Yea, this is an actual disease that requires medical attention. Anyone who tells you to "man up" or whatever doesn't know what they're talking about and you have no business being friends with them.

I do agree with you to some degree. Which is why I deactivated my Facebook, I've been feeling a lot better since I've done so. Facebook can be very depressing, not only in regards to political issues, but even things like people I went to high school with being dead, in jail, pregnant, etc. It's also why I don't post on the BR as often, if you were wondering. I'm really focusing on my spiritual life.

It's very difficult to when you're brain is imbalanced and you are pre-occupied with depressing thoughts.

That's nice.

What is this?

A lot of things cause depression. They can either be genetic, environmental, based on trauma, or even all three.

The Doom War was a fun war. Equilibrium was a lot of fun too.

Thank you. I've been on meds since last November and, by the grace of God, I'm fighting it. I get taken off the meds in April and hopefully it stays that way.

I have suffered from depression and anxiety issues probably for as long as I can remember. I have struggled with feelings of inferiority, weakness, and ugliness my entire life. I couldn't tell you what genetic dispositions caused these ailments either. All I know is that it is something that torments me and holds me back from achieving long-term happiness in my life. Around this time last year, I was suicidal, and the only thing keeping me alive was my family-- particularly the fact that my little nephew was born. It was a dark time. What made these things even worse was that I was failing in school, dead broke, and without a job. I started smoking weed a lot more than I used to. The weed didn't make things better either, despite what I tried to tell myself. It made things worse because I became more paranoid, and began to withdraw myself from people. I didn't want to talk to anyone about my problems because I felt that people would either make light of them, or that I would just be a burden. As a result, I didn't want have anyone to tell me that it was going to be okay and that it was going to get better. Why am I saying this? Because depression is real. It is a terrible illness that has taken the lives of thousands. If you suffer from depression do not be afraid to get the help that you need, and if you know some one who does, just be there for them. Let them know that you love them, that they have people who love them, and that it's going to get better.

The treaty web is why this place sucks.

This is my fifth re-roll lol.

Wouldn't wish cancer on my worst enemy. Godspeed.

Check out Kashmir. It's not like most alliances where you're regarded as a tech farm, a foot soldier, and not much else. Here you'll actually have a say in how the alliance is run and you'll be encouraged to actually contribute. Did I mention that you'll get start up aid? :ehm:
