Well, I've come down to two possible things; I am depressed, or I'm being stupid. Or both, or completely without a clue wolf_blink.

First off I apologize, It's not in my nature to ask of help, even less to open up as it were. I'm not even sure how this is suppose to work, but I do know that there are good people here, and no one knows me personally (save for a few >.>). So, here goes nothing.

I feel down, and I've felt like that for a really long time now. I use to think that it was just something that would pass, or it was because of this or that that eventually came and gone. And that feeling's still there. It's been there for about three years now. I can't really describe it without being cliche, but it feels kind of shotty. So what's got me feeling like this? I can make good guesses using what's been happening lately.

Where I'm at right now, I hardly know anyone. Those I do know are people from the Tech school and from work, students and associates. And that's how they all seem to want to be. No one that I do know has any interest in hanging out or do something apart from our interactions at school/work. I can kind of understand it though; who'd want their job or school work in their home life? But sheesh...

And work, that's it's own little can of worms. I work as a "courtesy clerk" in a grocery store, basically I bag stuff, push carts, and clean up what ever someone spills or spews. It's a low paying job, with chaotic hours. But I do like it to a point. I mean, you do indeed meet interesting people, and learn interesting things. But what does get me is some of the customers and people I work with. Some customers are down right rude, never even taking the time to look at you, or only speak to you to tell you that they don't like the way your doing something. Others seem to have no regard for your safety or courtesy.

The other day while doing carts I was almost hit by someone who was racing to beat someone else to a parking spot. When he came out he started to yell at me for not moving fast enough. Yes, I can move quite quickly while pushing about eight carts. I can also fly and stop a speeding train. And then there's those who ask for help out, tell you where to put their crap, and hop in the car without saying another word to you. I don't mind helping people out with their stuff, hell it's pretty much my bane to help people, but jeez...I'm a bloody human being! Treat me like one, even if it is just small talk or something I have no interest or understanding of...

I don't know, there's so much to say and a whole lot of ranting and confusion. And a lot of little things from the past that are coming back. I just don't know how to describe, much less talk about it all without it all sounding so whiny, ranty, or bluntly cliche wolf_blank.

First off, *hugs*
It's not so much cliche as it is, sadly, the world we live in. Ninety percent of the public that I interact with are self absorbed, shallow, dumb, sheepish things that buzz around with no regard for others. I cashier and get similar treatment. I'll kiss customer ass like I'm told to and some people don't acknowledge me at all... they don't say anything, they don't look at me, they don't care. I'm not paid enough to buddy up with people that don't think I exist. My manager today was trying to get me to smile more and I didn't, because its not that worth it and I'd look a tad creepy smiling constantly.

I'm a very simple creature... customers that piss me off I ignore. I become quite apathetic about what they say or do and get them away from me. There are a few that still stand out in my mind where I just want to hit them in the face with a baseball bat, but I can't... management would probably frown some. Most of what I endure during the day is water off a ducks back. I know that the people that I chose to associate with are infinity better than any customer.

Regrettably, in terms of making new friends... I'm horrible. What friends I do have I'm lucky to have. Outside of work I hang out with a sum total of 3 people, two friends from high school and my fiancee. I hardly talk to the people I knew in college. Though its kinda weird that when I visit, its like I never left. o.o

So, after this mini rant... you're not stupid. You probably have a clue, but it was carried under the bed by the hot pockets... *hands you a hockey mask and a spatula* aim for the whites of their crisper thingies... its there weak point. Depression... I hope not.

*Hugs you again scritching your back* You can talk my ears off if you want... besides, I was looking at getting some new ones... maybe with some chrome and flames @_@

Well from what I have heard (in my un-medical opinion) you are experiencing depression. The conditions for being depressed are very lax so its easy to diagnose incorrectly, but if I were a greedy doctor (no offense to doctors out there I still want my pills when I need them) I would be giving medications out more readily.
I think you should go out into the world and meet people. I know it isn't easy for many people, but a lack of (good) social interaction is not very good for humans.

Hope this helped or at least entertained you c_smile2.

I tell you what, December has to much in it. Xmas is the biggest one, that and snow. It was pretty at first, then it got colder! Anyways, I apologize about the massive silence, things kind of literally snow-balled after I posted this, then again I did post it a few days before the madd man in the sleigh was suppose to drop by wolf_blink.

Rezz, You're wonderful *hugs back* Work has gotten a bit better, but there's still the usual muck. The day I leave is the day I will cherish. There is something though that brightens it, there's a customer that comes in almost every day now who never fails to make me laugh. Ah yes, the evil hot pockets! How they burn our tongues!...I could actually go for one right now XD.

Neko, Ha! Yeah, I have to agree...I'd be screwed if I couldn't get my inhaler anymore. I dunno, sometimes I think taking a happy pill would make things better, but that wouldn't really solve anything. And it would make it impossible to shut me up wolf_biggrin.

Well, for better or worse I did make a decision, that had to be made anyways do to that wonderful thing called money. I'm taking one to two semesters off from School to be able to go back to it again. It will set me back a bit, but I'll be able to get more hours in and not have a bunch of shtuff I have to focus on. This past year there was so much stress and frustration to succeed, make others happy, and get treated like crap for it all. Maybe this break will help clear things up.

I did find a Magic group at the other Campus near by, I'll be getting in touch with them soon (if I can find where they're at o.0) and see if they don't mind a rusty player joining in. It'd be a start :)

I do not mean any insult, I assure you.
There is a large problem now a days with people finding something they may have, and clinging to it, so much to the point it actually happens.

I would highly question, and try to find ways of pulling yourself out of this if you can, and otherwise seek medical help.

I will say, that finding things to relieve stress or other outlets to experience things is never a bad thing, even if others don't agree do whats best for you.

However, always remember, that if you honestly think it is depression, I highly, highly recommend seeing a professional. This isn't something anyone here can help you with, only doctor.  :) I hope things pick up for you!! :3
