Ive been to psychs before

Theyre a waste of my time and money
They're not. You've either been to bad ones or haven't bought into what they're saying and asking you.

Well i can tell you that i did give an honesy effort buying into that stuff

I just felt like my problems were being exasberated by putting them on spotlight. For example, i would say something that made perfect sense to me amd meant one thing, and the psych would misconstrue (through no fault of her own) that i meant something else entirely

Its just not worth the money or the time

Or maybe not. Maybe they were telling you the truth.

One thing however, is that with docs, you need to voice your point very clearly.

I just got back about five minutes ago. Dunno what's going on here. But that last comment warrents a comment.

All the doctors in the world can do nothing for you if you don't do things for yourself or are willing to make the effort or commitment to change.

A psyche can get to the root of things. But they don't have the magic fix you button. You do.
Dude how'd it go

Fucking waste of time. All tests inconclusive. My eyes are fine. But they don't know what's causing it. I'm looking into booking a neurologist now. But that's gonna be a problem because those type of docs are rare as shit in my province. There's like fucking two of them.

Damn I'm good with timing. My ride's here. Tootles folks.

Do me a favor here and hope I get diagnosed with something rather than nothing. If they don't find out what's up with me then I'm in trouble.

Ya'll have a nice day now. Even if it's a boring old monday.

It sure is sad that water is clean and filtered and sold at an extremely low price resulting in an industry and a shit ton of jobs.

It's really one of the worst things in the universe.

It'd be important to note that water wouldn't have to be cleaned or filtered if we didn't pollute it in the first place.

And, they're not selling you the water, actually. You're paying for the materials to house it.
Water isn't just naturally clean, dude. Not all of it.

No but it certainly didn't fucking help that we polluted all the clean water sources anyway.
No we didn't. What the hell.

Hmm, well, guess I'm speaking for myself then. I know the history of my province pretty well. All the rivers out here used to be clean. Clear water and drinkable from any one. Now they're all shit brown and loaded up with crap and pesticides.

But it's like that most everywhere else too. Most of our clean water sources have been polluted.

Oh so you got that feeling too?

How about this one? You're lonely as fuck. You want to talk to somebody. But you don't know what the fuck to say. There's nothing you feel like saying  and you don't know what to say.

But you want to talk anyway because you don't want to be alone.
Exactly

mainly I just want attention and conversation

You know what really blows? You don't care about being narcisstic. I do.

So I just end up sitting here, looking at people talking. And I don't know how to interact in any way that isn't hollow to me. I'd like a quality exchange with somebody. But at the same time I've got nothing left.

So, naturally, the only thing left for me to look at is how shitty I'm feeling.

And you guessed it, feeding into that whole shithole both spirals downwards and feeds itself and gets every person on the forum to say "stop whining" in their best ahnold impression.

It's great isn't it?

You could always talk to yourself!

But after long enough, someone will start answering and you'll need medication to shut them up, and then you'll be lonely again.

But at least you wont be overcome with the urge to kill anyone anymore!

Well I dunno about you but my lonliness doesn't drive me to kill people.

Unlike most people these days who for some reason, find that a gun and school full of kids is a way to solve their problems, I have half of a functiong brain left.
You're clearly not listening closely enough to the voices.

Oh trust me I am.

I'm just not following its advice because it's fucking terrible. I can listen closely but nobody says I have to do anything based off what I hear.

I do wonder sometimes why some of the folks never bothered to come here or stay here if they did. I can understand that obviously not everybody gets along. And after a while somebody could tend to feel outnumbered. But then again, if their pals came along too then they could always just pm each other.

It might be helpful if groups are made. Or, actually, it would have been helpful if groups were a thing from the start. I do miss the folks who didn't come here or stay here.

Save your condescension and sob story. I don't care. I've suffered a lot and I'm not here crying or trying to kill myself.

If you're mentally fucked up, whatever. But don't tell me I don't know what it's like. I'm not here saying "lol it's easy just man up lmao". I'm saying man up, because giving into it doesn't make anything better.
And this is why I don't talk about anything too personal on this site.

Well seeing as I don't particularily care about myself or by extension, what others say or think of me, then it's no problem. You notice I rarely ever tend to talk about my family, however? You've got a point. There's always a line at how personal it gets somewhere.

Update #3. As much as I would like to just farm the same boss a few times and get my soul memory up to 1 million and bypass the Shrine of Winter, it just isn't feasible. I'm over 800k souls short and From designed the game in such a way that there's hardly any ascetics in this part of the game. Just have to continue normally, I suppose.

After killing the Sentinels and leveling up some more, I went back to Majula and headed for Huntsman's Corpse. Fighting the Forlorn NPC invader was one of the hardest parts yet, as NPC's don't exact follow normal combat rules (cancelling during any attack, jumping attacks that are capable of doing full 180s in mid air, poising through everything whenever they feel like it). But we won and continued onwards. I set Creighton free and cleared out the area (including the dark skeleton cave) so I could summon him for the Skeleton Kings boss fight. Easy fight, but Creighton decided to go wreck the main bosses rather than focus on the little skeletons so that I had to fight a number at once. All good though. We looted the shit out of everything in Harvest Valley, killed the lizards and took down Covetous. A very near  death experience followed when I ran up the stairs and one of the assassin's dropped down behind me with another in front. Two hits and I nearly bled out. Managed to run back, heal and take them out. I also upgraded my bow now and bought a bunch of arrows to play more of a distance game. Next off we ran by pretty much everything and fought Mytha. Easy fight as always, even though she stuck around the poison which heals her throughout the entire fight.

