Just speaking on how I feel about SW atm

I wish I never came back. I feel mostly ignored here. We shouldn’t have to hide and I do appreciate the people that will speak up with kindness and without judgement or agenda. It’s a good place to dabble, then apply what you learn about yourself and collect perspective to grow your mind.

I think you’re great. I want you to think you’re great though and I support whatever you choose to do. It’s just nice to know you’re out there. I would always have an ear for you, and I shut most people out 😆 but you’re real af and you have so much charisma with your expressions you help others by simply being honest and open.

Hang in there. Love your self. Be excited again about you. You matter. Who gives a fuck what anyone else thinks if they aren’t part of your heart circle. And this is a social media platform. Don’t take it that seriously LIFE is better. Do something you enjoy get a hobby. Get some head. Get some 🐱 🤷🏿‍♂️ STRESS KILLS and AGES YOU FASTER.

@Ontheroad gave a great comment. It helps soooooooo much just to have someone to talk to not necessarily to tell you what to do. Sometimes it helps heaps just to have someone say " Fuck Brother... That shit is ruff...". LOL True shit.

I have been in therapy for a while now and also did a stretch in anger management which is just a fancy type of counseling. Mine was a group thing.
The cool part about that is you are in a room with 15 other dudes that are all having damn near the same troubles.
You don't just talk about punching and kicking jackasses who fucked around and found out. You talk about your life.
Good shit ... you want to share with the guys.
Bad shit .... you want to share with the guys.
Some of the guys are just there and don't offer anything. Some of the guys are supportive but can't help. But there are also the guys who have been exactly where you are probably more than once and they got shit to offer.
That's all SW is man. It's group therapy. Ain't no counselor to step in and give some educated shit but you got the strongest part that group therapy offers. It's folks to listen and maybe give advice.

I have a counselor I see every other week for the past seven years. She is great and very supportive.
Well educated and just is easy to talk to.
Made her cry once.
Laugh a lot.
Talk my fool head off.
Get lot's of validation from her about the things that I did and am doing right. That Validation is gold brother.
But I miss anger management. The group setting. The fuck ups like me. They understood me.
They were great to have in your corner. They didn't come home with me and help do dishes or anything but once a week for a year and a half I had them to talk to.

That's all SW is. Group therapy. Someplace to say it and help hear it yourself and that helps process what you are going through.
Some folks are just here. Some folks can sympathize with you and maybe some have been exactly where you are more than once and have a little something to offer.

I fuck around on here all the time. Mostly just joking around and shit but once in a while I do have something that is eating at me and even tho I have a counselor it is nice to get the average persons view. Tell it to the group.
That's how I met you. On here talking about something that was bugging the hell out of me.
I got great answers and found some more people to screw around with.

Keep it up Chief.
You making head way.
And don't forget what we talked about.

Write. Write. Write.

I've been listening (reading) to you and what I hear is a guy trying to work through the problems he faces... it's a good thing to do. Sometimes we need to talk, just talk. I know sometimes I need to hear (read) what I'm thinking and feeling and there is no better way than to let it out on paper (or on SW). Somehow it gives us perspective and it never hurts to know there are those who are listening and not judging.

Keep it up, let it all hang out, so to speak. You are going to sort it out and on the other side, you'll be the you that you want to be.

An added thought. We never get to the perfect us we envision and maybe that's a good thing. We can't however, give up. Each step forward makes us a better person. Hang in there.

It's a weird place for sure. I like you man fr, you're cool and you're positive regardless, or at least you're nice to peeps. You're on my good vibes radar anyway.

Learning how to be at peace with yourself is a journey that's different for every person. I practice self care in my own way but there's still things I dunno how to approach in myself. I think talking creates the dialogue inside us and sometimes that conversation can last years before it concludes.

Keep talking man, some days suck, some are okay. I had a couple recently where things are great but I just felt sad for no reason. It happens sometimes, but we forget about those times when we're in a happy place later and it makes the journey all worth it.

I love your voice 😊
But seriously I do hope you stick around ...there are peeps here that care about you. And it's definitely cathartic getting your thoughts out. Hugs

Yourself is a person who feels the entire spectrum. This current version of you is just as valid as any other. Don’t hate it. Love it.

It's good you can vent and open up ☺️

I'm glad you came back ...You're such a lovely and genuine person . Our hard times make us stronger ...we come back better and more resilient... you don't have to hide your sadness...trying is all anyone you can do . You don't have to post or say anything...just feel your feelings until you work it out ...all the best to you ..

I appreciate your transparency here. It sounds like SW has helped you get in touch with yourself alot more. Being able to be so open here helps you alot. It helps many others too! Weather you realise it or not you are helping others just being on here and sharing yourself with us. Nothing but respect and appreciation from me. :)

It’s nice that you can open up

I am glad you can come here and say what’s on your mind. That’s really important because you need to get it out.

I don’t know what happened and it’s not my business but I am not against her because you aren’t together anymore. I think most of us feel the same way. Things just don’t work out and that sucks but I am not for or against anyone.

I am for you feeling better though and being happier once you get through this.

You do have a nice voice and it’s really good to hear it 💖.

I love your voice💙

I feel like all social media can be like that.
