The only thing I liked about 2016 was that it wasn’t as debilitatingly depressing as the final four months of 2015 were for me.

I think I should just get drunk and stay drunk until I die. Could be pretty soon if I drink the way I was before I went to rehab, and that’s fine.
come on Possessed, that’s some dark humor. please don’t.

Wasn’t really a joke. It being posted directly after a complaint of all the deaths in 2016 is a complete and unintentional coincidence. But I’m sorry anyway.

Well I haven’t done anything yet but I want to. I hate life. I thought it would be better sober but it’s just more frustrating without an outlet.

You gotta get into some kinda support thing, man. It’s hard to do on your own. Hit up AA or some kinda other group thing where people who are going through the same thing as you are can help.
For what it’s worth, though, I think it’s less that there’s no outlet, it’s just that you haven’t discovered a new, healthy one yet. I always go right to suggesting exercise, but there are other things. Just a thought.
Hang in there, man. It’s not worth giving up.

Find active stuff that you love. Music is a great outlet.
Your life is what you make it. It’s easy to hate the life you have. But you just have to know that there’s always the possibility of a happier life out there and, as much of a bitch as it is, you have to work for it.

I don’t have time for any of that with my job. I only get one day off a week anymore and all I feel like doing is sleeping during it.

That’s depression. Have you considered talking to a professional?

The way you “diagnosed” that you seem like an expert professional. What if it is simply exhaustions? If you work 6 days a week and if you don’t like the job, it can be quite exhausting.

Gonna have to side with imperialscum here, I go on vacation in a little over a week or so and when I come back it’s back to 5 days a week (although unfortunately the two days off will rarely be consecutive which kinda sucks) so we’ll see how i feel then.

Regardless, you may still want to talk to a doctor. None of us can (or should) really diagnose you, but if you think you even might be depressed, it would be wise to talk to someone just in case. You can even start with your primary care doc.

Exactly. It wasn’t my intent to diagnose, it’s just something I take very seriously.

I understood that, but someone that thinks he is perfect in every way clearly did not understand it, so he hopped on a very high horse and rode it around for a bit.

Yes, it’s much better not to offer a suggestion to someone who may need help than to offer help to someone who may not need it. Better to err on the side of risk.
Geez, there is no end to imperialscum’s annoying nature.
Anyway, I agree, it is worth considering seeking help if you feel your mood declines sufficiently. I applaud you, Possessed, for your sobriety. As I’ve stated before, I work on the psych floor of a hospital, and I see how difficult substance dependence can be.
I remember many of my interactions and regretted statements on this forum. I remember our first direct encounter included an insult by me. I don’t even know if you remember. But I have to say that I apologize for that insult, and I want you to know that you are actually one of my favorite posters on this site. I still check it daily, and I enjoy reading your posts.

Look, depression is a serious thing. You don’t tell people “That’s depression” based on some vague symptoms. That is like telling people “That’s cancer” when you hear they have some health problem. Someone might get unnecessary worried and stressed out. People should learn how to phrase things correctly.

Depression is not a diagnosis. It’s a mood. Major depressive disorder is a diagnosis. If I said, “That’s some extreme sadness,” I doubt you would have raised an issue. And even if he had said, “That’s major depressive disorder,” I don’t see how it could cause more anxiety. Clearly, his intentions were for the best. I agree, Possessed should at least consider seeking help. We cannot force him, but we can encourage introspection.

I pointed out his poor phrasing in a very civil manner. You and Frink then attacked me.

It might be your approach and history of posting as if you’re always right. You said he was diagnosing. He was not. Nevertheless, I should not have attacked you, regardless of your past deliberately portrayed arrogance (which may or may not have been displayed here, and which I perceived to be another intentional sleight).

I’ve been diagnosed with depression before but I’m still 5k and growing on debt from getting sober. (Just keep getting bill after bill after bill from the same week stay in the hospital) so I won’t be going to the doctor for a while.

Alien: Covenant already looks to have all of Prometheus’ problems. Why are all these scientist/explorers going into the unknown without protective suits? The trailer shows that they get infected by something bad through their unprotected ears and then cuts to people saying “we have no idea what’s out there.” Stupid.
