    I'm actually just satirising the general misunderstanding of depression as being a direct reaction to your circumstances.

    People seem to forget that major, successful figures, like Winston Churchill, can be depressed.

    Sorry if that made you feel bad.

    You seeing a therapist at all?

    i'm seeing a psychiatrist and taking meds, but i don't see a therapist.

    Thanks to the meds, i can be mostly functional... but the depression is still there...

    Gurl I know how that be

    Meds are great but they have side effects and sometimes it feels like you're in a dream-like state or you feel stunted cause there's this emotion you should feel and you want to feel but you just...can't?

    I would suggest checking out Cognitive Behavioural Therapy if you have the option available. It's one of the better ways of treating brain problems.

    You're not the first person to tell me about that. Thanks for the concern...

    I wonder what happens if you deliberately sabotage yourself

    You get more depressed and your day gets ruined.

    @syndalis

    Where did you get the OSX Installer?

    What machine are you trying to install this on?

    Is it the factory HDD or did you upgrade?

    downloaded from the interweb as part of reinstall os x

    2008 imac

    original hdd

    I think the hdd is shot

    Most likely. You can run Disk utility from the OSX installer to try and confirm... use the verify / repair options on the right when you have your HDD selected on the left list.

    I get depressed but its usually short bursts of total hopelessness, not long periods, at least not since like 9th grade. I prefer it this way, I guess. Easier to ignore and doesn't cause me nearly as many life problems

    Hm. I think... I think I may have to stop drinking coffee. This past week, as soon as I have any, I've become super anxious. Even more anxious than normal, which is already pretty anxious.

    But I like coffee. Maybe I can switch to decaff...

    Yo dude get CBT.

    Hey I hear you should get CBT.

    CBT man, from what I hear it really works.

    saying you have depression turns everyone into Navi.

    In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phoney God's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

    About a year and three quarters?

    I don't know how it affected my emotions. My emotions are a clusterfuck to gauge...

    And yes, Sleep Paralysis is the pits. i just had a bout this morning. i was trying to sleep a bit more, have a pleasant dream featuring Skippy Dumptruck and me building a go-kart track and then BAM, i wake up to a different dream where i'm trapped in my own bed and can't move or breathe...

    In a speech Wednesday at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) dismissed progressivism as "arrogant and condescending."

    “Progressivism is well-intentioned but it is also — in my humble opinion — arrogant and condescending,” Ryan said, according to The Hill. “Instead of helping people make their own decisions, it makes those decisions for them. It makes Washington the center of power and politicians the center of attention.”

    The 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee conceded that "the Left keeps winning elections."

    “Why? Well, you can see the appeal. In uncertain times, people look for security. Progressives seem to have an answer … the progressive state offers a sense of security," Ryan said. But it’s a false sense of security because government can’t keep all its promises.”
    I have a feeling that he couldn't define Progressivism if asked.

    Please don't say that, even ironically...
