He isn’t responding but, before I tried reaching him, his WhatsApp showed he was last online 8:42 am PST.
It now shows he was on it at 11:42 am PST. About a hour after I first called. I’m guessing he deleted the thread. It’s late on his side. I’ll try reaching out to him later.

I hope he's alright, also. I hope he's going to wake up and see some responses in this thread, so he knows he's wanted.

I hope so too ! This planet were on ain’t the easiest place to live at times, sometimes life kicks you in the nuts so many times you feel like wtf... I know I’ve been there before, no shame whatsoever I totally get it. I’m thinking he was just having an unusually crappy day, made that post, then came back and deleted it later. Unload on us Boomslang, you’re not alone amigo.

For as much as alliances and adversaries form online, the one thing you never know about who you're interacting with is, the burden they're possibly carrying.
Rings true in the real world as well.

Man, we need Boomslang around here.

More importantly, his family and friends need him.

Boomslang messaged me. He wanted me to let everyone know he’s still here. He didn’t respond to my response but, I’m just passing it along.

I’ve not been on here much the last few weeks. Don’t know for sure what’s going on, but stay strong Boom.

I,m exhausted been up since 4am 7 days a week grind is brutal. If I remember rt his Mom has dementia for a few yrs and his Dad is old with health issues. And Boom is across the the country from them
Working. My family always really sucked. I mentioned we should b able to adopt each other as adults. Find a replacement for them. I missed my Dutch grandparents that both died in 01 along with all family members in connection. I just got replacements these Eastern European people I work- communicate with r very interesting and fun. I had a Dutch old gal for a few yrs but I think she died.

Sorry gents...my head...I think the timing is out...running lean. I've had issues with depression, anxiety and pstd but have been doing good the past year until another swerve...

I'm not good, I'm not well and ML's post "the he last saw me 2 min ago" got me back into the green. Thank you for caring ML and ya all. That made me ghost my post and I woke up to another sunrise.

One of you mentioned that I have ghosted before. Yes I have. I self moderate if I think I've been a dick or have said something thoughtless. I do my best not to offend.

With that said, I'm still in the shit and at 52 time has run out. I have no clear path ahead.

There is no fix and I honestly look forward to another dimension.

Eh, I’m 53 and in the same position. Some days, I think about exiting stage left. But there’s still something inside me that says the best days are coming.

Crap doesn’t last forever. Blink and you’ll wonder how you got on top of the world.

Boom, we’ve all been there brother and some of us still visit that location sometimes, myself included. What I’ve noticed is sometimes it only takes a kind gesture or remark from a family member or even a random stranger to shift your whole way of thinking to the positive. It’s so darn easy to go down that rabbit hole of darkness. Especially when you’re by yourself. I try to immerse myself in a hobby and reach out to people when I’m feeling extra sad. We’re all rooting for you brother.

Boom, you gotta hang in there! Things change, sometimes you get caught up in how bad things are and it might take everything you've got, but it does get better. Not overnight. Sometimes we get really shitty cards to work with
but you have to stay in the game. I know hearing how bad other people had things doesn't make you story any easier, but one thing that we have in common is, it changes, and it gets better.

I'm 46 and have often figured that the grind has beaten me and it would be easier to just not BE any more. It's a simple solution to a complex situation. But you'd pass the pain around to all those that love you, and I stick around....and then life brightens a little and I'm thankful I'm right side up. We ALL struggle with it, I don't care who you are. Hang in there -

I can honestly say that I've never been suicidal....homicidal...oh yeah. Come the fuck on Boom. You're a smart dude, skilled, crafty, huge weiner, bbq master, and from what I've seen...liked by decent folks. The world needs guys that tell adversity to get fucked. You were put here to make a difference...your job ain't done.Wink

Keep on trucking bro, plenty of sunrises to look forward to. I just keep taking the boots to the nuts hopeful for things to get better and grateful I’m still breathing.
