    Ok but seriously, why would they suggest that?

    make a 64x64 sig with the avatars you want

    Do it. I'm depressed, I have issues, so I take antidepressants and I see a psychologist. And as soon as I'm able to, I'm going to see a therapist. It's not my fault I have OCD in the first place, so there's no reason I should be ashamed of taking medication and getting help.

    I feel you, man, especially on the bed thing. But being depressed in response to shitty circumstances is entirely natural. I'm with Dyna, if it goes on for months that might be the time to think about therapy + medication.

    I'm sorry, what happened? :(

    My girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me for what amounts to "you're perfect, our relationship was perfect, and you've done nothing wrong, but my brother died and I can't handle our relationship until I have gotten over that." Over the phone, no less.

    She doesn't want to see me, yet she still tells me she loves me and all that so basically I'm sitting here confused and heartbroken, and every time I try to talk about it she's the one who ends up mad. I'm the one who should be fucking getting mad here.


    Her pain from her loss is unmeasurable, I understand that. Not only was her brother one of her best friends (they talked every single day, even though he lived on the other side of the world), he was also her father figure given that her biological father is a deadbeat alcoholic who chose a bottle over her and her family.

    It kills me that she is hurting so bad, but it also makes me so fucking angry that she can be so cold, cruel and callous towards the person she's talked about marrying.

    Seconded. Being emotionally troubled and seeking medical help does not make you crazy.

    Failing to seek help does.

    I feel ya, Gooey.

    My fiancee left me a few months ago. We had been together for 5 years.

    Know that there might be something else going on if she left. While grief is pretty bad, that strikes me as a little odd.

    Jacob, you should contribute your expertise in the book thread on trashy romance novels.

    God, so true. "He chastely admired her pale, well-turned ankle from a discreet distance." *fapfapfap*

    It's funny. My wife has rather the collection of romance novels, though she prefers a few select authors. Heavy on Howard, Devereaux, Kleypas, as I recall. The outliers are the strange ones. One Cartwell book, for example. One of these things is not like the others...

    ...you know what, I think you BOTH need some time in the therapist's office, actually. Individual and group sessions. There are some issues here that need to be handled solo, and others you can't solve without the help of the other.

    People tell me there's no shame in it, but I can't help but feel it.

    I come from a family where my father grew up poor-as-dirt on a pissant south Texas peanut farm and worked his way to an executive for a Fortune 250 company, and is world-renowned in his field. I have a brother who is incredibly successful for his age, and is basically "that guy" who takes everything in stride and lives a perfect life.

    And then there's me. I'm mildly successful, I guess, but it's only because I try so goddamn hard at everything. I don't know the meaning of the word quit, and I have always given everything into my life because that's the kind of person I am. Yet here I am, in my mid 20's, having my retired parents live with me because I can barely hold things together. I come from a family where "pills and doctors are for pussies". And the only thing I've ever wanted is to just be happy.
