Me, too, actually, have been for a few hours over a week now. Put a bit of effort into it, and this, too, shall pass. I'm still a mess, but I think it's getting better, or at least I hope it is.

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.

Not looking for validation or pity with this one.

Life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

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.

This could be a good idea for you Locust, from what little I have read regarding your situation. You would get out of your comfort zone, but be within a support system. See new places, meet new people, and gain some life experience. Seems like it could be a good way to get out of a rut. Maybe look for a forum dedicated to these kind of organizations and see what is out there? Would not hurt to look into it.

Go start a blog.

Do you seriously think anyone would read that shit? Come on now be honest. And yes I know you don't want to read any more of these... and yet... you are for some reason. BTW where did you get your name from? I rbsx can't really be pronounced, or am I just supposed to read the letters, R.B.S.X?

You're schizophrenic now as well? :awe:

Schizophrenic people tend to hear voices, have trouble interpreting emotions in others and or are delusional. Don't have those symptoms yet. That WOULD be worse I suppose, though not a hell of a lot.

Apply that logic here, do you think anyone really wants to read this shit here either?

Seriously though, Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Until you change something, you're going to be posting one of these threads every week. Get off your ass and change, or change the environment around you.

My initials are RBS and an RSX was my first car in high school.

Some do, many don't. In my experience (completely anecdotal) disorganized schizophrenia seems to be more common than paranoid.

The best thing that ever happened to me is that I went to university somewhere where nobody knew me. I went in thinking, "I'm going to be a different person." And I was.

I don't mean to make it sound like turning your life around is like flipping a light switch in your mind, but you do have an incredibly large amount of control over the direction your life takes. (In the First World anyways.) Emotions are ultimately meant to drive you to action. So do something.

People don't have to read this shit here either. When you saw the thread title something in your brain made you click on it. That something could just as easily have directed your hand not to click on it. Or alternatively you could place me on your ignore list. Both are easy to do.

Yes I know the facts. I know I need to change. Question is if I will or will I end up in the ER or on the street.

I know nothing about cars. It's a Honda I see. From the pics it looks like one of those cheaper (not saying it's cheap) street racing cars that younger guys like to buy and mod the shit out of. Was it this type of car, or are these usually another type?

University seems to be one of the things that makes me go to pieces a lot of the time (and this time again maybe). Don't really like the idea of working shitty retail jobs the rest of my life but that may be what's in store. :(

It was an Acura (made by Honda) and yeah some of my friends modded the shit out of them.

Anyways, stop being such a melodramatic piece of shit, I know people who came out of far worse situations than you and many of them are far more successful than I am.

So, you know you need to change, the question is next week will you post another one of these stupid threads? OR will you change and start making progress.

Disorganized schizophrenia is actually worse than regular or paranoid schizophrenia. Usually people with disorganized schizophrenia can't even speak or carry out common everyday tasks like bathing and or feeding themselves.

Struggle breeds the competitive spirit necessary for success. Don't fault the op for missing a vital component of self-development.
