So I've figured out that I'm going to die in a few hours from the flu or some shit
To das, I give you all the scrotum cuts you could ask for
For chally, I give a RaAyRyElPmEaPoE
For cheat, I leave all the pennies in my cup holder
For tru, I leave a very revealing MEIDO
For Verb, I leave my last bundle of cUNTs I got from the grocery
For Meta, you get nothing you inconsiderate Whore bag
For all of the Turkeys, you get my one of a kind copy of The Theologian's Guide to the structural integrity of Dank Memes: the Herbal Kind Edition
To Azu, I give you my condolences for having to suffer through the remaining years of waiting for Winds of Winter to be released
The rest of you are too unimportant to remember L O L

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.
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.

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?
I'm only using phrases like that because I'm in a sort of low place on the swing right now. It could be just projection, but I've always kind of lived under this assumption that everybody lies to themselves to keep themselves going; accepting the hard truths is a permanent stop. Laughing, making jokes, it's just another way to cope I guess; if I don't laugh, then I'm going to cry. And laughing is a lot easier to deal with, especially in a public setting. Motivation is a sort of finite resource when you're never rested. It's like raking the coals for an entire night because you know that you don't have any more logs to throw on the fire. You work with what little you have.

I would like to open with the following statement:
I haven't had a good night's rest in nearly four years.
Dysthymia; Chronic Depression. Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Like chronic aches and pains, It is hard to accurately describe the sensations without understating the problem or sounding over-dramatic. The most accurate way that I've found to describe it is like carrying a stack of boxes. Every little stressor, every major catastrophy; these are all "boxes" that (logically) should vary in sizes. But instead, every single one is equally large, like you ran out of little boxes and had to use a big one for every item instead. After awhile, you're going to stumble, or trip, or lose your balance in some way or another; and when this happens, you have to scramble to make sure nothing got damaged.
Even more stress. Every manageable problem, regardless of intensity, is a punch in the gut. The worst part is knowing that it shouldn't feel that way, knowing that it's illogical and that you're just being silly; because now, on top of feeling like everything has gone wrong, there's also the weight, the self-hate that comes with feeling that you're taking everything way out of proportion. You feel like shit. And since you know everything is "actually" fine, what do you tell everyone when they notice you're out of wack?
"I'm just tired." Just tired because you haven't slept well in years, because your chronic depression and anxieties are also the source of your insomnia. Stressing out over everything makes you take all of your problems out of proportion; taking all of your problems out of proportion leads to dropping self-esteem and makes you lethargic; low self-esteem, a lack of energy to do anything leads to sleeping without sleeping; not sleeping increases stress and irritability. It's a vicious cycle.
And yet, I never think that I should end it all. That'd just be silly, it's just a bad day. I'll sleep better tomorrow, soon my problems will be behind me. 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? Medication's fine and dandy, but not everyone has the time or money to flip through the catalog of prescriptions the doctor has to sell to meet his monthly quota. So really, what else can you do besides grit your teeth and take the pains in stride?

Hated dialogue delivery 90% of the time.
Dialogue options are too limited/same-y.
Every piece of metal shining with the intensity of a thousand suns gave me a headache every time I played.
MMO fetch quests got annoying very fast.
Story was mediocre.
Still better than DA2 though.

Shit launch, but now it's "okay". Faction shit is annoying, but at least doing those shitty "run around and mash to continue dialogue" quests nets a decent amount of xp.

What is this even supposed to mean?

The Wii U can be boring.
They probably thought you were because Its not that great...
It's my group console, because out of 8th gen, it's the only one with an abundance of local multiplayer games.

FEV is retarded (the scientist were experimenting with it; only problem is, all of them would have obviously been dead by the time they got results), but not lore-breaking.

friendly Brotherhood Fallout endings: "The death of the Master was the first major step towards ending his mad dream of conquest and enforced peace, but it is the destruction of the Vats that neutralizes the mutant threat. Without the ability to create more mutants and enforce their harsh brand of justice, the mutant armies flee to the east, beyond the no-man's land." "The Brotherhood of Steel helps the other human outposts drive the mutant armies away with minimal loss of life, on both sides of the conflict. The advanced technology of the Brotherhood is slowly reintroduced into New California, with little disruption or chaos. The Brotherhood wisely remains out of the power structure, and becomes a major research and development house." FO3's world assumes that the Vault Dweller killed the Master and Rhombus lived, meaning that the BoS essentially followed the mutants East and established another Citadel there to rally behind.

I feel like people are expecting way too much from No Man's Sky.
It's an artsy game that, without the hype, would be amazing. But with all this hype, people are going to be really let down.
I don't think people actually understand what it is. There's still tons of people who think they'll be able to find their friends. And I think it will have what I like to call the minecraft effect. Some people will spend thousands of hours in it. Others will say "there's nothing to do"
All I'm saying is that all this advertising from Sony is going to be the downfall of this game.

Drakengard, pretty much any ending. But Ending D has a special place in my heart.

That's one of the main reasons I was happy about Star Fox Zero. I love open world games, but linear games provide a different yet equally great experience.
Also, game media has completely ruined the term "cinematic experience" for me.

Wait, were Stannis' sellswords the Golden Company? I thought their whole thing was that they never broke contracts?
Except for the case of Young Griff, yes. But that was a very special case.
So Stannis didn't hire the Golden Company then?
I haven't watched the show since S3, but he didn't in the books. Everyone though he did since they were sailing for Westeros, though.
