That's a great attitude to have . It's weird to talk about having a good attitude when people are depressed, but you have the most amazing attitude I have ever seen in someone who is clinically depressed. I think that will significantly help you in overcoming your depression. It's never too late to start hoping and dreaming about the future. I am honestly quite amazed by you as a person, and I'm not just saying that to be nice. I sometimes post things saying, "Wow, that's cool" or "Amazing!", but this is really only the second time I have ever been really blown away by what someone can do when they are suffering so much. I wish you good luck, and just......wow.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this also happened because I didn't know how to express my feelings. At the beginning he was very interested in that sort of relationship, but it was too early for me to be comfortable with it, and then when I developed such feelings, I was waiting for the "right" time to say something about it, and, well, I guess I waited too long. I actually generally have very little interest in having any sort of romantic relationship, so hopefully I'll go back to my previous attitude - being perfectly happy on my own, but willing to accept a relationship if the right person came along. I was just starting to think he might be the right person. I wasn't really planning on mentioning it tomorrow because I'm hoping I'll get over it quickly enough, but if it's still a major problem by the time I have my next appointment, I will.

Thank you, but I only seem that way now. When I'm in the deepest, darkest depths of depression, I still have a hard time remembering those things. I seem to be successfully distracting myself with the things I have going on tomorrow, and the past few days it seems like the depression has let up a bit. Depression tells us lies, and sometimes they're pretty convincing. But sometimes people will say things like "Oh, (insert malady), go bother someone else instead of me," and that kind of thing makes me think "Wait, maybe if I'm going through this, that means someone else doesn't have to."


Edit: Oops, messed up the quotes somehow Fixed it now.

I know . But still, even people with just mild depression don't have that good of an attitude in my own experience. Depression really can tell us lies, and it's up to you whether or not you want to believe them.

I've enjoyed talking with you, and I think the quotes are fine now.

Loneliness is a terrible feeling... I just sit around the house and do nothing. People tell me to get out of my comfort zone but I can't! Extreme anxiety comes when I attempt to go places.

Making friends is tough because I really don't know how. So I sit around the house because everytime I try, I fail. I can't push myself like other people can and it makes me feel stuck.

I have this problem too . I'm so sorry you are feeling lonely, AquaineBay. If you want to talk then I'm always here.

+1. My therapy appointment today didn't happen due to a scheduling error. I now have an appointment for a week from today instead. The potential good thing was a job I had to apply for in person. I was kind of expecting to be interviewed, but all I had to do today was fill out a form and answer a few basic information questions. I realized afterward that I misinterpreted one of the questions (thought it meant how many days of work I'd missed without giving warning, it meant total). But I'm slightly hopeful that I'll at least hear back from them. I'm nervous about having to answer the phone, though, I don't do phone conversations well.

4... possibly increasing though my moods have been quicksilver of late. Worried about re-starting my studies, whether or not my student loan form will get lost in the post/spontaneously combust or that my assigned tutor will be incompetent/a jerk.
On the bright side, I transitioned from vegetarian to vegan again, though haven't got the hang of shopping based upon my (pending ok-ish!) knowledge of ingredients and processed foods, so the past few days have been tough. I've been deliberating over making this change since quitting smoking.

0. I'm feeling quite zoned out like I'm just watching myself from afar like the past couple of days didn't happen.
I started a new job 4 days ago, I think it might be a self preservation reaction , this shutting down completely.

i pray that nippondenso will not let me down.

i refuse to fall victim to primitive electronics.

It sounds like depersonalization, which is basically just the brain's way of trying to cope with stress. You have great insight, by the way, so it is nothing to worry about. It will go away when the stress dies down a little . I get depersonalization sometimes from my anxiety too.

0. Back to nothing.
