Two dysfunctional men do not need to be roommates

 

[Scott Larock]

I’m probably gonna be a old trick, I’m still very bitter and angry about the way was raised, hate my dad even though I shouldn’t.

I’m getting it together at a old age but at least I’m trying, i have a hard time focusing cuz all i think about is all the people who shytted on me.

I need new medication to keep me happy and focused on what needs to get don’t. I literally hate almost everything and I’m single so when i meet someone I’m probably gonna be angry and bitter as shyt towards her.

Probably best to stay away from black people heavy until i come up cuz I’m pretty angry about a lot of stuff. A non black woman is probably the only way i can date without feeling that i lose to her and i didn’t have shyt. Don’t think i can be the mature minded old man she needs especially with her having kids, i hope everything turns out well and i get my mind back at ease without hating everything and everyone based on how is as raised.

I think the location also didn’t help, south Florida ain’t for years and years of broke nikkas, i should have moved to the country years ago and blend in with the other broke nikkas.

I’m getting it together now but I’m old and bitter as fukk so I don’t know what’s gonna happen and who i can respect without feeling hatred towards them smh.

anxiety sucks

 

[Rawtid]

I'm honestly at the lowest point of my life right now.

It's temporary.

 

[Rawtid]

Are their any posters here that struggle with ADHD, I mean seriously this shyt is a headache and a half, setting goals and accomplishing them seems next to impossible and thinking things through in order to reach a sensible solution is an uphill battle. Once you add depression and anxiety into the mix it becomes a recipe for disaster

I've learned to break things down into small and reasonable steps. Like if I wanted to read more, I'll set a timer to read a certain number of minutes per day until I finish the book I want to read. When I was in school, I would put all my assignments onto a calendar and figure out how much time I would need to spend each day to get it done. I have to be very calculated, which gets boring, but I find it works better overall it. It's a process! Just have to take it one day at a time and work around what you can.

I’m on vyvanse right now and I can’t seem to do this to save my life even though I know I would be a hell of a lot more productive if I did. I think I get lost in the variables as far as what’s more important? Can I put this off to the side? Etc and then I get more and more confused to the point where I don’t know where to start so I just say fukk it and move on to something else out of frustration, but you’re right it is a process and I gotta accept that, that’s another part too I gotta work on having patience to see things through

I feel you, everytime I want to make positive changes all I can think about are the people who screwed me over but you have to work on letting that anger go, otherwise you'll never heal.

I read "The Alchemist", "The Art of War", and a few buddhist/taoism type books. One I liked is "letting go of the person you used to be".

Also I know folks hate him on here but Curtis Sc00n had a lot of dope tweets a few years ago about changing your life & other life perspective kinda things from the lens of a black man. I really liked some of those tweets & saved those.

Overall I have a collection of positive quotes/tweets from many sources that I have saved and would read a few every day to reinforce positive thinking. You can't just rewire your mind instantly. It's an exercise just like lifting weights but over time you'll notice the changes in how you feel & look at life.

Also learn to step outside of your comfort zone...it'll help you grow.

Being bitter and angry only grows with age

You're right. You have to forgive your enemies just to preserve your mental health.

 

[NerdNash]

I'm honestly at the lowest point of my life right now.

Been there. It sucks. I thought I’d never make it out that stage. I did tho. Just time beloved. Time heals all. Get active. Start reading. Working out did wonders for me.

What are you stressed about?

 

[TransJenner]

I had to forgive family members for horrible shyt but I can definitely tell you , forgiving is very powerful and makes you feel good

I held a lot against my ex (bm) because she basically shytted on me as a man when I held her down by keeping my daughter when she went 2 hrs away to finish her degree like 5 years ago. Then she tried stunting on me & downing where I was after the fact smh. I used it more as motivation to prove her wrong because she was too short sighted and didn't see the sacrifices I made at the time looking at the bigger picture. Long story short, I just graduated and only a state board away from being a RN (I'm a LPN now). She's all on my dikk talking that "family" shyt now and I'm just like



The best feeling was proving her wrong because she somehow didn't see that I was putting my daughter & her first before I was gonna go back to do my school thing. Now she see that I had a plan all along and did everything I said I was gonna do 4-5 years ago


I am thankful that I didn't let it get the best of me because knowing what I know now, I know I was super depressed 4 years ago. At the same time that's when I started reading a lot of positive shyt so it kinda helped me cope with it
