What else are you suppose to do?
Ask for help. Be vulnerable with the boys.
The boys can't do anything. They're broke and hopeless too.
Sometimes just talking things out is meaningful on its own.
I will just say, having gone through a real rough year, it's not always black and white. I be vulnerable with the boys and ask for help, but I need time to process first, and to do it in the way I want and the time I want.
In the meantime, I am often sending memes for that small comfort of friendship while I process.
Cool, cool, cool...
Are there any other options tho?
Yes. That's the healthy option. ...Not gonna do it.
Lol, no. We'll all just suffer quietly thanks.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
The time is gone, the song is over. Though I'd something more to say.
I'll just post 'mood' worthy memes untill the problem is normalized to me long enough to stop making me feel things about it.
Or go to therapy, or a 12 step program, or a support group, or a mens shed or call a crisis line.
But ignoring it and pretending it'll go away on its own letting the pressure build until it explodes is MANLY unlike taking responsibility for your reactions.
The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma...
Wallow in self pity?
I'm good with sending memes.
