I'm pretty sure I'll never learn my lesson. I always end up empty at the end of the night. Watching without attempting. Waiting for some hidden chance that I know doesn't exist. Inebriation is supposed to help me forget, but all it does is full the edge. Maybe I should try something stronger...

Sounds all too familiar...
Nothing ever seems to work. Not for me a least.
I'm sorry you're going through that. It's a hard feeling.

You need a wingman.
Or a really awesome wingwoman.

I volunteer!

I'm bad about that too, and I don't drink. Some people drinking helps, some people it just makes things worse.
 
I keep hoping it will help. Thankfully I don't go overboard. Too damned logical to do so...

This is a good thing. Truthfully that is a big part of why I do not drink. Addiction and then following addiction unquenchable rage runs in my family, both sides. That terrifies me. I got my anger under control many years ago, but before I did it was so destructive.

That is also why it took me so long to admit my pain level. I was avoiding narcotic meds like the plague. The other end of the reason I don't drink or do drugs is because of my very sensitive palette. That is not a factor with narcotic medications. If I was weak like the rest of my family there would be nothing to stop me from falling head first.

If anything, I'm addicted to my depression. I'm glad you've found strength where others have faltered.

A healthy dose of fear, and bull headed stubbornness helped too. Depression, the actual clinical version (not just feeling sad like a good deal of people do) is just one of those things you never kick, you just learn to work around it, work with it, or grit your teeth.

You can handle it, and on the days when you can't? I know there are a good deal of people here who care for you and are willing to lend you a hand. We may be digital but that doesn't mean we can't help.

I've never been tested (evaluated?) for the clinical version, as I always assumed its just the latter version. It is nice to have a bit of a net here, but as with all virtual things, they can only offer so much.

Ugh. I need to stop being such a whiny downer...

Well not much a point of getting evaluated for it unless you want to claim it on a disability form, or take a pill for it.

I've taken pills for it, I don't like the majority of them, and for that matter most don't work for me. They do wonders for others though.

I have a bottle and I only take them when I feel things sliding sideways. You learn to feel when things are getting bad after you have dealt with it for a while. I might take these ones I have more except that it is a newer pill and it is fucking expensive. even with my insurance it was running me $50 a bottle. Do I stopped taking them and just deal with it most days.

I drink, but it's something I've always been careful with, just because I watched my uncle get so fucked up from his alcoholism that I knew I wasn't going to let that happen to me.

But it means I'm an awesome DD when we go out, at least.

*nods*

Fair enough.

So, how's the weather down there? *chuckle*

You know, for as much as I've seen you around here, we've never talked much.

Yeah. That is why people love taking me to bars. Always having a DD around.

Grins

Don't think I could be less enthused if I tried.

sighs

Yeah, I have that effect on women.
