Don't you wanna mingle with your brother's birthday party? There might be some free boiled cabbage for you.
 
Birthday parties? Who does these? I've seen exactly one birthday party, and it was his classmates eating sandwiches on a big table and telling stupid stories.
 
Free sandwiches? I'm in.
 
So I'm a couple weeks late getting caught up on this. I'll just hit the highlights:




  • Mom fell and broke her pelvis. Now she can barely get around and can't drive.
  • Mom's dog developed a degenerated spine and had to be put to sleep.
  • I tripped going up some stairs to the front door of a house and put my hand through the window. Blood all over the place.
  • I woman I thought of as a friend just uses me when she wants to vent about her life, and doesn't really talk to me otherwise.
  • I've been having trouble sleeping lately., and am always tired.

That's a rough couple of weeks man. But hey, maybe all that just means you are set up for something really awesome to happen to you.

That sucks.
That sucks.
That sucks. Kinda badass if no lasting injuries.
FBGM
That sucks.

:(
 
Damn, that is rough. My rant right now is that I slept in waaaaay too late, so now I'm only gonna get like 4.5 hours of sleep.

That's the way things often go. Trouble comes in threes. Or even multiples of threes.

I'm sorry for your trouble.

I'm really sorry to hear all that Cutlass. :sad:

FWIW, I have often run into the kinds of people like in bullet 4 and I can't stand them and I find it best to just avoid them as confronting them won't do any good.

I am depressed and getting more depressed. I can't focus on school at all, I've been skipping class and not doing homework. I want out but I don't know how to get to graduation as things stand.
 
One of my very best friends spends nearly all the time she spends with me venting about her life, and has done for the last 18 years.

But I quite like her. And I think, if I asked her to, she'd do practically anything for me that she was capable of.

Some people just like to moan on about their lives.

Anyway, here's a rant:

The house I'm supposed to be moving into has a gas boiler, a gas supply to the house, but no gas meter. And no record of who the last gas supplier was (who should replace the meter they've plainly run off with, free of charge, I'm told). I've spent nearly the whole day on the phone trying to sort this out. And so far got nowhere.

So, how was your day, anyone (before someone accuses me of just venting about my own problems all the time)?
 
The weather has been awful all day and I'm not feeling well. Today sucks.
 
School begins tomorrow, reminding me how freedom is either terrifying and short or that it flees away for several moments.

That or my resentment of my classmates. Oh well.

My ear also hurts a lot. Goddamned pimple...

Work sucked, I didn't get out of work until 7pm, and when I got home there was a fire on the kitchen stove. You can probably figure out how my day was from that. :p

I have very much been there. Dude, this may sound cold, but trust me as the voice of experience when I say it's not.

The position you're in, you've got to power through it. You have to be able to force yourself to be functional despite depression. You know those athletes who get hurt, tape it up, and go back on the field? That's where you are right now. You have too much going for you, and too much on the line, to let the depression win.

I don't know why you're depressed now. Depression can come from many causes and takes many forms. For most people most of the time it's a temporary thing. It can have medical causes or life causes. It can just be a reaction to something life has thrown at you. See your doctor or the school health clinic.

Even for those people, people like me, for whom depression is not a temporary or treatable thing, we've still got to find a way to be functional in life. You've done far better at your age than I ever did, and I don't recall seeing you mention suffering depression before. So I'm hoping you don't have what I have.

You're so close right now. You just can't afford the cost of not getting back in the game.
 
I must second cutlass' recommendations. Don't give up, if you want you can come to fiftychat and start a private conversation with a sensible soul. Or the lads at chatango if you're of that persuasion. ;)

Now, most often, depression is temporary. Even if we CFCers are a bunch of weirdos on the other side of a screen, you should still know that you're not a completely unknown insignificant entity. You are worth something, man. And what you are doing is worth something, too. Don't give up.
