if you don't like playing the game then why are you even playing it in the first place? isn't that the point? nobody said anything about playing the game, either "What games do you own that you don't want people seeing you playing?" the "playing" bit is hypothetical

i would say it's healthy to care on some level about what people think of you, actually

I'm not ashamed of anything I play.
I don't see why I have to care about others seeing me play stuff.
how people perceive others is important to some people

>being self-conscious about a game you like to play

1. who said we had to "like to play" the game in question 2. if you like games like this, then yes, you should be ashamed of yourself

And by "new things", I'm of course talking mostly about "active" or... maybe outdoorsy stuff. Take walks, chill out at a park, visit new places, meet new people... Join a club?... Maybe with friends, maybe alone--whatever's more comfortable.
Maybe even take a break from electronics for awhile--specifically the Internet.
Do you still work out?
And how is your diet? Are you eating well?
Those might seem like asinine questions, but I think they're important.

Well, that's the point of the thread. I know a few people here suffer similarly, most for better reasons than myself. In real life, I have no luck (or is it lucky?) in knowing others with Dysthymia.
And I've already been down the medication route; those results ranged from greater lethargy to major depression and more frequent panic attacks. Yeah, generally speaking, I don't condone medication at all. Drugs... psychiatry is just kind of a complete mess, and I always thought so. I guess it's great that it works for some people, but I mean, when your advertisements are 20% product, 80% listing off a bunch of crippling side-effects that may come as a result of using said product... There's a problem with your industry. I know you're rather short on free time these days, but have you ever considered, like... trying new things? Just to, like... either break the monotony, or break away from a more routine lifestyle?

I'm just at a loss for what you want to hear sometimes.
People aren't always looking for magic words that will heal them. Sometimes just chatting, venting the frustrations helps an inkling.
Fair enough. I guess my question still stands, then--if you know any others with dysthymia, have you observed how they cope with it, and is there anything that they do that you haven't tried or considered trying yet? I would imagine that medication is the most popular method, but as you mentioned, it can be expensive--not to mention, potentially dangerous.

What makes it so difficult to discuss is that whatever bit of advice I may have, whatever I'm able to scrounge up in some effort to help, it always seems to get parried by, "well, that doesn't work, because my disorder prevents that," and... It really makes it seem insurmountable. It's kinda like role-playing with somebody who godmods (crude comparison, I know). But it just gets to the point where... I'm just at a loss for what you want to hear sometimes.
Perhaps what it boils down to is that I'm simply not depressed like you are. I don't have dysthymia--I have something more akin to MDD or something. I never exactly thought they'd be terribly different, but I guess they are. It just frustrates me that I can't really help you at all.
Have you tried speaking to other dysthymic people? What do they have to say?

And, for the record, if I ever use the word "think" in these types of discussions, I almost always mean "feel". Depression is chiefly a feeling thing, not a thinking thing, and that's an important distinction to make. Because, of course, you can think that everything's fine, but not feel the same way. What you know in your brain is not always what you know in your "heart".
Still, the words are often used interchangeably in casual conversation, so I just thought I'd clarify that right away...
This is the hardest thing to discuss in the world, so, it's important to be crystal clear with what you mean...

Fooling yourself with delusions of a better time, and laughing it off is the easiest way to deal with the problem, but is it really the best way? I know you don't like when I do this, but I'm just going to try and compare this with my own experiences that I think are remotely similar. People are always telling me that, because of my pessimism, I'm setting myself up not for disappointment, but... I'm sort of inadvertently creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Things only end up sucking the worst when I convince myself that it's going to suck. And in some ways, I think that's true. My own poor attitude about a situation often results in the situation being substantially worse than if I hadn't told myself, "This is gonna suck. I know this is gonna suck." And I know it's more of an "attitude" problem for you, of course, but do you think that... when you type things like, "fooling yourself," "delusions," "laughing it off"... Do you think you might be setting yourself up for a negative experience? Because I'd like to tell you that those thoughts are not what I'd call delusional. That, above of all, is what bothers me the most. If you want to be "happier," you have to be... I don't want to say "open-minded", because that's not what I mean, but it's the closest thing. Because I know you're obviously open-minded, and you are willing, but... Clearly, there's something missing, and I can't really... put my finger on it. Maybe motivation. Like, do you feel like you're "getting enough" out of your life? Do you not foresee yourself "getting enough" in the future?
