I've also been struggling with depression for the past few months, and have had some serious difficulty getting/staying motivated to do anything besides lay in bed (especially the last few weeks). So much so that I realized a few days ago that I'm nowhere near prepared for the business trip that I'm going on this week, and there's a good possibility it's going to turn into a major fucking fiasco this time next week when we blow past our deadline for completing the controls upgrade. I'm panicking so hard that every time I try to focus and get my shit done NOW while it's still (somewhat) recoverable, that I basically go IMFUCKEDIMFUCKEDIMFUCKED, hyperventilate, and have to "work" on something else to calm back down. Currently trying to divide it down to manageable chunks, so I can get as many chunks done before leaving Friday as possible, and hopefully pick up the pieces as they fall over the weekend and early next week.

I can do this. I think.

Come to Vancouver and we can have a, "Fuck Depression in the Ass" Pow-wow :3 We can support each other and defeat this slump!

BC We can terrorize her if it makes you feel better.

Grandfather just passed away. Wasn't unexpected, but it's still not the sort of news that's easy to hear.

I'm so sorry to hear that. My sympathies friend. <3

I've been slowly slipping into depression for the last 2 weeks or so. It ironically sped up when I realized that I'm a lot like Katniss from the Hunger Games trilogy. The last few days I just stare at the world wondering how many people I could kill before getting caught. This probably doesn't warrant posting in this thread, but I need to vent.

Well, if this is legit depression (pill here depression), I can't help you, there are professionals for that. If this is, I'm lonely, bored, my life isn't going anywhere kind of depression, I can give you some advice.

Set yourself a few goals. You need at least one short term and one long term goal. For me my short term goal was to continue gaining strength with my lifting. It's part of a long term goal to reach my ideal body. Also, another one of my goals was to keep applying for work. I need a job/career to function.

I would highly recommend some sort of physical activity to help you. For me, seeing the amount of weight I add on each side of the bar increase helped me tremendously. Maybe you're a stereotypical girl and you think that one night you're going to accidentally touch a barbell and suddenly you'll have arms bigger than Arnie. That doesn't really happen but I'm not going to try to argue with you in this situation. Running is a great way to see progression as well. You'll start feeling less shitty when you walk up stairs (this part is implying you don't run already), you'll start being able to run farther. Whatever you do, it's the simple aspect that you need to push yourself to do what you don't think you can do. It just gives you something to look forward to when you don't think you have anything.
Masturbation also helps.

I decided to take up archery (yes Katniss), seeing as how Vancouver is not the best surf location.

It's more though the fact that I can't really seem to connect with anyone anymore. I've become really negative towards most people in my life, including my girlfriend. I try to keep my comments to myself, but occasionally they slip out. They've been really bad too. I'm afraid I'm pushing her away, and yet I'm afraid to stay with her as well. I'm becoming increasingly disconnected from the world. THe only person I've had a positive conversation with in the last week is Didzo. I feel like I'm rambling at this point but LT Crow is right, saying it helps me out.

I'm not a big fan of masturbation... Though lately I've been dreaming about doggy style.

Makes sense. Though I've always had some kind of negative outlook on the world.  iamkatnisseverdeenmegusta.jpg

My condolences, Didzo.  I know how you feel.  My grandfather died in February.  Same deal, really.  It wasn't unexpected.  In my grandfather's case, it was Parkinson's.  It is a terrifying thing.

Personally, I'm not religious, so I thought about it this way:  He had a long life.  It was better than most.  He did great things, raised a great family, and overall, everything was great.  Most people don't get that much, so from a gaming perspective, he got a high score.  Right on, grandpa.

So, same to you, Didzo's grandfather.  High score, indeed.

I hate having to mooch internet off work for a week to talk to people, internet is at new apartment now, so that's over.

unless u have an astrology class I fail to see how a class could go later than 10:30 p.m

My astrology class is right after my class on tea leaf reading. We drink the class materials so I can stay up just fine.

I'm pretty depressed right now. I got one of the worst grades in my life in my drafting class even though I was getting positive feedback all semester and wrote and rewrote my final paper many times after looking through all the feedback I had gotten and all the rules we were supposed to follow, etc. There is literally no explanation I can think of for why I got such a low grade, I thought for sure I had at least an A-.

I also got an A- in a class that I "booked" (meaning I was the best in the class in). I was tied for the book so I guess he gave out only one A, but at this point I can't help but feel I'm just getting trolled.

At least I got A's in all my other classes though.

protip: as far as job prospects go, grades in law school don't matter. being networked with established lawyers in fields that you want to practice is paramount.

of course both are poorly correlated with whether one would actually be a good lawyer.
