    So anyway, I've been spending the past several months making a goddamned wreck of the travesty that passes for my life. I no longer really feel like there's anything I enjoy, that actually feels "fun" or makes me "happy." Lately it feels like even the Prozac is just keeping life tolerable. But! When I have a bad, it always feels like everything has been awful forever and always will be. I swear, I can remember feeling happy. I just feel like I can't feel it again. I haven't gone to my swordfights in months because it got stressful and wasn't enjoyable, my weapons were breaking, and I was doing really damned poorly so that hurt my pride. I dunno. I'm a walking catastrophe and I'm at my wits' end.

      @scribus Do kendo if you can afford dojo membership mang. It's so much fun and the swords rarely break and the instructors will help you not suck (ideally)

            @clayinthecarpet @scribus all he needs is local friends to take care of him in case of emergencies. Get some close local friends if you haven't already.

              @pony I don't mean to sound negative, but...that's NOT what he needs at all. I have depression and I can still do what I need to do to survive by myself. Relying on people isn't going to help anybody, especially him.

                  @pony I used to wonder what money meant. Then I spent 3k living on art income alone, so I frantically searched for a better job until I found one. And if I don't get it, I have 4 backup options. 'Just saying.

                    @clayinthecarpet Yeah creative types need day jobs usually I think, unless they're highly motivated, organized, talented, and lucky.

                @scribus I never said I did. I'm giving you more leeway than @pony, at any rate.

          @scribus hmm.. Maybe try self training with Youtube videos. Then you'd just need a bamboo sword and some space.. but then it wouldn't be as fun. Also, um.. hang in there I guess. I'm still hanging by a thread financially myself.

      @scribus Sounds like you have a classic case of depression, man. 'Gotta find the will to move forward within yourself, really...It's hard but possible. Very possible.

      @scribus Also, watch The Last Unicorn and consider King Haggard's predicament
