• (2 votes) Right now I just feel like dying and I want a cigarette so bad.
  

  Sounds like a really bad time to try to quit cigs right now…
  
  Anon, I do a bit of sound engineering and computer networking, and I have a big duffle bag of wires in my closet. CAT 5 cable, power cables, RCA Cables… and, no matter what I try to do, every time I open the duffle, the damned things are tangled into one great big ball.
  
  There’s no use in trying to just pull one of those cables loose - the knot just tightens up. What I have to do is start on just one cable, and slowly and carefully unwind it from the rest. Then I start on the next one.
  
  And that’s why the docs tell you you need to come in and talk to ‘em. They have to slowly un-knot all these problems so you don’t feel so tangled up all the time. Medicine isn’t gonna “fix you,” it’s just gonna handle the worst of the symptoms - its the talking that does the fixing.
  
  When it comes to the docs, they’re pretty good at untangling things. You need to give ‘em one thread to start with, and they’ll run with it. They’ll ask you questions that will help un-knot all your thoughts. How are you feeling? Well, why do you think you feel that way? One by one, they’ll help you work it out. Start talking.
  
  Just start with one thing, and let them guide the convo. Think of that duffle of mine, and let ‘em untangle you. ~smile~

  Personally, I don’t like the weather. It’s rainy all day. And I don’t like pronouncements of great import by somebody who doesn’t have the intellect or knowledge of the difference between “weather” and whether.” People like that have a tendency to go freaking crazy about some hair up their opinion.

• I need help.
  

  Z, I don’t know how old you are, or how many relationships you’ve had. But they are almost Never Convenient.
  
  Not Real ones.
  
  Do some research into depression - lack of interest is practically the definition. That doesn’t make the situation real; it is the mindset caused by the disease. Depressed people don’t want to feel that way, any more than a drowning person wants to drown. They just don’t know how not to.
  
  To me, it is unnerving you would cast her off so simply, because it is inconvenient to you. To her, I guarantee, it’s devastating. The person to whom SHE was moving to - I notice she was moving, not you - ran for the hills at the first sniff of trouble instead of supporting her through her hardship. It says volumes about how much she can count on your support in tough times.
  
  She was willing to uproot for you. I hope she doesn’t. And, if you aren’t up for the real work of a real relationship, stay away from her. She doesn’t need you ducking out every time things aren’t enjoyable for you.

• I need help.
  

  You need help and support? Because you’re feeling depressed?
  
  I think we need to take a break. Deal with it yourself.

• I think I think too much.
  

  Yeah - don’t sweat it; you’re in the angst zone right now. Look at it this way - five years ago you were just out of Transformers” - the complications of real life are just starting to getcha, and you’ve barely had time to sort out the questions, never mind the answers. You’re kind of a “baby adult” - it takes a while to get your footing. What you’re feeling is perfectly normal, and we all got to suffer through it. ~Grin~
  
  It does get better; you just need a few more miles on the chasis before the engine evens out.

• I think I think too much.
  

  How old are you, Fox? I ask because the whole teen thing throws up chemical changes that make things seem worse than they are. In other words, it’s a temporary condition to be so perturbed by it all.
