Love VolbeatDon't run into too many Volbeat fans, good taste!
Yeah, Citizen Soldier are a band fronted by someone whose been there, he was actually placed into a psychiatric hospital for a while because of his struggles, he's now a licensed therapist, and it shows in a lot of the music they produce. For instance:Kinda reminds me of our boy Chester Bennington, this song. He was struggling with himself before he ended his life. Song is hard by the way, Crystal. U got good taste in music![]()
Looks like we both got something in common. I've suffered from suicidal ideation too. Been to a mental institute twice when I tried to overdose myself, and attempted it a third time recently when I brokeYep, it's one of those things we need in this world. As someone who suffers from suicidal ideation it's music like this that keeps me grounded. Love it!
Been dealing with it it since I was a teenager, they've even been trying to have me declared SMI (severe mental illness) to make it easier to get me put away any time they feel like it. Been fighting that diagnosis for a year or so now.Looks like we both got something in common. I've suffered from suicidal ideation too.

It happens, but the important thing is I overcame, and I'm still going

Yes, very true. I never wanna end up in a place like that again. I just spend time being to myself and being me, and just avoiding any stress factors that might trigger me in some way. I wanna be as mentally stable as I can. Sometimes the best way to avoid mental stress is to steer clear of the things, people, or circumstances that might cause the instability. Right now, for me, that's no more dating unless I'm sure it's the right one lolBeen dealing with it it since I was a teenager, they've even been trying to have me declared SMI (severe mental illness) to make it easier to get me put away any time they feel like it.

Being brought back from failed attempts is... disheartening, but makes you realize what you have.
Yep, I hear you on that one for sure. I got really lucky on that front with my partner @MC74 being such a perfect fit for me and my personality. She gets me and understands my mental health issues, too. I'm so lucky to have her. I hope you can find that, yourself!Yes, very true. I never wanna end up in a place like that again.

Yes, thanks for that. I hope I do find someone that will accept me for me. I have an abnormal, child-like personality that's often misunderstood by people. I'm really just an energetic fun loving and humorous type of guy, but women often depict me as a "man-child" and I guess it's a turn off for MOST women, but not all I guess? I dunno. My ex accepted it and wasn't bothered by it, so maybe I just need someone else who will still accept me the same as she did. In all honesty, majority of women probably look for a man to be with, not a man-child. I guess maybe I should act my age a little more?Yep, I hear you on that one for sure.

Perfect ice breaker for that? A dog! Women love dogs and a man with a dog and a fun personality suddenly isn't so much of a barrier anymore because he's just having fun with his fur baby!Yes, thanks for that.

Totally understandable, animals aren't for everyone! I love animals, but they're just not for everyone. Nothing wrong with that at all! Just need to find the thing that works to channel that energy. In the 90s it was skater guys, these days, I have no idea, lol, but you just find that route that works to help channel the energy and show that hey, yeah, I'm a fun guy, and I make it work for meLol. Sorry, I would consider that if I were a pet person. I'm terrified of dogs. They're #1 on my phobia list next to fear of drowning. I'd probably be better taking my chances with cats
, but again, I'm not really a pet person. I'm sorry
