The rendezvous with my sister and her kids went much better than expected. She didn't ask my mom for anything and seems to be more grown up and happy than I've ever seen her. It was nice. And the kids... oh my. The oldest boy is taller than me and the girl is almost as tall.
How are you feeling?

I'm starting to wonder if I'm beyond help at this point. I don't know, maybe it's just the unresolved issues beyond my SA & depression, which I'll find hard to deal with.

I wish I knew what it was so I could help you, Graeme.
Try and do things to cheer yourself up, okay? I don't like to hear of people being unhappy.

Nah, just honest!Hehehehehehehehehehe!
Your to silly, Mikey.::
Nobody's beyond help, mate. Find the avenues that you want to take care of and make sure they happen. You have to want to change, too, to make it happen. I guess that's step 0.

I'm just frustrated by my family's constant denial of my problems, telling me I'm "just shy" all the time. I suppose I should try and cheer myself up and take my mind off it for awhile. I guess I should start get my creative ideas on paper and start drawing. Either that, or I could spend sometime watching my stand-up comedy DVDs.
Yeah, the first step is always the hardest. But I geniunely do want to change.

I know those thoughts, I also wonder just the same, I find living extremely difficult.
I understand that your family won´t acknowledge that you have some issues to be dealt with, and that therapy could be a good idea. Why pay attention to their opinion. I have started to keep certain things from my mother especially, because whenever I complain about things that happened in my childhood or youth, whenever I poor my heart out to her, she always always says something that insults me/hurts me, and I know by now that she can definitely not help me or say anything to make me feel better.
Maybe you know Bill Hicks. Well, his wise/comic/serious shows have sometimes helped me to think in a new way about being me and having a lot of depression, sadness, difficulties with people. He seemed to be a probably sometimes depressed person too, with a lot of things annoying him, but at the same time he was able to see (and encouraged people to see) life as a short journey to be enjoyed.
Do you like to read?? I can recommend many books that actually have helped me. (Even though I´m still kind of miserable, but I have found relief in certain books)

I don't know, I guess I don't like keeping things from my family.
Yeah, I'm a fan of Bill Hicks as well. As he said it's just a ride, and choice between fear and love.
Haven't been reading much lately, but, I do like to. Anyway, what book recommendations do you have for me?

I'm sure you're not beyond help. Like your signature says 'you're not messed up as you think you are' I hope you can work out your problems soon, take small steps, look for help when you need and try to do your best. Good luck

Just had a wee discussion with my mum and she has suggested, as an aside to getting therapy, that I try Transcendental Meditation. Now, not that I'm against it, I'm just wonder if it'll be beneficial to overcoming my SA and depression.
Anyone ever feel like if nature had its way with us humans, you know, survival of the fittist an'that, I wouldn't be here and that would be better, like its not natural for someone as "unfitted" -dont know if thats a word,, for human society to still be living. Sometimes i almost feel deprived of my natural right to well, die- basicly, all because i was born human and we have to be all brave and take risponsibility. It would be so much easier if i was an unfitted deer then i'would just be eatn by a lion.
