Driverless car on a lonely road

[PaintThinner]

Hey! My name is Eugene and I live in a country where people with mental health issues are despised and heavily ignored. There's absolutely no support for people with depression, addictions, anxiety, and so on. If your mental illness doesn't pose any danger to others, you're all alone — nobody will give a flying fuck about your everyday suffering. Suicide rate in my country is off the charts. I wonder if they start to sell DIY guillotine kits soon. One could make a fortune on that.
I came here, because I couldn't find any fans of the podcast in real life. I'd love to meet anyone who speaks the Russian language here. That would be fantastic!
I'm depressed most of the time. I don't take any medications for the reasons mentioned above. Luckily, I have a couple of really close friends — we meet up every friday, smoke weed, drink alcohol and talk about everything in the world. We also play sports and sometimes travel together. I would be dead by now if not for them or in an unhappy marriage which is slightly worse.
My relationships with the opposite sex always ended painfully for the both parties. I'm still struggling to overcome my abandonment and intimacy issues. It sucks.
Well, that's it for now. Remember, you're not alone! Thank you for reading!

I know next to nothing about Kazakhstan, but I'm all too familiar with depression, welcome Eugene!
