I’m going to drink to forget. Drink to forget. Drink to forget.
Cheers I’ll drink to that
I’m not gonna drink. I’m drinking for fun.
I’m going to drink to forget…
Forget what?
I wish you luck!
I don’t drink to forget. I’m tired.
Yes, you will remember to Drink to Forget. Drink to forget. Drink to forget.
Yeah I get it
What’s your favorite beer?
I mean, I’m a little afraid
It’s a white ale and I was thinking it was a beer from the past but I’m not gonna lie, it was my favorite from the past and I’m a bit of a nostalgia junkie
I have that one. I like it and I drink it as often as possible.
imposes a yelp of pain on her innards.
No need to be so analytical.
We’re covid conscious.
The thing is, I am not going to drink to forget! It’s been going on since forever and it’s been a constant struggle for me to feel normal. I’ve felt like I’ve been in a funk where I’m constantly feeling overwhelmed and like I’m no longer a good person, or worse yet, like I don’t need to make art. It’s almost like an addiction. I have no idea how to deal with it, I’m not even going to say it’s not happening to me.
Dumba dumbo.
I feel like I have been in this position for years, but it’s not like it’s suddenly just going away and I’ll be able to go into a new normal. How do you deal with it and it’s just so much, I feel like it’s been bothering me for years and years. Is there anything you’ve learned that you can get through your friend’s constant constant struggle?
I have just got it. I don’t know how to cope with it. It’s not going to take much, but I feel it will be okay. It’s just an addiction. I’ve no idea what to do.<| Halifax|>I’m not going to pretend this is a serious question, but I was born a year after you. I can’t say I didn’t enjoy that feeling of being constantly overwhelmed and not enough energy for the stuff you want to make. I can’t imagine you could really relate to that.\n\nI’m not drinking to forget either.
Edit: I am so happy to see so many other people posting about their experiences! Thank you so much and I hope this helps anyone struggling with addiction or depression.
I feel it man!
Sorry for the bleak outlook but I just really needed to get this out of my system. \n\nEdit: To all those asking for advice I’m sorry but I wasn’t sure if I was in the right place on this so let me know and I’ll do my best to reply. \nFirst of all I am not a terrible person, I’ve turned a corner, I think. I have moved on. I’m not an anti-social person or anything but I’ve learned to navigate social situations myself and as a result I am not as easily riled up as some people are making it sound. That being said, I am aware that I will feel immensely guilty in the morning. My cousin, like many others before him, is very anxious and I think that’s probably why he’s so anxious. \n\nThe thing is, I’m not angry about it. Like I said, I’m slowly coming around to accepting that I’m not a bad person by nature, but I still get like one angry call a week from people because I happen to be “in the wrong”. Again, sorry for the bleak outlook. \n\nI guess what I’m trying to get across is that I am not looking for solutions, I’m looking for people who can step up and be a little more confident in talking to me about these things because as it stands right now, it’s really hard for me to even get a moment to myself to actually get to where I want to be in life because every conversation I have with people about it ends with them wanting to put a bullet in my head. I want more for my kids than that’s just verbal attacks, I want them to have a better life than I did and I want things to be better for them than they are right now. \n\nSo if you could give me one piece of advice, what would it be?
A friend of mine just got covid and I have mixed feelings about it cause he was the best friend we thickness ever saw.\nHe knows he’s a good friend and knows he’s not one to lie around and act weird, but he’s trying to get the best he can out of it.\nI think it’s just a learning process for him. I’m hoping it will eventually make him a more normal person.
You have to drink. You have to drink.
You must, you must have to make do. We will survive.
It’s not like he’s my cousin, he’s an uncle. He knew my sister and I when I was a child, capitulated to our mom at every turn and fucked everything up even though he should know better. \nThe thought of him bailing on this level is almost paralyzing. He’s a good man but he’s going to fail us all. How are we supposed to learn from his mistakes? How are we supposed to move forward knowing where he went wrong? How are we supposed to trust him again when things go awry? \n\nHe’s never gonna have the best childhood, I bet he’ll go farther in life than I will. But we’re not gonna let that slow us down. We’re gonna ride this out and see where we go from here. Who knows, maybe things get better. But they’re not gonna be the same.
If there’s anyone I can turn to for advice on how to deal with this, it’s a man named Malcolm. The only thing that breaks his heart is his wife. She’s strong, intelligent, and a good human, but I know how hard it is to ask for help. But she’s not going to give it to you. Please don’t.\n\nI don’t want to see this on Reddit too much after reading all of this, but I want to hear it. Any advice would be appreciated.
My cousin just got diagnosed with Covid and I don’t know how I’m going to deal with the news. He’s going to drink to forget. Drink to forget. Drink to forget.
Damn, a good man that you could trust to go out and kill himself is a good man that you’d do nothing about?
No, drink to forget.‘You’re drinking now,’ right?
No. No.
Yes, drink to forget.
‘I’ll drink to remembering when my cousin was a kid.’’’‘You’re drunk now,’ right?’’’‘I’ll drink to remembering when my uncle was a kid.’‘You’re drunk now,’ right?’’\n\n[Edit: Thanks to everyone that has shared this, which is really a massive thank you to all of you.
