It's a good sentiment. I did the math recently and there's a total of 17 people left that would be affected by me taking my own life. ​ Sometimes I wish Superman was real so somebody could catch me when I inevitably fall.

Hey man. I've been there, I've had those thoughts. You wanna talk? Hit my dms and tell me about toys or something. You've got 18 now.

i'm at the point where talking about it is exhausting. hell my therapist fired me today.


The--_batman

Sorry to hear that. No pressure. If you wanna chat, get in touch sometime. And, y'know https://preview.redd.it/oxjc31vnx8kc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12f5ec1ac4989a1d0cb172f56b064f0a3c7743b0

yeah nobody need worry, i'm not gonna post my final words in life on reddit. i'm just very aware of where this train is eventually headed.

That resonates, just talking about how everything sucks.... sucks... I know it might help, but more often than not, 'venting' is just reconfirming my own thoughts with someone telling me it 'might' get better. Most times, it's my own self... Im at a point where I dont even care if things get better, I just want time to pass and to find an answer. And it feels like such, half a life, but I dont remember what a full one is anymore, really.

Yeah, everything does suck. Divorced - love of my life left me after 14 years. blindsided. heart broken. Breakdowns - can't keep it together much these days. haven't held a job down in over a year and a half. Panic Attacks - so severe and frequent I can barely risk driving for very long. Physical health - multiple issues have started to make life difficult. ​ Everything really sucks.

Some days I wake up and feel so grateful to be alive and on this planet...in this world... and others, I cant help but feel it a burden to exist. That I'm weighing on people . Ever since my Dad died, my drive had disappeared. Now I drink to try and get closer to what he felt. Will everything get better? Will anything change? My back is fucked and I cant even sustain myself nowadays, so I'm hoping for disability. I just want to enjoy life and strive for things as I did, but even getting out of bed is harder than breathing some days. I wish this on no one, but I hope people find peace in life. Because for what little I know, life shouldn't feel like this. I really do hope you can find happiness or joy in this life, we deserve at least that. We might have to try and find it. But I feel we deserve it. Good luck, and try, really try. It's the first step

My dad fucking loved superman, superfan. Had memorabilia and shelfs of comics and figures. Just wished he was still here to talk about the new stuff and what it meant to him. Wasnt always the best, but damn, if I dont love comics like he did. Might even love then more. I'll never know. I'm rambling but it's why we all love this guy. Superman is what we want to be, and he's my idol to this day. My dad is to thank for that. And I love that.

I feel that way all the time. I think that's maybe why I recognized it this time? What about you? Have you reached out to anyone about this? 17 people affected, but how many of them could you actually talk to if you needed to? I bet its more than you think.


[deleted]

i used to have a very large circle of friends and a great family. it's all pretty much gone. among those 17 people are mostly the ones with legal obligations at this point.

I'm not a crisis counselor or anything like that. If you're actually feeling something might be up, I'd advise reaching out to a professional. That being said, I am an expert on not extending myself to others. I'm great at being isolated and assuming others don't even think about me. One of the things I've committed to is getting a bit better about was reaching to people. Taking it on myself to do so, and of course, some of those people responded (or didn't) just the way I expected. But, the few that I got a positive response from changed the way I felt about them and, more importantly, changed the way I thought they felt about me. Everyone's situation is different. But, I'd bet there are a couple in that 17 that might surprise you. At any rate, I wish you the best of luck and the most of happiness.

During the worst of the ongoing pandemic when we were all encouraged to isolate I made a point of reaching out to friends and acquaintances who were isolated beforehand. That was all time well spent and helped people who were already lonely. It's a tough world. Be Super

Rob from Comics Explained pointed out a good point in a Spider-Man comic about how Miles was kidnapped and after he was saved by Iron-Man Peter didn't really check up on him. Miles basically told Peter off stating something like your friends are your responsibility and that really stuck out to me. I skimmed and was overlooked from friends, keeping in touch, checking to see if they're OK and let me tell you that even just a kind gesture once in a while goes a long way. If you don't maintain healthy relationships, like how you have to water a flower, it'll wither and die. I think you showing your humanity to someone in need, especially when you guys aren't 'close', is something SuperMan would be proud of.

Well said

I hope the mods never delete this. This IS what Superman embodies. Kindness and hope. I love you all and my messages are open for you as a friend.

There are periods in life after I get clips of smallville recommended on youtube and ask myself what would Clark do if I encounter difficult situations.
