Nope. I did get a $100 deduction and free overnight shipping.

I haven't hit this hard in a while. Been considered clinically depressed with a high anxiety disorder for years after a near suicide. In the last year I found out that one of my good college friends was in fact a border line serial killer (two murders - one in New York, the other in Kalamazoo) and a total sociopath (who on one side seemed such a bonafide family man and hardened vet). This is two years after I had graduated college.

Now coming up on 25, I have very little to show for the past two years of my life except a wrecked Trans Am and a shoestring budget. No liscense, not much else than a 2 year pity party of spinning my tires.

Literally throwing my heart at a girl who I have all to much in common with but she just puts up a wall. Of which I'm slowly dismantling but I'm not sure to what avail.

Honestly don't know what to make of it but for the past two months though (not related to the weather) my depression and anxiety have taken a dive. I never drink but recently I took to pounding back 6 packs of malt liquor and things like hard cider. Stopped because I never felt anything better of it..

I think the joy in my life and my drive for it is just slipping. I dunno.

I think all of those ticket threads are stupid anyway. You're just asking to get flamed when you start one.

Being 20 and driving in a 2011 Camaro, one that has the RS package and everything means being targeted like no other. The cops in West Chester are mostly real nice I know most of them They like me a lot.

No need to start a thread about it. Crap that just reminded me I gotta pay my latest ticket online by tomorrow.

Like. A. Boss. I stomp on my brakes when I see a yellow light now. Threw a whole case of Yuengling all over the trunk of my Subaru thankfully none of the cans burst

aside from the killer friend, I've been there man. I know how you feel. One day at a time, one hour at a time. Find little things to do that make you feel good to help build towards bigger/more permanent changes.

If you can get the chance, find a good person to talk to. It definitely helped me.

I'm not licensed or trained but I will always listen if you need it. PM me if you have to.

The only word that saved you there was Yuengling.

Good call.

Damn man I'm really sorry to hear that. I'm not gonna give you the whole "everything will look up" speech, cause I don't wanna seem insincere. That really is a lot to bring a man down, no lie. I hope it all works out for you as soon as possible, till then just enjoy the smallest things you can. I make sure I laugh at every little thing I can.

G no offense I'm not saying you sound insincere, I feel like since I'm not saying it in person it's not worth saying online. When it comes to me.

Same here man. One day at a time. find what makes you happy and rol with it. as far as girls are concerned dont be afraid to be happy being single. Ive been single for like 4 years, have I wanted a gf? Yes, but things happen when you at least expect them. If you need anything you can also PM me as well. Every day is a blessing, not a right.

I've been dealing with this for years and I too just do that for many of my friends. Push my own issues to the back burner. Recently I paid to see a counselor but it became more of a money grab IMO as I never felt I got anything out of talking about my own issues.

For now I just shut up, describe the physical issues and head 'em off with medication from my doctor. From there I just keep going.

I think that steam is running out and being weighed down by all this and just plain loneliness. Day by day I feel more a burden than a help.. and it cuts deep.

I should mention that I never really had a meaningful romantic relationship with anyone. Just reached that point that I wake up at 10AM, crack a book.. and wonder "What the F**K am I doing..?"

No offense taken. I wasn't telling him that it would get better, I was trying to give him some ideas on how to make it better. Somethings that worked for me after some time in therapy and living on my own well far away from my support circle.

Man bud I'm really sorry to hear all that. Dealing with your own issues would be hard enough, but to find that out about a friend would be hard to swallow.

I've been in your shoes to a certain extent. I used to fight with depression, although I was never diagnosed as you were, and I know how low you can get. I had a rough 5 years in my early to mid 20s while struggling with depression and money issues. My stubbornness and love for my family kept me going. I refused to let the obstacles beat me and keep me down. I'm now moderately successful and happier than I've ever been.

Just keep your head up and try to stay strong. Things will get better as long as you want them to. The only thing that can stop you is yourself. Believe me, because I know what I'm talking about. If you ever need to talk or vent shoot me a text and I'll try to help you out.

Stay strong bud and you'll be ok. It may not happen overnight or even in a few months, but things will turn for the better.
