How to hide emotions? I’ve been very depressed for a long time now but this time is different. Nothing gives me dopamine. I mean absolutely nothing. I can still do my job but I look as dead behind the eyes as Tom Cruise. It seems many of you here are in the same boat and manage to keep it inside. How do I do that? Don’t want to talk about it just want to carry on with auto pilot. No drugs. Crack is whack.

Try to force yourself to workout everyday (running, rowing, spinning, etc.) for at least 20 mins at high cardio (160+bpm). Your body will produce dopamine naturally. Try it just for a week. It is 99% certain you’ll see a change in your mood.

I’ve been there—had to take like 10 days off after a breakdown. I pulled myself out of it by taking my meds, keeping a clean-ish living space, exercising when I feel up to it, cooking for myself (no fast food or food delivery, and eating lots of fruits/veggies), and drastically cutting back on alcohol. It took awhile but I am feeling so much better.

First, you have no obligation to tell anyone. Second, most people will not notice unless they spend significant time with you, and then most that do will not say anything, especially if you are performing fine. If a day is so bad you can't motivate yourself to work or get out of bed, take a sick day, that's what they are for. I wish you the best and hope things turn around for you, winter is almost over.

Can someone who knows more about the law than me explain why the opinion seemed to focus more on when life begins than plain old autonomy? I read both and they seemed to focus a lot on that point.

Are these 2 totally separate principles or why would that concept not come into play? Or is needing consent from the dead not a federal thing

We create targets for ourselves, then race to chase them down. Be it for a better career, money or a much higher standard of living. But I guess our youth pays a price for it. Not sure if this us just me or does anyone else resonates with this. For everything that I wanted to have and do have now, I feel just very hollow.
