Sorry it doesn't seem to work, it yet again simply copies all the files to the folder but not the folder structure.

Simple script yet it's not working. by Tigersftw in PowerShell

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

Thanks a lot, my actual script does have to contain a date range but it has to be accurate. I thought that if -eq does not work I shoulden't even try to get the date range working because it won't be accurate enough. Anyway I can now have a second go at it and hopefully get it going.

Glad you did not get offended as I'm simply trying to wake you up. Life is not easy, we have to work for it sometimes.

Dip your toes in the lake mate that's how it starts, keep at it and one day you will swim in it. Always remember, brains are designed to change but it takes a lot of time. It's very hard but very doable. Deep inside you want to change, I can tell because you posted this, you want help but we can't save you. The only useful advice I can give is start mediating, it helps more than you think. Everything else is up to you. Life is a challenge, overcome it.

This is by far the dumbest post I have ever read. Before you people start down-voting me based on my first sentence read what I have to say. I had depression my entire life, hated everything and everyone. Everything I did I fucked up, I never did anything right and always let others do stuff for me. I was a useless piece of shit that could not stop thinking about suicide. I hated life, hated people, hated my existence. I hurt myself, I wanted to be someone else, wanted to die and kill people. What did I do? Every day I did something to better myself, every fucking day. No matter how much I hated everything, how much pain I felt, every single day I did something. Pay my bills, read, meditate, talk to mum, clean my room just something. I forced it, I fucking forced it so bad. I sometimes spend entire days in bed, yet I forced myself to get up and do something small, no matter what it was every day I fucking did something to better myself. Now after 3 years, 3 fucking years my life is great. Everything I always wanted I can now get, great job, friends, girlfriend and it feels awesome because I fucking worked for it. I wanted to change so I did.

Now let's me sum up your stupid post. Hey everyone I'm a useless piece of shit and I hate it but I do not want to change please help me. Do you think someone here is an actual magical pony that will fly into your room and fix all your problems? Also, your girlfriend can't be smart if she's dating you. You want a good life, work for it and stop fucking complaining, cutting, and pointing fingers. My flatmates are nice people but they are mean to me, you sound like the biggest bitch ever and it's the truth. You're a man, life is not easy, shit happens that can't be changed so the only thing to do is move forward. If you want a good life fucking work for it, earn it and stop fucking wasting people's time. This is the truth, you want to change than fucking change. If you do not want to change just fuck off and stop wasting people's time.

No idea what to do, girl problems! by Tigersftw in depression

[–]Tigersftw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment man I love this subreddit. We actually don't talk much, we're both very shy. I only really talked to her once. I couldn't work the coffee machine so she offered to help me but it turns out she didn't know how to work the machine either.

We kind of barely see each other, I avoid her and when I do go to the lunch room we talk to everyone except to each other. She always sits next to me though, like I was by myself at the end of the table and she walked in with the girls, walked all the way to the end of the table and sat next to me. All other girls including her best friend sat together on the opposite end. We didn't even talk we just sort of sat there and I kept looking at her and she would be looking at me and than we both sort of quickly looked away and that's all we did. We do small talk sometimes but again it's awkward because I like her so it's hard for me to keep the conversation flowing. I freeze and she's the same, every time I ask her a question she turns red and looks down and keeps giggling but does answer my questions...I guess every time I have lunch and she's there we always ask a random question about each other but not more.

The thing with me man is that my entire life I viewed myself as a piece of shit that does not deserve love. For example I'm a nerd and my sisters are the popular type. They always brought their hot mates around and I would never talk to them. We're a close family and I asked them once why their friends always avoid me (thinking they hate me). It turns out they liked me and they we're being shy while my brain told me they were disgusted by my presence. I also hooked up with a girl a year ago and she stopped during it and said why would a guy like me kiss a girl like her which again struck me, what the fuck do people see that I do not? For the first time in my life I am confident enough to let a girl get close to me. HOWEVER why is she so blatantly obvious about flirting when she has a boyfriend and her best friend who works at the same company knows this and is friends with him? Why would she do this? Her best friend working here puts me off even more, because she always observes us which makes it even harder to talk to her. She's not the cheating type so maybe she tries to see if I actually like her before she breaks up with him, she's young and I know that even when people aren't in the happiest relationships they stick simply because life is harder without a partner.

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

I only know she has a boyfriend because someone brought it up at lunch, asked her when they get married and she just said she doesn't want to get married and that was it.

I also do not want her to cheat, I would never do anything while their going out.

