On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being fully functional and 10 being crippling existential crisis, how depressed are you feeling right now?

I'm at a solid 6 and climbing. Ah, depression, my old friend.

Hey now. You know where I am if you need me Lukesy..I average out okay, but at times, I have no scale to measure it; I get completely overwhelmed by it. Big hugs

@UndeadPrivateer I know how awful depression is. So many times when I wanted to stop chemotherapy, you encouraged me to keep going. You're a rare gem, priceless. Just know you're not alone okay?? 🤗🤗🤗

@SW-User I'm glad I could help you and that you were able to make it through that ordeal. And thank you for being there as a friend for me. 🤗🤗🤗

@UndeadPrivateer always! Don't you forget that, either![image deleted]

I was on a 7 this morning. I straightened odd bits of my hair and felt like shit. I managed to coax a bit of fun out of me but im now worn out.

Big hugs my friend and sending you some light 🤗🤗

@Gangstress Sorry you're having a rough time too, my friend. I'm glad you were at least able to get a little joy. 🤗🤗
Gangstress · 41-45, F
@UndeadPrivateer im here if you ever need to vent buddy 🤗 hope things get better soon x

@Gangstress Thank you, it is genuinely appreciated.
I'm in my normal range...7-9

I hope you feel better soon.
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@Pinkstarburst Oof, I have been there. I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon too.
@UndeadPrivateer It's my normal. I'm never below a five. I've just learned to manage it and do the best I can day to day.
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@Pinkstarburst I was that way from about 19 to 24 or so. Long term depression sucks, but I'm glad you at least have ways to deal.
Im at a 3 at most.
I hope things get better>.<

@TURTLEGOD Thank you for the kind thought.

2 when I logged on, about a 7 now!
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@Harriet03 That's quite a spike!

@UndeadPrivateer 🤷‍♀️
You know the only way to get out of depression is to involve your mind on doing something productive. Try taking a risk at changing jobs or doing whatever excites you in your profession.
@UndeadPrivateer Take up courses from Coursera or Khan academy...and volunteer so as to get work experience.
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@Vivaci Student loans and chronic illness throw wrenches into both of those. My best option right now is staying the course on my current projects and doing my best to get them done and out on the market.
@UndeadPrivateer There you go....you said it! 😊👍️

Just make a nice beautiful illustration of your roadmap for the next two years and post it across your bed. So that when you sit like this cat.... you're inspired and motivated everyday! ✌️🤗
I definitely understand... I'm left feeling extremely hollow and low after my performance last night. Trying to shake off the slime of negative thought and crawl away, before I get stuck in the mire.
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
I'm hovering around a 4. But that's mostly because of over indulging on the booze and food lately and not exercising if I can clean that up I can probably knock it down to a 2
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@MrBlueGuy Booze will definitely do it.
SW-User
9 and its heading towards 10, I’m scared that finalwave is coming on.
SW-User
Me too bro but I think this one is going to get me.@UndeadPrivateer
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@SW-User Hang in there friend. Seek out help if you need it. 🤗
SW-User
🤗thanks bro, my first tell tale sign is that I’ve been getting drunk to prevent myself from using again.@UndeadPrivateer
SW-User
5 with a bit more of feeling like a failure
SW-User
@UndeadPrivateer Mix in some existential dread, too. Fun.
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@SW-User Right there with you, bud. 👌 Hope things lighten up a little soon for you.
SW-User
@UndeadPrivateer Thanks. Me too. I have to do writing.
5 is my standard but I'm rolling along at a 7 or 8 right now.

Hope things lighten up for you soon. 🤗
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@ProdigalSummer Thank you, sorry you're having a hard time too. 🤗
SW-User
Was at a steady 3 but lately I think I’m a 7 at minimum
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@SW-User Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon.
SW-User
@UndeadPrivateer Same to you my dude 🤙 this can’t last forever
SW-User
Maybe a five or six. I try not to let it get in the way of productivity.
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@SW-User Same, with highly mixed results.
Prettybrat · 26-30, F
I'm not depressed just fatigued
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@Prettybrat Small solace.

UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@BrattyMel Does that mean you're currently undergoing the transformation into a supervillain?
BrattyMel · 31-35, F
That’s kinda better than my other thought 🤔@UndeadPrivateer
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@UndeadPrivateer Glad to help. 😁
SW-User
You ok buddy ?
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@SW-User I'm living. 🤷

7ish, but it isn't even the solstice yet and January gets so damn cold. Clinical depression [i]and[/i] S.A.D. I should go to the casino with such 'luck'! ;)
I'm about 8, i was 9 and felt the urge to harm myself
😳😕
@UndeadPrivateer i hope so too, i am teetering on the verge of a meltdown
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@InOtterWords I can understand the feeling, I get suicidal impulses a lot when depressed and had a bit of an emotional explosion a week or two ago. Sorry you're in that head space, my friend.
