It's a shame this thread is in the community-section.

One of these days someone will feel the need of being heard, read and understood, and when it's so inactive, things can go wrong.

The thread isn't inactive... it's just hard to find in community, sadly. People don't look into community threads to browse, they look into OT to browse. Community is for threads that already have a following/subscribers... we were were opposed to being put into Community, since we are SUPPOSED to be a "come and go" kind of crowd. Optimally, we'd have no continuous followers, except those willing to help... but oh well.

2.) Mother Bear's Pizza

motherbear.gif


Right on campus in Bloomington, Indiana - the town I grew up in, went to college in, and where my parents still live. Their deep dish is soooooooo good! After dating for a little while, this was the place my wife and I kept coming back to. It has a great college vibe, the breadsticks are amazing, it's a campus institution...what more do you need to say?

As someone who lurks this thread, I am happy to see a reminder of some of my college years in it! When I went to IU Bloomington, I roomed in Forest Dorm which was a 5 minute walk from Mother Bears and had that pizza every weekend it seemed, along with all of us who were undergrad music majors. I left after two years as it didn't work out but I still miss Bloomington very much.

5.) Going for broke on the mumble server

We had one particular night in our voice chat in which MikeDip consented to demonstrate his techniques for asking out women, with AgentCooper brilliantly playing a series of increasingly unhinged ladies, from which I am yet to recover. I have not laughed that hard in a very long time. We have plans to do it again, as everyone who was there agreed that it was basically the funniest thing that had ever happened on planet Earth.

My characters were perf. *files nails*

Edit: I am beginning to think my mom avoids and dismisses all my personal medical concerns so she doesn't have to pay money about it. It's easy to deny everything I bring up and she does it for everything...

Can I just take myself to the doctor's with my insurance card?
 
Turns out that several of the people I considered friends were really just being complete dickheads a large portion of the time to me, and I only put up with it to have people to hang out with since most people went away to college and it's harder to meet people when commuting.

Always treating me like garbage, never listening to me, always making jokes at my expense ("lol [person] is dumber than [me] and that's saying something!"). It really just hit me hard when I realized it, especially when they wanted me to help (aka do myself) with a website for something, but continually berated me for being dumb or lazy or whatever. And I'm almost certain it also happened to someone I used to be friends with. He just stopped talking and dealing with this same group of people. So now I follow his suite. Fuck them. I own their domain they want to use, and will continue to own it lest they want to pay me for it. Not going to pull it out from under them yet, but I'm glad I own that power over them right now.

I had already been feeling really crappy lately, with being sick and dealing with other unrelated stuff, this really set me over the edge. Now I just feel like I have no one to talk to at the moment, though this nice girl I met through tumblr and had been conversing with offered me her number if/whenever I needed to talk, so that made me feel somewhat better.

I graduate next spring and then hopefully I'll be able to get a job away from here. But man if it isn't going to be lonely.

The fact that you're even planning on becoming lonely, means you can handle it.

Being lonely isn't that hard when you know it's for the better. Sometimes it's better to stay home and become a better person than being out and pouring gasoline on fires.
 
Fucking horrible day with one exception. Until now, I haven't had more than 5 minutes of peace ALL DAY since about 9am. I had to get up at 5am but was able to go back to sleep for a couple of hours. All day I've been running around, being called on to do stuff without any rest. To top it off, I had a small, measly lunch and there's really not much else to eat in the house.

The exception to this was I had to go help a neighbor out with their computer around 10am and I made a small amount of cash which was cool. Neighbors are really nice and even asked if I needed more money than they gave me but I refused it. Other than that, it's been a rotten day. In fact, it's been so bad I had a small breakdown.
 
Having completed the piano piece (and never thinking I would.. and perhaps even hoping I wouldn't), I've told myself that there's more for me to say. Problem is, I'm not sure if it's true. I'm scared that I'll be writing the same thing over and over again, as my life stagnates and the emotions remain boiling on the surface.

