Depression/Anxiety Talk

When I think back to learning about early humans, things become slighty disappointing rather than depressing.

It's really misleading when they say "If you or someone you know..." because I don't know them, but they are.

Got fired today and this the 2nd most upset I’ve been in my life

I really understand what you’re going through. Not because I read about it somewhere, but because I’ve lived it — recently. Last October I got scammed by a local dealership that sold me a junk car “as‑is” with no warranty and no refund. Then this April I got taken again by an online scooter store advertising a “rugged outdoor travel companion” that turned out to be a dead, defective piece of junk. Those two mistakes together cost me around $10,000.

And just like you, I hated myself for falling for it. I felt stupid, ashamed, and overwhelmed. I couldn’t stop replaying the decisions in my head. I thought, “How did I not see this coming?”more

Sometimes I get nervous when I feel fine for the same reason that there are rules, laws, and religions.

I feel like I always want to be featured in the play of the match, but it’s always the worst possible example of how to be calm because it’s always so stressful to do if it does end up being featured.

Sometimes, I’ll think it’s rude to be happy and I’ll let myself stay sad so they don’t think I’m laughing at how angry they are getting,

For God's sake, stop treating their interpretation as reality after you pretend to believe them.
