Hey Man, How's it Going?

A question asked of me 3 times today, and a question I couldn't answer honestly because its intent was not to really know. So, because Im feeling down, its time for a little self-therapy and Ill ask the question of myself vloggity vlog style.

Yeah, its long, but the video is for my benefit, not yours, so deal with it.

i discovered your clip because of "theAtheistAntidote2". Perhaps we don't share the same beliefs about God, but I wish to tell you that I too had so called "plans" for my life. I waited 'til I was 35 to get married for the 1st time. I've also wanted & still desire to be a father, even now at 47. In 2003 my wife decided to divorce me. Divorce sucks & I would not wish it on my worst enemy. I'm not perfect. None of us are. I believe your life is not over and you can get through this... peace :)

Take care of yourself. Life can be a bitch...Easy to say. Hard to live through.

If you take a look at the Holmes and Rahe stress scale, divorce is second only to death of a spouse-which is the number one cause of stress. Adding in other stress values can give you an idea of the level of stress you are experiencing. Eating and sleeping right may seem small, but this helps to reduce stress. Keep in touch with your support network of family and friends and hang on-it does get better as time passes.

divorce sucks. i should know, i've had 2 - the feeling of loss isn't just limited to losing a person/relationship, its also everything you'd predicated on that, and the whole "what am i gonna do now?" feeling can really bite.

words of consolation only go so far. you're gonna feel crappy until you don't anymore, that's just how it is. sorry you are going through such things. you deserve happiness.

This is the best YT video I've seen in a long time, it's rare to see such raw honesty. My life has been a wild roller coaster ride and I have been in some very and I mean very difficult spots. Your life could be total shit from here on out, but I can easily see a " .... and that's how your mother and I met" in there too. (thumbs up,subbed)

I used to think that way, TA...saying, "How's it going," as a turn of phrase as opposed to actually asking a sincere question. Unfortunately, using such a turn of phrase insincerely virtually guarantees a continuing superficial discussion. The result is that they remain alone with their problem as you, also, will remain alone with your problems if all your friends don't really care.

Concerning your present situation...be the type of person that you would like to have as your own friend.

hey keep your head up man. i can't imagine what it is like to get divorced. i think it's supposed to hurt for a while. i think your just in the worst emotional place and know that the pain will subside in due time. much love. all the best.

and remember, when you get out of this funk, your going to go to a bar and take home some strange, and you will feel much better. lol

16 minutes isn't long to me :) 1 hour would be long. Anything less than that I enjoy listening to while doing laundry and other chores. <3
