Don't apologise! You're a really wonderful guy and I've never found you to be the slightest annoying.

About what you said, I think getting some sort of help would be beneficial. Maybe just even someone to talk to. Don't try and hold these things in, because it doesn't help, and in my experience talking to someone usually helps.

Thank you for saying that!! ^_^ 

You're right, it does help. Like I said, I'm putting thought into things. I'm pretty good at just slogging through but I'm getting sick of it.

I just read your "species" tag, @PastryOfApathy. I got inspired. I'm also sorry. Really sorry.

I understand. If you ever need to talk to someone, I'm usually available haha

But I know how it feels, maybe not as bad, but I can relate.

So I've been thinking about finally getting some help with my depression/anxiety issues. I haven't fully made up my mind yet, and probably won't for a while, but I've done some research and found the center in my area that handles this stuff. It's really not something I want to do, I never wanted to get put on antidepressants, but lately it just feels like things are coming to a head for me and I don't think I can ignore it much longer. I'm constantly nervous, I'm paranoid, masochistic, and occasionally suicidal. I don't function well, and my job stresses me out way more than it ever should. I'd like to enjoy life without feeling unduly glum or worried about minutiae; I'd like to get home from work without wanting to end it. So, we'll see. I want to think on it more and talk to some people first.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to lay all my personal crap on you guys, it's just comforting to share. I've really enjoyed my time hanging out here and getting to know you people; you guys are all great, and I'm sorry if I'm ever annoying. That's just my nature. 

I rarely glance at this thread, so I'm glad I just happened to now and caught this. I just want to say that I wish you all the best in whatever you decide to do. You've been one of my favorite posters here, if not the favorite just because what you have to say is always very smart, even when you're not posting seriously (if that makes sense), and we seem to share a lot of the same views on things. There's very few people in the world that I can say that to, so I guess you should feel special? I dunno. Take that for what it's worth. I'm just some random person on the interwebz, after all.

Same as Fen said, if you need someone to talk to, I'm here. It can help sometimes.

@Endless/Nameless I know the feeling, and I don't know you all that well yet, but I know those feelings all to well. You took a step that me, and a large amount of people are unable to take. Purely because something is mentally blocking me from doing it.
Can I ask (if it's not prying to much), how you were able to decide "I'm going for it"? Maybe it can help others as well :)

Again, it's amazing to see people doing this when it's needed. Going to someone because you can't handle the stuff yourself, that's the hardest step.

I kinda skipped school today. I'M SO FUCKING HARDCORE!!!!111!!!1!!!!1! 

So there was this volleyball tournament right? For the entire school day. And each class made a team composed of 6 people, including mine, only that it was already full so I couldn't join. The prospect now was staying there with a thumb up my ass for 6 hours straight doing absolutely nothing. I went to the administrative office to ask if I could borrow the phone in order for me ma to come pick me up. I call but she doesn't answer. I walk about like a bloody idiot for half an hour until I get tired of this shit and choose to escape (that's putting it dramatically haha). I couldn't get out from the main exits as they were watched so I took advantage of some works some construction workers were doing to slip through a gap in the school's perimeter. I am about to return home when on the street, just before I was crossing, my ma passes by with her car. I'm like ''OH SHIT HIDEHIDEHIDE'' while I watch her go around a corner and disappear. A few steps later and on the same street, guess who I see? That's right, my french teacher in her bloody car! I hide again, she passes by and I continue on my merry way. Then, finally, I get home. Writing stuff to you guys sure as hell beats staying in that pisshole they have the cheek of calling ''school''. God I hate that dive

Ah, here's a theme to go with it all lol

You aren't annoying at all, quite the opposite, you're a pretty damn chill guy. Don't feel bad for ''laying personal crap'' out, we all gotta get some weight off our chests every once in a while

I'm actually surprised to hear you're depressed as you've always struck me as the, how do I say it, lighthearted kind of guy? In a good way. From what I've seen you don't look like the type who'd need that stuff but hey I'm not you, I'd need to be in your shoes to know. Just... Make absolutely sure that's what you want. I don't want to sound paranoid or something, it's just that I'm extremely wary of pharmaceuticals, especially of the mental kind. They scare me. It doesn't matter if the informations about them come from a ''reliable'' source, I don't trust pharmaceutical companies period. You do what you gotta do Endless, it's just that I'm worried, that's all. Anyway, you're a grown, responsible adult so I'm sure you know what works best for you. Stay safe mate

What job're you doing btw?

