It's interesting that my mental health or lack thereof has defined my adulthood so far. But I can never talk to my parents about it because they're utterly devoid of emotional support. It really makes me wonder the sort of person I would be if I had average parents.
What do you mean devoid of emotional support

How’s everyone holding up

I'm doing better...

Moved into my own spot a couple months ago, so got that going for me.

Getting a little better mentally, went to hypnotherapy before the whole covid bullshyt; It helped, but I still have two more sessions I have yet to schedule.

I think honestly now what I need is some females attention. Not that I think that'll solve my problems, but it could REALLY help me mentally. I've literally been single for YEARS, without as much as a fling. It's gotten to the point that I'm tired of porn AND fapping, so the only thing left is for me to start dating. My only real problem right now is that I haven't been interacting with many females lately due to my job (even before the quarantine)....

Trying to remain some kind of positive, hopefully the universe sends something my way very soon, since I've been doing a better job of sticking to my purpose....

Couldn't go to them for literally anything. Can't even ask them simple yes or no questions about banal shyt because they twist it into questioning me about something or some vague statement. And you can forget about any comfort during times of distress. So it feels like you're all alone even when you live with your family.
To be honest, as men no one gives a shyt about our problems even our own family.
It’s seems like your parents are old school, so I wouldn’t take it to heart.
Have you been up front and honest with them about how you feel

Are you picky about what type of women you’re going after

Reminds me of my childhood. Couldn't communicate to my parents for shyt. Mother was controlling, DUMB, stepfather was just....idk, a fukking nimrod. Anything that happened to me I had to suck up by myself. Telling them would only make shyt 10x worse...

Not at all. Basically anything that can get the juices running. Color don't matter, walk of life don't matter (unless you're a furry or some other weirdo/undesirable)...My spectrum when it comes to female preferences is wide but precise, if that makes sense....

I used to be accused of being super picky, when simply I don't believe in wasting time on someone I'm not even sexually attracted to in any way....

I've become a weed head :yeshrug:



With that said, I'm doing okay but not alright if you get what I'm saying. Trying to numb a lot of feelings, thoughts, stress and I'm slowly breaking so the weed basically takes that shyt away for moments at a time. Otherwise I'm fired up. That's the environment I'm around anyway so its really no choice.

This pandemic made me realize how much of a high strung guy I really am. It's bad. Very bad. I literally use weed to calm me down and even that is too an extent because if someone or something excites me, it's like I'll react and go off. I used to chill a bit. I've also become more and more of a loner/introverted and have been taking long hikes in the woods. So much that I've been losing some weight hiking and shyt. That has helped to an extent but I wont lie... I most def need to get my life in order and make some things happen so this pandemic has gave me an excuse to basically be more alone which is nothing new or bothersome to me. I just wish I had more downtime and more places were open as well as this pandemic was gone. Probably would have tried gliding or skydiving. Otherwise I go to the woods to basically be away from other people and listen to thoughtcrimez or what I want to do but cant in the woods, listen to the chill hop station on Sirius xm. I love the woods and nature. Might camp at some point.

And today or I think June 23rd would be 7 years since I stopped taking zoloft. Been self observing to see if the side effects are still there after all these years. Only took those pills for 6 months and those joints are NO JOKE. Do not take those pills unless you need to. can see how those pills drive people crazy.

I think I need to try the therapist again but I need one that specializes in cbt, is LGBTQ friendly, and is the right fit though. Actually thinking about getting medical marijuana card.

Where do you stay ? If you stay in the city you could easily pull something

Sure, but they totally lack self-awareness not just about their own narcissism but how they interact with people or their expectation that everyone else lives by the same set of rules as them. I'm not even angry anymore it's more like an eyeroll because I can see the cycle or the behavior and stop myself before I waste my time.

Though getting a therapist would probably be healthy.
I hate saying this, but sometimes you have to cut off your own parents until you get your mind right. No use of keeping toxic people in your life.

I tried Zoloft, it didn’t work for me
