37 days. One day I took a look in the mirror and I didn’t like what I saw. So I changed it. Honestly it’s not at all difficult after the fourth or fifth day, it just gets really hard to sleep. I was in my early twenties and I still had the willpower for that (and probably the metabolism) but I don’t anymore.

Edit to be clear: I don’t recommend this. It was a harsh decision born out of a lot of depression and other issues. I drank a lot of water and took multivitamins. It worked but I was probably just lucky I didn’t end up in the hospital.

Source? That’s not right wing?

Lol nevermind I just took a three second glance through your post history and you’re a crazy right winger yourself, go fucking pound stone

Right after the Nazi was shot, the right wing was going crazy saying this was civil war from the left and they should all be killed and all that shit. When it came out it was a right winger MAGA who shot the fascist they switched to “thoughts and prayers”.

Right wing killer: I forgive him, may he get the help he needs.

Left wing killer: OFF WITH HIS HEAD HATE CRIME REEEEE

Wah wah wah why won’t you just let us exterminate an entire nation? Sad face #warcriminalslivesmatter #itsnotgenocidewhenwedoit #disney

Has the same energy as Micheal from The Office screaming “I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY” except Micheal is the president and we’re all fucked

Device on top that detects the “I’m done” ding and pulls the latch/whatever to open the door a touch. Genius, I know.

Riskiest click of the last month

It’s specifically a (shitty) intimidation move. “Don’t downvote me again or a mod/admin will happen.” Pretty pathetic as far as intimidation moves go but that’s keyboard warriors for you.

The MAGA half of America is very much pro-genocide. It’s terrifying

Ah well, unfortunately the community name is set, there’s no changing it after it’s created. Maybe I should’ve made it more searchable but hopefully we can spread it by word of mouth enough where it’ll take off. Also I kinda wanted it less intimidating clinical sterile sounding and more just a homey place where people can feel safe to talk openly, just a li’l reprieve from the outside world.

Connect is wonderful! Posting from that. I don’t know if they have an iOS version but I’m on Android. Very much like RiF, feels familiar

You can share them to fellow humans here now /c/reprieve@lemmy.zip

Well if you give up before you start just because the existing options are shitty then that makes you part of the problem, doesn’t it?

Yeeah agreed. So this is specifically not gonna be about that and if I see any of that shit it’s getting nixed… I just want all these guys who have no where to turn to to…well, have somewhere to turn to. Each other.

Too bad for them I made one

The amount of sexism in this comment section is…unnerving. Does a community exist for male identifying people to talk and share their troubles in a non hostile space? If it doesn’t I’ll make one.

Edit: No idea what I’m doing but !Reprieve@lemmy.zip

I’m here to talk if you need an ear man, I understand you and it sounds like you’ve been through your own personal brand of shit

Edit: Made a com where you can talk more freely without judgement /c/reprieve@lemmy.zip

If you really honestly don’t understand why what you said was horrible I’m willing to have a conversation with you if you want to DM me to talk about it. For starters, men feel scared and uncomfortable because their serious problems will get made light of just like you did. Or told to “man up”. Which I imagine was on the tip of your tongue

This response is why men feel scared and uncomfortable opening up. You are a part of the problem. For your male family members’ sake, I hope you check in on them instead of just being sexist online.
