One of my best friends who was my roommate from freshman year through junior year of college today, hurting pretty bad. The fifth person I know that’s passed to OD’s. Any advice on how to get back on my feet? Sad boi skier vibes over here... /:
 
Talk to someone.

Whether it's a friend, family member, professional, you don't have to deal with this on your own. Just find a willing ear.
 
I feel you man. It's tough. I've lost a lot of friends the last few years. Best thing I can say is remember the good times. If he comes to your mind and makes you smile that's great, if ut turns on your and makes you wanna cry or be sad that's fine too.

Loss is tough. Keep doing shit that makes you happy. It's ok to be down. It's ok to feel shit. There's no time frame you need to get over it. Every person and situation is different. Hang in there man!

Sorry about your friend. RIP
 
I’m so sorry man. There are truly no words. I lost my brother to an OD a few years ago, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Talk to someone about it. Tell someone what you’re feeling and know that there is hope. Things will get better, even if they aren’t the same. Rest In Peace to your homie and best wishes to you, his family and friends as you all heal.

my messages are always open if you wanna chat or need a distraction ?
 
Thanks to you all fr❤️❤️ I’ve talked to friends and my mom but might reach out to some professors im close with, I think that could be useful... luh u all ???
 
Damn man that’s awful to hear, good to hear you are talking about it though. It really only gets easier with time I guess but in the meantime, think about the time you shared together and enjoy the fact that you had and still have people so great in your life
 
Yeah bro, props to you for talking about it. It really sucks to lose a close friend, and knowing it was an OD can make it worse. just think about the good times and stay on the bright side. Hang in there bro
 
Damn man sorry to hear that any sort of loss is tough, when its your best friend its different. Try and keep your head up and remember the good times. Maybe reach out to his family to make sure they know you care, theyre going through it too.
 
i'm sorry to hear that man. something i do to memorialize people who were close to me is to do stuff that reminds me of them, and make sure their good aspects and characteristics live on. whatever you believe, that person hasn't left your life if their spirit and and personality live on through you and others

my more general suggestions are to take it easy on yourself, take it day by day, and try to talk about it with people if you want to-- humans benefit from "venting" a ton

time will take the sharp edge off, slowly but surely. if anyone reading this ever needs to talk to someone, you're always welcome to private message me on here. i used to work at a suicide hotline and 95% of calls are not suicide situations at all, they are "just" people that need to talk about something and you wouldn't believe how much people benefit from talking, even with a stranger

no man is an island OP. your close ones likely want to help but aren't sure how to approach you about it. you'll get through this and you'll be a more capable person coming out of it
