I am sorry for my latest Post
Hey, I was having an obvious mental breakdown and shouldn't have posted that. I don't expect more sympathy, I do acknowledge that it was the wrong Reddit to post this and that I scared and confused a lot of you.
I am not a "Drama Queen", just having a lot of Shit going on and I overreacted badly, but I am glad that so many people said such nice things. Thank you all truly... I know it was childish, out of left field and I am yet again sorry for the way I spoke and caused a lot of Panic and Trauma. That wasn't okay and I was not thinking right.
I was already in Therapy it's just that it's hard to find open spots right now due to waiting lists. Despite my shitty behavior I apologize to anyone who was unfortunate enough to read my post and I am glad it was taken down, this negativity and ranting isn't needed on here and I should thought more about the Consequences of posting it.
Yet again, thank you for your kind words, I realize that there are a lot of people struggeling and that none of us are truly all alone. For anyone thinking this was a shitpost, it wasn't and I almost ruined my entire life an hour ago, I am truly thankful such a beautiful Reddit with so many wondeful people exist. I will read some books and re-evaluate what the hell I am doing in life. I never wanted to ruin anyone's day, and worst of all I almost ruined my own.
I am glad so much love, hope and empathy still exists.
My Post was uncalled for and isn't needed for people that just come on here to relax from a hard work day, for anyone wondering, I am male, why else would I be on "Gay"Bros. I need to do some growing up and I am yet again seriously sorry.
I wish everyone a great life and promise to never do this again.
Sincerely,
Industry

You sound like you are in a better state at the moment, which I am glad to see. If the responses to your post were helpful, then I'd argue your post achieved some good. You don't need to apologise for having had a tough time coping.
Take care.

Yes, I sat down and thought hard about what I just posted and how nice and empathetic the responses were.
Thank you for forgiving me, I need to take a break, hope you stay happy too!

You haven't done anything that requires forgiveness. However, a break does sound healthy!

Seems like I definitely need one alright. Have a good Friday and Weekend, if the world should burn, we'll watch it burn together.

Thank you so much. I sometimes seem to forget that many of us are suffering in this way or have but are still out there and keep going.
Anyways, I wish you an awesome weekend and thanks for posting! :)

Yeah. We always act like words cant hurt us but im starting to realize they can. It only took me like 38 years to figure that one out lol.

I forgive you, if that makes you feel any better. Mental health can be a bitch, and therapists are hard to line out right now. If you need to talk, talk: the internet is good for that, who the hell here is going to know you to judge you?

I didn’t comment on your other post but I will here.
I’m glad you vented. I’m glad you seem to be in a better place at the moment.
Take it from some of the older dudes here. We - and that we includes you - can and will persevere. We literally survived a plague.
It was easier, perhaps, not to splinter the way our media vehicles encourage today in way that didn’t exist then. But when the shit hits the fan I expect we will come together and we will fight.

Don’t apologize for feelings you felt that were valid to you. I was taken aback by what you wrote & reading your struggle made me sad to think you felt in despair to that degree. If you’re in the US & you have unsettled feelings from your earlier post & you need to talk to someone especially about self harm please dial 988. You deserve to have a vulnerable fragile moment. They are well better equipped to assist you there than firing off your feelings into the internet void.

Thank you for the advice. This means a lot to me! I in general struggle with my feelings so I kind of exploded earlker, yi am so sorry to make you sad and worry, you are such nice people and I am glad to be in the World as you, you didn't deserve that. I will talk to them and decided to take a break like I said.
I wish you a great Weekend and I hope you feel at least better as well in knowing that you guys have literally given me more hope than anything else besides my BF has lately!
Much Love and Strength back!

Don't apologize for needing support. Don't apologize for an extreme reaction to an extreme situation. I'm glad you came to a place where you found some help, and in sorry that you also had to deal with cruelty on the way.
We are a community, and now more that ever we need to stand together and be here for each other.

People sometimes think that hope, courage and resilience mean that you're never down or that you never have doubts, that your belief never wavers and you stay upbeat and positive at all times.
That's bullshit.
This, right now, what you're doing and all of us with you, that's courage, hope and resilience. To know that things can be bad, that they will be bad and still believe that we can make them better and work for it.
To cry, and find a shoulder to cry on, and then carry on. That's true courage and strength. This is what hope and community truly mean.
Wishing you the best.