I'm just so angry. And sad. I dodge Facebook as much as possible because all of my musician colleagues are posting about their gigs, living it up and entertaining their audiences. I want to be happy for them. I want to say that it doesn't matter who performs the music as long as someone does but that's not true. I want it to be me. I need it to be me.

I try to compensate for it by writing music but no one cares. It's all in a vacuum. I express myself, forcefully and people shrug. Maybe I have nothing worth saying after all.

I want to believe that there's a reason to continue living. Without dreams, without hope, it just feels like an endless slog towards whatever is left. Life is what it is but there are times when death seems more inviting.

(Side note: do NOT go into the Attack on Titan thread on GAF, it'll spoil the shit out of you)

Yeah I know. It's just the build up to being lonely that has me slightly spooked and sad, but it's going to be for the better, I guess.

Post 5 things that make life worth living for you! If that's too hard, do 3, or even just 1!
Click to expand...

The Belief That I Can Do Something Worthwhile
My whole life it's been expected that I would be someone great. That I would go to an Ivy League school, make a lot of money and support/run my family's finances, etc. My high school teacher literally thinks I'm going to chance the world in some way. In a way, I think my depression is a means of running away from such expectations. I've already failed at so many - maybe on purpose. But I guess deep down a part of me does think I have the insight, creativity, and ability to do something important. If I don't, then what's the point of living? I once told my boyfriend that I felt like I was constantly living for other people and not myself. And while I do love being there for others and the people in my life are an incredible driving force, I don't want them to be the only one.

My Significant Other
I considered putting this first because really, day to day, what keeps me from going crazy and what makes me look forward to each day is my incredible boyfriend whom Bagels wishes he could steal. It's kind of ridiculous how much even just a Facebook message from him makes me smile. It's a level of companionship I never thought I'd be able to experience with anyone, let alone someone who's so amazing.

Friends
I used to be someone who never had anyone to call, text, hang out with. I would go to school - not say a word to anyone. Just sit there and cry. In the last few years, this has changed so drastically. I seriously think I might have the best support group ever. And GAF and this thread are definitely part of that. Everyone is just so fun, smart, funny, and kind that I'm not sure it's fair to know so many awesome people. Oddly enough, being diagnosed with cancer made that much more apparent. Not just that these people are just great human beings, but that they decide to share it with me. I owe them and you all so much for believing in me and investing your time, energy, and love in me.

Stories
I believe stories are the most powerful force in the universe. Religion, history, the stories we tell about other people, the stories we tell ourselves about well... ourselves. We're constantly surrounded by media. We thirst for it but not just because of our consumer culture. There is no culture on this Earth that does not tell stories. It's the way we survive. It's the way we learn. It's what gives us the ability to imagine something better for ourselves. It's what gives us the ability to gain some little bit of understanding in all this chaos.

Batman
My favorite story is that of Batman. You could probably say it's my religion in a way. That sounds crazy, but it's true. At it's very core, Batman is about one thing. Our negative experiences, the flaws of our genetics, the terrible and unexplainable shit that we're subjected to: none of that means we can't be good, even great, people. I always find it funny that people think Batman shows those who are mentally ill in a bad light. It's the opposite: The single greatest human beings to exist are an adopted family of traumatized, scarred people who suffer from a range of mental (and physical) illnesses. As dumb as it is, I find that empowering and it's a message that's helped me through quite a bit.

What an awesome guy. He is the best and I'm very sorry for making fun of him all the time (which he does NOT cry about)! I should really treat him better because I am super lucky to know someone that awesome (and handsome!). And no, Bagels did not edit this part in, but even if he did, I, Pau, still mean it in my heart, so it counts.

Bagels, you know I love you. Your edit is completely accurate. :)

Going back to the whole Batman theme: I don't feel particularly close to most of my biological family. I blame them for a lot of my issues. I guess it's another reason why I love Batman so much: your family is the people who love and support you, no need for blood ties. And yes Bagels, of course I consider you to be the older brother I never had. <3

Which means I'm allowed to throw my boogers at you. :3

I feel like that when I write things too, that it's just the same old same old with a slight variation inwords. But you're not doing this for them, you're doing it for you. As long as you get something positive out of it, it's enough.

