Definitely fully suicidal in my case. My pops even demonstrated for me!

Take care of yourself my dude. Definitely not worth it, always reach for help and you'll be surprised that people actually care! Also, therapy and probably meds, if you aren't doing it already.
I've been on meds for decades my man. I'm currently going through something of a crisis: I kinda collapsed at work yesterday and walked out. Of a 8 yr "career'. Now I don't just have my inner demons to contend with, but I also risk homelessness! Isn't society grand?
If you collapsed probably there were lots of bad stuff accumulated over your working time, but yeah, I get that. I had a job that made me life miserable (billing department over phone), but I was afraid to quit because, you know, we have to sustain ourselves. Everything will be alright, but you'll have to start looking for something soon, lol.
Big oof :(
Believe or not, straight to therapy.
Something knowledge is power I guess?
I think mine took it a little too far. Yay PTSD!
I mean they have to hit you with just the right amount of a lot of things to make you funny, but I’d put a lot of determiners far ahead of any possible correlation to trauma
- critical/analytical thinking
- a personality that sees ‘attention’ as a reward
- strong social drive and desire to please others
- communication skills
To be more ‘funny’ than ‘suicidal,’ wouldn’t the right amount of trauma always be as little trauma as possible?
Not really, I'd say it depends on the person
Valid point. But, there are many reasons people are funny and like funny things. Sometimes I get the feel that I am laughing at something just to forget the harshness in life. Bo Burnham in "What's Funny" explains it better:
"Humor is often linked to shared experience
Like, a guy gets up and says
"Have you noticed that public restrooms have really inefficient hand-dryers?"
Oh, my god! Yes, I have!
Ha-ha-ha, really good point
They should fix that...
It's good to know that somebody finally gets me
Because my wife divorced me, which subconsciously forced me
To lose all sense of self
So, it's nice to think about hand-dryers and not that cheating whore"
It's a sliding scale
