Maybe I can get rich writing a memoir about my time being a sadboi in ‘the system’

I feel really sad for people who never get access to the treatment like I have though - apparently this place is called a crisis house and is only like 20 mins from my house

I’ve had a little bit of a breakdown since I’ve got here and they have to check on me through the night but at least I have memes and Spotify on my phone to grind it out lol

I have to see my ‘team’ tomorrow to assess me, I asked them today to get me some diazepams as I want to chill and they said they’d try and get me some, hope they’ll let me go tbh I already can’t hack this place

It’s nice having 24 hour people to make sure you are alive and stuff but at the same time makes you feel like a pure basket case

Oh well

You're definitely not meant to want to be there. It is inconvenient and gooseberry fool, but definitely a positive thing for the short term.

Try to be as honest with them as possible about what you're feeling and experiencing. Hiding and repressing gooseberry fool won't help for the time being. This is your chance to be vulnerable and put your feet up with those dank memes.

Pretty sweet that they let you keep your phone these days.

Yeah I kinda suspect that suppressing anything will just make them keep you longer to talks it out to you or wind up giving you the wrong medications. Hope you are coping mate.

I still haven't had psychotherapy for like 6 years now, one task today is to get in touch with an old counselling referral to set up something.

Just checked out the office place, people seem nice and I got free dog therapy. Will probably benefit me to get out the house and interacting with people on the reg again so probably will go forward from that and see what comes with it. Ongoing funding is a concern, but it's a 30 day notice rolling thing, so has pretty limited damage potential there.

They are keeping me another day which I was a bit annoying by but then I had another melty in the lounge area a couple of hours later so maybe for the best lol

I’m deffo busting out of here tomorrow though

Also I was listening to my classical playlist and Spotify just added hush as the next recommended song which is a real power play and I respect it

Read a book cover to cover, got all the feels out, another resident took some time to talk to me and give me a fist bump, eaten as much as I can

I feel a lot better

Maybe these brain people know what they are doing after all

Do your people know where you are?

Nope

Are you going to tell them what's going on?

Doubt it

Mentioned to my dad that I might be going through the system a bit and he said I can stay at his if I want but I asked him to keep it on the dl

I Feel okay because of the drugs, but I'm incredibly lonely.

I work in a 95% female workplace and I've even confessed how I feel to a couple of people.

Despite this nobody has invited me out socially in my 3 years of working there. I've tried to initiate things but I guess the social stigma of being friends with a straight man runs a bit too deep with some people.

Worse yet they know that I went through an incredibly difficult break up with my girlfriend that ended up with me having weeks and weeks off of work.

I feel like of someone else at work had gone through the same thing they would have received a lot more support from people.

I don't know what to do other than find another job and hope the people there aren't super sexist.

Feel like a bit of a drama queen considering what others are going through but it's slowly destroying my self confidence which will just send me on another downward spiral.

What hobbies do you have fade? is it worth looking out with your workplace for support.

Maybe, I did used to socialise via Pokémon Go when I lived in a bigger city, but even then people weren't very receptive when I tried to talk to them outside of playing the game. One guy I did chat with quite a bit got hung up on the fact my avatar was female :roll:

The point is I shouldn't have to feel like that. Everyone else at my workplace has friendships through work. People make a lot of assumptions about me because of my gender and it's becoming really bothersome.

I mean I work with kids and have not once been asked to babysit yet literally every woman there has been, even ones less qualified than me. I think we know why.

And like I appreciate it when parents get me gifts (a lot) but it's just another example of how sexist people are, all the women get flowers, candles and stuff from lush. I would love that gooseberry fool.

I'm really just getting so incredibly strawberry floating tired of it all. It feels like I'm being forced into this little box.

It seems like you really take pride in your work but feel frustrated at how others treat you.

when you say you feel "forced into a box" in what way?

What do you do fade?

Gender segregation is a strange one, and I feel it is often being flipped the other way now.

Sure, men are still the gender with the most advantage, the figures are there, and all the rest. But I suffer from this feeling as well a lot if it helps.

I get along with woman better, I like them more, I understand them more. But yet, they do this horrible thing every so often 'Girls night.' Where basically a group of my female friends will segregate me because I'm male. I don't want to go out drinking and being a nuisance with the lads, i hate that gooseberry fool. I would like to be invited around for pizza and wine, but no, I have balls s I can't do that.

In my workplace it's not so bad, but the women are definitely treated differently than the men. I'm in a strange situation where I live where I work, in a very MALE dominated environment, but my actual colleagues are mainly female. The men around camp see my female colleagues as eye candy they want to try to sleep with (and often do) and aren't interested in me at all because Im male.

HOWEVER, this is a bitter viewing of the whole thing. What if I tried to get to know these 'shallow' men and treated them all as individuals and actually came across as a bit more interesting? Would I be angry because they're shovenistic pricks, and treat my female colleagues like objects? Or would I realise we are all human and all individual and not all of them are not so bad?

One thing I do know is that my female colleagues have a reputation wide amongst the military for being easy girls to get with, and are pissed off about it. But I am really not surprised. However, again each girl is an individual too, and they're not all the same

Thing I reccommend for you fade, is yes you are probably in a segregated minority. But you have to stop feeling like the victim, accept your role, and try to change things. I am learning that about myself here too. People like me and want to spend time with me, just because I'm not an alpha male or an attractive female, does not mean I don't deserve the right to have friends and fit in.

I mean I feel like people expect me to act a certain way and make judgements about me because I'm a straight male. It's also not socially acceptable for me to treat my female co-workers in the same way other female co-workers would.

It's a lot of what you said Curls. Segregation because of my gender, people assuming I don't like 'girly' stuff.

Yes women have huge disadvantages in the workplace and from predatory men but in a social setting I think they have far more advantages than men do, and nobody ever seems to acknowledge that. Like as a woman you can literally wear whatever the strawberry float you want, do whatever you want and nobody will really judge you.

I am trying to change things but it's hard, they think me being vegetarian is weird :lol:

so I think social change will be a challenge.
