Two question quiz?

I did bigger quizzes in kindergarten

even though I know you're joking, if it makes you feel better I had a like 16 question diffy q final last year (each probably averaged parts a) through d))

also now I'll upgrade "probably" to "probably most definitely". Also the first problem I should have gotten fully right, but since I herp derp stuff all the time I may not have. we do get 1 dropped quiz grade, but still..........this was supposed to be the easy first quiz

I thought I graduated from high school. But guess that can't stop the people in my dorm to start a feces-storm over some drama.

Couldn't sleep at all last night, and surprise, now I have important stuff to do and I'm freaking tired.

I thought I graduated from high school.

First year uni is basically high school.

My dad called and left a message on my cell phone asking me to help him sign up for Glenn Beck TV...

 

[Tee Kay]

Oh now that's a rant.

Which part? Or both?

Accidentally posted this in raves (which is a rant in itself):
I've been using MediaFire to upload files, but its a pain when its about 500 KB over the limit. Since MegaUpload's gone Ive been uploading it to my own site but that drives up my bandwidth.

Guys, you have to understand that it's OK to be depressed, it's a natural thing, and it's not your fault. But people are simply not going to put up with you wearing it on your sleeves. It's not fair, but you have to accept that it is true. And learn to hide it from people.

So basically, you're saying the only people we should talk to are these people, and absolutely no one else?

That sounds like a crappy way to deal with depression to me.

Another rant: There are people outside playing a tuba and setting off fireworks and it's kind of noisy.

Well it seems that the entire worlds wants me to feel that being depressed and unemployed is my fault. :-/

I've just grown more cynical and bitter each passing month. I miss my old optimistic self.

Look, this is harsh, and I'm not trying to be down on you guys.

But as someone who has been terminally depressed for near as long as you guys have been alive, I've learned a few lessons. And they are ugly lessons.

And the lesson is; No one wants to hear it. No one will put up with hearing it. No one will listen to you to hear it. No one will stand to be around you if they have to hear it.

It is not your fault that you are depressed. But it is your responsibility how you handle it. It is your responsibility to get on with life as best you can despite your depression.

You cannot count on anyone being willing to help you.

Constantly moping about and telling everyone how bad it is for you is a cry for help. It isn't whining, not the way others think of whining. It is a cry to try and get someone to help you.

But that help isn't coming. Maybe, maybe, if you can afford health care your doctor may be able to help you. But they couldn't help me. And there's no guarantee that they can help you.

So you are crying for help to people who cannot help you, and cannot even understand what you are going through. Almost everyone will be driven away by that. I wish I could offer you better news, but I can't. You need to keep it to yourself most of the time, or people will be driven away from you. You need to learn to be functional despite it, because you have to go on with the other aspects of your life.

I wish I had better news for you. I don't. Maybe someone else does. But I don't know where to find them.

Nobody is asking for help

If people who aren't depressed are free to complain about inconveniences in their life, why can't depressed people complain about their inconveniences? What, because we're depressed, suddenly what is wrong in our life is a cry for help and attention?

You may have good intentions Cutlass, but you potentially just hurt a lot of people's feelings with a misconception.

I'm sorry. But that's why you can't talk about it with most people.

I think they are asking for help. Maybe it's not true of all people. But I think it's common. But if you feel it's that bad, I'll delete what I posted and you can delete the quote of it.

The reason I think that depressed people shouldn't talk about it often is because I have seen how other people take to avoiding those that do. People, even other people prone to depression, can't handle it.

As far as I know, keeping it to oneself is often what drives some people to commit suicide, or makes them more likely to commit suicide, or makes it easier to commit suicide.

I hope not. But I don't know how to win that.

Which is why you need to talk to a professional rather than constantly rant about it to anyone who'll listen.

I just become more cynical and bitter at the world, TBH. But that's just how I internalize it.

If you acknowledge it, you can change it.
