Frown: Can't sleep, again.

I think I need to start seeing a therapist again, badly. Over the few months or so my depression has swung back in with full force. I can't take it. I can only put on a fake smile for so long. I haven't felt calm without anxiety for the last month and a half. I'm angry. I keep having suicidal thoughts again. I just don't know what to think or do or say. :(

That dude's in serious trouble.

And just for you I'll add that I completed the on line ten year warranty form for my new a/c units.

That's awesome! I'm checking out the site now and it seems really cool. Hope I can visit some day...
Most of the questions I get about them are quite silly, like "Can't those things kill you!?" :roll:

I feel you, and having a kid just makes me feel even more guilty about the thoughts. It's a perpetual "F*** yourself" in my mind sometimes, and I'm not ever sure what I'm supposed to do about it. Every time I get up the courage to talk to somebody, my mind seems to ease up and everything is "okay".

@Housing Situation:
Thanks for all the support.
This would be the second (nearly third) time something like this has happened to us. This is the first time it was a family member and this time we actually have a fair amount of income. It's not an issue I'm too hung up over, because we are doing pretty well here in Houston. If anything, I'm still upset about the "second" house we "missed out" on. For me, that was my dream house. All I can do is hope that it goes on the market again by the time we start looking to move back home. Nobody seems to live on that road for very long, but all I can do is hope.

:D Camera is amazing, but I need a lens for macro shots. I'm thinking about this one:

:? Something is wrong with the screen. When I zoom out, everything has red lines around the edges. Not a huge issue, but it would be nice to be able to see what I'm recording in better quality.

:( Bought a bunch of little plastic fish tanks for the mantids. They were perfect, but luckily Kit noticed they contained DEHP. That would have sucked... Luckily they were only $1 a piece.

I would imagine each person gets a "fill out form" as carrying that marble slab around would be a pain.

My brother in law worked at a cold stone for a while during his college years. After hours he would let us come in with our own toppings and experiment. The best creation we made, hands down, was fruit cake with sweet cream ice cream.

For those who don't like fruitcake, well, you've never had my fruitcake. It doesn't weigh a ton, and doesn't taste awful. I make it October, wrap it in cheesecloth, keep it in an airtight container, and give it a nice cognac bath every few days. Come Christmas, that bad boy is ready to eat.

:D :D :D My wife bought this for me.

I never got to have Metroplex when I was a kid, but I always wanted him. Granted this isn't the original G1 Metroplex, but it's still pretty damn cool! I can't wait for it to be released.

My mother used to make fruitcake. She'd soak a tone of fruit in a punch bowl for a few days before loading it in a cake. My dad would take it to work and people would make it disappear in a hurry. I'm sure the fact it was like a dessert shot helped, but it was popular. :lol:

Awesome. I am actually buying my older brothers Metroplex that we use to play with as kids. He is selling Fort Max on Ebay though.

Eating a piece of mine won't give you a buzz, but you'll smell like you should have one. The brandy really tones down that super sweet taste of candied fruit. The only drawback is that is costs at least $50 to make one cake.

Smile: The local Art Museum is having an K-12 Art Exhibit featuring talent from our County. Always nice to see what art kids come up with, and could be inspiring. *gloat gloat* In 7th grade I won $100 and a State Blue Ribbon for Best in Grade for what I thought was a terrible and rushed pencil on paper sketch titled Roller Coaster. I need to see if my Parents still have it, as they went so far as framing it.

Honestly, it was a terrible drawing.

:( The days at work are getting slower and longer for me. Its not even noon here and it feels like I've been here for 8 hours.

I really think I'm starting to get burned out at my job. And that's a silly thing to say because my job is actually quite easy/cushy. I've just noticed that I've been having that "aw jeez its Sunday and i have to work tomorrow..." feeling on Sunday nights. Ive been here a little over 3 years and its only started to happen the last few months.

I always have that Sunday feeling. Thats just work in my mind. It isn't fun, but earns me money to do the fun stuff.
