Some chit is better left for private disscussion bud.... Not sure why you always feel the need to justify yourself to imaginary internet people..... has it ever worked in the past???

just say "get bent" and continue preaching the bennefits of previous generation Yamahas & 24v cummings...

i'm not ashamed of anything.

and its a 12 valve

I admit, school was too hard for me. thats why i'm going to do something i'm good at.
"real depression isn't being sad when everything in life goes wrong, real depression is being depressed when everything in your life goes right"

i'm not emo at all. I listen to metal (five finger death punch, metallica, the devil wears prada stuff like that) I will say that I have been through a lot, not to play the "poor me" card but to give you an idea on myself
growing up I was bullied until I started standing up for myself and knocking the bullies out.....lol
I got home from work one day and my best friend (my dog) had been sold out from under me by my parents
I got kicked out of a church one day for standing up for the girl I was with at the time
I got welcomed back, and when I walked in I was told by the leaders I was useless and never going to be anything in life....and kicked out again right there in front of everyone.
my girlfriend broke up with me a week later because "I was too facking depressed" and she didn't want to deal with it (I worked with her)
I tried to kill this pain by drinking until I passed out every damn night. which makes depression worse
my dad and I got into fights daily...hourly really. oh and over the past 3 years (until last year) I have attempted suicide 14 times.

sine then:
I live with my parents again, we get along great, dont talk to anyone from last year any more, dont drink any more. and until school I hadn't been depressed in just over a year, i'm damn proud of myself

Um..... the flying spaghetti monster would never have done this.

Throwing it out there... Joey, have you tried to cut out gluten? A girl friend of mine battled depression for years and decided to try going gluten free and has noticed a HUGE change in her mental health. Another close friend, who didn't suffer from depression, but anxiety, has since gone gluten free and has also noticed a huge upswing in her mental health... In case you're wondering how it's possible that food can affect your brain, they say that 90% of serotonin is produced in your intestines, if you have a problem digesting wheat the villi in your intestines are damaged and become shorter, which in turn hampers them from absorbing nutrients and producing the serotonin aka happy hormone.

Food for thought. Literally.

Also, have you been checked for iron deficiency? I have a problem with iron absorption, always have, after my second baby it was out of control - I jokingly called myself a mom-bie. But truly, I had no energy and just felt "dead" inside, much like you described. A trip to the doctor uncovered dangerously low iron levels. I've been taking a liquid supplement and have noticed a 180 in my self. One of the symptoms of iron deficiency is actually depression...

Take care of yourself, little buddy. Sounds like you've had a rough go lately.

LOL If your advice is "Don't do anything I wouldn't do" you were doomed from the word go.

"I appreciate the advice, but im gonna prove you wrong!!

sure that sounds like a great plan............for someone else.....i'm not passionate about those things, my heart isnt in those things, so I cant see myself being happy doing them. I dont like getting up and being like "great is it that time already?". I wanna get up and be like "Im gonna give it everything I got today and help as many people as I can today"

I actually wanna make a difference and have an impact on the world, or at least a city. not be just another brick in the wall. you wont stop me, sorry" Joey.

I have heard your diet can affect mental health actually, maybe I will try it haha its been a LOT better this year, last august you could say I did a "180" and cut a whole bunch of things from my life, "friends", alcohol, even certain music. but I definitely have a lot more hope in me now. sometimes you gotta do things for yourself (like leaving school) whenever I feel depression nagging at me I play the song "lift me up" by five finger death punch. really good song to crank during traffic jams lol I will definitely try to start eating better...

thanks for your advice and it was nice hearing from you again

I still wanna make a difference, but you kind of have to better yourself before you have the strength to help others...

I guess I was being nice. What sort of work are you going to be doing based out of Mayerthorpe? I know a lot of people in the pipeline industry and could possibly help you out if you need a shove in the right direction. I have friends working around Whitecourt and Edson right now.

 

[joey]

I'm still waiting on a call thats supposed to come today so I can ship out tomorrow, but I will be laboring and training to be an operator of heavy equipment, they have a bunch of different camps so it just depends on which one I go to, but probably building roads
