Is there a way to tell if I'm just having a set of off days or if I'm genuinely depressed?

When I was younger, maybe junior high, I got roped into watching my 3 month old niece while my sister got her hair done. So when there I am, sitting in the waiting area of a hair salon with my niece and who walks in but Bruce Willis. I was nervous as fuck, and just kept looking at him, as he read a magazine and waited, but didn't know what to say. Pretty soon though my niece started crying, and I'm trying to quiet her down because I didn't want her to bother Bruce, but she wouldn't stop. Pretty soon he gets up and walks over. He started running his hands through her hair and asking what was wrong. I replied that she was probably hungry or something. So, Bruce put down his magazine, picked up my niece and lifted his shirt. He breast fed her right there in the middle of a hair salon. Chill guy, really nice about it.

You're not alone. It's just a set of off days. All you need is pic related. That isn't to say that everyone has days like this. Not everyone does. Some of us just have it better than others, and will go on with their lives without worrying about a single thing, which upsets me greatly.

Did she get a nipple hair stuck on her tongue too?

Is it wrong of me to hold my anxieties and everything else back though? I don't want to burden others with my own problems so that they dont need to worry about me

I've been dealing with a lot honestly.
I'm in debt, and I've been working my ass off, 60 hour weeks the last month alone.
My gf moved out of state for school, haven't seen her since February. Likely won't until September.
I've been using work as a coping mechanism, because anything is better than being home in an empty apartment. My Xbox buddies either got switched to first shift or the two of them are farmers, and it's about to kick into farm season.
I'm just feeling alone. Everything sucks. My cat is the only thing I come home to but it's not helping.
My anxiety is getting worse. It's getting to a point where I can't have a conversation longer than 20-30 minutes without my body starting to shake and convulse.
I'm just feeling not okay, and I don't see a way out yet.

Dude fuck all that shit and move to Thailand. Or maybe become a woofer on a cool organic farm. Also work out a lot and avoid drugs and alcohol.
Juan Scott
Well, at least you have a girlfriend, so obviously you're not terrible at talking to women.
But if I were there I'd hit you up to try and work out. Personally I'd say it's something that keeps my mind clear enough to not feel saddened.
Just keep at it user, I'm rooting for you.

Don't have money or a desire to move to Thailand.
I actually did get a membership to Planet Fitness, but then I realized how in debt I was and I stopped going to work more. It's just feeling like I don't really do anything and that I'm alone. But I'm still $1950 in debt, and I have to move come July, but stay in my shitty state because of school, which I haven't been able to do because my apartment rent is too expensive. It's an entire Trainwreck.
Landon Baker
Yeah are you working out and dont have any vitamin deficiency?

I’m heart broken over a girl I blew it with, I’m gonna be laid off of work in two weeks, and my mom has cancer and is expected to die soon. Can someone honestly match how bad my life is right now?
Jordan Lewis
Well if you're in California, Crunch fitness is dirt cheap and a gym that gets the job done. If that's too much, just run for a mile or two around your place of work.
If you're apartment is that expensive you can consider getting roommates. It'll help with your anxieties and you might make some good irl friends along the way.
And don't try using work as a coping mechanism, you'll just find yourself slaving away as a form of self-entertainment, which obviously isn't good.
Christopher Collins
That's partially why I'm sad and pissed. I'm trying to become a Navy rescue swimmer so that I can at least dedicate this pitiful life of mine in service of others. But I have failed the swim portion of the test three times now as of today and I thought I was improving.
Chase Garcia
Heartbreak is tough. I can't figure out how this girl feels about me and I'm prepared for the worst that she just friendzones me.
I have no job and I have had no luck getting there.
My parents finally confessed that they're fighting despite hiding it since I was almost 4.
You're not the first person to experience this sadness, you're definitely not gonna be the last, and you'll never experience the worst.
How'd you mess up with your girl? What caused you to be laid off from work? Are you trying your best to spend time with your mother when you can?

