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

Dude you are clearly in the wrong here. You are trying to wreck a relationship. Stop that and move on. She gave you an answer. You are literally causing this situation.

She's the one who gave me her number first, started calling me first and inviting me out. Also found my socials. It's not that simple.

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

The facts are you are trying it with someones partner. The fact that you are continuing after she rejected the advance is weird. A little empathy wouldn't go a miss aswell.

I'm obviously empathetic about it and not happy with the situation otherwise I wouldn't be venting in the depression thread.

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.

Was in a similar-ish situation one time and it felt like it wrecked me for quite a while, srs

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.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

Anti-depressants just take the pain away for a while. Its just another way for big pharma companies to rake in the $$$. They don't solve chit. Similar situ with anti-anxiety meds.

Any idea what caused the spike? You aren't on nofap, are you? And not a cell tech user, right?

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.

cheers bro, it's a lot of my own doing but also misery, lies and mental illness is so wrife and ingrained into society and it's really hard not to get taken down by it. hard to fix yourself when people are either incredible closed off/non interested, hostile or just yeah like I said, mentally ill themselves. hard to be your own light in this world, that's why this place is awesome because it's so different to 'real life' for me. it's like a breath of fresh air srs

Not a good summer really. I have just been counting down the days until summer was over. I have been looking forward to the nights drawing in and the temp dropping in general.

This. Weed is truly a trash drug. It's always been bad for mental health, but even worse now because of the high THC these days.

Nothing good comes from it

disagree. i cant say i wouldn't rather be doing something else...but i dont mind my job. mechanical engineer.

most people don't even understand they would be depressed without a job. people want to feel a purpose in life. thats either at the very least a job if you don't have kids.

people just like to fucking bitch.go be unemployed for a year and watch how you unravel into a depressed rot fest human being. see this is where i laugh...people give boomers so much shit for their generation but they knew how to cultivate a life where they were satisfied/happy even if they did not exactly love their job. They cultivated an atosphere at work which set them up for success. people today just bitch and are shitty at their jobs because they have some resentment this generation adopted.
