Time to finally accept that life is a random walk. It may bounce up and down a little here and there, but where you are emotionally today is very likely where you will be years from now. This whole “I’ll give it one more chance” is bullshit. Life is just going to take that “one more chance” and fucking do with it whatever it did with the last fifty chances.
Are you generally a happy person but feeling down right now? Good news: you’ll likely return to your norm soon and be happy again.
Are you generally an unhappy person and been like that for the last few years? In that case you’ll likely stay that way for a very long while, most likely the rest of your life.
Time to face it: this IS as good as it gets.

Blsdaniel, my word that is a depressing thought! Sorta horribly true though…Zoe
Precisely
Man, and here I was thinking that any replies would be people angry with me for posting something that “wasn’t true” and might discourage people.
But, goddam, when it’s true, it’s true.
The truth hurt’s, A LOT! I completely agree, thing’s have been bad for over 10 yrs, why change now? Damn, that sucks!
unfortunately you are so right. i bet i won’t be half as gullible next time some hope peddler tries to tell my almost continuously depressed ass how nice shit’s gonna turn out to be. uh huh
Well, it would be funny if people was to be upset about this when they telling themselves they would never get better, I would say that you right depending on the person, i think most people would fall right into the group you talking about because they unable to change their minds.
Even now I prove my weakness by doing something to accept more pain for myself. Sometimes we just have to complete STOP what we doing to ourselves, but to do that we have to give up holding on top what was once important to us, at the same time I didn’t know how to not be me…
I know a little deliberate schizophrenia can help. Half of me is always screwing things up, but the other half is a very effective problem-solver. It’s very hard to escape yourself, hence we are who we were. The will and force of the manic is just by its nature stronger than the depressive. That sad little fuck never wins, not for long. Even in protracted, lingering despair and apathy I can retain the knowledge that it only takes a single variable shift to make the world aright, even if that just means going into sleep mode and waiting for the manic to come back. It just takes a belief in some personal philosophy that works for you and possibly some meds (sometimes they actually help).
So odds are fuck the odds. 🙂
That statement is very true. I believe though, while my depression will always be there, I can atleast depend on my meds to help me most days. I dont think it`ll ever be as bad as it has been
I agree with what you said there…
“give it one more chance” is bullshit
“things will get better in time” is bullshit too…
