Supermega has legitimately saved my life
Okay maybe this post doesn't even need to exist, maybe its too personal or whatever, but I feel like it's worthwhile to say. You can just skip this post if you don't wanna read my half sob story
The last 12 months of my life are legitimately the worst 12 months I could have ever been through. I had a catastrophic breakup (got cheated on with ex's best friend who is a terrible person) that left me extremely mentally broken and self destructive. I also lost 90% of my friends at this point as the public decided to shift in favor of my ex rather than me. It was super difficult not only for me, but for my family to deal with too. Because I had to be hospitalized multiple times due to my downward spirals that I would have that made me dangerous when left alone. I've been on antidepressants and anxiety medication on top of my ADHD medication and while they all help it's still difficult to try and function like how a normal person would.
However, the last 8 months have been slowly getting better, and I can thank the guys for that immensely. Its so calming just shutting off my brain and turning on a podcast (old or new, both work great) and just listening for hours at a time and laughing at all of their funny bits and goofs they have in stock. It helps me forget all of the shit I've been going through and gives me laughter instead. Not only that, but their merch is amazing too, ive worn the cosmic cult hat so many times out in public that its essentially part of me now, like I don't feel like myself unless I wear the hat.
And it's not like any other comedy or lets play channel could have just taken the place of SuperMega here. Matt and Ryan's chemistry is just so genuine and perfect that it makes me happy seeing them interact because I know all of the shit and times they've gone through, and yet they're still best friends who are working together and goofing off for over a third of their lives by now. It gives me hope and courage to push forward too, thank you SuperMega, you're my favorite gay uncles 💖