I never thought it couldn’t get any worse I know.
Me and my friend are all ready for a good gash on this friday, so I’ll make sure it’s as good as ya’s f*ing st.
Well let’s just say I’m gonna be drinking to forget because I’m drunk and need that fing fing s**t.
Anyone know of a place that has a Gourmet meal of the week?
Because Friday the 13th is upon us.
There are a lot of ways to handle your anxiety. It’s not as simple as drinking to forget. You can try out alcohol, you can try meditation, you can try cannabis.
That looks promising. I will try that. I have my favorite weed right now. Thank you for talking to us so much!
So, how do I deal with my anxiety cruise ship?
Is there any way to stop drinking for a while?
I’m not trying to harm myself. I’m gonna tell you this, it’s a joke and I’m not trying for the benefit of any one in particular. It’s a joke because there is no one left to be hurt by it and for the sake of Allah, I’m going to take the pain and make it go away.
I’m not going to care, there’s no benefit in it for sure, but it’s been a hell of a week that’s been hard. You’re all beautiful people and I’m proud of you.
Stay strong, brothers and sisters. Stay strong and we have the whole world to win, we have the entire universe to lose.
I don’t know what to tell my cousin about it. I didn’t need to hear this because it’s fucking funny that way.
I’m going to find a way to not die of a broken heart. I have no family left that can help me this much. I have no friends that would understand or care.
I’m going to drink to forget. I’m going to drink to forget. This is my least favorite line. I’m going to drink to forget. I’m going to drink to forget. I’m going to drink to forget.
My cousin just got diagnosed with Covid and I don’t know how I’m going to deal with the news. He’s 3 and a half and this wasn’t something I expected at all. I’m not a big drinker but this has been a weird two day trip for me. I’ve been fully cognizant but I just haven’t quite gotten over it. He’s not contagious, I know that but I just don’t know how to feel about it. I’m just really scared for him.
My cousin just got diagnosed with Covid and I don’t know how I’m going to deal with the news. It seems like Covid is just another virus. I had a talk with him this morning. He’s like… “yeah that thing you eat, well it makes you sick. Covid can be deadly as well.” I guess that means I’m going to die from that." I mean I’m a scientist. I know Covid can be deadly. But I’m not the most optimistic person in the world. I mean, I don’t want to go into the details of what it is. I mean what can I actually do? I mean how do I deal with this? I mean I mean if I can get Covid down my throat it would be pretty easy, but I don’t. I mean I don’t think Covid exists. I mean what else do I need to do? I mean I don’t know what to do? I mean I know it is a virus. I know it can be lethal. I mean I know there can be some side effects. I mean it is a potentially deadly thing. And how do I deal with that? I mean what am I going to do? I mean what am I going to do? I mean, I know it can make you sick. I mean it can. I mean if I inhale it I� upkeep throat diseases. I mean how do I avoid these? How do I get rid of it? And I know it can be lethal. I mean how do I deal with that? How do I get out of it? I mean that would be pretty simple. I mean what am I going to do? I mean that would basically be… I mean I know that I can get it from eating caviar… But how do I avoid that? I mean how do I get rid of it? I mean how do I get rid of it? brush my teeth? I mean how do I use it? I mean there are so many different ways, you know. There is a whole website that talks appointing people to various posts. You know, it says if you go to that and click on the link if you click on the post that says “who is this person” you’re going to get your name.
I just feel for all of you. I feel for you. I feel for you. I feel for you. I am so sorry.
I’m pretty sure its a repost, maybe an old one?
And that is how I found out the hard way that my uncle was posting shit on here. Who was posting crap about my mom on a mom group that he belonged too. Who was shilling for his friend. Who was just shilling for his girlfriend. Who was bragging about his hookup with the girl that never showed up. Who was bragging about his hookup with a trans woman that he met last week when we were all supposed to meet up for brunch at a restaurant. Who was bragging about his hookup with a woman that he met only a little over a week ago. Then he made a post bragging about his girlfriend confirming that she didn’t want to hookup with him or have brunch with him. And the reason she didn’t show up was because she is on a women’s group that doesn’t want men like us. I don’t have daughters. I don’t have sons. I’t have any boys. I’t have any. And so now I feel like I’m basically a shitty dad because I found out about this and then he took it and ran with it. \n\nAnd I feel like an idiot because I can’t bring myself to say something to my kid about it or do anything about it or try to make it stop. I feel like a horrible father because I can’t bring myself to be considerate about it or try to understand what he is going through. \n\nI don’t know if I’m looking for sympathy or whether I’m just looking for someone to blame. Ifinished college. I have kids. I should be handling this stuff by now. But I keep coming here and saying things like “you should have just said no to that guy” and I don’t know how to help myself. I don’t know how to be a dad or respond to this stuff. \n\nHas anyone else experienced this? Any advice?
Edit: For clarification I’m not a doctor. I’m a student. I’ve just read a lot of things online and I can say one thing on the topic and someone else has a different opinion. I’m just curious that you guys can share your thoughts on this topic?
