Good luck, Shion! I have the same thing. I've had a story going on in my head for years, but have yet to complete it. Maybe by the end of the year we'll both have complete stories.

Good job, shion! I'm impressed.

That's ur... more than what I've done in April

Don't worry about leaving him right now, just try to focus on having a good time!

Boston is fun! I recommend looking at all the silly people in Boston during PAX weekend.

Those are good lessons from a stupid game.

Things Doge2048 taught me about life:

- I'm not very good at Doge2048

I noted that it's possible that she's just using it as a form of personal therapy and added that she is welcome to disregard everything I say. Again, though, the logic that writing about depression will help you deal with it is lost on me.

I am aware of how depression makes one feel isolated. When I am depressed, though, I feel no desire whatsoever to read about someone else's depression or trials and tribulations in order to relate to what they is going through. If some people want to do that, that's fine, but that logic, too, is completely lost on me. I would rather read about how people overcame their depression and how they moved past it and what their results were. To each their own, I suppose.

I'm not trying to get into a debate about depression or cause a stir in shion's blog. I know there are plenty of folks here who suffer from this, myself included. I am simply commenting on the purpose and content of her blog and trying to offer some advice. It's just one person's words - she can take them or leave them.

Going to have to disagree with Shorty on two points:

1) sometimes all someone wants is to talk about what's bothering them, and that does help. It may not result in beating depression on it's own, but it is absolutely valuable to talk about what is bothering you.

2) I don't believe there's no one out there that would want to read about the depressing parts of suffering from depression. Considering many people who suffer from it feel extremely isolated by how they feel, there is absolutely value in knowing other people are going through the same thing.

I'm going to be straight with you. Reading a blog about depression is depressing as trout, especially when it's titled Everyday Depression and the first entries that smacks me in the face are "I'm so angry" and "Discouragement". I thought you started your blog to help you battle with it, but it seems like it's only perpetuating it and encircling yourself in negativity. If I came across a blog like that by happenstance, I would not spend more than ten seconds browsing it only to think that it was awful.

We are all different and deal with things different ways, but I can't imagine how writing about how unhappy you are will help guide you to more happiness. If you want some unsolicited advice, I would say to try to focus your blog on all the good and happy things in your life so you have a chronicle of those, instead of chronicling your sour moods and unhappy feelings.

If this is a means of personal therapy for you, that's great. And I don't want to tell you what to do with your own blogs or how to write or whatever. It just seems to me that a public blog is written so that others can read it, and diaries and journals are meant to expel your more deep, personal feelings. If you want people to read your blog, I think you are going about it the wrong way, because no one wants to read about someone else's unhappiness. No one. You could so easily turn it into a positive "This is how I am conquering my depression!" and it could be a great resource for both yourself and for others. If you want your blog to be just for your own personal accounts of what you're going through, by all means, continue. Obviously it's your own blog and you can do with it whatever the heck you want.

I hope you don't take what I am saying as too critical or personal. I am merely expressing thoughts from an outside perspective and it is by no means a personal criticism of you or what you are going through and is merely a comment on the content of your blog. I hope I don't make you feel bad, and feel free to disregard what I say.

You go girl!

Thank you Fynn! You're such a good person

I can only imagine how hard it must be on you. Just try to stay positive Your son is safe with your mother, you can focus on organizing your own life and pretty soon I'm sure everything will be just fine. Keep on going, I know you can do it. I believe in you, and I know a lot of other people here do to. Also, you have Sharky with you, and that is always a huge help

Today:
1. My Spanish Coach lessons on gender and the verb Ser, present tense.
2. Phrases section of Duolingo.
3. Word of the day is "el telefono celular" (accent over the second e on telefono)
4. Will be using flashcards tonight to review some basic words I had already learned.

Good job, shion!!

My Spanish Coach:
So I got 50/50 questions right in 2 minutes, 21 seconds, and they placed me at level 11. It says I have mastered 118 words, but I disagree. About 3/4 of the words I knew without looking at the answers, but some of them I did have to look at the answers and that's not good enough for me. So I will be reviewing those lessons until I can memorize them.

>text you
>never any response

I just told you the other day not to hesitate to talk to me whenever you feel the need

Never feel bad about messaging me to talk. It's what friends do and I don't mind at all. In fact, any little thing I've done to make you feel better after we've talked makes me happy.
