I've lost about 30 family and friends since 2016. Including my Grandma, two months later, my mom and 2 years later my little sister. Last night my first cousin's oldest son shot himself in the head with a pistol. No one knows why. He was 18 and things were going well for him and now he's gone. He was a well mannered and smart kid. Man, life is a fickle thing. That's all, goats. Just had to get it off my chest. Another fucking funeral. WTF.
Edit to say: Thanks, to all of you for your kind words. It means more than you know.
Man that sucks. I lost my father, grandfather, and godfather all within a couple months about six years ago. Keep your chin up, bro. Make time for yourself, allow yourself to grieve in the healthiest way possible. I know we're just a bunch of faggots here, but reach out if you're feeling overwhelmed.
I had a really tough year a while back that just blew me off my ass. Brother overdosed, cousin killed herself, lost my fiance, my job, my home. Getting through it was easily the hardest thing I've ever done and it changed me drastically. I got really deep into my head which was bad but also turned out really good. I feel impervious now.
When things get really bad do some frivilous shit just to take you away for a while- watch a stupid comedy or some music you wouldn't want anyone to know you listen to.
Sorry for your loss man. I find that getting out into nature for a bit helps a lot. You could try a weekend backpacking trip to get yourself back into a normal state of mind.
I thought I had it bad these last few years. Remain close to your remaining family. Dont try to hang out with outsiders too much. They are too into social media and meaningless bullshit and just wound up infuriating me.
There's nothing easy about life, fate is cruel and destiny hides her hand until one day she forces you to call or fold...my policy is that I'm sticking around to keep everyone miserable, nobody's getting off the hook that easy...but it does suck to lose the ones closest to you.
It sure does though, it feels like life just keeps piling shit up. I deal with most things better I think than I used to... Or maybe I'm just more numb. Had a pretty serious loss myself, that I can't really talk to anyone about. My wife's parents both died this year, her country is the epicenter of world war 3... Literally don't talk to my family anymore because of everything that's been going on. I was drinking myself to death and was heavily considering getting myself killed so that my wife could collect.
Stopped drinking so much, starting lifting again. Don't feel like I'm out of the woods but I've lost some weight and feel better... I'm still having a really tough time but I'm doing my best now legitimately.
Edit: I took a second to reflect. I have to add... I feel like I can't enjoy almost anything that regular people enjoy. Movies, TV, fuck even video games which used to be an outlet for me suck. Music mostly reminds me of stuff that hurts, even the happy songs. I don't know... If I'm not preoccupied working out or shit up in a video game I'm processing everything that's happening around us and im enraged.
I guess I'm saying I'm either sad, or angry and there's not much in-between these days.
Nothing like a death to propel you into a place where nothing is real:
"Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'. Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good.".
and too many ppl dont take into account the fragility that has been built-in to everything. "whats coming" is going to be of a "kill em all, let god sort them out" variety.
correct...and certain (((groups))) will be targetted...there will be vetching and screaming about "racist Whites" when it happens but no one cares anymore...the tribe has had enough of their evil exposed to enough people...critical mass reached, reaction is occuring, explosion due in short order
at least not thru the China Lake DUMB tunnel hub or TerraMar... the ones off-planet by now are already long gone... oh well, see you on the other side, i guess

Also, exercise, reading and meditation.
I know it sucks
