You catch space aids or something?

I got the unlucky chromosome that devotes everything about you to sex (and work and fighting but that's an extension of sex) and makes you miserable in exchange for making you better at those things. Then I also got asexuality somehow, then autism that makes me have special interests and passions I'm incapable of because of male specialized design, and extreme emotional sensitivity and sense of justice on top of that. And it makes people regard me as a disposable machine and disregard my needs even if I'm on the brink of suicide.

I don't know how all the other boys and men even tolerate this, let alone embrace it and expect others to. Bluepilled coping I guess, which I'm sadly not capable of.

What you do is just take those feelings, squish them into a little ball, and keep them deep inside yourself. Try not to think about it. Things just are, it's not always fair, but you can't do anything about it and worrying about things you can't do anything about is not productive.

I think therapy got it all wrong. Talking about your feelings just leads to dwelling on immutable things. And being a sensitive man is not the good quality perhaps you had been led to believe.

I know, you hate being a dude. I remember.

even if I'm on the brink of suicide.

You remind me of my friend who jumped off a building. It seemed like he was afraid of living, so he killed himself. There's a logical incongruity to that. At that point you should be able to say fuck it, and do what you want (I mean no mass shootings, that's shitty) but you literally have nothing left to lose if you're going to end it anyways.

Also, do you smoke weed?

I remember watching some random YouTube video that said something along the lines of how if your're constantly reprocessing shit you're basically retraumatizing yourself and that's not really helpful. I don't think that's true for everyone but it made a lot of sense to me. I think therapy is good but it's mainly for people who are good at verbally processing their feelings (not me).

You reminded me of this, it's a new type of magnetic brain stimulation. The sample size is ridiculously tiny but it might have the benefits of ECT without all the pesky horrible effects.
