Huaraches can save a man’s soul.

Or sole.

Or both.

Fact.

Buzz, here's one more internet stranger who's glad, relieved, that you're okay today. One day at a time... you got this.

Well for fucks sake, reading through this thread had me tearing up big time. This place and all you weirdo dentists are amazing. I’ve met a few people from here, but it really is a weird, great little community.

Buzz, I feel everything you said, and I’m glad you said it all. I don’t know you at all, but I’ve seen your posts over the years. I lost my 17 year old a year ago. The pain I feel every day is unreal. Some days it’s a struggle to get out of bed. Our lives have been turned upside down forever. There is no positive spin on that. At this point, I live for my wife, my other kid, and my friends and family that are still around. I couldn’t do anything that would hurt them, by hurting myself. Otherwise I would probably go out, fear and loathing style. I don’t know where I’m going with this really, but if you don’t improve the situation for yourself, do it for the ones that love you ( which somehow includes a bunch of over analyzing, binding and weird ski hoarding, bunch of good guys and gals that are always there when it counts)

Sounds like I’m a little late to the party and you are moving toward a better space. Good on you for using your voice and talking it out. You got a lot of friends that you don’t even know and we’re all behind you

I appreciate your post t-

my geographic community lost a 17 year old HS Senior ( now 16 in the Class of 2024 ) on January 18, 2024.

my Condolences. ! and my empathy and my ,,, sorrow !

I appreciate your post - Thank You.

A day at a time is about all I could do. It does get a little easier as time goes on.

It's coming up on the five year anniversary of when we lost our 19 year old. I don't have any special advice. It just sucks.

Buzz, sorry for derailing any of this thread. We are all in this together, somehow, in some way.

Chup- I remember. ...

This thread may extend my life. Thank you, Buzz-

( I've) been here a long time. mostly, I don't feel worthy. But I love this place. !

going back to court on Tuesday - nine years related to my parents' estates ( 2016/2017 for Dad; 2018 for my mother ) ;

God, I Hate court.

Thank you.

My great friend said, ' Stay strong, my friend. take it one day at a time. This shall pass '


here's my contribution >>

Dad raised me on, 'This too shall pass... '
I heard it so many times. . . ( it lost meaning to me )

And when I needed to encourage young friends in 2012, it came back to me - and

the genuinely hopeless situations my father lived through ! !!


also, Kipling's, "IF"

' IF you can keep your head about you, while those around you are losing theirs and blaming you...
( and )
IF you can treat Triumph and Disaster as the Imposters they are ( and go on... )

IF you can Risk everything in 'Pitch-and-Toss', and lose everything, ( and go on... )


TBS. goddamn.


"breathe Deep(-ly) " and

' Find your way through ! !!! ' are the best pieces of advice I have received in the last twenty years...

Recommended yesterday. A surprising win for the algorithm.

Thank you so much for this, really what I needed right now. I'm crying, but in a good way.

Man, this may or may not be good advice, but here's an idea:

Go to a third-world developing country and volunteer to do something. Like with Red Cross. First, you'll see that your life does not suck nearly as bad as it could. Second, you may find some unexpected joy helping other people.

Appreciate you. Im still trying to dig out. Still very down. Going to the aquarium with my girls in a bit, my daughter would like me to go with her.

[chaka]

I don't know you, Buzz, but like a lot of others here, sending you some positive energy. This weird community supports each other, hope you get a little bump from it and take it a day at a time.

[basinbeater]

Hey, we all gotta remember. No good without the bad. If there were no ups and downs, there would be just flat blandness. Recognize the good, appreciate, and do what you can to minimize the bad. Something you realize causing you pain or grief, figure out how to reduce or eliminate. I cut booze cause I realized it was causing me pain and grief.
Know that when there are bad times there will also be good times.
Keep on keeping on everybody.

I started this graciousness moment thing awhile back as another poster mentioned, as I was getting overwhelmed with life stuff. Man I kinda hated it since I have a natural aversion and skepticism to self help horseshit. Then it kinda started to grow on me. Started to consider little things in my life that I’m fortunate to have. Now I try to do it before I pick up my phone first thing in the morning and it’s been a solid and quick addition to my day even for a pessimistic dude like me.

Sorta harsh, but pretty brilliant too:

The only clip of this I could find has Russian subtitles. As a piece on depression, alcohol and suicide probably should.

[MagnificentUnicorn]

It might sound trite but take a moment to contemplate and appreciate the miracle of your existence.
