It's not always easy to persuade someone to get help. It's the age old cliche of "you can't help someone until they want to help themselves". That's not to say you should give up though. Allow me to explain. Last month I tried to kill myself. I was alone in my flat at around 2 in the morning...

Yes, repeatedly. The last few times I've fought my way out without the aid of pills or therapy but I'm currently in a state or relapse and it's the worst I've felt in years. I feel like everything I've achieved so far means nothing, that I have no direction, that I have no impact on anything...

It took 3 girlfriends for me to realise it was a bad idea.

Jump in the deep end. It's tough at first if you're nervous and probably will continue to be for the first few times, but keep doing it. Think of things before you go out which you could use to strike up a conversation, music, movies, tv, whatever basic subject you can think of, this is a...

Hell yes. I've moved around, I have an interesting (if not always necessarily proud) history, I know what my passion is and I'm pursuing it and that is music. I rarely talk about anything besides it. Comparing genres? Could go on forever and make them fun and find new ways to interpret them...

It's currently 3:20AM where I am and I have to work in a few hours. Been looking things up for the past few hours and trying to sort out various... challenges I have to confront. I find myself on The Escapist and post on a few threads when it dawns on me I haven't posted regularly for a good 8...

You know I really, really, really wanted to post 'cool story bro' and be done with it but your post actually carries some weight. MelasZepheos pretty much covered everything I wanted to say, however I'll just elaborate a little further: On text based communication the human element is removed...

Yeah I've been getting a lot of those lately, however I won't turn this thread into a competition...

Just relax, communicate directly, don't bullshit your way through, don't sell yourself short.

Play guitar. Play and play and play until I'm as good as Ben Weinman.

Valentines day, because only weak people need other people. No that's not a good contribution. Must try harder. However the truth is I just dont care about it enough to really be outraged at the disgusting corporate scam that it is. If couples are happy to be duped into spending thier...

Pretty good actually.

My comforting truth is that I'm not such a jumped up egocentric fuckwit with an overinflated sense of my own self importance and intelligence that I think strangers in the street are thinking of ways to harm me. They have better things to think about, we all do.

It's true, that's what it's like where I work. Apparently some managers take the whole 'good leaders give their team a common enemy so they'll work together better' a bit too seriously.

Well it's as close to perfection as a game can get so there's only one thing to do. Enjoy.
