Man, thread got busy today like two teens in heat who finally got some privacy to themselves...
Looks like this thread and my Twitter TL both went bananas in the last 24 hours.
Oh well.
Life goes on.
Laura, I think it's awesome that you are trying to move past it when sometimes it feels so much easier to just accept.I'm also Gen X. However, I suspect my cynicism and pessimism was more related to untreated depression than being a product of my generation. I'm trying to move past the cynicism and pessimism that's pretty much been with me almost my entire life.

The ancient Counter-Strike, this is on Steam alone. There's at least 600 more hours I played on the non-Steam version .

Don't beat yourself up over the crazy things from the past 30-40 years. You didn't cause it, you didn't ask to a part of it so why should you be the one to suffer from it?
And the moral of the story - when a woman says no, she means no.Anyone try the new Wasabi flavored Doritos? My daughter wasn't impressed...

What's odd is that I would have thought the winter months (being Northern biased here) would have been more active, yet he we are and it appears people came out of their slumber or something... Or is that school?It is nice to see people from the past drop in.
Let's see if Sahib makes a cameo appearance any time soon.
It's the first day of summer and the second day of Brexit negotiations...What's odd is that I would have thought the winter months (being Northern biased here) would have been more active, yet he we are and it appears people came out of their slumber or something... Or is that school?

There are things I'd definitely like to change, but as I said, not so easy. Would be nice if I could.

To speak from a service provider's perspective, it is not a straightforward process as someone walks in, pours their heart to you for 45 minutes, sees a psychiatrist to gets a script and goes along their merry way.Not to speak for Laura or anyone else for that matter.
Though your sentiment is nice, that's not what depression is. In reality, there's still lots of research to be done into it. It's a very complex condition since it involves our most important organ, our brain.
Currently we use drugs to help. There's some scepticism of whether these actually work or are good. At this stage, the consensus is that it's 'better than nothing' as they are shown to help. The bad part of these drugs tend to be the side effects.
Unfortunately these drugs are being dished out far too easily (most professionals agree with this) and I highly disagree with that. Everyone has bad times, that's part of life, using drugs doesn't solve the problem.
For some people however, these drugs can be a life saver and life changer. I don't believe though that they should be a long term solution and counselling should be part of the package.
Seeking help is usually the first step to recovery. Sometimes even realising you need help is the hard part.
Depression is a mental condition that can have serious consequences which can lead to physical harm if not treated. It's more than just about the past, the present or the future. It's a combination of things that we simply don't understand. As we simply don't know why someone feels like they do. What causes it and what to do exactly to fix it. That's the simple reality. We have 'ideas' that work but it's not perfect. Each person's situation and condition is unique. There is no simple solution.
That's where we are with mental health. We're still at early stages because it's one of those things that doesn't get discussed enough. That's not to say it's all bad, it's actually good that we have solutions that work. Just need to be better.
