Have You Known Someone Who Has Commit Suicide?

[Fatman LOU]

Have you ever done one of those sleep studies?

Yes and i had the prescription for the c-pap, i tried multiple mask and everything. I'm too restless, Doctor wound up prescribing sleeping pills.
I went to stay at the clinic overnight and they released me at 4;00 am, they realized i wasnt a good candidate .

What a load of bullshit that story was. What an attention whore.

You're the only one here acting like an attention whore.

Met this girl while she was on vacation one summer when I was a Senior in high school. Had a great summer with her and made plans to visit her in North Carolina. She was also part of the reason I ended up at UNC-Chapel Hill over UM, UVA and UPenn.

She had mentioned to me she had been depressed in the past but unbeknownst to me she was raped at some point after I saw her that summer and then committed suicide shortly thereafter. Spent a lot of my freshman year at UNC trying to figure out the asshole that raped her but never did figure it out. Still burns me up to this day that dude is probably out there somewhere living his life but eventually had to let it go. Can't imagine how her family feels as never was able to connect with them as felt stupid trying to reach out as some summer fling that only knew her a few months.

Anxiety is a m'fer. You ever take meds or anything or what were your anxiety triggers?

No, never got any professional help or taken meds of any sort. I wanted to see a therapist, but I was always afraid of what they'd tell me (tell me their was something really wrong with me). So I never went, but over time I realized if you don't water the weeds of anxiety they won't grow. I figure there's a fair chance I'd be diagnosed with OCD or something of the like as my experience is essentially to the tee what people with OCD experience. If you were to look up pure O OCD that would basically describe my experience, but of course, self diagnosing is very unwise so i just consider myself to be someone who doesn't tick in a completely normal way.

Did you get professional help or figure it out on your own?

Never got professional help, mainly just figured it out on my own. Basically the key was to not constantly think about the things that caused me anxiety, I basically just stopped trying to figure these things out and would think about more cheerful things, that made me realize the ridiculousness of my worries, and eventually my anxiety over them dissipated tremendously. Now every time I start to worry or agonize over seemingly irrational things I kill it right there on the spot by dedicating my brain power to other things lol. Got some more detail in my response to firsttimer.

Wow. That's a heavy story man. Just another example that serves as evidence for why we should always treat people with kindness. Obviously a rape can have a major impact on people, but even being unnecessarily rude on one occasion can really hurt someone who's down.

Good on you that you worked through it on you own as sadly many can't and don't get help. That is one area I have had to learn as I would often tell people to just man up or suck it up or there is nothing to be afraid about but that is counter-productive and unhelpful for a lot of people.

Yeah when I picked up track and cross country in HS the exercise of it really pushed me out of the rut. Exercise helps with all mental issues (even severe mental illnesses), so I'd always recommend that.

And as you might imagine, that's a lot of what my family told me (man up, suck it up). That didn't help me, but I also expected myself to man up. As a young kid who never had any experience with mental issues I thought that was what I had to do. Made things worse for me. Saying there's nothing to be afraid of and approaching it in a logical way can help. For me the best advice would've been just to have someone tell me not to worry about it and to stop thinking about it. Different for everyone though of course.

Mental illness has a terrible stigma in this country and that sucks.

Do you take sleeping pills to help regulate sleep? I'm prone to days where I'll be up for 2 days straight for no real reason. I've done melatonin to help me fall asleep and that does the trick most nights, but on my odd 2 day streaks I'll usually call in a script and my doctor knows about it. I've found, for reasons I don't quite understand, that if I take a cold shower < 30 minutes before I want to go to bed has helped recently.

I take some pretty strong meds to sleep. I tried OTC, diet changes, meditation, more exercise. Nothing worked. I used to go weeks sleeping 1 -3 hrs a day and then just crash, it was awful. So much better I can get usually 4 hrs str8 and 7 hrs overall. I always wake up, but then use breathing/meditation to fall back asleep without needing another dose. It's been a long road..

Most look at me and my work ethic and can't believe I struggled for so many yrs when I was younger.

Anyways, just to share, where I work, they evaluate salary annually and just got a 6% raise (they call it an equity evaluation raise) 2 months before my merit which I know I will kill (probably another 3.5-4%) on top of my 10% bonus which I graded out at 130% of base bonus...

<<< Just a maniac at work blowing everyone away and have great drugs to sleep, doesn't get much better than that.

And one more share: 20 yrs ago, I was renting a room at a POS house and about to lose my job with a vehicle that didn't run, crazy amounts of child support owed and not a dollar to my name.

Since then, found out my issues, remarried the same person that divorced me and have been making it up ever since..

PM me and let's talk, I think taking this offline would be better at this point..