You had me until Batman. Cause...you know...*looks at my avatar* :p
 
1. Music - its scary to think where I'd be without it.
2. Stars - one of my deepest instinctual pleasures is watching the night sky whenever possible.
3. Experiences - they are what for me, life is all about. Learned long ago that it's experiences you reflect on as you age, ive just only begun to be able to embrace it.
4. Driving (specifically empty side roads) - again another pure pleasure. Action that is engaging and puts my mind at ease while thrilling, given how playful im feeling at the time.
5. People - this is a bit of a difficult one to explain. There are so many instances of staying at home to stay away from crowds and people and everything, however even staying at home I seem to always be engaged with someone in some capacity, whether it gaf, steam or whatever.
I really dislike a whole lot about the human race, but the goodness of some people I've met along the way have planted seeds of optimism into that thought.

Cheers

Post 5 things that make life worth living for you! If that's too hard, do 3, or even just 1![/B]
Click to expand...

1. Devil May Cry 3 Video games!

tumblr_mq96puutCf1qlwdmno3_250.gif


I've been playing video games since I was 3. My first game ever was Sonic The Hedgehog on the Sega Genesis, along with Vectorman. Ah, good times. I'm particularly drawn to shooty ones, fighty ones and mmo ones. There's something special about them I can't quite place my finger on, but it's by far my favorite hobby. I seldom read books / comics or watch television / movies as I'd rather be playing a game. It's hard to tell why exactly, but I love them so. I want to make one before I die.

2. Music

tumblr_mqlxf1Clap1sbixpco1_400.gif


Mostly metal. Music is cool and lets you be anything you want and go anywhere you want. It's fun. Here's a few tracks from different genres I like:

Artillery - By Inheritance (Thrash)
Suffocation - Synthetically Revived (Death)
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (Traditional)

...Okay okay, I do listen to stuff besides metal I swear!

Aphex Twin - Alberto Balsalm (Trip-hop)
Erik Satie - Gymnopedie No. 1 (Classical)
Blackstar - Respiration (Rap)
Kate Bush - Cloudbusting (Pop)
Alexisonfire - Adelleda (Post-Hardcore)

3. Superheroes

tumblr_m0f3y7UyEP1rqg28co1_400.gif

tumblr_m8tt9xQYVB1rt2h44o1_500.jpg


I've only very recently been getting into DC / Marvel
DC is da bess
. I've always been a fan of shounen growing up. Maybe I just like seeing cool fights but I looooovvvvveeeee superheroes.

4. Granny Smith Apples

tumblr_mqawrfoh4z1rx49rso3_250.jpg


This shit is delicious, however do not type that into tumblr. I stumbled upon something that shall not be repeated.

5. Rice Cookers

You should record an album, put it up on bandcamp and share it with GAF. I think most people here would be more than willing to listen to what you want to say, and I'm sure everyone would love it. :) You might not be playing live in front of them, but music has the power to help people in ways that I don't believe can be expressed with words. It can help so very much. Keep writing, expressing yourself, and sharing. If you want to play live, the first step is hard, but I've no doubt you can do it. Your music is wonderful, don't be afraid.

My psychiatrist had the "great" idea to have me try a tricyclic antidepressant (doxepin) for my anxiety in combination with regular antidepressant (Lexapro). Ugh, slept 12 hours and still feel kind of numb and tired. Not taking this shit again tonight. I see why tricyclics were phased out.

Edit: Also, I got off Lyrica last night too. Helped with my anxiety somewhat, but the drowsiness was too much.

As a special service, because of how much I wuv you all, I'm offering up this premade list of incredible things to live for. Mix 'n match your own top 5!

Chocolate - who doesn't love chocolate? (white chocolate is not chocolate and is not a reason to live).

Sunny days

A nice rainy day

Video games - especially NES classic River City Ransom, or Secret of Mana (the GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME!)

