I've looked at the planet, and yeah things are pretty bleak but the awesome part is that I get to choose how I feel about it. Always. I am in charge of and responsible for my attitude and how I feel, not outside circumstances.

Perception is reality yet for some reason people either have grown accustomed to, or generally prefer perceiving this world as negative and fucked up. I just don't get it.

Life gives opportunities to those genuinely trying to lift themselves up. If you're going to just lay at the bottom of the ditch moaning then why should anyone even help you?

I'm not, but I'll chime in and agree that the way medical insurance and costs in the US are handled is fucking atrocious.

Fuck medical, education is rising to the point we can't afford insurance for medical treatments to begin with.

This just sounds like "have you tried not being depressed?"

I have an autoimmune disease which ruined my right thumb and index, my left ring and my big left toe. I am basically crippled on my right hand and being right hand dominant doesn't help. Had this shit for 15 years. It's ugly. It's peeling cracked skin. It smells. There's puss blisters sometimes which makes playing video games difficult since the infection have swallowed half my thumb already. I don't even have fingernails on all the infected. I started balding at 17. I shave bald because the bald spots are terrible. My fingers are in constant pain. I can't text with my thumb and I can't even write or draw correctly anymore because my index and thumb can't bend no more. It's embarrassing to show anyone my hands then it's embarrassing to wear sandals because my left toe is hideous. Yeah I'm depressed. Never held hands because of the infected fingers. I HATE shaking hands with people who crush your hand for a handshake and I hate popping beers in front of people. Also, I have thin nails so that doesn't help. Rant over.

God gave me a fucked up brain. On here I can behave and socialize normally even if I'm having an episode, so that constant is appealing.

It was a few weeks ago but it was a topic about "my demons winning" and you and some other guy told me to make Linkin Park-style lyrics

I'm a stand up comic in real life so I have a tendency to break people's balls. When I posted that I was joking, but your post legit sounded like Linkin Park lyrics and I was trying to shine light on the fact that you were being a bit mellow dramatic.

Because my life sucks, I have no control over any of it, I've suffered a great deal of pain and abuse, and everytime I reach out I get insulted or tricked into a false friendship.

I was actually a very positive person until about 4 years ago. My life didn't bother me much back then and I had hope for the future. I don't have that any more. I thought I found a supportive place to post and express how I felt, but when I truly opened up, the support vanished and turned into contempt for me. I ended up stuck in a negative cycle, trying desperately to find more support just to end up even more hated. It deteriorated my mental health fast, and confirmed all the negative thoughts I had about myself.

I can't even have online friends any more because I end up just using them as emotional band aids. I'm nothing but an emotional parasite. No one cares about me, the few that I thought did were lying. I don't know what they got out of it, but it ended up hurting me a lot.

I'm not worth anything to anyone. That's just how it is. I'm an awful person, I don't deserve happiness. I'm just beaten down, tired, and want this to stop, but it won't. I just have to push through all the misery with the only things to look forward to is seeing a movie or buying a game.
