[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;43809330]I am kind of depressed that I am always alone too but what I am supposed to do? Constantly whine about it? I think there are more interesting things to talk about. No offense to anyone.[/QUOTE] I agree, it pisses me off when people randomly bring up how depressed they are when there's no context. Especially when they're not asking for any advice or help, they just blurt it out.

[QUOTE=Xieneus;43810381]ye[/QUOTE] Yay. Although seriously does anyone want Ace Patrol

[QUOTE=Roll_Program;43808621]I don't think you know what depression is, it's not some random bad feelings that come and go, it's more like a state of mind that sits in the background for years, numbing you. It builds up slowly and comes down slowly (instead of a sudden a negative feeling that happens over days or weeks). People who are depressed generally are fully functional and don't realise they're depressed, which is the catch. It took me about 6 years or so to realise. Sounds like you're just having a bad day or week, rather than being depressed. Please don't tarnish the word because it's a disease which is barely understood by the majority.[/QUOTE] You realize there are varying levels of depression that undo most of your posted argument. I'm all in favor is educating folks on the difference between just being sad at times and being actually depressed but you can still be clinically depressed and have extended periods of time in which you feel happier or more lifted while still suffering from depression, if you go months with happiness or complacentness then yeah it's pretty safe to say you weren't/are no longer depressed. I know i myself two years ago after struggling with my own problems had a period for about 3 months where i was feeling happier, thinking i had actually beaten it only to immediately fall back down into the exact same state i was before, no better or worse. Nothing specific even had caused the relapse, i just fell right back into despair and despondence after my short experience with thinking i was over my battle TLDR Depression is a term of contexts and medical formalities but being sad doesn't mean being depressed. I feel as if though while you think he's 'tarnishing' the term that you're over simplifying it with the exact opposite intentions that you had attempted.

[editline]6th February 2014[/editline] This is an unhealthy community to be around, the LGBT community in general.[/QUOTE] Welcome to an internet forum with people getting to know each other. Most young sufferers of depression have turned to the internet, with the depression cultivating a stagnant social life and making the victim want to branch out and meet others to share and help each other but within the confines and safe feeling of their home. That's why i think on many internet forums you're only a stone throw away from a mass of folks like us. Not to mention the sexuality aspect we have here, sure it's a changing world but it's still very much so a struggle to live a 'normal' life being gay. Not impossible, and it's not just up to us to try, but the world as well.

[QUOTE=Roll_Program;43810587]I know, I was just mentioning it's not something that just suddenly happens overnight. What I should have said was confusing clinical depression for suddenly feeling bad because of many negative external influences that all happened at once.[/QUOTE] Yeah i saw your intentions were good. No worries mate.

Just got the Blue Screen of Death on windows 7. This isn't supposed to happen.

[QUOTE=bisousbisous;43810670]Just got the Blue Screen of Death on windows 7. This isn't supposed to happen.[/QUOTE] Did you note any of the errors? or was it just a long code?

[QUOTE=mysteryman;43810681]Did you note any of the errors? or was it just a long code?[/QUOTE] Just a big code dump

ugh i hate that, well quite possibly it might have just hiccuped. Don't worry about it unless it happens again.

You should be able to use the program BlueScreenView to find where it came from. Might be a borked device driver or something. Or it could just be something random and benign.

His windows probably just decided to go like "lolnope".

[QUOTE=ultra_bright;43809323]What did you expect? It's hard finding dates as a gay guy.[/QUOTE] I think it has more to do with the age group tbh Depression is rather common among young adults and teens simply because they are going through a ton of changes both physiologically and in their school/professional/relationship life, while generally being inexperienced in handling such things. Especially if you aren't in an enviornment that encourages you to be driven in order to accomplish some goal, that encourages the value of the struggle, or if have no outside support, or are just naturally introverted/to yourself to the point where its hard for you to get the support you may need, etc. You might not even need those things to develop a depression, it could be purely physiological/genetic too.

Isn't there a thread about depression on fp that's pretty active? I mean people who wanna talk and rant could use that imo

I got diagnosed with depression years ago(almost 9 years to be exact) and when I get it I pretty much get to the point where I feel like dying. I frequently cry myself to sleep and have bad thoughts all the time. I usually ignore them but this past week my depression got worse and made me worse than usually. When you are there to see me fucking crying alone in the dark for almost 5 hours you can tell me it isn't depression. Holy shit the things you say come off as rude.
