Xerxys

Hmmmm.... I'll try again.

[user]northstar[\user], have you ever met someone so pathetic it doesnt evoke pity in you but instead anger? I grew up with common sense being beaten into me because I was one of those emo kids who just never got it. No I wasn't bulied, but I wound up depressed because "no one understood me".

Dude, have fun explaining to someone who has the audacity to come home from a regular 8 hour shift and say I'm mentally stressed. A job that requires you to sit at a desk. Person who is fat, sleeps upright because he has a "sleeping disorder" and "sleep apnea" but still eats fast food and does nothing except absorb the tube from 5PM to bedtime whence the cycle begins again.

Of course the person is depressed, what do you think will happen? Have fun telling this person to commit to an exercise routine not so he can be slim and healthy and famous but simply to enable him to handle the "stress". It is my solemn belief that when one has to adhere to a set schedule because if they dont, they'll be fired, (and it pays, very little but it pays) they're gonna have less time worrying and deepening a funk.

And you work with emotionally disturbed children. Not the same. Hmmm, wait a minute, maybe so, I would encourage them to take up extra classes and PE, exercise, anything to make sure they don't have more than 30 minutes a day in their head. This I believe would be the equivalent of getting a job for an adult. You can't tell an adult to get exercise, if he/she went to grade school, they know that you wake up, you have to work and play in order to remain healthy. I'm not oversimplifying that, IT IS SIMPLE!!!! Easier said than done, I know, but answer is one thing and one thing only; get off your ass and do something constructive.

There are two kinds of depressed people, those with a chemical imbalance, and those who fucked. The ones with a chemical imbalance have a reason, but what about the ones who messed up,. well,

what do you say to someone deep in debt?
what do you say to someone who smokes weed instead of doing that paper due in a week?
what do you say to someone that drinks instead of buying food for their kids?

Get exercise ???? Pick up a hobby ???? That list can be endless ...

And life ailments man ... not illnesses. Being sick can only be cured by medication. I mean people who go on whining and complaining and filling your air with negative energy because they can't do something as simple as getting a job anywhere.

And Yes, the reason I am anti-social is my fault. I couldn't be bothered to get to know others. I only recently started finding out there exists other human beings I like and decided to befriend them. But that's about it.

P.S. Use the quote function man, it makes posts easier to read.

I'm not advocating for slavery dude. But that saying is also significant in my life.
