You weren't kidding, this is a fantastic replacement. Cheers for the rec.

You need a prescription for ibuprofen? That's way too far imo.

They really need to rename it something that actually sounds as serious as it is, like ExecutiveDysfunctionDisorder (EDD) or some shit. My entire life was being played on Legendary difficulty due to no diagnosis until I was in my late fucking 20's, and I was finally given medication and an understanding of all the ways my own shithouse brain has been holding me back.

I'm now slowly catching up on life. It fucking sucks.

This is what those who have never experienced genuine depression will never understand. Everything can be going perfectly in your life, but you still can't find the energy to bring color back into your world no matter what you do. The overwhelming numbness just eats away at you, and you withdraw even further. Some of us may even turn to substances to just feel SOMETHING, regardless of how fleeting the escape may be, and how much worse we know we'll feel afterwards. You are unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel, the future is bleak, and you will die alone in a world that doesn't give a fuck, so what's the point?

So you finally find the courage to confide in somebody, and they tell you that you just need to "get past it, think positive!" and that they also "get depressed too"... and the worst part is, you are unable to describe to them in any way how it truly feels, because they've genuinely never felt it themselves, so now you worry that you're just coming across as dramatic, furthering the desire to withdraw and keep your thoughts to yourself.

I'm currently going through a depressed period, if it isn't obvious. I'll be okay in another week, but it's fucking horrible, and I wouldn't wish this on anybody.

I'm always surprised when people online have a seemingly supernatural ability to detect sarcasm. /s

What a fucking hero. Salute.

Yeah, tbh I was kinda hoping you weren't going to bring that one up.

[–] Onii-Chan@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

This is a fucking great one.

"I don't expect to see any change in how we do things."

Oh, this is going to age like fucking milk. You belong to the shareholders now, mate. They'll MAKE you change how you do things, and you'll love it.

There's nothing worse than a smart person who gets lead down the wrong path.

Not a bad thing, just a really odd consistency.
