More depressed than I've ever been in my life.
Coworker I'm attracted to has a boyfriend but is clearly showing signs that she's interested in me.
All around bad situation. Already told her that I had feelings for her but she insists on still being my friend.
We went out for drinks 2 days in a row last week. Feelsbadman

Showing up to festivals that I told her I was going to uninvited. She was pursuing me first at the start.
I told her I couldn't be a good friend to her if I have feelings for her and I thought that would be the end of it but she's still acting the same

Don't you think it's a little weird for her to be calling, texting, and inviting me out for drinks after the fact? It's a lot more than what I wrote.
I already ****ing told her I couldn't be a good friend to her because I have feelings for her

Hi all, I know that this is a depression thread, but for me its anxiety time again. Well, since early June TBH. It has morphed a little and is now OCD compulsive/intrusive thoughts basically 24/7 - primarily about pornography I have seen over the years, and the unwanted stirrings/twitchings in the groin at really inappropriate times.
I have looked for advice, but the main advice with intrusive thoughts seems to be "ignore the thoughts and let them happen" which is easier said than done. I am really trying to stay away from actual porn or sexual imagery. Hard to concentrate or focus as thoughts just come back strong if I managed to put them aside for awhile. Thank the Lord I managed to finish my University work before the anxiety started or I fear I would be in trouble and fail my course.
I recently started reading 'The Count of Monte Cristo' but am already thinking of putting it aside as it is not an easy read given my anxiety and lack of focus. Its this kind of thing, I cannot even sit down and relax as I feel like the intrusive thoughts are in control.

If there's a way you can transfer to a different area of the company where you don't have to see her, that would be smart. Go NC. Move to a different company if it makes sense
Stay safe brah

I miss watching Brock Lesnar. Paul Levesque has said wwe is an option for him, and he never was released. Guess I’m feeling cautiously Optimistic lol.

Thoughts on my theory?: I don't believe in depression as western psychiatry and medicine tends to define it, as some neurchemical imbalance that is treated with medication. I don't think mere neurochemistry is a big part of the equation, and medication isn't going to fix the issue - but it might offer relief from the symptoms.
I think depression is your subconscious screaming at you that something isn't right and it needs to change. It's lifestyle. 99% of depression is just having a sucky life that no one would want to live. No sense of purpose, incel, bad look, low social status, not enough human interaction, not enough reward for perceived hard work, no life structure, not earning enough money, sleeping too late, sleeping in too late, messed up sleep cycle, monotonous routine, too much screen time, not enough nature, not enough adventure etc.
People are depressed because their life sucks or otherwise devoid of meaning. The key isn't to take meds. It's to unsuck your life.

Is any life truly and utterly unsuckable? Circumstances can always change. No job? Get job. No GF? Get GF. Not enough money? Work for promotion. No friends or loser friends? Find new friends. Body out of shape? Exercise and lifting. Norwood? Hair transplant. Manlet? That weird-ass surgery in Europe that breaks your bones and adds 4 inches to your height.
The only variable that I think truly cannot be within your control is aging.
If one is just feeling sad and lonely, lifestyle factors can be changed with active effort on behalf of the person. If it's literally inability to do tasks like get into the shower or get dressed, that would need some actual medical treatment.
I understand the serotonin theory has been debunked by academic psychology. I really think as of now, what this is is a perfectly rational reaction to an intolerable situation.
Back off, Warchild.

Well summer is over. Good summer for everyone? I met someone and went on 3 trips away so that was a bonus. Negative side is that i fear im going to be sacked.
Really good summer overall.
Plus for whatever reason i feel depressed once every 3 days. Like crippling.
