Suicide is the second leading cause of death for men under 45. Every day 105 men end their own lives intentionally. This is an epidemic we can only beat by being there for one another.
You don’t have to carry your burdens alone. Get it off your chest.
You are not alone.

I can’t balance my physical health collapsing alongside my mental health. I can’t talk to anyone about either and I end up doing drugs and zoning out instead of making appointments like I should.
Part of me doesn’t want to know what’s wrong, part of me just needs a fucking answer.
I need help.

I’m just…at my limits as a person, and I will never be able to grow beyond them; I loathe how pathetically small, scared and broken I am, and worse, that there is no drive or ability to change that because of how small, scared and broken I am. The only reason I’m not more of an anchor in the lives of the people around me is because between the natural distancing of age and my own efforts at self-isolating, I’m barely in their lives to begin with, and it would be better to not be in them at all.
I’ve spent so much time in the hell of my head convinced that the best thing I could give the people I love is my absence; I have had an hours-long fit including breaking down sobbing at work a little earlier because I adamantly believe that I should break up with my girlfriend, who I adore and has done nothing to deserve this, because she deserves better than to have to deal with my crazy, useless burnt-out loser ass, and she definitely deserves better than to have a partner who has no future and is constantly deciding if this is the paycheck where he buys a gun and ends it all. She deserves better than someone who’s already dead and has been for years – all of my loved ones do. She’s the best thing that ever happened to me, and I can’t help but regret being alive for it to happen in the first place when I should have been gone years and years ago, because there’s no happy ending here. It’s just damage mitigation at this point.
I’m just so goddamn sorry, in every sense of the word.
I feel like being a good man is more difficult than ever in our fucked up society and that online especially I’m being pulled into two different and harmful directions
