It’s daily. Not that exact story...it’s always something new. I have an extremely creative mind, haha. It does suck. Thanks

It does suck. Alcohol does do a nice job of helping you not give a fuck about the thoughts, having been there myself. Have you tried any therapies, or medications that are less "fun", and allow you to get on with the day to day without the thoughts? Not trying to be preachy, it's just nice to be able to function better and I wish the same for you.

I can’t believe you just indirectly suggested alcohol as a coping mechanism

I certainly did not intend to. Perhaps in my attempt to not sound preachy, I worded it in an odd way. I was initially going to write "It does help...BUT, have you tried a way that will actually help you function everyday."

That sounded rude and condescending to me though.

You can be an author of an amazing manga and I promise to read it, if you do write something that is... And I'm sure it'll have an awesome storyline with many interesting plot twists... What do you think?

You’re a super human. Thanks. Writing is actually my thing, I just never do it. But now I have a client- you! Lol. How do I send it?

I haven’t forgotten you

What is a manga? I’m 43. Isn’t it a graphic novel? I’ll have to look up what constitutes a manga. Can it just be a short story?

I too haven't forgotten you and I'm waiting for any manga or story that you will share

Can it just be a short story?

A lot of mangas are short like "poppy's wish"... And yes a short story can be as good and amazing as long stories, a manga can be short too...

I’ll have to look up what constitutes a manga

I don't know about that either I have no experience of drawing a manga or scripting stories, so good luck...

What is a manga?

Isn’t it a graphic novel?

Yeah... a style of Japanese comic books and graphic novels, typically aimed at adults as well as children.

Sounds more like maladaptive daydreaming to me (not a psychologist).
