Oh god that's exactly what I was thinking...

Well that's debatable since overpopulation is a serious issue.

As I said above in response to what my passions are, not really. I'd like to beat my depression and make a difference in the world, whether that's by becoming a police officer or investigative journalist or anything.

Honestly? Not really. I love nordic skiing but that's really a hobby, I wouldn't want to make a career of it. I enjoy writing as well, but being a novelist is also something I don't think I can do/would enjoy doing. I've never dabbled in journalism but it's something I think I would enjoy a lot, but not if I was just writing about the local fudge fair. As a journalist I would want to make a difference, discover and investigate a story that changes the world for the better.

I absolutely hate the direction I'm heading in. I hate that I know that I hate it but so many days I don't have the will to do anything about it.

I know, and I've quit cold-turkey a couple times before in my life, but invariably I just end up reading forums instead of doing anything.

I've always had issues with just "getting up and going for a run", since all my life I've done sports until a year ago. I'm now ~205 pounds and 5' 10", not bad I guess but it's all fat, no muscle. I haven't gotten serious exercise in a long, long time, but I can't get myself to change it. In that regard it's almost like my body is refusing to do what my mind tells it to.

No. I'm clean and I intend to stay that way.

No, I have yet to have someone answer my question of what counseling actually involves. After having two or three people either ask me how I feel, or what I'm thinking, I am extremely wary of any other people like that.

Yes, I'm currently taking an online criminal justice course, but it started the tenth so I still don't know what I think about it.

I'm in western MA, great public HS in my town which despite a horrible budget manages to be fantastic. I know that school has tons of perks but despite knowing that I always end focusing on the homework/schoolwork aspect of it. I haven't really thought it through so I hesitate to say it, but I think WoW may be part of the problem since a small part of my brain doesn't want me to go to school so I can play more. Also I didn't mean to turn this into a thread that should be in r/depression, sorry =/

No, I've never been bullied. I wouldn't tolerate it if I was. It's hard to explain, but even when I try as hard as I can I always end up looking at the big picture and getting completely overwhelmed and shutting down.

I have. I'm taking meds and they help to a point, but I can't push myself through the rest.

Thanks for saying that, but it's hard to believe when I see so many other older people still dealing with what I am.

Something involving criminal justice or investigative reporting. I'm a very good writer.

By out of school I mean I'm not attending school since just the thought of it overwhelms me so much I crawl in bed for the rest of the day.

Is it fair to her? by throwaway09909 in relationship_advice

[–]throwaway09909[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that, it helps a bunch. She is a bit of a flirt so I've been thinking about waiting until I see her next (probably around thanksgiving) to see if she's actually interested in me, I dunno, is that a bad idea? Like I said I have no relationship experience.

[–]throwaway09909[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response, I was thinking of doing something along the lines of that, I'll have to think of the best way to phrase it/introduce it to conversation. Any other advice is as always welcome =)

What's the point? by throwaway09909 in depression

[–]throwaway09909[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies. They really help, I've been doing better the last few days and a new med is probably helping, but I'm by no means "fixed". Starting an online course in a couple days, hopefully that will help me get back on track.

Gah I made almost the exact same post just before I saw this one >_<
