Yay, I'm at the ER for some pretty bad abdominal pain, haven't been able to keep food down almost 24 hours & fever of 101. No idea what it is yet, no appendicitis (had it removed 20 years ago), no hernia, getting a CT scan soon to see what the hell is going on. Can't tell if its a bug, food poisoning from the pizza I ate last night or something else. Wish me luck on not having to get my guts invaded :(

Yes, yes it is. I've been there. Thankfully I was able to get through it. Trust me. 19 to 31. You're probably unable to understand other people expressing joy because you're unable to express it in yourself. Thoughts of suicide, that no one will miss you when you're dead, that you're no good, that you deserve death, that nothing matters. Well, that last part is true at least.

Do whatever you want. You're going to anyways. One day once you're long dead the sun will explode and envelope our solar system and destroy everything unless we can get off this poo poo pebble of a planet and travel the stars. And even then I doubt our future people will dig up every grave on earth and take us with them. So unless you write a terrific book or make an awesome movie or impact humanity in some great way be prepared to be forgotten. Murder prostitutes. Get pegged or cucked. Climb some dumb mountain. Be in a band and gently caress a bunch of chicks. It really doesn't matter.

Learn to lose your ego. Learn to quit caring what people think of you. Learn to care about what you think about yourself. Know that there is always someone better. Improve yourself as you see need fit. Everything takes time. Don't give up on something because you can't master it the first time you try or the 100th time you try. Don't expect to ever get swole like most pictures that get posted in this thread. You pretty much have to be crazy to get super ripped. Retarded dedication. Someone who can see small victories along the way, every day, like some retard who's like Rainman.

Teach yourself cognitive behavioral therapy. Learn to understand how you act around people and how you perceive them and how you think. Depression tends to come with anxiety. Learn to notice when your foot starts bouncing during a sit down conversation. Learn to notice other people doing it during conversations. Think about why your foot is bouncing. It is because you're afraid of screwing up the conversation in one way or another. Then realize that is why the other person bounce their foot. Once you notice this and realize it, on both sides, you'll understand and the needing to bounce your foot will lessen. Learn to realize when you're thinking negatively and stop it. Whatever it takes. Think 'uh oh it's going south again' and then think about something positive that happened in your life. Rewire your brain, yourself.

We are star dust. Don't worry. Everything is going to be ok. Unless you're like walking down a dark alley and some dude pulls a gun and starts to demand your wallet. At that point you hosed up and you should expect to be shot a few times no matter what you do. What were you thinking, walking down a dark alley without a legally registered concealed handgun? And even then, unless your name is Travis Bickle, you don't have the gun on some sort of rail rack that slings a gun that's under your jacket from your forearm to hand for quick and easy shooting. Even then you already took a round to the neck and even if you survive you probably don't have that thing legally registered so you're going to prison anyways.

Look for weakness in other people and tell yourself that you can do better than them. It worked for me. I intimidate my boss because I'm so calm all of the time. It freaks him out because he's used to intimidating others. They say to imagine everyone in their underwear - I imagine what people would look like as if I.S.I.S. was cutting their heads off. Not that I want to do that to them, but just to remind myself that I am human and vulnerable just like everyone else.

There's a lot of backstory to this. The short version is Benny came to E/N and was a nightmare case, all but a lost cause with an infamous thread, then disappeared [into myth and legend].

He then shows up in Blue Story's nightmare E/N thread outta nowhere with his success story.
