Hmmm... How many meds have been tried? What about light therapy (you mentioned he's got a Toady-like rhythm)?

Depending on how bad the depression is, there's always opiates - very effective antidepressants with comparatively few side-effects, but of course they get you addicted as hell. You probably wouldn't find a doctor willing to write the necessary prescriptions.

Huh, opiates are antidepressants? The more you know...

After I woke up, I took my wife to the eye doctor (whatever the heck their official title is.) I got a little lost on the way there, but it wasn't bad. The reason she went there is because, on top of everything else, she has now found out that she has cataracts. The doctor said he has no idea as to where they came from, because she's still young. So they're talking about doing some (what they call minor) surgery to remove it and add in some little lens thing that should also hopefully help with her bad vision as well. That sounds like a good plan.
For whatever reason, he was talking like he thinks that it'd be best to only do the worst eye, and leave the other one as it is. That makes no sense to me, as he even admitted that the other eye would continue to get worse, and would also need the same surgery in a year or two anyway. My wife wants to just get it done and over with, so it's rather annoying that they only want to do one. Hopefully we can convince them to take care of both of them.

They most likely want to do one at a time because she'll be blind for a while if they do both at once.

I'm going to hug all of you right now. I hope you are okay with that.

So much sad that I can't think of a-

This'll do... Seconded!

Let's definitely make it a party. I lurk this thread every day, and feel helpless that I can't help everyday.

Vector, Yoink, mastahcheese, etc - if any of you wants a game, for what little that's worth, just check the sig. Just pick anything you want to play that's on the list, no strings attached.

This thread is super deep.

My heart goes out to you all. Here, catch, pass it around a bit, hot-potato style.

I'm beginning to think Bay12 should put together a hug-wagon that roams the globe and hugsqueezes the ever-loving crap out of everyone and what they're suffering from. It's a far cry from actual solutions, hardly feasible, and wholly impractical, but the internet is just such a grim and tinny way to offer condolences.

On an aside, I think we all need to learn to tell people "no" when they ask for and perhaps are not deserving of help, myself included. I know I tend to justify my suffering if it's to the growth or merit of another, and yet it's still a suffering.

Stay well, everyone.

Now I can just imagine a dirty white van full of short, hairy people. "Bay12 comfort van" is written on the side in messy red paint, seemingly turning brown as it dries. They pull up next to sad people and, swigging from a stone flask, ask: "Want a hug?"

Then they hug people.

Did terrible on my first physics quiz (but really more of a test) for this semester. Not the biggest deal, since I will do much better on future ones (eg. where I know they are coming more then a hour ahead and don't miss half of the homework), but still a pretty big bummer.

Birthday coming up this week.  I'm going to be 33 and I feel physically about twice that.  I want a nap and a white russian, and I can't have either -_-

[Pnx]

Math test went about as well as expected... I basically didn't do two problems worth 8 points each... Which on top of the other points I've probably missed but I don't know about... I think this is optimistically 80-90% but realistically probably less...

I also think that honestly that was the hardest math test I've taken in this college so far.

[lemon10]

I'm breaking down. I am typing this from my school, to try and calm a bit.
By 9:00 a.m, my hands already had deep bite marks and I was shivering.
I'm gonna look for help.

Damn, that sucks. Not quite sure what to say other then I hope that you manage to overcome your problems.

After the talk with the pupil guidance center today my mom insisted to talk to me too and ask me what was said.

* miauw62 sighs

I cut her off when she said "you have to understand that you just can't..." which pissed her off.
I don't know what the fuck would have come after that, but all of the options I can think of imply I'm a fucking idiot. I know what is accepted by society and what is not, and I fall into the second group which causes these problems in the first place.

Thanks, folks... I will take my hugs :<

Fortunately I'm doing okay, largely.  I just need to make sure this next time I'm moving back in with my parents is the last one.  Ever.  And then I need to figure out how to make friends as a young adult.  But once those two things are completed, I will be okay.
