Well, I fear I may be an alcoholic, hurrah, WINNAR.

/drunk.

 

[Alucard]

Chin up, boy.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being clinically depressed/suicidal and 1 being perfectly happy with life, I'm about a 4.5 at the moment.

 

[MrCheez]

Everyone is depressed these days. Especially on the internet. It's so much more hip to be happy and optimistic!

 

[Lambtron]

On Alucard's scale, I hung around a 7-9 for most of my life.

These days? 2. Hot stuff.

 

[beerbelly]

Lose the internet connection and it's easy access to porn. Then you'd be too busy jerking off to anything remotely 'sexy' to be depressed.

 

[SKluck]

Big fat 0. And by that I mean not at all. I've moved on.

 

[MrCheez]

Seriously though, I'm usually a 1 or 2 if we're going to use a happiness scale. I just tell myself not to dwell on things and simply get over them. *shrug*

However, helping other people with depression and trying to give good advice has always been important to me.

 

[Suerte]

Well the only person I ever loved dumped me after a month and has started seeing someone else, soooo.... depressed drunk right here!

 

[tedtropy]

A jerk-off a day keeps the sadness away. I just try to look at my life as an on-going project to improve who I am...keeps me busy, and it makes me feel better about myself in the process. There are so many things to do and learn in this world, you just have to will yourself out of those ruts. Along the way, you're likely to meet, and sometimes inevitably lose, some important people. I know this all sounds glib, but I assure you, it's true. Oh, and like my first sentence dictates - masturbate frequently and furiously.

This was also a few months ago and I still can't get over it.

Sucks man, sorry to hear it. If you have anyone you can talk to, you should.

Things will get better with time, just keep that in mind.

 

[White Man]

I used to be the paragon of depression. Now I'm alright. I blame the pacific northwest for my newfound disappreciation of listening to Lou Reed's Berlin on repeat. Hell, I think my Joy Division records will get less play this holiday season than I could've previously imagined. Yay changing your life!

 

[Deleted member 1235]

not at all.

SNAP OUT OF IT.

You know, it's funny how much effect music can have on your outlook on life. When I was super depressed I would drown myself in The Bends and OK Computer by Radiohead, which didn't really help matters. Now, I'm all about inspirational post-rock by the likes of Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai. (Mogwai Fear Satan = instant happiness)

 

[Suerte]

See, I'd talk to my friend but i'd think they'd just think I was a drunken twat, which they do most of the time. Bleh, the guy turned out to be a twat so I'm not sure why I keep thinking about him. Wish I had never fucking met the cunt. I need to stop drinking, gah.

 

[etiolate]

I'll always be 'depressed' because the world is depressing. I wouldn't want to lose that, because... who would feel the need to make things better then?

 

[Blackie]

I'm at a 0 right now.

Don't get so dramatic and hung up on assholes like that old flame of yours. I know it's easier advice to give then to take, but you'll get over it. You seem like a pretty cool dude, I'm sure you'll find someway way better than that guy anyway.

 

[Star Power]

On Alucard's scale, I'm like an 9 at most, and like a 3 at least. It fluctuates all of the time...

See, I'd like to find better but in my books, he was pretty much the definition of perfect. It's too fucking hard to find a decent guy so I figure there's no point in looking anymore. If it's meant to happen, it'll happen. I can't wait to go back to uni to try keep my mind off things like this! Anyway, starting to sober up now at least, hurrah.

Hey do you live in Socal? I once knew of a "Blackie" Then again the internet is huge and "blackie" isn't that distinct.

 

[Alucard]

Man, that stuff happens to the best of us. And it was just a MONTH. You'll heal in time. Trust me. I thought I had found the perfect girl for myself when I was 19. That was 4 years ago and I still occassionally think about her. Actually, we still talk online from time to time just to catch up on our lives and stuff. When she basically let me go, I felt like a pile of shit for a good 6 months. Even after that, the healing was incredibly slow. I'd imagine her smile or her laugh or whatever. But then I remembered that she was 25, married, and what the hell could I ever do? Wait a minute...that didn't help at all, did it?

Seriously though, give it time. You'll meet new people.

"The one that got away" is sometimes the same as "The one that fucked you over"

 

[Suerte]

I know he fucked me over and the worst thing is that I warned before I met up with him. He even left me with a little more than I wanted but I still have pretty strong feelings for him. He still has my fucking Family Guy DVDs but I don't want to go get them because I know he'll probably parade his "new" guy in front of my face just to rub it in. He seems the type that would do that.