Thanks!! ^_^

I can understand that impression, because I generally am pretty lighthearted. I'm always giggling over some stupid shit. But I have issues with insecurities and stuff too, and I obsess over stuff easily... I get feeling lousy way too easily. Some of it probably has to do with my upbringing, but whatever.

And I know what you mean about the medication and all. I don't really trust it either; I've heard bad stuff y'know. But hey, if things do get to that point, and it would help me... Might be worth a shot.  

I'm a hotel housekeeper. It's not a bad job; I don't mind the work and it pays fine. But the days can get really stressful and long sometimes, and I have to be there really goddamn early. And the fact that I even have to be there drives me nuts; I'm much more the type of guy that would be happier running my own business, but I don't have any marketable skills, so......

Thank you for your kind words!! But let it be noted that I haven't fully decided to go through with it yet, tho I am giving it serious thought. 

Mostly it's a mix of fusteration/desperation and wanting to live more normally for a change.

I get that oO I guess I need the help. But wanting is difficult, I tried it before and only made the nightmares (long story) worse. I will probably try it when I'm a bit more... settled I guess.

Well hey, do what you think is best for you and your body. Don't do anything you know you shouldn't, but if you really need help, go for it. 

Which is what I should be telling myself I suppose...

No, work is better. You can chat with your coworkers, you get paid, and if you are like me, you have fun staff parties. 

Scholl (for me) has had shorter hours than at work, can chat with friends, can have (my college, anyway) hit you up with a job if you ask them and there's often a house party / meet ups between friend groups. I guess it's different if you have a job you enjoy.

Bear in mind this is UK college so high school is probably a lot different.

Got anyone here who you would be comfortable sharing your situation with? Some advice from somebody who isn't in the situation (and might see things more clearly as  a neutral/uninvolved observer) might help.

I'm not a very good conversation starter, but what I've already put down helps a lot. Writing stuff out untangles it in my mind.

Very true. Poetic yet damning, isn't it?

That (untangling by writing out), too.  I'm sure we got a bunch of people that would love to help.

It's good you have a therapeutic channel for this kind of stuff. I write poetry or listen to a particularly sad album whenever I feel particularly down.

We know. We even had a thread when they first went back up and my god, they are just as bad as everyone thought they'd be.

Yep, they're as shit as ever. I am still trying to give it another chance, but with threads like 'What species are you most attracted to?' it is very difficult.

Why is that, by the way?

Its like an endless series of "meet the new boss, almost as bad as the old boss" where the only cherished heroes died at the hands of their once allies; victors turned villians by ambition while noble aspirations are crushed by circumstances beyond their control.

I am not in an office. I am in a mental ward. My co-workers and I are mental patients. This is the only possible explanation for the concentrated absurdity that is this place.

And the furry fandom is where you escape to?

I duuno, I don't see us arguing for 20 minutes about whether or not it is technically a lie to introduce ones self as "[Team location] here" on a teleconference when only one (later compromising on two) member(s) is actually "attending" the meeting, even though 99% of the team will still be residing in the same room the call is taking place in.

Twenty minutes.

Sounds like a tough crowd. But when you take into account the amount of different fetishes, mental conditions and social awkwardness in this fandom, it still wins for a bag full of cats, hands down.

As opposed to the outright insane people one would encounter in Gravitas' field of work?

If anything they're probably more corporate insane, or more commonly known as "The Corporate Psychopath".

The point I'm making is that when it comes to the oddity of that which is the furry fandom and its subsets, you end up with a much broader spectrum of people that are more likely to be unhinged, granted what those areas have to offer. For reference, look at the "FA Comment Simulator" to get and idea, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Assuming this were true, why are we not seeing a whole bunch of insane retards running around, let alone hearing about them?

Probably because most are dosed up on medication and kept out of the news, who the fuck knows. And I'm not saying my opinion is representative of the entire fandom but they are certainly out there. I've met quite a few both online and IRL. 

Funny story: I befriended someone over Skype and met up with him at my last con. The funny thing is, he said that I was one of the sane ones at the end of the con, and this guy has been going to the same one for well over ten years; and he once saw a diaperfur masturbating into an open diaper.

The point is, crazy usually tends to attract crazy and the fandom has more than its share of it.
