Re: I feel down
Then why did you post? No one is forcing you to read it.
Re: I feel down
Because as far as I'm concerned the best advice is to do something. Nobody here can help someone with their specific problem(s) - all that can be provided is false confidence.
If someone really wants to sort out a problem, they should do it. But these depressive threads serve no purpose except to whine and complain, solve nothing, and frankly I'm sick of it. I know enough people in the direct vicinity who can moan endlessly, but when push comes to shove don't actually do anything to help themselves, thankyouverymuch.
But perhaps some people do get a kick out of dishing out hollow, disney-esque advice. I don't know.

Re: I feel down
Worrying is like a rocking chair - it give you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere.
I needed the place to vent, that's why I came here. And as HT said, we're all strangers and we all vent here.
Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: I feel down
Which is exactly what you're doing now.
I think you're underestimating how good it can feel to just say what you have on your chest sometimes to total strangers. They might not give usefull advice, but you've been able to say it at least, and that helps putting everything in perspective and getting over it.

Re: I feel down
Oh, sure, convince yourself that people who know nothing about the real problems can give any meaningful advice. Heck, even Edyz in his opening post admitted it was a rant, and I see no need to accept yet another semi-emo rant.
I've said it before, and said it again. Only the person involved can solve it, possibly together with people in the direct neighborhood. All that can be offered here is hollow comfort, and seeking the necessary advice here is a complete waste of time when problems need solving.

Re: I feel down
I have to disagree Geoffrey, for one its good to just vent sometimes and as none of us are personally involved in his problems he can vent without annoying anyone and in complete confidence. Secondly there is good advice to be had sometimes, i mean noone has a cure all but people might have gone through a similar thing themself and can say what they did to remove the problem.
Im not a big fan of whining but it was there in the title, if you don't want to see whining don't enter a topic with a depressed face and the title I feel down, goto the I feel great topic for a pick me up.
In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
Re: I feel down
Bah, we're all strangers here, and the tone is friendly; it's the perfect place to went.

This is The Frontroom, where people chat with their buddies at the Org.
Deal with it.

Re: I feel down
By the by, I came home after work to an office floor covered with the dog's breakfast, which seems to have erupted from every orifice in his body.
The next snotty post in this thread gets a virtual representation of my mood on their account.

Re: I feel down
And what is that mood?
Do you want to talk about, Beirut? Cos here's the place.
Re: I feel down
Well...And what is that mood?
Do you want to talk about, Beirut? Cos here's the place.
Mrs. Beirut pulls up to the house just as me and the guy I work with are detaching the chipper in the driveway. While I'm getting my gear out of his pickup, she goes inside and then comes out of the house and tells me that the office floor is covered with poop and diarrhea and barf. I have as strong a stomach as the next guy, but this had me right at the edge. The room was pretty warm and the air was, shall we say, thick. And the deal is, if the dog does it, I deal with it.
But I'd rather clean up dog shmoop and barf than see people getting nasty with their fellow Orgsters who are feeling a might down. This is the Frontroom and friendliness will be enforced at axe point is required.
But other than that I had a good day and made good coin. Just very tired.

Re: I feel down
I have a similar story.
After a night out, 2 mates were crashing at my place, on the floor. Gave them some bed linen and they got some cushions off the sofa. One of them was let's say more than socially drunk. Long story short, I wake up in the morning to see the both of them covered in vomit, which apparently the drunk guy doesn't even remember doing, since he accused the other guy when he woke up. They slept all night in that stuff!
The stench was so bad I just wrapped the linen into a ball, put it in a bag and binned the whole thing.
So... i guess the best thing to do in your situation is to burn the house down and build a new one?Best cleaning ever. Make sure you save the scotch though.
