Have you ever felt like just giving up?

[calveless wonder]

shhh.. don't feed the lion

ortiz, not to be a dick but........

you suggest i hold it in, not talk about it in any avenue(since i already do that in RL)..be miserable and probably ensuingly go on a drug binge? Which in all likelyhood, would happen to me after awhile. then i crash, maybe go to rehab and REALLY hit rock bottom and then maybe pull my head out of my ass. I'm not sure if thats what happened to you, but i think it may have.

like i said, you see me/talk to me in person... i don't project any of this, or at least try not to. if we hung out or ever had a convo on the phone, i'd probably be all laughs or interesting conversation. you'd never hear me whine or sound sorry for myself.

after i put it down on text i felt alot better. still unmotivated, but not crappy. this thread could have been responseless and it would have had the intended effect. just realized i been full of shit with myself

i do kinda feel SWVish though for making this thread

agreed. the other benefit of putting down in text is that it opens it up and invites others to also express that they either have or had similar feelings (aka you realize youre not the only one suffering at some time or another, we all do). and its of course much easier to do "incognito" so to speak in this venue (internets) as opposed to IRL. sometimes its hard to express this stuff to those IRL who we are close with. at least here you have an outlet for it - whatever purpose that serves you. use it.

Speaking of which, I like how you keep avoiding a phone convo with me

I get that feeling about 3 times per week and I keep on trucking. Giving up is not an option.

If feelings of dread and anxiety are crippling you socially, as it sounds like they almost are, or you are experiencing suicidal ideation, see a doctor ASAP. The impulse to give up is not a moral flaw, it's a chemical one and we can correct that.

bro, all in all, I'd say...you ain't had it that god damn bad. You're going back to school on your parents' fuckin dime. Boo-friggity-hoo! Plenty of people would love to be in your position.

Your girl screwed ya over. Shit has happened to guys since forever. And plenty of us had it worse than you. Thank god you weren't married with kids!

Your job blew up and your shit hit rock bottom. Been there a few times bro. I know it sucks to be rollin' and have your pockets fat with cash, then have it all disappear. Short-sell your own house yet? How deep in debt are you for covering your business losses so far? Thought so.

I've never seriously wanted to kill myself, but there's been plenty of times I sure as shit wished I would die and lived my life with reckless abandon because I didn't give a shit.

You need to start doing something. You're in school and that's not filling enough time? Go get a job. Do something that you may even think is beneath you. Do something you've always wanted to do.

Attitude is everything brosky. It'll make you or break you. Get the fuck out of this funk. The decision is in you, and up to you. All the shit around you doesn't make you. You make you.

Be a thermostat, not a thermometer. A thermostat sets the temperature, while a thermometer only reads it. Set it bro. You can do it. You're mentally stronger and ahead of so many other people. It's ridiculous to watch you struggle (mentally - with this shit) unnecessarily. You're better than this CW. I know you are. I can tell it. I see it in your posts.

You're sooooo close. It'll be like flippin a switch one day soon. You're money baby. You're so money and you don't even know it!



You fuckin pussy!

this is the best post on this thread. i you

my parents arent paying for school anymore though. got a grant though and student loans to cover the rest which really isnt alot, fortunately. my mom's viewpoint vs my dad's viewpoint (the one with the money) is very different on the topic i found out. you're right though regardless

shit was inspiring. only thing holding me back is my own attitude and confidence

Time heals all wounds. Sure, it may seem like another line right now and that we're not helping by saying that we've all been there, but still.

I've never liked that cliche, wounds may "heal" but to take the analogy further, there is also scar tissue.
