    I just don’t want to give up on getting a girlfriend.

    @Markness I just don’t want to give up on getting a girlfriend.

    Behaving kindly toward yourself has no negative implications whatsoever toward that intention.

    @Markness You don't have to give up at all. But focusing on other things is part of how you make progress to finding a girlfriend. Enjoy being you! Practice that guitar and try to learn new songs and techniques. Make doing so your "you time" and be darned selfish about it. :)
    I mourn for what should’ve been my best years (18-30) and think maybe I really do need to kill myself?

    I am over 40 and I just now am getting my life together seriously. Don’t lament the wasted time, build a better life for yourself today.

    Dude, you gotta do something about this. Question: Have you talked to your therapist about this loop of negative thoughts?

    Who told you that your 'best years' would be the ages 18 through 30?
    I found out that I forgot to take my medications in the morning.

    Yeah, that happens to most people who take daily medications once in a while. Not a good thing.

    I take six medications plus vitamins twice a day and sometimes in the morning I forget but I take them later if it's not too late.
    Can I still change my life around at my age and with my current circumstances?

    You can, but the change has to come from you.

    Markness, even if everyone in the world felt sorry for you, that wouldn't fix the situation. Said the doctor examining the little kid that ate his pocket money, "change must come from within."

    It’s almost midnight and I still haven’t eaten dinner yet. I can’t eat until my GI issues calm down.
    Listening to Neurosis’s Souls at Zero since the weather is rainy and cold.

    Sunny here. High of 41 expected this afternoon.
    Should melt the ice from the road.

    Road was slush and hard packed snow.
    May get some accumulation Thursday. Up to 7 inches
    is the current forecast.

    Was warm and sunny today. 42 degrees.

    It warmed up today and my allergies started acting up.
    I finally defeated the gargoyles but my character died from poison after scoring the death blow on the last one. Fortunately, the game saved before the poison killed my character.
    I return to the library today.

    I’d love to work in a library but I would have to re-train which is not always possible. Still, I can make do my own library at home.=D Really interesting that you work in a library.

    I have been there for 16 years now. Why I’ve stayed for so long is a very turbulent story.

    Get a corncob pipe & some Ray-Bans and go in like MacArthur--I have returned!
    I'm studying in a library today. It's quite nice really.
    I guess people here do want me to give up on my hopes and dreams. :(

    @Rodafina I don’t mean every single person here. I just know that there are some who dislike me and don’t want me to get better.

    I think this is an excellent topic to present to your therapist.
    The focus on the feeling that people dislike you and wish you harm.
    Wouldn't you like to know how to deal with that without constantly
    repeating it to yourself and making yourself angry and unhappy?

    You are the person who wants to give up on your hopes and dreams by listening to others. Why?
    What I want is always denied.

    When I decided to start dating my goal was to get one date a week, starting with women who knew me, from work, from my outdoor activities. I saw that as practice of sorts. Fate intervened and I met my future spouse. Women enjoy attention, and respect and acceptance and somebody with interests who knows how to navigate the world. How well are you prepared to be that man?

    "Markness
    I even asked a shy looking girl out for coffee and she turned me down."
    You did more than I ever did. I never even attempted that even with the few possible single girls that I know. I think it but the words refuse to come out of my mouth.
    Gerald Wilgus
    Gerald Wilgus
    Tony. You have been so positive lately. Single women are like us, they would like to be noticed, accepted, and receive affirmation of their value. Act that way and you can break through. Until you try you will never know how attractive you may be to some woman.
    Is there hope for me or should I just give up?
    Forest Cat

    I can put it like this, I don't know if there's hope for me. No one knows that, no one knows the future. But giving up is not an option. So you shouldn't give up.
    Rodafina
    I feel like a loser again. :(

    Do you ever acknowledge that this type evaluation is part of the condition of depression?

    Suppose the person you're talking about hating was someone else.
    What can you think of that would help that person maintain a more rational point of view?
    Power is still out at home.

    If the electricity was out here, I'd have no water because the well pump wouldn't run.
    Heat wdn't be a problem, because of the wood stove.

    I could melt snow for water for some uses.
    Having no lights wouldn't be good.

    I'm so scared of the power going out tonight because I have a bunch of dogs boarding with me and we're in subzero temperatures right now :(
