Take off every "Hivemind"! You know what you doing.

Yep. Even characters very early on do. (E.g., Vegeta.)

But that's not the most silly part. Or close to.

Thanks for being nice to me last night, guys. (I logged off and didn't see the posts till now, but thanks, all the same.)

The annoying thing with me at the moment is that there's nothing to talk about, really - I just suddenly hit rock bottom about two weeks ago and I've been floating near there ever since. It's been a long time since I felt like this with no explanation (last time it happened I was sick, too, and most other times I've at least had something to be miserable about), and it's upsetting and kind of scary to just be floored by no reason. I just suddenly feel like I've got no life, no hope and no future.

I've had a bunch of people tell me I should see my doctor and get myself some anti-depressants, but I'm resisting that for all I'm worth (I don't like pills at the best of times, never mind mood-altering drugs; also I don't care much what happens to me). I can't go on like this, but I can't think of any other way to go on, either, and I don't have the necessary guts to stop.

*sigh*

I don't like this.

Hey there, randomling.

I've had a bunch of people tell me I should see my doctor and get myself some anti-depressants, but I'm resisting that for all I'm worth (I don't like pills at the best of times, never mind mood-altering drugs; also I don't care much what happens to me).

The best use for any such pills is as short-term aid for helping yourself, IMO. I took some (not anti-depressants per se, but close enough) for a few months while taking daily long walks (which I enjoy and which enhanced my health) and constantly and methodically imagining a bright future. The pills made sure I survived difficult moments without major damage to my progress.
I'm not completely over my depression, but I got rid of most of it and began to enjoy my life a great deal more. Haven't taken any pills in quite a while, now.

What Darkness said -- you're not making a lifetime commitment to the pills and I have seen people get quite a bit better with a little aid.

Do you have RL friends/family you can go to? Hugs are always good, and not particularly transmittable over the internet.

Talking is always good, though. Always helps me when I'm down.

Argh, I hate pills, and it seems Im stuck with them for the rest of my life

I just heard this morning that Im diabetic

 

[Jdvn1]

Yeah, I'm stuck with pills for the rest of my life too. Hypothyroidism. :\ It could be worse, though, right?

Sorry to hear it, mate. What kind? My stepfather's a diabetic too, but not inherently so...

Hypothyroidism

Damn. A Google search suggests pills help a lot. I really hope they do that for you.

 

[Maldur]

Im waiting on test results.

But its still major suckage.

 

[Jdvn1]

Yeah, pills help a lot -- they're necessary for sustaining life, actually. It just sucks to have to take them every day. And days I forget to take pills are annoying.

 

[Terath Ninir]

Diabetes sucks. My mom has that. Hypothyroidism I'm not familiar with.

Being stuck on medication sucks, though. My condolences.
