Everything Bob Ross said.

EVERYTHING

[ChairmanPoo]

I don't remember who said this, but "Not sucking at something is a product of time invested. At first, you suck at something. Then, you practice, and get better. After a while, you don't suck anymore."

It was fqlive.

Reading this thread made me sad today.  All the people who think that they cannot do certain things.  All the people who are in horrible circumstances.  All the pro- and anti-intellectualists.  All the people whose statements of their problems looks to me like statements of the solutions of their problems, yet they do not realise it.

Many people would not agree with me, but I totally believe that you can do anything.  You are powerful.  Any problem that you cannot solve now, you can learn to solve.  No problem is permanently problematic.  You can always learn and adapt and get stronger.  The only thing that might stop you from doing something is physics itself, and maybe not even that.

[Xantalos]

That is the truth, DreamThorn. Anything can be done with a little shift in perspective.

Wow, I feel a little spoiled. A lot of people have some serious issues that they bring up here and one tiny thing in an other wise great day is really making me depressed.
It is strange how sometimes you can just shrug off bigger problems, but things that really shouldn't even matter can make you sad.

[DreamThorn]

Thanks for the support.  I'm feeling much better now.

Please don't ever feel guilty like that. "Someone else has it worse" is a pathetic excuse people use to not care about other people's problems.

There's a case to be made about triage, but when that doesn't/can't come into play, anguish is anguish and deserves to be treated with appropriate sympathy. Plus, as any depressed person can tell you, sadness isn't always logical and even the small problems can make huge differences in one's mood, so you still deserve a hug of sympathy.

I know I've spent alot of time miserable and depressed despite my supportive family and access to everything I need to be comfortable.
I also find going "other people have it worse" just makes people feel bad about being sad and if there's one thing I hate it's things that make people feel bad about being honest about their feelings.
If you're sad you're sad and the suffering of others won't change that.

Ugh, opened my fool mouth one time too many.

Today, the vacuum cleaner broke.  Naturally, it broke on a day my mom desperately wanted to clean the house.  Naturally, her solution to the problem is "vacuum harder!"

 

edit: hugs for everyone anyway.  It isn't anybody's fault that my family makes every holiday bitchtastic, so I'll try not to drag you guys down this year.

[Solifuge]

Can't bring myself to subject my family to depressed me, so spending the holiday by myself at home. Feeling stupid and useless, and hating myself for thinking that because the thought itself is stupid and useless. It's self-propagating.

Trying to do something productive and mindless to distract myself and break out of the cycle. Cleaning the house. Might bake in a bit.

Depression is stupid, and I hate it.

One of the worst decisions you can make while depressed, solifuge, is pushing people away. Go talk to your family, even if it's only on the phone at this point.

Alternatively, RAAEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGG depression to death. Nurse your hatred, let it fester in your heart, and you will find you are capable of wonderfully heinous things.

Whatever you do, don't let it go.
