um how bad is it that I can relate to all of this real well.

On one level it's unfortunate, as it means you had to grapple with this as well.

On another level it's fine, as it shows that you're not the only one who grappled with it, and there are people who actually understand what you're experiencing.

The other consideration is that some of this may just be a universal problem.

To be clear, I can relate to a lot of it as well, but I think really only a qualified professional can tell you whether or not you have Depression.

That's essentially what i'm curious about. Just how universal is that mess? I'm just barely out of the aptly described

When I say that deciding to not kill myself was the worst part, I should clarify that I don't mean it in a retrospective sense. From where I am now, it seems like a solid enough decision. But at the time, it felt like I had been dragging myself through the most miserable, endless wasteland, and — far in the distance — I had seen the promising glimmer of a slightly less miserable wasteland. And for just a moment, I thought maybe I'd be able to stop and rest. But as soon as I arrived at the border of the less miserable wasteland, I found out that I'd have to turn around and walk back the other way.

phase. so idk. it is nice to see that i'm not singularly weird.

Are those pumps for trucks faster than the usual ones? It would take forever to pump 150 gallons using a regular pump.

Depression is the single most frequent illness in first world countries or something.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Collateral
Miami Vice
Spartan
Eastern Promises
A History of Violence
Spy Game
The Town
Michael Clayton
Monument Avenue
Dirty Pretty Things
Croupier
Layer Cake
Sexy Beast

Master and Commander

spy game
monument avenue
dirty pretty things
croupier
layer cake
sexy beast

I think that, for a lot of conditions, there are different ways to go through it, but a lot of people go down each path, or similar ones.

So some people might get some sadness depression or whatever. And some people get the dull, dead depression. But either way, there are tons of people going through that exact thing, or something so close that each one can get each other.

While it's true that there does happen to be a higher rate of brain eating among Neverwinter zombies than the general population, perhaps that's because of generations of anti-zombie bias? What we need to do is educate people about zombie equality to deal with the long term, while creating zomfirmative action to help raise their status in the short term. They've been brain eaters for centuries, we can't expect them to lift themselves out of it overnight.

My history final is to write an essay, we can write it beforehand but we have to recall it from memory on test day. There's a lot of subjects tto pick from and one is to write about whether slavery was actually an economic good for the south or not, long term, disregarding the morality of it.

I plan to write a paper about how it was not, and that thinking is based on the old ideas of finite wealth under mercantilism. Does this sound like a good or bad approach to take, or should I write about how slavery was awesome

I watched a TEDTalk once about mental illness. Currently 1 in 4 first world adults has one. And that number is expected to rise continually because the way we live our lives now is not what our brains were programmed to deal with. The constant stress, uncertainty, etc. which we spend so much of our time thinking about every day is driving us all crazy.

Thanks Obama?

The Great Gatsby comes out tomorrow, with showings tonight. I want to see it, but the reviews are pretty weak. Hmm.

I'm going to try to finish rereading it before tomorrow, so I can adequately complain about the adaptation.

Though to be fair I'm finding that the book isn't as engaging as I remember it being. And what's the deal with the narrator being bisexual but barely even acknowledging it, except for one scene where it's super-apparent?

they need a brain income tax, this tax free approach with no brain safety net is leaving the zombies forced to commit crimes

simple tax the citizens 5% of their brain matter and feed it to zombies

I dunt remember! I think it was this one though. http://www.ted.com/talks/ruby_wax_what_s_so_funny_about_mental_illness.html

It was a talk given by a comedian with depression though so she's not a sciencey expert on the subject.

I've heard multiple times that crying because you don't know why you're crying is a super common cycle for trans women. That's more to do with estrogen doing... weird stuff to you though.

though i dunno, maybe i don't have depresshuns because when my life gets better i get happier. when i discover i'm closer to a goal i am happier, having sex is rad as is spending time with sexy ladies, a good meal with friends is memorable, i look forward to things

but just in terms of my sadness and despair, on a 'normal' day without anything especially good or bad happening i can't begin to trace why i feel so overcome by dread and anxiety and hopelessness

Maybe you just have an anxiety disorder? Based on what I've read about how stress affects you it seems pretty definite.

only ever so slightly faster. So it takes ever so slightly less than forever.

I've been in line behind four tanks each needing 306 us gallons.

which was fun and a half.

I think you can make a solid argument, i mean just using history by itself you can show how the south basing its entire industry around slave labor was crippled when slavery was taken away.

I'm not a psych person, but there are tons of other disorders that can have effects like that.

Like I've got so many anxiety issues going on. So on a normal day with nothing happening at all, I will spend all my time dreading the next day, hyperanxious about the future, hopeless about gender, etc.

Like you could say those are causes of the anxiety, hopelessness, and dread, but I don't think that's accurate. I think I just have a predisposition to feeling those things, and they will latch onto whatever they can, which at the moment is gender mostly. It used to be getting into school. Once I'm feeling less about gender it'll be exams or something. If there's nothing, I think I'd still feel them for a while.