I'm in KinFucky.
And it's not so much the price as it is the time. I have to put away around $1,500 to get moved (deposits, first months rent, etc, and I'm probably over estimating). My last day off was the 9th, to put it in perspective.
Before I made the chunks that I did, I was $3,000 in debt, totalling roughly $4,500 to be made from March to July, while paying rent and my normal bills.
PF isn't expensive at all, but I have been needing to rake in overtime like crazy.
I don't like roommates, because I've had a few bad experiences and firmly believe "Can't afford it alone, can't afford it with roommates" so I'm finding a cheaper place.
Just need to get money together and in order, which is a part of where using work as a coping mechanism came in. I justify it with "I don't have much reason to be home anyway". Which, in contrast, I could've become an alcoholic. I feel like I made a less destructive choice overall.
Jackson Price
Well then just keep on the grind, sounds like you know what you're doing and you're progressing, time is money anyways.
You're not wrong either though, being a workaholic > an alcoholic, but have you ever tried to hang out with coworkers? I know it's weird, but even at my past part time jobs it was fine.
What kind of roommate experiences did you have? Because you not being as social might be a factor since you can't read people that well too.
Sebastian Clark
Your maw has it worse.
You sound like a whiney bitch who wants people to be sorry for you.
Its shit you're single (if you dont want to be!) but, as you said YOU BLEW IT!
Sign up to POF or Tinder and move on you drippy cunt.
Your job is a moveable feast, go work somewhere else, if the job exists there it probably does at twenty other places in same town or next one over...
Take fucking charge of your life.
Granted your maw situation isnt gonna get better but at least you know its coming... Make the remaining time count.
Lots of people leave things and they remain unsaid when a death occurs suddenly: you have the opportunity to make sure that doesn't happen.

Work at starbucks, your customers will appe iate your pathetic service and youll save yourself all the hassle if doing the swim thing.
Wyatt Turner
My co-workers and I don't have much in common. One is black and loves to play basketball in some not so great areas in town. Other one is a former drug dealer trying to get away from it but still getting wrapped up in it, so it's kind of a "Stay away"
There was a very inequal distribution of how we did things as roommates, and it just spiraled. He power tripped, and even though there were rules and shit in place, it just became a bit too hostile of an environment to live in. Then I had to help my brother move his shit after his roommate decided he wasn't going to pay his part of the rent/bills because he has it all figured out, and yeah. With the exception of my girlfriend, if I can't afford it alone, I can't afford it. And if I can, I should just live alone because people suck.
Though you are right about me not being able to read people all that well. Took a month of my gf and I talking for us to realize there was something there. Thought she was a lesbian for the longest time. (She is, she says I'm the only guy she's ever been attracted to, but yeah, another point)
James Long
But something is pushing me to do more. I definitely wouldn't be content being a starbucks faggot for the rest of my life.
Hunter Robinson
Well you could always try to hang out with that "former" drug dealer. One of my friends was a drug addict that went sober just before I became friends with him, then after we stopped hanging out, ended up finding out he went back to his drug addiction. It's all about the company you keep, just always aim to be a good influence.
The way you can fix that inequal distribution is being a hardass. No one willingly pushes around someone they know will argue/fight back if given the chance, but again, that works in tandem with you working out and making the effort of being social. Just think that comfort is the enemy of success.
Jayden Thomas
Luis Richardson
Oh no, you're right. And I did push back, but I also just stopped caring. They took advantage of the fact that I was ridiculously depressed at the time, and yeah. It was bad. But even so, if you can't afford it alone, and you have a roommate that decides to stop working, or the get fired or something, you're fucked either way.
At least this way the only one I have now sorry about not working is myself. Though I do remember that an older buddy of mine invited me airsofting on the 7th. So I'll likely feel a bit better doing that.
Hudson Carter
That's just part of it user. Plus you never know. Maybe it's naive of me to say this, but sometimes good people really do feel like they'll owe you when you put out just for them. Even in tiny tokens of appreciation. You just gotta gamble I guess.
Good on ya, just go airsofting and meet some new people and who knows, you'll find that social something to do to take your mind off things.
Keep it up user!
