I’m thinking of ending my life after my folks pass on. There’s nothing here for me, and I just don’t want to stay.

I attempted suicide before and while I am not longer suicidal, I can relate to you.

Life can feel meaningless but if you recognize this, you must also recognize that things can get better if you want them to.

If you want someone to talk to, DM me or at least talk to someone else. It's never too late to turn things around no matter what situation you are in.

Sending you all the positive energy I have, despite it not being much.

Please seek help. My brother took his own life a year ago and there isn’t a day go by that I don’t miss him and want him back. He thought that no one needed him and he and other were better off without him. Nothing was further from the truth. After he died it was amazing to see all the people he touched in his life and how many people that did need him. So many devastated people. Just know that you have touched so many people too and you are needed.

Please don’t. There’s always a reason to be here. Always. I know it feels overwhelming but it will pass and things will get better.

Those thoughts come and go for me too. When I’m honest with myself, I don’t want to actually die, I just want a different life. I found myself single at 39, 3 years later still single. 42 is a hard age to be alone. I’m also sober now 2+ years and there’s no scene or way to connect with gay men if you’re not a drinker. I have mostly straight friends now - and a few gay ones, but everyone is busy in their relationships/families. I just got ordered return to office fulltime this spring, and now that’s weighing on me. No family close by. I go sit in my box all day, then go to the gym or yoga or a recovery meeting, and then home to my cat. Not what I wanted or envisioned for my life. Today I went to work, had therapy, went to a recovery meeting, went to the gym, now I’m on the couch with my cat on a friday night. I hate that I’m sad and alone so much, and I’m not living the “gay life” all these other guys do. I keep going because I still have hope life might get better. Feel free to DM me, I know how you feel, and I can try to share what’s worked for me to keep waking up each day ✌🏻

You don’t have to that. There is a better way to find a reason, not just to live, but to be happy. If you end your life, you take away that beautiful choice.

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask.

After being broken up now for 14 months - I think I still love my ex. We were together 6 years, and never fought. I thought I would spend the rest of my life with him. I don’t know why I can’t move on. It’s my birthday weekend and I have plans all weekend, but can’t stop thinking about this. I’ve been out with lots of great guys, but I keep holding on that maybe… one day we will be together again. Then my ex texted me today to let me know he and his new fiancé are moving to (cont. below)…
