It's kinda unfortunate in the mental health support communities most members are female, but being a single guy, especially in this age where even kids movies are filled to the brim with sexual innuendo is quite a feat to deal with every single day. Which is why male suicide success rates have always been higher than females, and is climbing exponentially. And its not necessarily even tied to a mental health diagnosis, even guys who have lived happy healthy lives find themselves in their 30s and 40s single and unable to bear the burden and shoot themselves.

Oh well, sooner or later we will all die and never have to feel bad again.

That was funny. The first part, I mean.

'Oh well, sooner or later we will all die and never have to feel bad again', indeed, and in the face of that why bother to feel bad at all?

We cannot escape death, it is coming for all of us, so whether we die tomorrow or in 60 years, it's the same outcome. Therefore, we might as well ENJOY each day because we will NEVER live this life again. We will NEVER be these people again. Our current forms are unique and our expressions are individually rare.

When I was in my teens, my driving instructor said "There's no use in speeding to a stop light." I thought to myself, wow that was deep, even though he literally just meant the stop light - it sounded more like a euphemism for life at a time when I was very depressed. He was right, there is no point in speeding to a stop light.

I went into the Men's-Focused Support myself (I didn't know that it existed) and felt very much the same way. It's too bad that there are not any good support groups online for guys who are single and about middle aged.

A few years ago I stumbled on a blog called "Always Single Middle Aged Woman". There were comments after the blog from women that felt the same way as the writer did. And there were many that commented. I liked the comments a lot because they were right to the point and hardly any vulgarity. I got in on it myself and had forgot that it was about women. Though a lot of women liked me commenting. I think that the trolls didn't like me commenting.

The problem with men's support groups online is that all they seem to talk about is sex. And there seems to be a lot of fighting on them. It's too bad. Recently there was one that I got on. And I expressed myself on how I feel about how my life is going. I got replies that were really awful. I wrote back saying that I was no longer interested in participating on there. On top of that, there were a lot of guys saying that they were married, had children, and wanted to explore homosexuality.
