Immensely. This is probably the only place on the internet, where you can open up and try and form some coherent whole of what's going on. Laying down...
Yeah, the thought seems to have subsided. It's like some form of twisted self-therapy, where they emerge and I have to start appreciating what I have ...
Uhh, not intended as that. I gave you or myself or whatever the case may-be the impression that the problem was solved, which it hasn't, and hence, I'...
Yes, pretty much. Although, I have found this to be an issue as of late. Namely, the retardation of identity formation enhanced through too much onlin...
Yeah, until my psycho-father decided that he wants half the house. I should be honest with myself, though, and can't say I should be surprised over wh...
I mean, at the least I have a fighting spirit from my mom's side of the family, so things aren't dire. I'm seeking out ways to address this issue apar...
One of the things that I learned from my therapist, that scared the living shit outta me, was the notion that depression evolves as time passes by. No...
Then, you point it out for me if you care to. Is this a motivational issue or generic depression? I'm going to assume both, so in that case what can b...
Well, I have set myself up for a situation that I have no need to control anything. I'm on disability and have no desire to change things as they stan...
In this regard, I lack insight into my own condition, and I really have no idea who would be able to discern the chaff from the wheat. All I have are ...
I don't have the luxury anymore of choosing my therapist or psychiatrist. Anyway, I've seen my fair share of head shrinkers and pill pushers here and ...
Deep question. Goes back to how my father blew up our already meager family relationship. In short, given my upbringing, I've become averse to either ...
All I got out of the concept of "games people play" was the wrong assumption that the depressive likes the game her or she plays. In most cases, the d...
Tried that. Talked with my therapist, and he has the attitude of being honest with me when I am not with myself as much as I should. But, when depress...
Well, forty isn't that far away. But, if anyone has been in depression, they know that time tends to drag out quite a bit, and sometimes weeks feel li...
I have been living on rock bottom for about 4-5 years. No income, on disability, nothing really accomplished, even college not completed. I mean, I do...
One of the few things that I learned about depression is that it is mainly a lack of sense of control in one's life that contributes to the malaise. Y...
I feel like throwing my life away at the moment. I have no reason to live, (pretty much disabled for life given my diagnosis), and looking forward to ...
It's too late for that now. We are at the endgame of this divorce, and my mother's lawyer is what he is. I'm really sad about this whole situation and...
Well, at this point I'm not even sure if our lawyer is on our side, given his attitude. He said he mentioned it to the judge; but, when we had a meeti...
To a moderator: Please delete this topic. I started a more general one about the logic of emotions recently, which I was hoping on addressing here; bu...
How so? It's just an emotional response, I think. I understand that. But, don't emotions contain their own set of logic? That's what I'm trying to imp...
Well, the standard of measure should be the human happiness index. If buying a Tesla Model 3 is within the means of the proletarian, then I can't imag...
But, I mean... You do agree that the welfare of the proletariat is getting better? My analysis in the OP points towards a future, where having astrono...
Kippo! Haha. You are fine. But, I've been having second thoughts myself about restricting where I try and rationalize things about myself. It seems to...
There's nothing more that I can say here given those statements. I suggest addressing them honestly with your county psychiatrist. Still, I hope you g...
Here's an elegant picture of the struggle and strife of identity formation for a schizophrenic: https://i.imgur.com/bpylngR.png In my view, most get s...
Are you serious? You must have some simplified view of opening up the DSM-5 and checking how many reported symptoms to fall into some category of ment...
Just an addendum to the previous post. Many of the factors contributing to the designation of being a "proletarian" in Marx's days have all but disapp...
Well, every manager understands that shit-paid jobs and unhappy workers don't contribute to productivity. Furthermore, the demand for labor has gone u...
Yes; but, let's not kid ourselves. Class structure may as well still exist; but, not in the same manner as when Marx was describing the socio-economic...
Well, I'm just going to come off as trite here; but, the US is a classless society. The only discriminating factor you get in the US is an educational...
This may come off as an incredibly bland question; but, didn't Marx consider the deleterious effects of competition on "surplus value"? How did he add...
