I haven't left my bed in over 40 hours

This is a symptom of depression

Oh well.

That's not good. Want to talk about it?

Just exestential bullshit. Who am I,  what do I want to become, is being honest with myself worth more then being happy with myself. My own unique window on suffering that is pretty small compared to others, but still completely paralyzes me.

I'll roll out in a few hours to shower and then go work.

Ok, well the offer stands at any stage. There's no reason for anyone to suffer on their own.

Alty's friend seems to be having a full-throttle meltdown in that thread on Alty's Wall, which included one of the best testimonials I have ever received:

For a whore that purveys sheer chaos in a realm of order, surely you realize your own spiritual belief (or lack there of or puppy) shows you're naught but a madwoman of your own?

It's almost like he knows me!

Awesome, if someone said something that flattering about me I would probably have it etched on a coat of arms and mounted somewhere I could see it each day.

I know, it's kind of amazing.

Holy fuck, like i know people at fast food jobs are retarded but i just stopped a guy from making mustard gas.

I want to go back to bed.

Small windfall today, as it turns out my old shitty marketing job lost a class action suit and so had to send me a check of over a hundred dollars!  :lulz:

I've been in that place before, I think the best thing to do is to learn to choose between the honesty and happiness bits based on whether or not its useful to your well-being.

Is there nothing you can do about the thing you're being brutally honest about? Then go ahead and cut yourself some slack. Life's too short to beat yourself up over things outside your control.

Do you think you're avoiding an uncomfortable truth? then go ahead and use those feelings to look inside and see what the problem is. that is the first step towards getting a handle on things.

and above all, remember the wisdom of Rip Torn:

I just had to post this important link.

Hm... The legal notice is nice of them. My first thought was to use them on vehicles that DESERVE IT. I'm thinking my second thought is probably better. Slap them over the gang tags in the back of various street signs and power junction boxes around town. City will HAVE TO clean it off and possibly paint over.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

Being one in seven billion. With a pretty unique view on the world is kinda bullshit.

Hard to find people to relate to, and all.

Like, I think I'll do the math some time.
