^Agreed! I'd waited a long time for the chance to see him and wasn't disappointed.

Morrissey tomorrow

I didn't think Kendrick Lamar's new album would even come close to being as good as GKMC but it's really good, I'm enjoying it.

Plastic Paddies out in force today!

People posting vague passive aggressive statuses about "keyboard warriors".

You'd think if Gordon Brown was a real fan of Raith Rovers he would use his influence to bring them Champions League glory.

Dafuq did I just read? Likely hood? Really?

One of my colleagues told me that the guy who founded Scientology gave birth to rats.

I'm looking forward to getting my life back. I work nights so every other aspect of my life is dead.

I have decided that I am resigning from my job next monday. I've written my resignation letter and now I can't wait to get away from the place. I don't have another job to go to yet but hey-ho. The only thing worse than being unemployed is having a job that makes you wish you were.

I've never seen that episode of The Thick Of It but I laughed at the comparison to that line. Well done! Keep it going. If you're benefiting from staying sober then there's no reason why you shouldn't keep it going. If you ever "slip" don't fall into the trap of catastrophising it though. I've been there before, feel free to PM me if you want.

I'm planning on going back to the GP once my current run of nightshifts ends at the end of the month and I have a few days off to return to normality. I have quite a stressful and demanding job in healthcare and working keeps me busy and I basically just sleep when I'm off. I've often thought that I would be a lot better if I just chucked it and never had to worry about it again but it's the only profession I have any real experience in. I don't really have a social life because I only have one real friend. I get on well with my colleagues and socialise with them at work but I'm not really close to anyone. I've had a few tearful moments in recent weeks because I felt particularly awful but they passed and I was able to continue with my day. I know depression is temporary but sometimes it seems eternal.

I've been suffering from depression again recently. I am 24 years old and feel alone most of the time even when I'm with other people. I have a low paid job but not a career or any savings to speak of, and I still live with my parents. Everyone I know my own age goes travelling abroad and stuff and I've done none of these. I have a girlfriend but tbh I'm terrible company and I make her feel miserable. She's a lovely girl but she would be better off without me. I have considered taking my own life and have attempted to do so in the past but last time I tried I realised how many people I'd hurt if I did. Fortunately my desire to not inflict pain on them is currently stronger than my desire to end everything. I have a university interview soon and should be looking forward to this but I'm not really sure what I want from life. I've tried doing the things I thought I wanted to do but they have all turned out to not be for me. I also suffer from anxiety and hate social occasions and busy places like trains, going shopping etc. I feel self conscious and awkward. I have been on escitalopram and received CBT in the past and these helped to an extent but it was only temporary.

Your only crime is silence.

I mainly smoke rollups these days, I find 20 or 19 decks disappear quickly in a puff of smoke.

It has been a long time since I have felt like harming myself or taking my own life, and I have come from such a dark place in the past (almost) two years. The 12th of November 2012 is a day etched in my memory forever. It was the day I fully intended to end my own life, and would have certainly done so if it wasn't for the intervention of a complete stranger (I wish I could find her and thank her for stopping me). That day turned out to be a turning point for me. For anyone considering hurting themselves or taking their own life, don't do it. I know it sounds like something people just say, but if you seek help then that can be the beginning of the process of getting better. I never realised how many people genuinely cared about me until I hurt them all by attempting suicide, don't make the same mistake I did. I know that there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for depression, but for me Cognitive Behavioural Therapy was a real revelation. It helped me to change my negative thought patterns so that I no longer got upset or angry about the things that did previously. These things were all either things I can do nothing about or things that were nothing to do with me. If anyone (regardless of who you are) ever wishes to talk, feel free to send me a PM.

Yasssss!!!
