OKay folks. Depression. Im f***ing sick and tired with dealing with depression. Not just my own, but other peoples'. Its annoying as hell when every day you have some whiney a** emo s*** going on. I mean, every day I do my usual morning routine, consisting of x-chat 2, GAIM, MSN, and iTunes. I open them all up, choose my channel (always #omnimaga), then pick what song i wanna listen to (usually always start with Smoke on the Water). So Im pretty much content. The whole day. But, something else has entered my endless cycle of day-to-day routine and its thrown me completely for a loop. Depression. Agian. I'll leabe out names, but its probably easy to guess who im talking about. I enter #omnimaga and im kinda happy, still buzzing off the morning fuzziness that comes with just waking up. And all of a sudden I see that someone's put |depressed in their name. Oh great. Now, usually, it doesnt bother me, but this particular person is ALWAYS depressed. And has nothing better to do than complain about it. So I ignore it and go about my morning as usual. And of course by morning i mean 2 PM. So anyway, after a few minutes i start going bat-s*** cos iTunes is f***ed up someohow. So i'm getting a bit flustered in trying to fix it, but of ourse, to no avail. So that puts me a little on edge. So of course im b****ing about in in #omnimaga, and at one point i say something to the effect of "f***ing iTunes...". The person whom i mentioned before as chronically depressed says "..." "iTunes sux". And if you didnt know, seeing a single line with "..." drives me nuts. so I say, politely, "dont sit there and type ... at me. If you have something to say, say it." this one line, unbeknownst to me, sets off a chain reaction effect that causes me to invariably write this rant. Ok so then after the line of death, i say "Ima kill my computer in about 5 seconds" to which Mr Chroically Depressed says "tell me about it ...". Again with the "...'! So i say, again politely, "please dont type ..." which is the second trigger to cause the entire meltdown of this person's brain, causing him to explode with manic depressed rage. He says to me, enfuriated by my comments of contstructve criticism, "i don't complain when u act stupid because ur depressed." and so I reply, already on edge because of the whole iTunes thing, "well next time i do something stupid, complain your f***ing face off, i dont care" which he takes to mean i dont care about HIM, not that i dont care if he tells me to shut the f*** up next time im deprerssed and b****ing about my life. So off he goes, saying "well i dont care about you either" What the f***?! Anyway, its s*** like that that causes me to rant like this. I cant take it anymore, day after day watching people complain about their s***ty lives. And if theyre really s***ty, then WHY THE f*** ARE THEY ON A f***ING COMPUTER?!?!?! ONLINE?!?!?! That right there signifies to me that they have a house and family and electricity. That sounds like a pretty sweet life to me. So of course when im ranting on the channel the meltdown guys says "well you shouldnt to it too". When did I ever say my life sucks? And if i did, when didnt i say "my life doesnt suck, im just being a whiny b****"? I always say that if i say or imply my life sucks. So i say "i dont say my life sucks, i say things IN my life suck" which he thinks is the same thing. BUT ITS NOT!! my life is pretty great. I've got a family, a house, a car, a computer, 2 actually, and food (although not at the moment -.-; ). So im not even gonna try to pretend my life sucks. So i tell him that and he's uber-melting down at this point, so he leaves and probably goes off to cry to his mum about the mean boy online. And dont get me wrong here. I understand that sometimes depression cant be helped. I know that soetimes people's lives are really f***ed up. I understand that, i really do! but this guy has no real rights to sit there day after day after day saying how much he should die and s***. And i know, i do it too sometimes. But at least my moods change! Im not CONSTANTLY in a state of depression. And im not trying to be rude or hateful here. Im really not. I mean, I like this guy. I do. He's cool and fun and nice when he wants to be, but i just cant hack it anymore. Anyway, im kinda out of steam now ( i think i may have fixed iTunes, thank god ), so i'll end this rant here. I'm Loki, and thats what I've got to say.

depression does seem to be the new fad.  although i cant help but wonder if these massive cryouts are just the new defense mechanisms of how people handle stress.  theres plenty of better ways to handle stress without defense mechanisms.  when something happens to me, i always think about it no matter what.  i think about what options i had at the time, and if i didnt have any, i think of what i could have done to prevent whatever it was.  then i think, "would i have done it all again? like that?"  based on what i knew then.  i usually dont let people crawl under my skin because i usually just dont care what they have to say if they dont know enough about the situation.  ive helped a couple friends out of depression, and ive learned how consuming a depression can be to one's life.  what ever it is, just play by your rules/philosophy and never stop working on things that make you and the people around you happy.  i agree that if someone you know is unusually unhappy, you should do something about it; but if they are just crying out to be heard, thats something completely different.  they are trying to be unhappy and anything you say or do will only make it worse unless you ignore them.  d***, society's a b****!  anyway, feel free to flame or ignore this post, but DONT get depressed over it.  im a crzyrbl and thats what i have to say.

@Loki, you should record yourself and your rants ^^ give the griffyn (sp?) a run for his money

Use linebreaks Loki
