I joined these forums as a stupid kid and now I'm a stupid young adult so thanks for nothing.

Maybe you should experiment wallowing in self-loathing, I hear it builds character.

So it's not like I have a journey of success to lay down on you, and say everything will be fine at the end and you'll look back on these moments and think how silly it was because, well, I still am in these moments. What I can say, however, is that you should keep trying, even if struggling once in a while, do your best at your current job and definitely try again with the therapy, or whatever medical aid you can use.

I made a mistake though, there is one thing I learned; one of the things that unleashed this all this bullshit in my mind was the thought that I had ruined my entire life or had no more chances and that's just the silliest thing. I mean, look at us, we're at our midtwenties(lurked your profile real quick right now), barely out of teenagerdom, of course we don't have our lives set. People make mistakes, mistakes cost time and no ammount of self-loathing and regret will make time rewind but we can still try another option, specially if you have people supporting your choices.

I think the big idea that I'm trying to get through here is that you're doing ok, should get some medical help and keep trying your best.

And you can always chat with us.

To be honest, I've sort of convinced myself that since I don't have money for a treatment or medicine or whatever medical aid could help, then I'll just stop being depressed on my own. Of course it doesn't work, but it's the best I can do.

I'd love to chat with you guys but during the last month every single time I joined yapplet, whoever was in there instantly left.

I'm so sorry you've been dealing with this, Ryong. Have you considered looking into low-cost/no-cost therapy options? I don't know what resources are available in your area, but some communities offer such services. Maybe something like www.anxietygaming.com could help? They're a nonprofit focused on providing mental health to the gaming community.

My satisfaction with the name "guy" has quickly waned.

Sure you will, I'll just never change my dancing Miyako avatar.

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
