I think he means to say that you're wrong in saying that about yourself. You're not garbage and you don't deserve any of the bad things that have happened.

I know how someone felt leaving chat earlier now...but pointless being envious not being able to ever know the person's full situation...they could have it worse off in some ways even if they have more money or a significant other.

Wish there were more time for me to enjoy what I had while I still had it. Lost patience got in the way entirely too much.

It's easy being jealous, especially when ones mind has a hard time staying positive. It's so easy to look at others and think that you see a million reasons as to why you're not as good.

But you're great, an example as to why is just to take a look in this thread. You've been responding to several people in an attempt to advice and support them. :)

I'm depressed again, questioning whether this world is worth staying in.

Sometimes everything is awful, but this world is absolutely worth staying in - for the sake of those that care about us, and for the sake of the infinite possibilities of the future.

As if the alternative is any better? Perhaps you believe in the afterlife: then live as much of this life as you can before you move on. Or perhaps you don't: then nothingness is surely worse than somethingness.

I don't know. I'd say there's no pain, no loneliness, no distrust in nothingness, that's what I've strove to find my whole life so far.
Well, do you want an ethical solution or an effective one?

We poison our own perceptions. We expect things of this world, and the attachment to those expectations cloud our eyes from seeing the world as it is. It is not bad or good, it simply is. If we can free ourselves from the attachment of expectations to see things as they are rather than pushing our own wishes upon them then we need not suffer in this world.

That being said, it is a path to walk, and a journey to reach this end, thus it requires effort to work towards.

Nansen said: "The path does not belong to the perception world, neither does it belong to the nonperception world. Cognition is a delusion and noncognition is senseless. If you want to reach the true path beyond doubt, place yourself in the same freedom as sky. You name it neither good nor not-good."

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but it's just something I want to say and it's not something I would say to someone in person.

Recently my life has gone from "I know exactly what I'm doing and where I'm going" to "I cant plan for tomorrow". I am a university student in my final semester and am supposed to be writing my final thesis and just starting my final set of courses. At the start of February I fell sick and since then have progressively gotten worse. From what doctors have told me I seem to have a antibiotic resistant sinus infection, I am now on my forth different antibiotic to try and treat it. Basically I go on a treatment, feel a little better until a few days later when it hits me again.

This time last week I thought I had beaten it, then this weekend just gone by I have gotten so sick I am basically stuck in bed all day, though at least I am a bit better today. I suspect I may have been a bit depressed over this past month, stuck inside and unable to go out and do things like normal, even when I felt well I've been so uninterested in anything. More recently I get sudden pangs of dread over all the time I'm losing to this illness and have to calm myself.

I have overcome being deaf and having complete right-arm paralysis (for two years) after a car accident, so I know I'll come out of this minor thing just fine. It just sucks in the moment.

I hate when I feel down and it stops me from drawing. It makes me even sadder when I can't even express that to someone and have them understand...

Deedles, I totally get that. When I'm having a bad day and it gets in the way of my writing, I feel really guilty, like I'm failing myself by not getting as much done as I would've liked. In working on giving myself permission to take a day off, to rimind myself that recharging will help more in the long run than forcing it. It isn't easy, and I cerrainly have days where that thought isn't much comfort. But it does work some of the time for me, so that's better than letting it drag me further down on already bad days.
