Snap out of it!

...did that work?

Never does. :(

Anyway, your avatar looks the same as it always does. Look at your avatar, if you need to be cheered-up. Works for me.

Think about children in sub saharan africa.

Many of them are happier. They deserve a fuck load more but they aren't necessarily unhappy. I'm talking about those who are not starving of course. Happiness is a subject that has been rigorously studied. They have done many surveys that show that many people living in 3rd world slums are not horribly unhappy. And similarly that millionaires are not always doing the happy dance.

Me too man, but things will get better!
Or they'll get worse, but then they could get better...

or worse again, or just stay bad forever...


hmm... this wasn't as uplifting as I'd hoped.

What's wrong man? No need to be down. Go for a long walk, clear your head, or walk and listen to something funny. That's what I do when I get the blues, or I drink heavily, one of the two. :hmm:

You live in Vancouver, how could life not be good?

Oh it has nothing to do with how my life is really. Well my life IS sad but like busydude mentions remember what the true spectrum is, my life IS paradise compared to Somolia, etc Not sure I could explain what is IS about.

Trying not to drink heavily, at all actually. Seriously I'm the type that could end up on the lower east side if I go down that route. Long walks do help but only so long as you are walking. I suppose if I walked 40,000 km maybe.

I'm pretty certain no one here can help. Listen to some tunes, and have a glass of whisky. That's what I do.

Be glad you're not in Texas.

Looks at JulesMaximus's location. Thanks man... thanks. Actually Texas would rule if everything else were OK. Heck an Antarctic research station, or Sub-Saharan Africa wouldn't be so bad.

Oh I know. I'm not looking for others to help. Actually posting ABOUT the situation and reading replies is its own form of HELP.

Umm... I know the joke, the subject mater is sad. However those are actually good songs. If you want to get me to kill myself post heavy metal please.

:D LOL, I'm just messing with you.

Please don't kill yourself...that would really bum me out.

Oh, and it is hot as fuck here today, I think I'd rather be where you are actually.

Why don't you go to Somalia like that other AT user did? I mean not exactly to Somalia.. but some kind of social/voluntary work.

The validation you so desperately seek wont come from these pity me threads you post every so often, it's a band-aid for a much larger problem that you either don't see yet or don't care to address. You're in the driver's seat... time to take off the parking brake lad.
