Update: From feeling invisible because I'm a guy, to getting flooded with support. Thank you so much.

Hey everyone,

​I wanted to put out a quick update to my previous post and say a massive thank you to this sub. To be honest, when I posted earlier, I was at my absolute breaking point.

​Moving from Kerala to Yeshwanthpur, I found myself completely isolated without a single friend. On top of that, the last 3 days have been a complete nightmare. I just found out that my 5-year relationship is over because she was cheating on me. Mentally, I was feeling totally devastated, drained, and non-functional. When I finally gathered the strength to seek help from a psychiatrist, the experience was deeply dismissive—they just handed me a prescription for sleeping pills instead of actually listening to the trauma I was facing. I didn't want to sedate myself; I just needed someone to talk to.

​Feeling completely invisible, broken, and desperate, I made that post. And honestly, the way you all stepped up blew me away.

​My DMs were flooded with genuine warmth, empathy, and support. You all listened when a professional wouldn't, and you proved that there are still amazing people here who care when someone is down. To everyone who reached out to check on me, offer advice, or just connect—thank you. You have no idea how much you helped me get through this dark phase.

​I’m slowly replying to everyone. Proud to be a part of this community now. Thanks again!
