Depression is becoming a massive epidemic (Please Read)

Robin did not have dementia. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's recently, prior to him killing himself. I guess he could not handle that news, which is devastating.

 

Under the right circumstances I agree and this is true in three states currently

 

Sure, that's pretty much what I said. Depression is certainly a mental health issue....it doesn't meant you're "crazy" but it's certainly a mental health thing.

 

I know. I'm one of them. I've worked with guys we had to keep our eyes on.

 

I have one last step to complete to fully purge myself of my old life. And I've decided this is my Christmas present to me. I am officially cutting ties with what little family I have left. I probably would have done this long ago but we had elderly parents who are both now dead. God, I used to dread family visits so much that I started getting physically ill if I tried to see them. They are SO dysfunctional. Shallow, petty, manipulative, deceptive, abusive, passive aggressive, selfish... just like my ex wife. What a coincidence! More times than I could count, their lack of caring for anyone but themselves has floored me. I remember once when my mother was on the floor writhing in pain, my father was too out of it and froze. He couldn't even dial 911. I was 500 miles away so I called my sister and said they needed help. But she really didn't want to be bothered. After all, her son had socker practice and she was supposed to drive the other kids. I remember sitting there on the phone shocked beyond belief. WHAT a selfish little pos! I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

But now there is really no reason for me to continue pretending I love them when I really don't anymore. They have killed that through years of abuse and selfishness. And all it takes is a phone call to remind me of just how sick it is down there. Hell, my sisters can't even manage more than a text message or two without taking some kind of cheap shot. With nothing left to hold us together, the best thing I can do for me is to end it altogether.

So Merry Christmas to me: My family is officially dead to me.

I considered doing this long ago when it was suggested by my counselor. I've known for decades that my family was bad for me in many ways, But I couldn't imagine it at the time. Now, I'm ready and feel the need to end it for good. It is quite simply the best thing I can do for my own state of mind. I don't want that dysfunction in my life anymore.

 

Done. Merry Christmas to me!

20 years late but done nonetheless. And it felt good to finally tell them what I really think of them.

 

I think many people commit suicide due to a lack of hope.

 

I understand. If I had to go through life as a liberal democrat, I would be depressed too. Ugly, unshaven women. Bad haircuts, grey skin, along with being generally unhappy about life... yeah, life must suck.

 

If a man is really happy, she must be doing something wrong.

Fixed that for you, in light of your previous posts.

 

LOL! My first sugar baby could be a playboy centerfold. And so could the one I see now [not to mention a 3.95 GPA in her senior year of college. They have all been very pretty and they are all liberals.

Don't be an idiot

 

Why all liberals? I guess because I will only date the nice ones.

 

I wrecked my nerves a couple of years ago with sugar. Even with gabapentin and Prozac my nerve pain was awful. You know that painful tingling you get when your foot falls asleep and it starts to wake up? Take that and make it a lot worse. Then there were random spasms of sharp stabbing pain like someone was cutting off my toes or stabbing nails through my feet. It was running up my legs into my groin and in my hands and down my arms. Oh, I did a good job at getting diabetic neuropathy.

I had corrected my diet down to pre diabetic levels without insulin. It was just getting worse. Even with insulin it was just getting worse and worse and worse. I could barely walk anymore because my feet were swollen and in pain. I was out of breath all the time. I was just waiting for the circulation problems to start taking my feet and limbs. That was when I finally tried. I had tried everything to get out of pain. I screamed and cried so loud the neighbors called the police a few times.

At less than a hundred and fifty pounds I took over four grams of dxm. I am not wrong in my calculations. That should have euthanized me. I topped it with some maois just to strengthen the effect and depress the system even more. I woke up a day or so later high as a kite and spent the next week pain free. In my trying to kill myself I found an ssri that worked for me. The pain was tolerable, but not gone. I was happy to exercise and keep my new diet.

The damage is still there and I might get back into that pain again. However I eat healthy now and am no longer suicidal. I am not thrilled with my condition, but I am also not depressed anymore. I don't know how long this will last. The doctors say I don't have circulation problems or heart disease yet. The nerve problems are not going away and my feet are numb. I was having balance issues and some residual running and jumping issues, but I tried some of the non thc marijuana extracts and got amazing results with getting my coordination and movement back. I wasn't expecting that to come back without some long time physical therapy but wow.

So now I am damaged but somewhat recovered and appreciating the time I have. I cannot blame people for killing themselves because of long term physical or emotional pain. If you don't find something that can get you out and no one can help then no one else can live for you, and living for them causes massive resentment and anger. I was holding on through all of that for my family, but it was torturing all of us. I get they don't want to see me go, and I do not want to leave for no reason, but there was reason when I was living in pain.

