The
Loveline
Companion

I avoid and rarely ever make real decisions about how I'd like my life to progress, because I am deathly afraid of how the people I know, love, and am connected to will react. My life has been a series of safe decisions. I have what feels like an innate desire to determine and follow my purpose, but I do not if it's not safe.

Maybe a life of purpose is overrated, and I wouldn't be happy either way - maybe I have wasted my entire life making other people happy.

It's sometimes hard to not feel that all is lost, and that the world is worthless - but then there are moments of clarity where the huge positive possibilities of life are temporarily visible and enlightening.

I like alcohol.

You want to get in on the TLC suicide pact?

—ZT-In

Actually, no. But that's probably my answer only because it's the safe one.

—Kevin-U-in-Depression

I'll put you down as a maybe.

Kevin U, are you upset over life in general or something specific?

Are you in therapy? Sometimes recovery groups are really helpful. Some of them suck ass, but others are good. I've gone to them. There was one I was going to for a while. The only requirement is that you were a woman and you were struggling with something. So we had a bunch of ladies with different problems: (alcohol, drugs, depression, food addicts, anorexia, rape survivor). We had different problems, but a lot of us had a lot in common.

I hope you feel better soon. :-)

I wouldn't necessary say that I'm upset, but I would say that I am generally unhappy about 86-92% of the time. I am in therapy, but it costs a lot of money, and I only go a few times per month; it doesn't seem to be making me any happier, so I guess I am in it for the long haul.

If I skipped therapy, I could possibly retire 2-3 years earlier, so maybe it's worth being unhappy until I am done working, and then I can spend 40 hours a week trying to be happy?

—Kevin-U-in-Depression

There's people out there that are happy? Where they do that at?

—he sounds like a delight

TLC does seem to have the depression market cornered - is there some forum out there full of happy people to balance us out?

—Kevin-U-in-Depression

bronies.

—ZT-In

We also have the dark humor corner covered.

—acm

bronies are just so depressed that they enter the delusion that my little ponies is something worthwhile

friendship is magic.

When i am sad, i think about how crappy my life would have been if my parents never immigrated.
