depression, isolation, dysphoria

i seem to be the only one in this area who isn't always busy, i can't find motivation to try at anything anymore, also i just found out one of my best friends has been on xanax for the past two years

i resent the fact that america exists.  it isn't worth the suffering that feeds it.

don't be greedy. you really only need the dysphoria.. it's all encompassing!

xanax - is a band aid. 2 yrs is too long though. that shit is a tough knot to untie after being on it a while regardless of dosage. takes a good 6-12 months to taper off safely. 

btw being busy isn't always a useful thing. can be a nice distraction though.

True, but it's good to have something to do.  I tend to lose my sanity when I have too much time alone, and I'm seeing it start to happen right now.  Scary stuff.

I'm in that boat drill, if I'm idle too much I take up unhealthy things like drinking. I'm best completely distracted and busy.

I don’t even have the urge to drink, which is weird because normally I’m all about it.  I’ve just been sitting around doing nothing, or driving aimlessly so I feel like I have something to do.

I don’t make enough money

Have you seen someone to talk about it? 

Yeah, I talked to my priest about it and he told me to start working on developing skills that I can earn a living from.

I meant the other stuff lol...depression.

I’m skeptical of shrinks.  Probably couldn’t afford to see one even if I wanted to.

Our cat (she's only 9 months old) ran away because of the fireworks. It's been 5 hours now and she's usually only out around 30 minutes at a time : (

New Year's fireworks are always a war zone simulator for pets. Pets and combat veterans.

just imagine you have some kids. 

made a song that's under 4 mins long and i should've made it longer. 

Woke up around 1 ish in the afternoon and then have been sleeping all day. this kind of thing makes me feel guilty but, maybe my body needs it? I have the day off anyway

Have kids = never get to sleep in again, well, at least until they’ve left home a few decades later. 

I want a bigger tv but I don’t have room for a 75”

lol.... 75" is a huge TV! 

I'm still hung over and still exhausted from traveling for a week. At least doing a month of sobriety will be easy this month.

I also gained ~5-10lbs over the past couple months and feel like a lazy pile of trash. Time to recharge.

Our current is 55", but... it should be bigger. I think we're going for a 65" OLED TV.

Same here, 55". I think 65" will be perfect for our space too. And I think OLED is hands down the best option (compared to QLED).

Did you miss out on cyber Monday/black Friday/boxing day (etc etc) sales though or are things still on sale where you are?

Good luck!

just move closer to the TV, jeeze 

Mine's 80" - LIMP!

I actually do have a gigantic TV, but haven't measured the screen... got it for free off my friends' parents.  It's got to be close to 70.  Kind of ridiculous size for my cabin, but I like it.

55" is nice, but 65" would be the bomb.
Yeah, I missed out on Black Friday and all that shit. Didn't think I needed a bigger TV, until my brother-in-law got one. Found an LG TV that is getting good reviews which also has low latency input settings for gaming.

I need a bigger dick. It's already huge, tho. I fuck kittens

Nah my doggie - Mini LED (and eventually Micro LED) will surpass OLED as a superior display format. TCL has a 65" and 75" Mini LED model (Series 8 ) that have up to 25000 zones of brightness and none of the drawbacks of OLED (burn in, relatively short lifespan, etc.). Prices are also cheaper than OLED: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/8-series-2019-q825-qled

I have a 6 Series TCL 55" that I use for gaming on PS4 Pro and you can't get a better bang for your buck with this TV: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/6-series-r625-2019

As for what size is right for your room: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/size-to-distance-relationship

Also, don't despair as 2020 will unveil the new sets and the 2019 models will go on sale around February/March to clear out old stock.
