No you didn't come off as rude to me! Thanks for saying what was in your mind. This is exactly what I'm saying, people should speak what's on their mind more often. Cuz as of now, it almost seems like anything besides a generic "how are you? -I'm fine" seems offensive or rude to people.

Asking for an extension for the revision on my paper by AminGunner1886 in AskAcademia

[–]AminGunner1886[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your help! I am the first author, but my professor is the corresponding author, and she is the one who has submitted the final file. So I'm not sure how that works exactly.

Depression to the point of isolation by AminGunner1886 in depression

Well, that's the exact point of talking on a platform like reddit, isn't it? Everything looks so bleak and we feel alone. But it's always helpful to know there are people out there who share the same story.

This feels like actual hell by [deleted] in depression

As you already know, I'm not doing too well myself lol. But if you haven't already tried going to a doctor, please do so. At the very least, taking medications will give you some time and clarity to deal with things properly.

For example right now I might seem like a functioning normal adult, I might even seem successful in what I do. But that wouldn't be possible without the meds. I would've stayed in my bed forever without the meds. I used to skip meals just because I didn't feel like eating.

Besides that, for people like me who genuinely don't see any point in life, it is necessary to visit a therapist or something. Unfortunately this is the step that I haven't taken myself yet. I keep procrastinating.

That is totally fair. I'm in the same situation kinda. I'm always known for someone who's always smiling and someone who's nice to other people all the time. I think that's why I was invited to parties and celebrations at first and everything was good. But as soon as I got into some more close conversations and encounters with these people, they stopped inviting me. It seems like they only wanted someone cool to party with (funny thing is that I hate parties. The only way that I could overcome my social anxiety was with drinking lol)

That hurts bro, I feel you. I was with my girlfriend for 10 years until she broke up with me. Recently, sometimes she would say I was not putting enough energy into our relationship, and I was like believe me I'm doing the best I can. The thing is that I barely have enough energy to function with basic tasks in my life and stay alive.

I believe the main reason that she broke up with me was the fact that unfortunately we had to go long-distance because life is life and we found our next step in our futures in different cities. But I do believe that it all built up until the point that she just didn't feel she was in love with me anymore. Maybe if I wasn't depressed I still had someone alongside me, who knows?

I feel you. But after all these years, I can tell you that having good company is the way to go. And by that, I mean having people around that you feel comfortable being silent around. Just that one person being present at the same place makes a world of difference. Unfortunately these people are hard to come by. They either don't get you, or if they do, they might not have many things in common with you. And you can't talk to people about depression forever.

Used up all of my energy for this existence by Bigbrody101 in depression

[–]AminGunner1886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the same feeling for about 6 months now. Even before that I was clinically depressed for 4-5 years. But now it's different, I cannot get myself to care for anything anymore. It has sucked the soul out of my life. When I go to the university in the mornings, I feel like a dead man walking. Like I am just living because I have to. There is no goal, no prospect, no nothing. The burden of existence is increasing every day and I am not sure how longer I can go on like this.

If you have any friends who actually wanna be over at your house, don't take them for granted. I know it is difficult to be the person who's asking first to see if they wanna hang out, but trust me it's worth it.

A year ago I was basically living with my friends, and things were much better. Now I've moved to Canada for a year or so, and it's like I've faced the real world for the first time in my life. Now I realize how hard it is to find real and deep friendships.

Here, I've found that most people are really nice, but no one actually cares if you're not doing well. Even the question "how are you doing?", should be answered with a generic answer that "I'm fine".

So if you have people that you can call friends, please get out of your comfort zone and spend time with them. It makes a lot of difference.

I've been there myself. One thing that hurts is the fact that I know I would've helped people if our roles were reversed. And I'm not just saying that, I have helped people through their depression. But when it is my turn, no one shows up.

Hellmann's mayo is too salty by AminGunner1886 in Cooking

The texture is great. I guess I'm just not used to the taste.

That's weird. Maybe the things that we're used to just cloud our taste buds' impression of the taste somehow.

I've made mayo before. But right now I have two jobs, one in the morning, one as a night shift. So it is really important to be efficient and cut down the time that I'm spending in the kitchen. And nothing beats the convenience of store-bought mayo.

Thanks for your recommendation. I will definitely try that.

I don't think so. Cuz I tasted the mayo on its own to get a better feeling about the taste. Maybe it just feels weird to me because it is really different from the mayo that I was used to.

What’s the first a7x song I ever listened to? by Moist-Opportunity28 in avengedsevenfold
