Up 7 percentage points in Gallup poll since Dec. 1. Up 8 percentage points in Reuters/IPSOS poll. Up 4 percentage points in SurveyMonkey poll and Rasmussen poll. One poll could be garbage but they all pretty much agree. It looks like Democrats’ chance of taking Congress may be evaporating. I know a lot of people don’t like political posts, but this is a place to post about what depresses you, and this is what’s depressing me lately. You just have to wonder what’s the point.

Well it looks like in the new year my insurance will cover a lot less of my counselling and I won’t be able to afford it any more. It’s depressing even though counselling has never actually helped me very much. Honestly the main reason I go is I think my counsellor is pretty sexy. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. But I promise I’ve never done anything inappropriate. It’s just nice to have an attractive woman give you her undivided attention for fifty minutes, even though I spend half the time spinning totally bogus stories for her entertainment. It’s especially nice how she exposes parts […]
Since nothing else has helped me, it sort of seems like the last remaining medical option.
Does anyone else here even care about any of this? I thought he was at least a sort-of OK guy, and now he does all this. What’s even more upsetting is how so many other people have reacted. The whole accusations of double-standards and hypocrisy and the partisanship is just so predictable. Usually when something like this happens I think “I wish there were a video or something of it happening.” This time there’s a photo but it still doesn’t seem to have resolved anything. I’m feeling even more disgusted with people than usual tonight.
So when I started seeing my latest counsellor, I did something that was maybe sort of stupid. I felt like my real life was too boring, so I started making stuff up. I created a whole fake persona and I’ve been trying to stick to it ever since. The problem is that she then referred me to another counsellor, and then I created a whole different fake persona. Now that I’m back to the first counsellor, I’m starting to get everything mixed up. I’m having a hard time even remembering how old I’m supposed to be or what jobs I’m supposed to have had. I’m […]
So, I started seeing a new counselor last week. Did the usual with downplaying my suicidal thoughts. But that’s not what I’m posting about. Things have gotten, well, a little weird. I’m sort of in a quandary now. I’m getting a bit of a (bleak) laugh from the situation, and I thought some of you might be amused in the same spirit.
Anyway: I find my new counselor really attractive. Nothing terribly unusual there. I know that counseling isn’t “the dating game,” and usually I’d be able to look past it. But if you find someone attractive, it’s always there in the back of your mind. […]
According to psychologists Ed and Carol Diener, 98% of a sample of college students reported more happy days than unhappy ones. In a sample of disabled respondents, the percentage went down…to 95%.
Do you think those numbers are plausible? Are those of us on this site really that far out of the ordinary? In a way, I hope it’s true, because I don’t want too many other people to go through what I’ve been through. And it sort of makes me think I should forget about making the world a better place, if almost everyone is already better off than I am.
On the other hand, it […]
Is anyone else suicidal because of the current U.S. political situation?
So this election has been really traumatizing for me. I haven’t been eating properly, I haven’t been sleeping properly. I haven’t been attending to my family responsibilities, my health has been going downhill, and I’ve been failing to look for a job. The disgust and despair are getting overwhelming. Every single day I think of getting a gun or jumping.
I’ve seen some things in the media about this, but I haven’t seen any posts here about it. My counsellor said she hadn’t seen many clients who were upset about politics–according to her, they were all wrapped up in their own problems. But for me, this […]
