Well, since everyone but Tanner and Bentley kinda suck right now...allow me to add that clinical depression is really unpleasant.

I don't think I've ever talked about it here, but I've been on antidepressants for the last 5 years. Apparently it's a genetic thing because back in '08 when I went about a month without speaking to another human being (other than those selling me beer, cigarettes, or food) my one sister finally got a hold of me and let me know that literally every one of my six siblings went through some serious psychological issues in their early/mid 30's. My first response was considerable anger...how the #### do you not tell me that BEFORE I went two years wondering why I felt like killing myself every friggin day? Anyway, I saw a couple doctors and went on meds and straightened back out to the old Homer again, most of the time.

The thing is, though, that when external factors come into play, like being out of work or having girlfriend issues or money problems or whatever, I really tend to go into a shell and avoid any kind of contact with people. And that, in turn, makes me get even more down on myself. While back home, I had tons of friends and family that would kind of force me out of that spiral and get my ### moving again. Here, however, it's a different story. I have plenty of people I can call and hang out with and have a blast, but they're not the real thing.

Having been a bartender at a really popular place, I see people I know pretty much whenever I go anywhere. And I'm always cheerful and friendly and heyhowyadoin, but it's 100% reflex. Being a bartender, I've mastered the 20 second conversation and everyone that leaves that conversation always thinks "what an upbeat, friendly guy that PJ is. He's the best!" But it's so fake. Not even close to real. Like I said, it's reflex. I'll be purely miserable and run into someone, have the quick conversation and walk away laughing and think "What the hell was that? " My smile is gone the second my back is turned. The whole time I'm talking to someone, all I can think is how much I want it to end.

And so for the last few weeks I've been as bad as I've ever been. Even with the meds, I've gone literally days without getting out of bed. It's so horrible. I've avoided every possible social obligation. I've avoided a smoking hot chick that totally digs me and I would really enjoy dating. I've completely destroyed the friendship of about the only guy out here that I was really tight with.

Basically, I can't get right. And I don't know how.

I swear on a stack of Bibles that this post started out as a standard TWP and I hate hate HATE talking about this #### but I really can't get out of this rut. I guess I just needed to talk it out for a minute.

TPW to those with real problems.

My wife has been on anti-depressant meds for about the last 10 years or so and it's made a world of difference, but every once in a while things start to get all wonky again and she'll go back to her doc and they'll change meds/doses whatever until they find something that works again. If you feel like things are not right, go see your doc and maybe change things up. Depression is no joke.

Maybe try some essential oils too?

Thoprawishes PJ. Standard run-of-the-mill depression is bad enough. Chemical-runs-in-the-family depression is serious business. Definitely hit up your shrink about adjusting your prescription.

I want to second the exercise thing, Homer. I was unemployed for 20 months, and about the only thing that got me through was going to the gym almost every day.

This is a good suggestion. The actual working out has a number of therapeutic effects, including the want to do it more and get better results. Invest in yourself instead of 10 minute conversations. You'll be glad.

For sure. For depression usually hormone balance is off to some extent. Google 5x5 Stronglifts . This type of program is 100% proven and works amazingly well. And you don't have to do everything with free weights. Machines work well enough to get really good results, but if you can manage free weights and all the required grunting and dropping of heavy bars then go for it.

GB Homer this is a real problem man, and hopefully talking here helps in some way even if it's all seriousbusiness. You need to talk to someone and it that someone is the GMTAN so be it. I have no real advice, but man keep typing away over here if it helps. TPW to you man...hang in there GB.

[FDAS]

So, I got a situation. Curious as to how others would handle it. My sister is a 50 year old loser. She was recently fired from her third minimum wage job this year. Because she can't manage her own life, she has to live with my 70 year old widowed mother. Also living there is my 13 year old nephew. Sister and nephew live rent free, and she is responsible for pay for her car, phone bill, and the water bill.

Total monthly bills equal approximately $500. She constantly fights with my mother, and is basically an unappreciative #####. This morning my nephew got in my mother's face after another fight between mom and sister, telling her he is not afraid of her. My sister did nothing about this, claiming he was protecting her. My mother has been saying for the past year she is going to throw them out, but hasn't done it obviously. What I want to do is throw my sister out on her ###, and beat the #### out of my nephew, but I'm pretty sure that's frowned upon nowadays.

 

[UOFI_316]

TPW Homer. My wife also got the depression gene passed down from her mom. I can warn you that when you get pregnant and then are breastfeeding you will need to cut down on the med levels and that will make you into an annoying POS to live with for over a year. And then when you start weening the baby off the breastmilk and your hormone levels are all out of whack, you will be almost impossible to live with.

Hang in there. I can keep up with making the wrong rooster choices on a weekly basis.

My grandfather's wife's 50-year-old, 400-pound son lives with them and is a real peach. I looked into this a couple of years ago in case my grandfather were to try to throw him out, and in that state at least he had to treat him as a tenant with notice, etc. Sorry to go all lawyerly but there's a good chance she can't just kick them out. fish or Thorn or Leeroy Jenkins or someone else who actually knows about real estate law will be by with better advice.

If this is Alabama beating the #### out of the nephew is probably OK, though.

My wife's family has had some situations where grandchild gets aggressive with grandparent. The parents seem completely paralyzed as to what to do about it, which strikes me as odd. I adore my daughter more than anything in life but there is no situation I can imagine where she would threaten or harm one of her grandparents without me locking her in her room for the rest of her natural life.

We rented a car yesterday so that we could go buy a car (####### Atlanta). After driving about 40 miles in it I went to the gas station and put in two gallons to get it back to Hertz with the same amount of gas. Totally thought about Abe the whole time.

I have to pull an Abe today with a rental!

If I posted in here more often, would that annoy Fish? Because annoying him is something that appeals to me at the present time.