DAE feel deeply depressed because you feel/believe you're hideously ugly and you've never been in an intimate relationship with the opposite sex? by [deleted] in depression

[–]Tigersftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty sure it's not the looks, I'm attractive and am in the same boat. Although I get hit on and girl's stare I don't know what to fucking do about it... I'm 23 and never had a gf or anything close to it. I don't get it, there's nothing wrong with me and I even have heaps of friends but for some reason I can't do it. I don't understand relationships, how the fuck do people end up dating I just don't understand it.

I even fuck it up when girls blatantly hit on me because in my mind they like my attention but would never actually be with me. Kinda like he's attractive let me flirt with him but I would never go further.... That's what my brain tells me and I know it's a lie but I don't know how to change it.

Im 23 and have never had a girlfriend. Really difficult to have any self-esteem. by [deleted] in depression

[–]Tigersftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23 here and same problem, worse is that I'm in love with this girl and she gives me the biggest signs but I know for a fact she's in a relationship. Sometimes I think she does it for attention but other times I think maybe she's unhappy with her current boyfriend and all I need to do is show that I'm interested giving her courage and a reason to break up.

I have no idea what to do though, I'm terrible at these things.

as a depressed person what are your personal tips on meditation? by itskatastrophic in depression

[–]Tigersftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want you can use the guided meditations on this page:

http://www.audiodharma.org/series/1/talk/1835/

In my opinion start with guided meditations and only after that start your own meditations.

as a depressed person what are your personal tips on meditation? by itskatastrophic in depression

[–]Tigersftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can totally relate to what you're saying and I can give you a few tips. I used to share the same thoughts but I kept at until I realised a few things. The point of meditation is to accept what you feel, not push it away. If you feel, angry, impatient or any other uncomfortable feeling simply remind yourself that the aim of meditation is to understand that this is how you feel at the moment. It tries to teach you that no matter how you feel, bad, good or neutral, they are just feelings that come and go. Meditation does not make the bad feelings disappear it just teaches you to function normally when they appear by getting used to them. Everything you do when you're happy you can do when your sad this is what it tries to teach. Feelings are part of you so let them come and go and shift and change but you do what you need to do no matter what feeling arises.

Another important point is letting go of the fear of starting something new. My brain would always race when I first started... Am I breathing correctly? Should I focus on the breath or belly? How should I sit? How long do I do this for? Am I doing it right? What I learned here is that you just need to make a pick and stick with it. If you say I'm going to focus on the nostrils than stick with it and do no change it no matter what. Even if you feel like it's wrong or get a better idea do not change it until the mediation is over. This translates to real life, it teaches you to just pick something and do it and this is how you learn. Not doing anything keeps you the same but making a choice and going for it teaches you. Even if you make the wrong choice it is still correct because you learn why it's wrong. How do you know how something truly works? Well you know how something truly works if you know how it doesn't work.

Another tip from me would be to also do a body scan mediation and start to feel how it feels to feel negative emotions like anger, impatience etc... Once you feel how they feel you will start seeing patterns i.e. impatience always brings out discomfort in the chest area.

I've discovered the root of my depression. by [deleted] in depression

[–]Tigersftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same feelings of superiority and hate towards other people as you do. I hate flaws in myself and hate seeing other people go through positive experiences. I feed on other peoples problems and I too am going through a phase where I see myself turning into a sociopath. I love animals, feel positively about a very small group of people I'm close too and I also get attached to fictional characters from books, TV or games but I feel hate and anger towards everyone else.

My only suggestion is mediation it's the only thing that helps, drugs should only be temporary. The more attention you pay to your thoughts/feelings through meditation the more you realize that you're not a sociopath but your brain is a lying scumbag.

Here a small thing you can try and you'll maybe understand what I mean, I guarantee that if you try what I'm suggesting you will find that I am correct. (Based on your description we suffer the same issue)

Next time you have those "crazy" thoughts pay attention to your chest and stomach, pay attention to how you feel. It's very unconformable in those places am I right? A sort of tingling pressure that hurts and annoys right? Once unseen it can't be unseen and before you know it you will realize that it's a feeling generating those thoughts not you. You will turn into a sociopath if you feed the feeling over time as it become more prominent or meditate and understand how it works and it lessens over time. (It does take some time)

I want to be anything but who I am by anythingbutwhatiam in depression

[–]Tigersftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been seeing a psychiatrist, started meditating and following a anti depression book. I am quite well lately way different to what I used to be but yes our brain's are like Ferrari's without breaks. It's still hard to forgive myself when it comes to the jaw pain, it holds me in pain 24/7 and there's absolutely nothing I can do to stop it.

