  • Community events where you get to talk to people would be the way to go! I haven’t really gotten the chance these days now that I’ve settled down, but I used to.

    You can start simple and surface-level, without going into much about yourself. If some of these people think you’re weird, then well, that’s too bad, perhaps it’s just not meant to be and it’s time to move along. Tho you can’t be anonymous like in here, chances are, you won’t meet these people if you stop going, so it’s a bit like this place.

    Speaking of, your instance (lemm.ee) is shutting down, not sure if you’re aware of it. Might wanna make a new account on another server (assuming you wanna remain on Lemmy).


  • Keep in mind that I’m just an internet stranger to you. You’d probably want to talk to your IRL folks as well.

    With the closure, at least you know there’s no going back. So you can only move forward from here.

    Going insane looks different for everyone. I can’t tell you what it looks like probably because I wasn’t looking at myself back then.

    I guess setting up a good environment for you to recover in would be the best you can do. This means surrounding yourself with the good people (i.e. try not to push them away), and staying away from the bad ones. Your conscience (not your emotions) could be of help here.

    Having some activities would go a long way as you’d be thinking what’s in front of you instead of pondering all the what-ifs.

    I wish you all the best!




  • Sadly in most cases your only options would be between numbing yourself out and going insane.

    You can try to find another one like him ASAP, but that’s just one way to numb yourself out.

    If I were you, I’d choose to numb myself out in the least toxic and destructive manner. You still have your future to think about after all.

    So, if I were to do drugs, it wouldn’t be the ones that might result in me killing somebody or cause permanent bodily damage one way or another.

    Then at some point, you’ll be able to look back and say that it’s all just a childish affair.