Bagels (the guy) - "Gosh, what an INCREDIBLE human being. I, -insert name here-, barely deserve his friendship and I want to gaze deeply into his eyes and buy him a pudding pop."

Bagels (the food AND the guy)

The smell of sawdust

Dreams where you're flying

Stadium hotdogs (without ketchup, obviously)

Surfing? I dunno.

Singing in the car

Kitties/Puppies/Froggies - cute little animals whose names end in "ies"

Good TV

Bad TV

That time we kissed in the jardin du luxembourg in Paris and you told me you'd never let me go and then we broke up LITERALLY 6 minutes later. I've never forgiven you.

IMAX movies

Bonfires

Maple Syrup (for MikeDip)

Friendship

Driving your enemies before you and hearing the lamentations of their women

Iced Coffee

Bagels (special ladies' edition) - "That is one handsome man and it is a real struggle to keep things platonic!"

Gazing longingly at Pau's boyfriend (or is that just me?)

Surprise parties

A new shirt that is comfy and fits perfectly

Making someone laugh

Grindcore Muppets Videos (for humbugs)

Boats and assorted nautical stuff

Unexpectedly doing something impressive in a pickup sports game

This Radiohead cover of "Nobody Does it Better" - they cut off the part where Thom Yorke goes, "this is the sexiest song that was ever written!"

Getting a compliment

Flirting

Tea

Discovering a great beer

Drinking too much Jägermeister and telling people about your penis (unnamed person, whose name rhymes with "Shmecide")

Me - Bagels, and how great I am. Don't think I mentioned that one yet.

Being Scottish

Breakfast at a diner

A great book

Blueberries

Taking a day to just be a completely lazy bum

Finishing a big project

That news clip where the guy says, "keep fucking that chicken." Incredible.

Getting to know incredible people, for however long. Here's a song my friend's band recorded before he passed away - "Cloudplay of Canada"
 :,)

A really good sneeze

We all need to go to Bloomington and I will buy the pizza!

My psychiatrist had the "great" idea to have me try a tricyclic antidepressant (doxepin) for my anxiety in combination with regular antidepressant (Lexapro). Ugh, slept 12 hours and still feel kind of numb and tired. Not taking this shit again tonight. I see why tricyclics were phased out.

Edit: Also, I got off Lyrica last night too. Helped with my anxiety somewhat, but the drowsiness was too much.

Doxepin does have a reputation for causing fatigue. But those effects can get better. I've never been as tired in my life as I was when I started Parnate. That effect has completely gone away now.

Superheroes are the shit. If you want any recommendations for comics, movies, or shows, let me know! Gotta use my vast superhero knowledge for something. :P

A nice rainy day

The smell of sawdust

Singing in the car

Kitties/Puppies/Otters - cute little animals whose names end in "ies"

Bonfires

Yes to all of these.

Gazing longingly at Pau's boyfriend (or is that just me?)

It's not just you. Except I get to do more than just gaze. ;)

That time we kissed in the jardin du luxembourg in Paris and you told me you'd never let me go and then we broke up LITERALLY 6 minutes later. I've never forgiven you.

Okay this one is suspiciously specific. D:

I don't know how much more clear I could be that everyone is supposed to pick my name from 1-4 times. This is not that hard! >:[

I can be rather slow. :(

This is a random thought. Is anyone interested in a DepressionGAF book club? I just got back into reading and I want to share!
 
My five things, sorry I am late:

1. Family. My kids, my sister and brothers, my mom and pa.

2. Fandom. Fanfiction, vidding, squee. I know it's weird, but fandom has saved my life so many times, y'all, it's ridiculous.

3. Food. I know I don't seem like it with as little as I eat, but I love to eat good food.

4. Friends. Mostly you guys. Since I have no friends in real life that I can interact with on a constant basis (yet). You know who you are.

5. My dogs. I know, I couldn't think of another F :p When I'm sad or lonely, my Badger will refuse to leave my side, and that's amazing. This tiny little creature loves me with everything he is.
