harrold u focus on the positive mate. that's the realest advice u can give a person, trust me.

i had an uncle grab me by the arm a few months after his oldest son's funeral before, a suicide, and squeeze my arm, angry with me, and tell me that his son had always looked up to me, that it was all my fault basically. that tore my life to shreds. i left my job and went back to school studying sociology, looking to study psychology, looking to make up for it, to do anything to put down that guilt. and it's probably changed my life forever. but i came out of it. we rebuild. it is that simple.

stop listening to death grips

Well when there aren't many positives, but many negatives, how can you focus on the positives? Give him some realistic advice.

It's not that simple.

the mechanics are simple, the process can be brutal.

i mean u seem to have some pretty good friends on this site dude.

It's not that simple.

retti i don't know what ur going through here dude, but ur gonna be all right man. u just need to take it easy. sometimes something is gonna come along that just tears ur life apart and it's gonna be devastating, but that's just how it is. we pick up the pieces and move on. and u seem like u have some pretty big and solid pieces that ur gonna be able fit together into at least something every single time. just focus on the good dude and let the rest of it just fit itself together. it's that simple.

But don't worry I have a solution. Just do something aka. draw, homework, surf web idk anything that can keep you busy till the day ends. If you have nothing to do thne tie yourself up so you won't end up killing yourself.

Terrible suggestion for someone with depression. As you surf the internet, every click makes you question your time allocation more and more. The loneliness is unparalleled. In all honesty, Patrick, you just need to get out of the house and speak to people who will act as a positive influence in your life. Either speak to people you've known for long enough/know well enough and tell them about the slump you're in, and hopefully they will encourage you to get out of it. If that's not something you can really do right now, then you need to find people with common interests and put on a brave face until either you're comfortable enough with them to talk about things, or you're happy enough not to care.

Honestly, the answer to happiness is to listen to Craig David. I can't stress enough how this is the best therapy.

ur not sleeping because ur lost btw. sleep is to a purpose. if u run out of a purpose, ur sleeping's gonna run way out of whack. putting urself to sleep is basically an act in self-hypnosis. that's why people count sheep. or it's why falling asleep at the wheel is so common, because driving's also a largely unconscious, sort of dreamy process. but if ur too concerned with thinking, if ur keeping urself active, and i mean like in charting new territories active, then ur just not going to let yourself drift towards sleep. count sheep dude. if it doesn't work the first few times, keep at it. eventually you'll have built yourself a switch that you can flick to put urself to sleep pretty much. that, or craft another sort of ritual - a sleeping pattern, say - which is also basically just allowing ur conscious and unconscious minds a bridge or an understanding.

if you need any help whatsoever you have people that care here. if you need anything you can hit us up at any time okie?

you've done really well so far and although things suck right now you've gotta try to think positive (yeah i know how hard it is but it's a HUGE help when you can do this) and try to stop thinking about things you can't change, it's only going to make you feel worse and you'll be stuck in that repetitive cycle. like connor said, you have to take this day by day and see how things go.

you'll feel so much better once you've secured some sort of stability and able to relax in an environment without your parents pressuring/causing you emotional harm. things do get better but you have to get there and believe you can first.

take it easy retti dude

how about you take your dark feelings, then move them over here.

(hug)(hug)(hug)(hug)(hug)(hug)(hug)(hug)(hug)(hug)(hug)

to follow up: what you've done so far is a massive step forward and today you're about to make another with the help of Coolest Dad

everyone's in your corner

All you need to do, is think about memes. memes will help you.

anyway unless Connor bamboozled me again, moving is a really big step to make, especially if you're moving out of state so it's natural to be worried. you're going to be fine, the worst part about it is the nerves

yaa I figured that out

no hes just meeting up

you're moving to NY and meeting Dan? Good luck