Current situation: just made it to the first bonfire in the Iron Keep. Mace +8, Estoc +6 and shortbow +5. Soul level 55 with 20 Vigor, 20 str, 15 dex and 15 adp. Currently trying to decide whether I should go through the Keep or go back and take on Rotten, as he should be considerably easier. I also went into offline mode to have a look at the death counter in Majula and praise the lord, because it still says 0 deaths.

So, do I go to the Keep or backtrack for Rotten?

Oh fuck if you're on SoTFS then head for the rotten. iron Keep is just a shithole in first sin.

The easiest way I found to farm souls for the Shrine of Winter door is to just get up to the Old Iron King and then farm him with ascetics. He's easy as fuck and there's only one enemy between you and him if you get the closest bonfire.

I got him to NG+ 21 because I wanted to breeze through from NG to NG++ to buy the spells from Wellager and 100% the game

Iron King is the easiest route to take. But he's punishing if you slip up even once. That fucking hole in the arena I swear.
What about Rotten? I always thought he was the easiest boss out of the main 4.

Rotten grows to one shot-you levels really fucking quick. New Game 3 and he can oneshot you easy. And while technically the iron king's shotput-you-into lava is an instant KO, I'd take the iron king because he's fucking easy.

The rotten can occassionally pull out magic tricks you've never seen before and fuck you up big time.

If we're talking opposites here, well, physically I'd be healthy and in tip top shape with no various ailments or half functioning body parts. Little bad shit in my past and I wouldn't be depressed. I'd be the walking embodiment of happy and healthy.

Holy shit the amount of sweaty people who slapped their tryhard tighties on for this game has gotten a little silly as of late.

They captured the west- commander lochagos has been killed-we captured the ea-they've taken the fortress.

If your match sounds like this about two minutes in, that's when you know it's time to break out the scout warthogs.

I like all the tryhard crouchers mid-gunfight too. As if crouching will magically save them from bullet magnetism.
Actually in many cases crouch play will save you from death in many gun battles. It can also just freak an opponent that does not know about it out. If 343 made it so you could get a larger amount from arena tryhards would not be a huge problem in Warzone. And with that many clans are just trying to grind out for the new armor. I personally never go into warzone alone because I will always be in a new match when I start and it becomes way less stressful. Halo 5 is a very pro-based game so it is understandable that a more competetive audience is drawn to it. Same as the way casuals are drawn to COD.

First rule I learned about Halo 5 is that putting any kind of dodge mechanics in is completely fucking pointless when bullet magnetism exists to such an immense degree in this game. No point. You waste time dodging or by performing an action when you could instead be shooting.

Like thrusters for instance. I'm so glad that they either save my dead body by pushing it into cover or, when they actually do save me, the bullets clip through cover anyway.

But hey. I don't go into warzone alone. Usually with a couple folks. The game is unplayable alone. We usually end up topping the scoreboards for our team. And we're not even trying. It's pretty fucking sad that I can drive around in a scout warthog and get 20 splatter kills against a team of tryhards who've pushed us back to the core and are now spawn killing my team when they step out of the base.

Like, I'm fucking goofing around and still carrying my team. I love how there's no middle ground. It's either sweaty tryhards or thumbless rocks.

And, no, crouch play does nothing. But it is funny to see some sweaty kid trying so immensely hard that he has to crouch spam a passenger in a scout warthog shooting at him.

Although I wouldn't say this game is competetive to much degree anyway. People only think it's hard because 90% of people grenade spam and use the smg.

Queshtin

What if someones depression came from how life essentially boils down to doing the same thing till you die?

There's a really simple answer for that. No matter what you do, you're generally always going to fall into a pattern of doing things. A routine of sorts. That's just how people work. But if your depression comes from looking at your life, seeing the routines you're going to be doing for most of it, and then getting depressed about it, then you know what that means?

You're not doing enough things that make you happy. Your life is devoid of things to spur you on and catch your focus and interest. That's the trick with being happy. You always have to move. For example. Let's say you like watching movies quite a bit.

If you sat down for a week and did nothing else but watch movies, no doubt, your appreciation for them would decline.  Because they became too routine. Happiness isn't a constant thing. Or more importantly, you can't linger too long on a certain aspect. It's about shifting your focus with everything you do. Like shifting gears for different speeds.

When you're focused, and something has your attention, you're not unhappy. Because your mind is invested in actively thinking about what's there in front of you. Surrounding yourself with little bits and pieces of these moments all over the place, all the time, is how you make your life something interesting.

kind of sucks you aren't gunna play online tho
there are some really cool little things about it

like soap jokes or getting free estus when others are fighting in the same area as you

and some other things I can't reveal yet
I've contemplated jumping online towards the end of the playthrough, just so I can have something to say about it in the review, but I'll worry about that when it comes.

That would legitimately be a mistake. If you don't like online at the start of the game, you'll like it even less at the end of the game.

Primarily because that's when you'll meet people with high tier equipment or pursuers and you'll just get fucking melted by them.
