I got divorced like 5 months ago after a 9 years with this girl who cheated on me, emotionally abused me, etc etc
I’ve been suicidal since the split, getting worse by the day still, and literally nobody ever asked if I was OK, aside from my mom. Even when I begged close friends for support they basically just ghosted me. My ex is surrounded by support, from the same people who I thought were my best friends.
Do I just have shitty people around me or is this just what guys deal with? The attitude towards me is just “get over it”. I’ve lost almost everyone I’m close to because of this and I’m starting to think there might actually be one viable option of getting over it because existing is simply torture. All of 2025 felt like just a bad dream but it’s unfortunately real.
Edit: Yes I have a counselor - a very good one I see weekly.
I am sorry to say that there is no logic behind suicide.
Logically speaking - that is, without emotions - death is not inherently better than life. There is no logical value added by death. You don’t need to choose to live, it just happens on its own. Trust me, it’s surprisingly hard to just wither away. The body doesn’t want to stop.
You would need to choose to die. If it is not inherently better to die than to live, then it is illogical to choose to do something that you do not have any reason to do.
It is only emotion that changes the equation. Emotionally speaking, it sounds like you currently feel that death would be better than life.
But it does not sound like you wanted to die before this year. At least, not nearly like this. If you did not feel this way before, than there is no logical reason to think you will always feel this way later.
It is therefore only temporary, it is only emotional, and it is exclusively a mental health issue that can be resolved with time and effort.