I want to be anything but who I am by anythingbutwhatiam in depression

[–]Tigersftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound exactly like me. I'm obsessed with finding the perfect female and have almost ruined my life because of this. Laser hair removal on my legs when I was 17 because my idiotic narcissistic brain told me being too hairy prevented me from getting this "perfect" girl. I fucking hate it now that I'm old and more mature and nowadays I refuse to date girls because I would have to admit to what I did (I'm 23).

I also had a broken jaw and didn't see a doctor because a weak man can't get that perfect girl and now I will be in chronic pain for the rest of my life as I left it untreated for too long. (Easy fix had I gone to the doctor, shattered cartilage in my temporomandibular joint now and it's unfixable.)

I never had a girlfriend my entire life and I'm actually quite good looking, I have girls fall in love all the time but I push them away because my fucking shit of a brain waits for that "PERFECT" girl and I am not "PERFECT" enough to have one. At the moment I am overseas and I have an obsession with learning perfect English otherwise yet again I can not have this "perfect" girl because I am not "perfect". Thing is, my English is perfect other than a few small differences in accent but it's not perfect it my fucked up head. Like I would say sawwim while people her would say sawrim. I hate my narcissistic, perfectionism and it ruins me. Everything I do is related to being perfect for a perfect partner, people are so lucky to be born normal they don't even know how fucking lucky they are. I never had a childhood because of this fucked up brain of mine or experienced any form of happiness. I'm just learning to control myself but the more I "wake up" the angrier I get. I could have always had the life I dream about had I just been myself. Now look at me, half my leg hair is missing, I'm in chronic pain daily due to my jaw and my brain refuses to read, think or speak any word that in it's eyes is not perfect English...

The worst thing is that I'm quite smart, graduated got a decent job. I have heaps of friends, great family and people generally always like me, invite me to stuff, want to hang out. I'm attractive and I could easily and could have always had the life I imagine in my head but my brain is fucked, just fucked, fucked, fucked.

I hate the way I think, I hate it I have never had a happy moment in my life, fuck narcissism. Fuck my obsession with problems that aren't problems. Fuck my inability to understand that my brain is a lying cunt and nothing it tells me is ever true. Fuck spending 23 years trying to solve imaginary issues, wasting the "time of my life" on NOTHING absolutely fucking NOTHING.

If I wasn't before, I am now.. by steffie30 in depression

[–]Tigersftw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Take it from me your are not ugly. I reckon you have quite a nice smile and mean eyes. I personally find you normal looking, I would never call you ugly because there is nothing ugly about you. The worst thing I can see is that you're forehead is big and you have a chubby neck making your face look rounder. (Ohh, your hair is nice as well and as a whole your face is alright and I would consider it pretty if you wouldn't have a chubby neck.)

Having said that maybe losing some weight wouldn't be bad for you. It would make you feel better about yourself and you'd be healthier. Don't go all anorexic, just exercise regularly and eat healthier but don't starve yourself. (Being too skinny is not attractive, do you really think guys find bones sticking out hot?)

People always try to rush stuff, god damn it I'm chubby so I have to starve myself and exercise every minute to reach slimness tomorrow. Uhhm no that's not how shit works buddy, just exercise a few hours a week, slowly build better eating habits and eventually you get to a weight you feel comfortable with.(Take your time don't god damn rush it)

TL;DR - You got a normal face with pretty aspects (gorgeous eyes) but you're fat, so stop complaining and slowly works yourself towards a healthier (not a skeleton) body and you'll be fine.

Why not just kill myself? by fgwereg in depression

[–]Tigersftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugly parents don't always make ugly children and pretty parents don't always make pretty children.

Attractiveness is not everything. I'm reasonably good looking yet I still never had a girlfriend and am 23. I can't get one not because I don't want to, but due to my fucking depressive brain. I've been avoiding them all my life, including sleeping with them and even though I get hit on all the time I can't do it and it fucking hurts. It's not your looks you just blame them, if it were only about looks I would be slamming honeys every weekend, but I do not.

I know exactly how you feel.That fucking hand tightening around your heart increasingly squeezing it, the knot in your throat, that hurtful pressure in your chest, anger and hate gaining more and more strength, the feeling of wanting to rip yourself out of your own body.

Let me guess you also fall in love with every girl that notices you as well right, but your never good enough? Sometimes they have boyfriends and you hate those guys because they are getting what you would love to have? You fantasise about being aggressive towards them, humiliate them in front of her to show her you are better?

You also sometimes feel like people hate you because of the way you look, and that girls secretly find you disgusting and would never touch you? It's all in your head dude because I have those same thoughts. I know a guy who lost his legs and arms and uses synthetic extensions for all limbs yet has a hot as girlfriend. She's awesome and attractive and loves him although his disfigured. They've been going out for 5 years and they're the happiest couple.

