If Point A is 3 leagues north of you, and Point B is 5 leagues northeast of you, what is the distance between point A and B?

In before Casilu.

I need to know the initial speed of jackass's car, the material of the road (for the friction value) and the entire history of the Talan player's car to determine the strength of the brakes. We can figure this out, people!

PS. Are you okay?

You forgot weight of the cars.


Jerk.

Damnation! I knew I forgot something vital

I hope you enemied him to Glomdoring! And I hope you're ok!

Yes sorry. I am fine (was going pretty slowly also yay seatbelt) but my car is all ruined. Meh.

Oh that sucks. Glad you're okay, though.

Oh yikes. I'm glad you're okay. I'm sorry to hear about your car.

True. It is not the best policy when you are trying to get hired, unless you really are the the perfect employee which nobody is. But now that I am in the position of having people work for me it is frustrating as heck to be on the other side of things. Especially the medical limitations. If you have a heart conditions or chronic back pain do not apply for a job where you it clearly states you are expected to be able to lift a certain amount of weight. I mean yeah if you are in dire straits and need the job in the long run I'm not going to blame you for it, so long as I do not get injured because of your problem. Again I'm not venting at the people so much as HR which could have easily put them in a position with less demanding physical requirements.

Feel free to tell me to shut up and butt out. Just trying to be friendly. Talking and letting it out is a good thing. But the online world is only a temporary solution and not always the right one. Purely in my own experience it can be like relying on other sick patients to cure you instead of going to the doctor. Speaking only generally because I obviously don't know the specific issue, talking to the right person is what can help (sometimes). And finding the right person itself can take some doing. Maybe you've tried a professional already. Again, I don't know. If you haven't you may want to consider doing so. Anyway, good luck with the job.

It's funny how easy it is to slip back into depression so bad you can hardly move. I'm typing at about half my normal speed. It took me an hour to eat a bowl of soup. I got in bed around 6pm yesterday and didn't manage to drag myself out until my mom told me to come downstairs and eat something, which was said soup. I was doing so well lately too. I'm too tired to cry anymore. Or really do anything besides sit here and stare. I have to go to the doctor today in an hour. I don't know what's going to happen.

My mom only made the appointment so I could tell them to give me medication, but I don't want medication. I hate medication. I hate the idea of forcibly adjusting your brain so the only reason you can't have your normal reaction is because it's become physically impossible to do so. It's like sweeping the dust under the rug. It's still there, you just can't see it, and eventually the rug isn't enough to cover it up, so you have to get more and more things to put it under, and the mess gets so big that there is no way to deal with it anymore, and even though my analogies get kind of weird sometimes that is sort of accurately how I feel about it. Hell I don't even take medicine for headaches.

I just wish I could feel something so I could know what I wanted to do. But I haven't felt happy, or sad, or angry, or anything besides numb since I finally crawled into bed last night. I have not felt this way for a very long time. I don't particularly like it. I thought I was past this.

I don't know what your medical history is, of course, but have you tried talking with a therapist of some kind? Maybe it would help, or at least help enough so that you wouldn't need too much medication?

Do try what Noola suggested if you don't like drugs. I'm not sure what's your view on therapy, but since you seem to be really detesting drugs, perhaps an alternative would be better?

That's the same reason I don't take meds for ADHD any more. But then, I'm mostly fine without them, and if people think I'm weird, too bad for them. In your case, I think I might fold. It's one thing to have drugs forced on you, but another, I think, to sit down and finally decide that yourself. Reminds me of Mike's situation, in a way. http://www.penny-arcade.com/2008/02/08/

Having read that, I'd say seeking out other professional help would be better - someone that you can talk to and do talk to truthfully, the same way you talk to us at times.

Happy Singles Awareness Day. Just another day, but with all the roses and mushy gushy ridiculous crap going on I can't help but feel lonely, and spiteful, and hate everyone around me for being so lovey dovey. WHY must you be this way?! I hate you all. That's what you get for being so freaking ridiculous.

Just note that drugs are not the only way to treat depression (they are an effective way, but not the only), so you don't -have- to take drugs to get better.

By the way, the example given by Mike of taking pills for allergies isn't quite as compelling as it seems. While allergies are purely physical (something is wrong with your body), pyschological disorders may or may not be. It could be due to brain chemistry, or it could be due to a psychological factor.

However, if drugs do help you, then ultimately, it is your decision to make.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Day!! You don't have to be in a relationship to enjoy them! In fact, it's better not to be, cause then you get to eat them all yourself!

Haha, I just had a 'bachelor's dinner' to 'celebrate' SAD!

I must find these.



Haha.

Yes, well, now I had to come back and amend my above statement. I don't hate you all. I just... cannot stand public over expression of affection, and people think that because it's Valentine's Day it is completely appropriate.

I went through a similar phase last year where I slipped back into feeling close to how I felt at the height of my depressions in my early 20's. The thing to remember is, if you haven't felt like that in a long time, then there was that period where you felt better than you do now. If you managed it once, you can do it again.

If you are really against medication (and I completely understand that, being of the same mindset) then I would strongly suggest going down the route of getting someone to talk to about your problems. At the very least it can help to share your problems and get a different perspective on them. They may also be able help you come up with some kind of strategy to dig your way out of depression. What I do is find other things to occupy my mind, my experience is that when I'm in a depression the more I think about it the more I spiral downwards, keeping busy is key for me.

I hope you feel better soon.

Step one: Buy nerf guns.
Step two: Hide in bushes.
Step three: Wait for PDA.
Step four: FIRE!

(Apparently people I know did this last year. )
