[WhatsGoodTy]

I keep forgetting about this thread, they got a thread on dealing with (mostly shytty) women pinned but not one for mental health

shyt crazy. Mental health especially within our community gets no look.

I’ve been seeing a therapist through the VA for a few months now. It’s help me gather my thoughts and also get my anger out. I’m trying to build a better relationship with my family and support system. Not feel so ashamed to ask for help or advice. I still set goals I want to achieve. I’m prideful and I know I’ll accomplish those things. Sometimes I wish I had the backing to tell me I’m doing the right things in life.

Life’s a trip we all go through ups and downs. Sometimes I can’t see myself out this funk that I’m in. I know I’m going to get through it just hoping to see the light soon.

Glad you're doing better

feel like life keeps getting worse lately no matter what I do man

lowkey feel like letting go and getting fat again or sum

It does get that way sometime, but it does get better
You need to find pillars of support, i know its made like black men are supposed to ride alone, but leaning on someone in hard times really does alleviate alot of the stress we have
Also try to find what makes you happy be it the gym, video games etc and take it one day at a time

everyone busy and got kids or girlfriends, so you have to look out for yourself


everyone got something they going thru and "no one owes you anything" is the mentality I've been always told by black folks. so imma stick to it

I’ve been dealing with intrusive thoughts lately and old memories where I look back and just become disappointed with myself

Couldnt decide if i should post this in the weed thread or here but once again, im feeling moody again. My mind is on overdrive which is making me feel worse.

Ive been using weed to basically help myself feel stable. Having a hard time letting out my feeling and emotionally, i feel horrible. Yet i cant seem to express this deep hurt. Im always at war with myself. For example, i want to draw and have been wanting to do so far a minute but i have no drive and no motivation. Literally have to force myself just to get up and do something. At times the weight is too much that i have to go to sleep. Its exhausting.

I think a lot of people just lurk and don't contribute, like myself

Even anonymously and online, a lot of us still struggle with discussing mental health

Aww man management must have had cuts in yalls dept. Sorry to hear that. Just keep applying for jobs and yes consider changing careers especially if u have a business degree because that's very broad. Ima contract specialist and I still have to take my 3 hour 150 question test because they changed the certification program on us and I got caught in the middle of it. I plan to take it early September so I hope I pass so I can make my next grade.

Don't focus too much on ur friends being married and having kids because we all go thru different paths and have different times to for reaching milestones and accomplishments.

But marriage and kids may be in the plans for u...but get u a stable job first.

I hope the best for u bruh!

This also doesn't guarantee happiness either.

Marriage, kids, pets, vacations, etc are often used as coping mechanisms for people to mask their despair.

I agree...but spouse and kids gives u a reason to live and a purpose

And it's good to have family around during holidays.

My Dallas Cowboys sometimes make me disappointed on Thanksgiving....hate to have other reasons disappoint me
