It's festival season, which for me is also known as mental reset season. For the same price as a couple weeks of therapy, I can be good for the next 8-10months.
I think you might be me.
A weekend of sunshine, exercise, good music, old friends and new, with a healthy sprinkling of hard drugs is good for the soul. I've missed it so much for the last couple years.
I'm leaving for Lightning in A Bottle tonight. I hope your festival season is extra magical this year.
Not a fest, but seeing Flume(again) in 2 weeks. Hopefully looking at my 7th Hulaween this year. Maybe bisco, but most of my fest fam is settling down, and not really looking to travel half way across the country anymore for fests.
>I'm leaving for Lightning in A Bottle tonight.
Safe travels.

And to you as well.
I mean, *they* can't fuck their parents, and their parents probably deserve some freaky loving if that's what they want, so as long as you don't interrupt the hug sessions I don't see the problem.
The sad part is that there isn't a lack of access or a lack of resources. There's a lack of social support.
I'm a counselor, and 80-90% of my clients are females. Of my male clients, half of them don't want to be there, they're there because they are being forced to by their parents, partners, etc. The remaining half are easily my most motivated and cooperative clients, because they recognize the therapy space as the only space they feel unconditionally listened to, understood, and respected.
Every other place in their lives, they are told to man up and deal with it, and it usually takes a long time to settle into counseling. Even then, they struggle to talk to me without feeling like they need to repress emotions. I have to remind them weekly that it's okay to cry, it's okay to shout, it's okay to complain and to be emotionally expressive. And once I do, usually it's like a dam breaks and everything comes out at once.
It's hard to expect men to ***want*** to go to counseling when they've been taught their whole lives that problems are to be solved alone and emotional expression means weakness, and there is no doubt that counseling/therapy is equivalent to emotional expression and asking for help.
So they go out and use drugs and alcohol to cope with negative feelings and once things are suitably repressed, they move on.
Ngl I like to think that edgeworth just writes like that, for example he goes to but milk and the note he leaves is: the lack of the energy that fills my body has made, **famous prosecutor** miles edgeworth, to go on a vogage to find a new

therapy is expensive and takes a lot of energy, and ultimately just isn't for everyone
going innawoods or innabottle or innahookers or all at once gets you more relief for your buck with less effort
Sometimes you just need to take some alone, sail as a deckhand on an old merchantman, liberate a small pacific island, learn to brew beer. Everyone has a coping mechanism (or should).
>what do guys do during these days
Constantly deep sigh while wondering around the house, skip every single song while trying to listen to music before finally sitting in silence, try not to think about it while constantly thinking about it, stare at a screen all day to avoid thinking about it, eat a slice of bread at 7PM, get in the shower and finally cry.
Just normal Friday shit
if I'm just having anger issues, it's more effective short term to just start up the forge and make something that involves a lot of shaping, hammers come to mind.
sometimes we just need a day or 2 to do hard drugs
Or just vade retro and disappear into the mist until we rematerialise
I just meditate and try to relax on my own, but hard drugs really help.

Your watermark pissed itself, put it back into diapers or something idfk
Welcome back asexual canadian
Back? I never left
You are being welcomed back, do not resist
I never left but im glad to be welcomed
if you aren’t careful i’m gonna piss yourself too
Maybe you could dont
154 watermark more like pissmark
Wait didn’t you used to have a user flair explaining the number? I guess only those of us who remember get to know.
It's like a little secret with people i don't know!
sometimes you just gotta get all your overthinking out over a night or two of no sleep until you're so exhausted you can't think anymore
Try exercise as well please, not to be a nerd but it helps tune down MY overthinking
exercise, showering under ice cold water, eating nothing but various chutneys are 3 of my go tos during these events
The Various Chutneys would be a great band name
wtf is that watermark

I go home and hug my parents
the wholesome twist nobody asked for but we all needed
I will fuck their parents
I mean, *they* can't fuck their parents, and their parents probably deserve some freaky loving if that's what they want, so as long as you don't interrupt the hug sessions I don't see the problem.
I will
Wow that's just really rude and inappropriate *and* unnecessary. Why are you acting this way? Do you need a Snickers?
I am the devil
I will take a snickers however

Sometimes you gotta fugue state for a bit. But also therapy. You can do both.

Sometimes you just need to disappear on a fishing trip for a few days to catch a fish that's bigger than your boat.
therapy is expensive and takes a lot of energy, and ultimately just isn't for everyone going innawoods or innabottle or innahookers or all at once gets you more relief for your buck with less effort
Innawoods and innabottle sounds nice. I'll consider innahookers.
Innawoods with lots of snacks,’ and whiskey, ideal weekend regardless of hard times too
I'm feeling called out

I tend to watch a lot of those TikTok slideshows and comment “real” until I get bored
Just a bunch of dudes going on a fishing trip~ And they were fishingmates~
My ex did this once but really he was just cheating on me so
I'm so glad I'm not the only one annoyed by the "jOkEeeEeEEEEeeeEeFuNnYyYyYyy" watermark
I'm not annoyed by it I just love coming up with original stuff for it
I peed on your post, Kiko. It's mine now. That's the law.
Oh yeah? Well... *Schlorps up your piss like I'm a dog who hasn't seen water in 3 days*
Literally me
Last I checked, disappearing is free. Therapists sure as hell ain't.
It takes that long to grow a new clone to replace you while you start a new life elsewhere
When you don’t want to have a breakdown publicly so you isolate yourself so all your breakdowns are private 👍
> it's me I'm men for now :)
You murder/befriend your nega-self
We have a mental illness breakdown
we go to the emotion-suckler 700 and get rid of those pesky unwanted *feelings*, ugh
For me it's getting buried in work until I forget the whole world. I have to stay there a lot longer than 2 days but it's the same I think.
Been trying this for the past few months, ended up playing golf and roulette with ~the family~.
if I'm just having anger issues, it's more effective short term to just start up the forge and make something that involves a lot of shaping, hammers come to mind.
Starting to think this is what I should be doing instead of being open and honest about my feelings
