder will f**k me up - for instance, the black woman who was killed by the cops recently in her own home ruined my entire day. Idk why, though...I had no attachment to her whatsoever. But yes, it makes everything seem so hopeless.

On the upside, I've taught myself to focus on me and to tune everything out. May sound selfish but oh well.

Have an MRI scheduled next month, went for a CT scan this morning around 3 and it came back clear. Hooked up to an IV with 4 different bags of fluid, one after the other to relieve my migraine.

I'm still seeing things that aren't there and after all of the help from the ER, the migraine returned. I need this to be over. No relief in sleep either as it only brings dizzy spells.
