IDK this whole men on this site need advice thing has convinced me that people here really think this isn't a safe place to ask questions about how to, IDK, be?. So ask them here I guess if you didn't ask them in the other thread.
I'm drunk and going to sleep now, but I have the day off tomorrow and will sincerely commit to effort-posting responses if anyone has genuine questions they want some in depth advice to.
I will say I'm just a guy who thinks he has enough trips around the sun to have some insight to share but I am not an authority on anything, so anyone else please feel free to chime in
I guess I'd ask when do you feel sad? Like if you're having a conversation with your partner, do you feel sad? Do you feel sad when you're doing whatever activity makes you fit? Do you feel sad when hanging out with your friends? Do you feel sad when you're connecting with your comrades and doing praxis in your local org? Do you feel sad at work?
Or do you feel sad always? Or just in the interstitial moments between activities? Or just when you're doomscrolling?
If you feel sad always, I'd probably try to find a good mental health professional that fit my vibe. If I couldn't afford it I would utilize the community mental health supports that are available. But yeah, mental health support is above my pay grade.
