Any gay men here who are also su!cidally miserable and lonely?

I've been betrayed by the gay community for being a su!cidal pessimist. Gay men are super judgmental, condescending and in general lack any kind of empathy, so I've been involuntarily ostracized of this community despite being a homosexual. I wonder if there are other gay guys who feel the same in this forum?

I'm a straight man, but I'm also suicidal and miserable if that helps. :)

I'm sorry to hear you've been ostracized.

Straight here, but a very open minded individual.

Sorry you are doing through this.

What is it that makes you suicidal?

Im a pansexual women, but I have a lot of friends in the gay leather community. Have you ever checked them out? They seem pretty woke on mental health.

I suffer from PTSD from school and work. I've been wanting to ctb for almost 11 years and it's been 8 years since my first attempt.

Sorry for what you've been through and are still going through.

Hope you find peace in this life or in death.

Assume you've tried all the usual stuff, counselling, CBT therapy, medications etc?

I don't think that's a gay male thing, just a human thing. They're all insufferably judgmental and ostracize you if you show any signs of being pessimistic/cyncial.

I'm in therapy now, once a week is not enough. One week for me is like an entire life for another person, there's so much going on, so much suffering I need to fight against. One hour session once a week is too little. If I ever reach a point my pain is small enough for one hour once a week session, I wouldn't go to therapy at all, because I can handle small problems that can wait a whole week. I either need 5 hour long session or nothing at all.

The gay community is terrible in my experience, be it general dignity or mental illhealth.

The community acts so cohesive and united in the public but the community is massively transphobic, racist, sexist and elitist behind the facade. I broke free of it years ago.

I don't think there's anything wrong with you, it's the LGB community that's a mess.