 

[Incognito]

i get depressed whenever i read one of your drunken, stupid, and oft-repeated threads, suerte.

seriously, get the fuck over it.

The type to be an insensitive ass? Man, get over this guy. Fast. Easier said than done, I know, but he doesn't exactly sound like a winner from that little description.

 

[Cioran]

Yay depression! Things just aren't going the way they should be those days. On Alucard's scale, I'd say 7-8.

 

[GDGF]

Whenever it feels like a well thought out plan has gone to shit, and my goals jump that much further off, I get a tad bit depressed for a bit. I hate that shit, though. No more depression. No more doom and gloom. From here on out, it's only going to be up and UP. Every failure will be thought of as a learning process...a chance to grow and all that jazz. Shining becons of light for all.

 

[etiolate]

My idea of the "perfect one" has changed over time, so you may think about that. You learn traits you require and traits you can't live with. I went through a lot of psycho bitches.

 

[Pachinko]

normally I'm a 0 or a 1 but theres been atleast a few points in mylife that would measure a 9 or a 10. It's like a 1 day thing where I worry about where I am in life, so It's more like stress then straight out depression.

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

Eh, my depression comes and goes. Right now things arent going too well. But ah well. But dont drink when you are depressed, thats really bad.

*goes and gets some rum*

 

[demon]

I used to be chronically depressed. My parents tried to convince me that it was clinical depression (brain chemical imbalance) but I knew that was bullshit. My life sucked shit and I was incredibly lonely, and what do you know, I was depressed about it.

After a while I became kind of numb to it and content with my loneliness and spending all my time in front of my computer/tv, but then I started making changes in my life and have been making attempts to be more social. But now I feel like it's too late because I'm for the most part out of college, and it really depresses me that I'll never have that opportunity back. So here I am, college is over, I'm living alone in an apartment, and I pretty much know no one expect one girl. So, I'm depressed. I don't feel nearly as hopeless as I did before, but sometimes when I get in a low mood it still feels kinda hopeless and I get really depressed and regretful about how I wasted college and the best part of my youth.

 

[Suerte]

Well it's now 06.25am and after a few pints of water I'm sobering up. I think my depression just appears when I'm drunk, which sucks, as I rather enjoy getting drunk being a student and all :\

 

[Zaptruder]

Depressed enough to make stupid topics like this.

You can always go back to college to pick up another degree or get an advenced degree.

Nothing at all wrong with being a career student

Sure. Do you have several thousand dollars I can borrow, per year?

Plus, even if I did go back to school, I wouldn't have the dorm environment anymore, and that's half of what makes college, socially.

I am living really close to campus, though. But I still don't know what the hell to do to meet people.

 

[cvxfreak]

Happy and proud.

 

[GG-Duo]

not depressed at all. stressed out sometimes, yes, but far from depressed. one of the best points of my life.

You do know your life is going to end forever one day, right?

You are aware that if this is the best point in your life, it can only get worse, right? And possibly much worse, right?

You know that beloved relative/friend/pet that died? Remember that?


You depressed yet, fucker?

 

[Mike Works]

It's too hard to be depressed when you go from being really, really fat to pretty skinny. I haven't had a woman for months, my job future is scattered at best, and funds are getting lower each day, but I can see my fucking feet. Only thing that could make me depressed these days would be someone close to me dying. Aside from that, life is just so much better than it used to be.

That's awesome. Was it all diet and exercise, or was there a little lipo-sucky-sucky?

him and olimario completed the "n-exercise" regimen together. after every quarter mile of running, they'd recieve points as credit for the next, great nintendo game. forgoing big macs earned them gba points and so forth...

lol

Diet and exercise. I fucking detest surgery, I wouldn't have had lipo suction if I were 400 pounds.

Shit, that sounds like me. Except the part about trying to be more social. I haven't gotten to that stage yet. Also, I dropped out of college, and I'm still living at home.

Every 10,000 calories we burned, Nintendo would send us a limited edition pikmin plush. Then I bought an XBox, and they sent me nothing but cupcakes and donuts

 

[Dujour]

Lost in memories I don't want to have and moved to tears about not being able to face it. I have it bad tonight.

Looks like you need WWW.GOTHICMATCH.COM

Seriously, in my experience give it some time and hang out with your friends, and after a while you'll be feeling better.
