^man if that's true that's fucked and i feel that- i made a crack at you on here once when you said you were struggling at art college and i was finding it easy at the time... i tried my hand at some sound production as part of my course and i was shit fucking shit at it. you're producing some of the freshest stuff I've heard in a while and getting recognised for it too, so definitely something to be stoked about and forget about the other shit i'd say. sorry for being a dick

Make sure that if you don't enjoy your job you have a hobby that you're passionate and excited about.

Speak to someone professional as soon as you can if you really feel like you can't see a way forward... it sounds like you've got a great life, but you need to learn to be more appreciative of your blessings.
This is the advice I'd give. I just had a mutual breakup around 2 weeks ago with my girlfriend of over 3 years, only to find out she'd already got a new boyfriend around 3 hours later, really fucking with my head.

To get over it though I've been massively avoiding drink and drugs, as well as avoiding rebounding with some random girl. Just taking my mind off it all through socialising, music (which is my fucking saviour right now) and baaaaaaaaare torrented telly programs rather than binging every night on codeine and green seems to be a much preferable path to me than going down a road of inevitable opiate addiction again. Gonna buy decks in a few weeks when I've got cash just so I've got a good hobby to take up my free time, and I've started seeing most of my friends a lot more as well as building relationships with loads of new friends which is also really helping.

Really looking forward to January as I'll have money in my pocket, a few decent music events lined up and I'll probably start thinking about moving on with another girl around then. It's all about keeping occupied rather than lying in bed at night wallowing in self pity over some girl. I've got a house, currently studying in college and I've got loads of good friends, that's more than enough to be thankful for at the moment.

I've also got a lovely dog :w:

Get some perspective: go help some people with real problems and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

If its a chemical imbalance get some meds.

I refuse to feel sorry for someone with a job, girlfriend, and all the other things you have, who lives in a 1st world country. There are literally millions of people to whom your life would be paradise.

...so you're saying leave the riches of world experience
to those irresponsible enough to stay free?

NO FUCK THAT


If dude isn't happy playing house he should change it..

He may regret it in 10 years but at least he will know...

That's the hard part - the painful crossroads he's in...

settle for prescribed normalacy or go for more...and possibly fail
with the added weight of failing more than just himself...

Great, it's the depression thread part deux and the whole "you can't be depressed if you live in the western world" argument. Where's Badman Juice?

There's no flickswitch and time is a great healer, especially when you've had to ween yourself off some chemicals. Your body will miss them for a while.

Make sure you're active when you're awake so you have less downtime to think about missing your old state of mind... doing constructive things, seeing friends, having hobbies... days spent lazing around doing fuck all feel great when you start them, they rarely feel great when you finish them.

Been feeling like shit too last weeks/months, going through some stuff at home etc, nothing that bad, probably blow over soon.
Best thing is to always get someone to talk too if it keeps going on (I know everyone already said that in this thread but it's just the truth).
Depressions can fucking wreck people.

So why is that then?

I guarantee if he volunteered to help people with real serious problems and did some excersise he would be ok.

I dont like the way he casually mentions suicide. Fact is people who really want to commit suicide go and do it without posting on off-topic forums. I was close to a person who killed themself, because of some very unpleasant events. Incidently they didnt go round telling every one beforehand.

He's got his health, a family, a partner, a job, he's white, not poor. I'd say there were 4 billion people worse off than him. He's feeling sorry for himself. If u want to pander to that then fine. FFS do you know even some of the horrendous things that go on in the world? In terms of entitlement to sympathy, this guy is near the back of the queue.

Like I said: I dont like the way he casually mentions suicide.
