It’s not that I don’t want to burden others, it’s that I know they can’t do anything to help.
What a tastefully named gentleman. Thank you kind sir.
Beautiful name because it’s a riff off of Thelonious Monk, a beautiful jazz musician that I place in my top 3 of musicians. Other two being John Coltrane and Miles Davis. Honorable mention would be Chet Baker as he is definitely up there, but listening to Chet just brings you into a whole different mood. Much preferable on a gloomy, rainy day with a cup of coffee or tea in hand.
Anyways, Fuck Nazi’s.
I wish. No one IRL treats me like this. Everyone’s eyes glaze over or they freak out. There is no support.
I also have clinical depression and I really get the lack of support. Nevertheless, I would give him the benefit of the doubt. I think what he’s emphasizing is the “no one” part. There are some, fewer than id like, people that want to see the world a better place and we gotta support each other
That’s the heartbreaking part - so many would genuinely rather hear about your death than have to suffer your “whining” (most would not admit that though). I suppose it takes all kinds of people in this world…
Yeah my wife kinda said she was tired of hearing me be depressed. And now she wonders why I’m a bit closed off today, or numb.
Came to say the same thing. It’s awesome to be optimistic and wholesome, but very few people care that in depth. It’s also really hard to shoulder someone at that level.
Especially with males.
I hate that this took me till i was a father to figure this out. And even then my kids were in there late teens to twenties beforehand it really sunk in.
How can I expect my kids to open up to me if I won’t open up to them.
I understand the message but for those suffering, be forewarned, not everyone can understand what you’re going through. People that love you and care about you will just stare at you and say: “umm … okay”. It is not a judgement against them or their character that they don’t understand it.
I say that as someone that was clinically depressed. It was helpful for me, and I can’t only speak for myself, to find others that were feeling the same way and talking to them. Far easier to speak to others that “get it”. That’s not to say you shouldn’t open up to your friends … I have and I don’t regret it. However, don’t expect everyone to understand what you’re going through.
I saw Felonious Munk at the DC Comedy Loft in Dec 24. Top notch show. Mental health was part of his set and was well received by the audience.
Tks

A lovely sentiment, but unfortunately it has no basis in point of fact reality.
