I sympathise completely, Sir.

And if you can't hug us, hug your "other" Family.

I'm not sure what I could say to cheer you up D:

This might.

Yeah, depression isn't fun. Neither is being continually fucked over by office politics. If I don't quit before the holidays, I'll be surprised.

You know the only thing that really helped me through tough times in the workplace;

Stealing supplies. Like...a LOT. My garage has a good few hundred pounds worth of fabric they never even noticed went missing. I also got a foam latex arm!

I also got a foam latex arm!

Is that, like...an FX version of writer's cramp or tennis elbow?

LOL Nice!

You are awesome!

Depression. I has it. In truckloads. Fuck cars. Fuck rent. Fuck Christmas. Fuck money. I'm going to live in a cave. I have a feeling I'd be much happier.

Paul, I know it's not much help- but we love you. Dun leik knowing you're struggling. Hope things get much better for you soon. <3

EVERYONE. GROUP HUG WITH PAUL. NOW.

Thanks. Seems silly, but that does help. A lot.

Yeah, I've been avoiding meds for years because I'd been doing ok. This season is always stressful, but it is hitting me much, much harder than it ever has. May have to find a doctor and discuss my options soon.

This place is always makes me smile, though. Thanks for letting me vent!

Vent away.
As recent events here would indicate - the vast majority of us are here to celebrate that which we have in common, rather than that which would divide us.

Enough division on Earth as it is.

I suck at maths.

Had a blast driving home from my parents today with a car spewing smoke from an oil leak that I had just spent 300 bucks to fix. Trip that was supposed to take 6 hours took 8 because I had to stop every hour to refill the oil. So suffice to say the car is pretty much shot and I have no form of transportation. I hope that mechanic who worked on my car gets into a Human Centipede like situation and is sewn in the fucking B slot.
Other minor annoyances exacerbated by my current mood is the sound of the ocean I have lingering in my beyond plugged right ear from a cold I'm getting over, the knot in my back coming back from sitting so long today, and this weird ass lump in my wrist that hurts really fucking bad whenever I put any sort of pressure on it.
End rant session.
And mad hugz Paul. U no b depressed.

Depression. I has it. In truckloads. Fuck cars. Fuck rent. Fuck Christmas. Fuck money. I'm going to live in a cave. I have a feeling I'd be much happier.

as someone currently using the cave method, i do not recommend it. unfortunately.

Hang in there, Paul. I suffered with depression a great deal when I was younger, and still have a generally negative outlook on life that I'm trying to overcome as I get older. All you can do is focus on the good things in your life and wait for it to pass. Christmas is the most depressing time of the year, for sure. The new year is always a relief...

I know it's z-grade trash, but it was legally produced z-grade trash, and it annoys me that all it takes is a group of three (most likely from the Christian lobby) to decide what we free-thinking adults get to watch.
