My brother admitted he's dying from cancer, my mom has more problems than i can count, my wife is dying from some brain related issue, my dog died, my entire extended family is dead or have divorced out. Literally anyone I can count on is gone or going. I feel like when enough go out ill make my chance to quietly wrap around a tree and be done with it. This is too much bullshit for me to bear

I had similar shit happen to me a few years back- my brother died, cousin suicide, end of long term relationship, lost job, dog died... I got into a very fuck the world place and when I stopped caring everything kind of fixed itself. I was planning to off myself and got very, very close but I didn't (or maybe I did????) and when I stopped caring the world got better.

This was right before politics really went to shit in this country so, according to everyone else the world got worse, but I didn't think so. I didn't give a fuck. While everyone was moaning and going into breakdowns in 2020 because of Corona and all that shit I had been through much worse and thought it was sad everyone was losing it for that shit. What I had been through was the worst thing I ever experienced (and I had already been through a lot of really hard shit) so it would be hard to get me back there. It's hard to even upset me now.

I'm not going to tell you to hang in there because I hate when strangers that have no idea say that shit but I will tell you because I went that far down I can probably handle anything. It changed me though. I don't really give a fuck about anyone but a few select people. I hate a lot but I don't get upset about it and I look down on practically everyone. I think most people are worthless and will crumble at the slightest problem. I'm probably the definition of asshole but again, I don't care.

No advice, just telling you how it went for me. If you get through what you're going through you'll look down on everyone for being weak as fuck and you'll know you're tougher than almost everyone.
