i've been a neet since i was 18, im 24 now and im about to kill myself. there is a small part of me that wants to fix my life and not kill myself but it is very small and gets overwhelmed easily. i feel like i need to talk to a male figure that I respect and for them to help me make a plan to fix my life. i tried talking to a therapist a few times but i can't do it with just some guy i dont know who is doing it as a job. every male i know is christian and their solution to mental problems is be christian, which doesn't work for me no matter how hard ive tried. the only person i can think of is my cousin on the other side of the country, and i basically just hung out there for a week soon before I became a neet, and after i went back home they texted me and i never responded because i am really bad at phones and we have never spoken since then. how bad and disruptive would it be for me to contact them? i feel like it would be extremely stressful to have someone you barely know suddenly contact you about wanting to kill themselves and asking for help
>>32593421Without knowing what type of guy your cousin is, it's impossible to know whether he'd be stressed out by you contacting him. He might be off-put by it, or maybe he'd be totally onboard with helping you. From experience, I've been on the receiving end of a message like that and it can be overwhelming. For me, I barely had my own life together and still don't. When I got those messages from this person, it ultimately hurt my relationship with him because I didn't take the time to unpack all of it with him. It's not like I dislike the guy, it's just awkward now.When I was your age I became passively suicidal. I'm 26 now, so not much older but I'm not suicidal anymore. I also hate therapists, never tried them. What helped me was using fictional characters that I could relate to as role models. I haven't "fixed" my life exactly, but it's a lot less painful now.
hell no dude, i was you until 28 now i have a job and everything. i'd say at least wait till 30 before making that call
>>32593421Don't kill yourself. Grow up and be old and miserable and a hinderance to society at least. don't let them win.
>>32593421Instead of being christian go to gymGym is religion
>>32593421You've got the right instincts, as you say yourself it seems like you're missing some sort of male role model, and maybe more company in general. I don't really know who can help you but I'm pretty sure there are many old dudes on youtube that make videos for younger men to provide them with some wisdom. Maybe you can find someone you can look up to. And like the other anons said, it may be helpful to "channel" a role model and hit the gym depending on your situation. My fathers dead but sometimes I think I should devote more time to remembering him
>>32593421This is an absolute last resort OP but before you do it try psychedlics. And I mean try that after everything else is exhausted, I know people this has worked for.
