  • Say do you ever use the phone? If you do why don't you give me a call if you want to rant or chat or talk about whatever's cooking.

    I actually use my phone to post here. Generally, I don’t like using my phone to talk because it hurts my ear but I’ll see if I can work something in.
    Do others even want me to have a girlfriend? Why does everyone seem so hostile to me in regards to wanting a relationship?

    I told a lady in group therapy being near her made me want to hug her and she happily hugged me. She’s a lesbian, by the way.

    I also talked to a lady at a game store and asked for her name.

    Alright, you are venturing out and talking to woman, this will give you more confidence. We all are told no, woman suffer from rejection too. But you are doing excellent!☺
    I haven’t drawn for a long time. I got put out from the lack of comments or being told what I did was incomplete. No one likes me.

    More over-generalisation. Just because you get a handful of negative comments doesn't mean the entire population of the world dislikes you.
    I found out a lady I was interested in already has a boyfriend. This life is getting unbearable for me. It’s not a journey but torture.

    That's a common retort. Chris Chandler called it the "infinitely high boyfriend factor". Where I live asking a woman out is considered an insult, so I hardly ever see it, but the boyfriend thing is what women say to get a guy to buzz off.

    I've had things like this & the way I deal with it is, if I like the girl, I want her to be absolutely living her best life. So if she's already found a guy she likes, awesome! Usually I end up seeing the boyfriend too & a lot of times they're a cute couple--all the world loves a lover so I like seeing everyone happy-
    I don’t understand it when people tell me “Work on yourself!” or “Improve yourself!”. Both things sound so vague and unclear to me.

    If they know you, and see that you're suffering from depression - they're trying to offer general advice. Dedicating more time to self help, than spending more time focusing on thoughts that continue to amplify your depression and other negative emotions. As with many things in life - the more time you spend dedicated to something, the better you become at it. Depression is no different.

    Yeah. It is meant to be encouraging and supportive.

    If a NT sees that somebody is "down" or depressed, they want to help, but usually they don't know how. But they still want the person to know they care, so they fall back on generic platitudes. They're not really giving real advice per se but just want to let a person know they care. NT's really didn't have a socially acceptable direct way of saying it until the mid 90s and "I feel your pain".
    I failed to catch a fish yesterday. I really can’t do anything. :(

    A lot of times people don't catch anything. It has more to do with the water temperature and the fish than you.
    Should I commit suicide?

    Call the suicide prevention hotline, the number is in the sticky posts in Help and Support. You can always talk to us, but we are not licensed intervention counselors. If there is a regional hotline where you live (most major cities have one) you can call them.

    No. You can always go to the emergency room and ask for meds to help you. Please don't let people beat you down.

    I wish you could quit your job. They sound like jerks and they arent good for your mental status. I was glad to leave those places.
    I fear I am going through a mental breakdown. My mind is racing and I feel extremely despondent. I am going to call in sick to work.
    I no longer feel empathy for certain groups of humanity. They are no different than the “bigots”. I am not an useful idiot.
    I suddenly got a biting headache and my molars feel like they are going to explode out of my mouth.

    I don’t know why it happened. It was out of nowhere and I needed both pain killers as well as a facial massage to make it stop.

    I did feel sinus pressure.

    Sinus headache can make teeth hurt terribly.
    Anyone who thinks I am scum and doesn’t want me to have a relationship is going on my ignore list.

    When people try to talk down to you thats gaslighting, don't fall for it. It's abusive, and you can call people on it or walk away.

    They also will enlist other people to do the same. It's done to people at work and in schools.

    I’ve been treated so badly lately that I refuse to put up with anything that looks like a jab against me.
    I refuse to be an “useful idiot” for causes that people who consider me scum want me to support in exchange for my wants.
    Can I even become a late bloomer?

    Yes, by doing it. I have full confidence that you'd do well to go give something a try.

    Yes. I am so it is possible.
    Just found out Kentaro Miura of Berserk passed away. Man, this is the let down of the decade!
    Getting a blood test in a moment. Oh boy.

    I get my blood tested at least twice a year. It’s always uncomfortable waiting to get it.
