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.

It's more that I just don't want them to have to deal with me. I'm not very pleasant company when I feel like this. Moreover, wearing a mask of pleasantry would feel dishonest, and feeds the growing divide between my inward emotional state and the personality I express to the world. As a former pathological liar, that dissociation bothers me, and is something I've been trying to overcome.

I informed my Dad of the situation earlier, and will be making plans to see them when I'm through this. In the meantime, I made muffins which I'll be sharing with people soon, and for the rest of the night will be working on a project I've had trouble continuing recently. One foot in front of the other, and all that.

I can bring a lot of energy to bear on most problems or situations, but my rage tends to be pretty tepid at best. I'm not a person who can fuel myself using anger, at least not very easily; it usually takes a direct threat on my life and well-being, or the well-being of someone else who is unable to properly defend themselves, to trigger that.

Tell, that second bit makes my headache even worse. Is... is it supposed to be trying to rhyme?

E: Incidentally, naps really shouldn't make a person feel this goddamn miserable. Headache, bit of an acid problem, generally overheated... bleh. I hate biology with a passion, some days.

So tomorrow is looking like it's going to be a particularly hellish day. We're celebrating this bizarre turkey-based colonial holiday a day late on account of wanting to invite Scottish old lady, who couldn't make it the day before on account of celebrating the holiday with someone else then. This strikes me as a perfectly good excuse not to have her over, but no, we apparently aren't getting out that easy. I also have to get up early to go see a tutor about the maths stuff on account of being unable to sit down and frigging study it, which is something I'm really pissed at myself about. It also looks like I'm not going to get much sleep tonight as well... Ugh.

My point is they can help you through it. They're your family; you're not goddamn imposing by asking for some emotional support in a difficult time. You don't have to lie about how you feel and wear a mask of pleasantry at all. The more you angst about "bringing others down" the less able they are to actually help you, and believe me; they want to help you.

When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

That... really depends on the family, Kaij. Just. Let's leave it at that, maybe?

Ngh. Even a loving family doesn't necessarily equate to one that's able to provide the sort of support necessary to get a person out of a depression slump, though. Not all loving aid is particularly helpful, y'know? Pavement of th'road to hell and all that rot.

Technically speaking the correct term is English-reading Internet, not US Internet.

Though in about eight years about the whole linguistic division method of quantifying the internet is going to come crashing down with browser integrated machine translators. Possibly less.

Is it even worth trying to attract ladies if the home I live in is in a perpetual state of filth? I mean, even when it's cleaned thoroughly, it only takes six hours at the very most to be reduced to the damn mound of waste and decay it was before. Just, damnit, it's impractical to live in cleanliness when you have an entire family that just doesn't give a shit.



I don't want to slip from my exercise and dieting, but everyday it feels like those original goals are further and further away. It's hard to entertain the thought that they're possible.

Josh, you just fond the number 1 reason why people move out of home. It is just impractical to attract ladies when you live with your family period.
