    really shitty it is, I feel fucking sorry for him.
    Your mate may have schizophrenia. Not just depression. But he needs help man.
    Nah he ain't schizophrenic or nothing like that, just suffers from crippling depression, he has therapy (both one on one and group) and it generally works for him but he just relapses every so often

    Poor guy. I feel for him man. He needs prayer for healing. God needs to pour over him and the Holy Spirit needs to enter into his spirit and life. In Jesus's name I pray this for him, whomever he is. Amen!

    Such a horrible and helpless feeling to have your mind turn against you.

    Feelings are a little like the weather and I guess we just have to dress for it the best we can. I think depression often happens for some reason or other and you have mentioned having some bad experiences lately, so it is inevitable that you won't be feeling yourself. I can only imagine what I would be like if I lost my cat. Day to day these days I am pretty good, but if something happened to my cat, that is something that would likely trigger the black cloud in a bad way. Do you have many friends? Somewhere to go just to get distracted and do something? For some people medication and doctors help, but for me I prefer to try and work things out on my own, read up on topics, look for strategies. I suppose at my lowest points I end up picking up a guitar and I guess P4P would say that is my lowest point too. Sometimes a little humor can work also. Weather the storm and you will catch a glimpse of sunlight at some point.

    I might have said that, until you just posted that you couldnt imagine what you would be like upon losing a fucking cat. Now that was your lowest point.

    It would potentially induce my refrigerator to impersonate Wagner. I wouldn't take it well. I have a relationship with my cat that even my wife thinks is rather close, but at the same time quite amusing. It is of course in the classic Greek tradition of an elder which is me teaching the younger disciple how to chase a ball and to hunt with toys due to the lack of rodents.

    No car and no money. Isolated. I also ran for public office in a small town, and lost, so people have run away from me like the plague.

    Can’t you turn that shit around though? Show those people you are in it for good. Look how many time Lincoln lost prior to making it. Nixon was a major loser, well you know what I mean, and he became president. You may be the next supreme leader

    Nixon?? There must be better examples.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Well my friend you took a stand for what you thought was right and now your left collecting your thoughts and perhaps feeling a bit sorry for yourself and that's ok given the circumstances, but don't dwell on defeat. Nobody goes through life undefeated (and before anyone says "Floyd Mayweather Jr.! Or Rocky Marciano! or Edwin Valero!" in the ring perfect outside the ring not so much). You stood for what you believed in and sometimes you lose when that happens, but you took a stand and that's more than most will ever do in their lives. I don't give a good God damn which side of the political spectrum you're on, you got in the game and you gave your best shot and that should give you a sense of pride.




    Yeah that's hokey and it's cliched and it's trite...it's all that......but it's those things because those things strike a chord.


    Has Life knocked you down? Well you can stay down or you can get up....start small and once you're back on your feet you stand up as tall as you can and you go again. If you're interested in politics try to form some sort of allegiance with those you most agree with (on the whole or in 1 specific issue) swallow your pride and get back up on your feet and make it happen, you've got this.