 

Well your life isn't over yet so have to wait to compare. Sounds like your just living your teen years late in life. All women are not like your wife. And what you bring to it counts too. But yes we all have all of the above.

 

Knew soem VNam vets who did the same thing,I think alot of it the meds they force them to take or no benefits. I knew a fine young man did 2 tours in Nam got shot both times then in 1980 shot himself. They made a walking zombi out of him. I'd take him to pick up a paper bag full of drugs.

 

I had my teen years. I wasn't lacking for experiences. This is very very different. As an older man we appreciate things we never saw when driven by hormones. And that also is why so many young women like older men.

Sex is life - literally. Stop having sex and you get old very fast.

When a hot 20-something asks me why I seem so much younger than other men my age, I have one answer: You! Youth and beauty will bring you back to life. Ten years ago I was ten years older than I am now. I was already dead.

A lot of women are enough like my ex wife. I have talked with probably hundreds of other men who can completely relate. I see it with friends and family and acquaintances. I see it in the media - on TV shows, in music, on the internet, in commercials. I see it EVERYWHERE. You just have to learn to pay attention and recognize the dysfunction men have bought into.

Here is an easy one. Watch and see how many times in commercials men are made to look like idiots and women are alleged to be all knowing. I see it all the time and it is sickening.

Men have been far too nice. We joke about how our wives make us miserable and for some reason accept this as normal.

Taylor Swift has a line about using men like toys. If a man said the same thing, he would be attacked. I sat here and watched as women on The View [I never watch but happened to see it one day] act with such a double-standard no one but a woman could miss it. They sat there slamming men and then said nothing about how she brags about abusing men.

If an older man starts chasing young women, he is judged. If an older woman does the same thing, it is all "You go girl!!!"

 

In three years, my first sugar baby gave me more happiness than I found in almost 30 years of marriage. She treated me better than ANY woman ever had.

I remember thinking what a deal! I gave my ex wife all of my money and she made me miserable. I help support a young woman at less cost, and get a playboy centerfold for a girlfriend who treats me better than my wife ever did.

Why in the world should a man ever get married?

 

My new sugar baby is as beautiful as the first and treats me just as well. We haven't grown as close yet but I've only been seeing her for about six months. The potential for a very close relationship is definitely there.

 

Stop thinking about yourselves 24/7.
Start doing good for others.
Bam, legitimate self worth and meaning to your life

 

The ultimate manefestation of self absorbace.

Why can't I be happy?
Why can't I be satisfied?
Why can't my life have meaning?
Why can't I feel fulfilled?
Why can't I be important?
Why can't I have what others have?
Why is my life hard?
Why can't I enjoy the things others do?
Why don't people care about my needs/life/activities?

Eliminate the "I".


A man said to the Universe
Sir I exist.
However replied the Universe.
That does not instill in me
any sense of obligation

 

You do have good points but what you missed in my post was not the age of the women but the numbers.
Since you like to use what makes us healthy then you also have to admit that married men live longer than single men.
Point is being single and risking all kinds of health problems from this messed up society is not the answer either. Maybe a happy medium somewhere, don't know.

But I totally agree with you on the attack on men today especially white men. I am female and I say this all the time about fems and their sick nation destroying agendas.
Ironically this is the only kind of women who would live a 'wham bam thank you mam' type of lifestyle. A woman who is eager to be used like a slut to satisfy the desires of any man who tells her she is pretty or wants a roll in the hay for one night is not the kind of women safe to roll with. If she will be with you she will be others.
All relationships have their negatives and positives. Some are just more risky than others.
If I broke up with my husband I would be very learry of having sex with anyone now a days.

 

Haven't you ever seen the people coming into the DR.s office carrying briefcases speak to the receptionist and go on back to the Dr.? I have never seen them wait they just go on to the back and in a few minutes, they are out the door. They are selling the latest pills and giving samples to the Dr. Before a medicine goes generic you will be blessed with the high priced meds. The doctor writes the prescription, and the pharmacy fills it.

 

Competitive and unequal societies are deeply unhappy everywhere. Stop competing, find someone to tell about it (do they have the Samaritans in America?) set to work to help others, and never believe what the bosses tell you.

 

everybody is looking for their mother's little helper.
A multibillion dollar industry wrapped around some of the worst science out there.
Speed makes you feel good too, until your a total wreck.
