I feel like i was doing so well, just suppressing my grief and not dealing with it. Comes with ups and down but hey, at least it didnt interfere with my life. Now though, i decided to do grief counseling, and i have all these feelings. Everything makes me fucking sad, even going to the gym is sad because my wife and I used to be workout buddies. Not doing anything makes me sad, but doing things makes me sad too. Why the fuck did i think going to counseling would be a good idea, it fucking sucks

I'm not currently seeking help but believe me when I say I'm right there with you. It's hard to find genuine motivation instead of just filling your mind with self talk, but one I try to remember is "your enemies want you unhappy, weak, sad and stagnant." Momento Mori. Feel the sun, feel the wind, let the clouds be your witnesses. Live, because you won't have to every day.

i had a post for you but it was a bit of a text wall

i just wanna say go drop into a Salvation Army Corps somewhere and ask to speak to someone. Even if youre not religious, and tell em youre not, but theyll listen an if you show up at the right time on the right day youll probably score some bacon and eggs too.

tl;dr ex atheist went through bad shit stumbled around a few years and ive somehow ended up a salvationist.

counselling didnt work for me but my problems were other people not changing their behaviour and taking responsibility for themselves. Salvos havent taken long at all to make me feel like im actually part of a family. i dont feel like a fucking freak anymore because im starting to realise what was causing it.

i dunno. message me or something if you need someone to chat to, cant guarantee an instant response but just dont get sucked under man.

Concider volunteering at an animal shelter. Lots of lonely animals who need attention out there.
