Let's get this thread to a million pages!

We all have made mistakes in the past, so the important thing is to have a heart of forgiveness and allow yourself to grow past that. Otherwise, it'll just lead to stress and anxiety, which then leads to suicide eventually, if not treated properly. At some point, there will be times where you'll piss some people off but who cares? Being mentally strong is a healthy state of mind because it allows you to express yourself more freely without worrying about pissing someone off. On the other hand, I really wish you would have kept in touch with me and at least told me what's going on. I could have provided some sort of assistance.

I have also learned that there are some people who won't like me no matter what. I can't always focus on saying and doing things that make everyone else happy. Sometimes, I have to stick up and look out for myself. It has given me some self-confidence. As for not keeping in touch with you, I shut off contact with pretty much everyone due to my poor mental state. It wasn't meant personally, I appreciate that you would've tried to help.

I understand where you're coming from. Losing a loved one can be devastating because then you start to feel worthless and you may end of letting your emotions get the best of you. Also yes, that cat comparison was insulting and disrespectful. People need to stop treating cats like they're humans. They're just animals. When you're under "extreme mental anguish", then it's best to depart from social media for a while. People will always say things to get underneath your skin.

I was blindsided by it, for sure. He wasn't old or in bad health. I spent every day of my childhood growing up with him. Then all of a sudden, he goes missing. Then months go by without getting any leads on his whereabouts. Then we get a call that they found his remains. We still don't know what exactly happened to him. Honestly, I know I was saying things that would be upsetting to most people. They knew I was dealing with a traumatic situation, and they knew I was extremely depressed. Because I told them what was going on. The streamer didn't seem to care, and only made me feel worse by threatening to ban me from one of her servers if I didn't "fix my attitude". I now realize how little she actually cared about my feelings.

It sounds like you've had some unresolved issues that you were struggling to let go of. A lot of this can be related to stress and anxiety. It's hard to find peace when you've got demons constantly tormenting you everyday. I've heard that things like mediation, massages, herbal teas, vitamins (magnesium, Vitamin D3, Melatonin), and exercise can manage stress levels. That's really all it is is high stress levels, high blood pressure, and anxiety. That's why it's important to have mentally strong people in your life to help you fight through these things.

I have learned through this tragedy that the pain doesn't truly go away, you just find new ways to cope. I have definitely found that a good friend group does wonders. Also, I do drink tea and take my vitamins. Sometimes I'll light a candle or play with my dog to help ease the stress levels. I like relaxing and watching a Kaela Kovalskia stream because it helps me forget about whatever dark thought might enter my brain. But I would say by far, the most helpful thing has been talking to people that care about me (especially my boyfriend).

Listen, you're not a burden on me at all ok? I enjoy having conversations with people because it gives me a chance to get to know them on a deeper and personal level. I may seem like a hard ass, or an ignoramus based on some of my threads in the past, but I'm actually a nice guy irl. Don't ever hesitate to contact me if you have any issues with anything at all. I can give you advice because I've helped someone in the past who went through the same thing as you did. It's not easy at first, but with time and resiliency, you'll be able to let go of any nightmares that you've once had.

You've actually shown me that people don't have to have a lot in common in order to get along well with each other. We don't see eye to eye on a whole host of topics, and yet we are still able to be friends. I've always enjoyed just chatting with people, so perhaps we have that in common. It makes me feel good when someone cares about what I have to say, and I'm always fascinated by other people's thoughts and ideas on things. A lot of the time, I just like listening or reading what other people have to say. I rarely have nightmares nowadays, and have been having more and more pleasant dreams. I haven't been scared to go to sleep anymore.

Another thing that I highly recommend (and you can disagree with me if you want) is to boost your testosterone levels up. Doing so will elevate your mood, energy levels, mentality, and reduce anxiety. I've considered buying testosterone vitamins from THESE guys.

Yeah, this is probably something we won't see eye to eye on, but that's okay! We are all entitled to our own opinions and ideas.