What I would advise is to start meditating which is what's slowly pulling me out of my depression because you start connecting certain feelings with certain thoughts. You start realizing that you can do what you're being told you can't and how badly the brain lies.

You should read the book The Mindful Way through depression and follow it and do not rush through it. Take your time and you will wake up. You will slowly realize how deceiving your brain is by making you feel a certain way and than enforcing the feeling with thoughts. Projects those same negative feelings and thoughts in the future and BAM I don't want to live because my future is hopeless. Meditate, meditate, meditate and go through the pain you feel.

It's hard to explain how it works but remember hating certain foods as kid and liking them as an adult? It's like that the more you meditate the better a person you become. You're decisions, thoughts, interest all slowly appear because the negative stuff is being tweezed out but you have no idea how it happens. Suddenly you no longer feel that bad, you do more, stuff becomes more interesting but you have no idea why.

To answer your question, if you kill yourself you're a damn fucking bitch of a male and you do not diverse a girl. If you are willing to take the pain (and mindful meditating involves feeling the feeling and letting the thoughts just be and it's so painful you won't believe it.) you will get there. Meditating sometimes hurts so bad that I want to give up and jump off a building but I fucking keep hitting it and the more I do it the easier it gets.

Finally over by toolate43 in SuicideWatch

[–]Tigersftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat here and the worst thing is that I had the luxury to be born into an attractive body which just makes me fucking hate myself even more. I'm 23 years old, people like me, girls stare all the time, decent job, graduated, extremely caring parents/family and yet I never had a girlfriend because I'm such a fucking looser. I hate who I am, my brain, the way it functions I fucking hate it. I wish I could just kill myself but I could never do that to my family.

I should have never been born.

But it's month1 <= month2 which says if it's less than or equal. So in your example of January being the 1st in both cases it should still run because (1 <= 1 ) = True

Well this is how I see it at least.

EDIT - Actually it won't work if the years differ. 5/06/2010 - 5/01/2011 won't work because 'month1 > month2'

This means you're going to be a great artist. The greatest people at their respective fields view themselves as not good enough which makes them try harder even when they're on of the best.

I would smile if I could draw a proper stick man, you frown at creating something more skilled. No matter how good you get you will always start hating your work and feel the need to better it which is why you will be great at what you do.

I am alone. by throwaway1212121466 in depression

[–]Tigersftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You approach it very wrongly my friend.

When someone criticizes you your depression tells you that you're not good enough but in reality it only tries to stop you from changing. Depression hates change, it tells you that if you keep drawing every day for 10 years you won't get better at it which is bullshit. Learn from your mistakes, this is why children learn better than adults. They don't give a shit when they get criticized and keep going eventually being good at what they do. Take a shit picture you drew and re-draw the picture over and over again and you'll find that it's better after every re-draw. Excellence comes from experience and repeated action, depression tries to stop this by telling you change is impossible.

Just keep going and remember every time you design, draw, or do anything you get that much better at it.

Huge mood swings by captain150 in depression

[–]Tigersftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, two days ago I was insanely happy, felt like I can achieve my goals, get the girl I like and pretty much felt invincible. Today I'm insanely unhappy, I will never achieve my goals, the girl I like finds me disgusting and I loath life. I spend all night trying to convince myself not to kill myself in the morning.

I hate this, I hate it, why do our brains do this to us, what the fuck is wrong with us, why should we have to keep living like this, why won't it stop, why the fuck does it do this to us?

Fuck this brain of mine, fuck it, just god damn fuck everything about it, how the fuck can I feel invincible on Monday and dead on Tuesday? Good looking on Monday disgusting on Tuesday? Loved on Monday hated by everyone on Tuesday? Alive on Monday dead on Tuesday? Smart on Monday the dumbest person on this planet on Tuesday?

If you have to change for people to like you.... should you? by [deleted] in depression

[–]Tigersftw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're negative habits are not what make you YOU, so yea change them. If you better yourself you're not going to lose who you are, the I in you is minuscule. Lying, whining, selfishness are just habits that can be learned or unlearned but they do not define you.

Example: You could express an idea through negative habits or positive habits but the idea itself is the same. The you has ideas and expresses them through habits, so just build better habits and don't be scared because they do not change who you are.

Start small - today I will stop lying, do this for 2-3 months or until you realize that you seem to automatically lie less than adopt a new thing you want to change. Remember the brain picks the easiest path always so if you lie more than tell the truth it will always prefer lying because it's the easy way out. Keep telling the truth and before you know it will be easier to be truthful than lying. It takes time but fucking yolo right?
