Bug hugs to all of you with GRRRRs in your life right now, whether they be big or small ones.
GRRRRRR to being right back in pain after not even an hour of having an injection that I've had my hopes up all week would make a difference. I want to cry right now.

Ouch, that sucks. Is this something that maybe takes a little more time to "kick in"? Or were you supposed to have immediate relief? Hope you feel better soon. Back pain is terrible.

Was it a nerve block? My understanding on nerve blocks (which is somewhat limited, but I do have to research these things for work) is that it's really only to treatment inflammation. So if inflammation is not the cause of your pain, I don't know how well it would work.

It was, and it has helped one problem, but not the main one.

I'm so sorry Steph. That has to be immensely frustrating. Big hugs to you.
What has triggered my feelings of the last few days? Self pity? Upset by my physical/health issues? Is it because I still haven't processed my best friend's death? Or is it an evil chemical imbalance in my brain? I feel I'm in a pit of murky, heavy darkness and I'm clawing desperately for the clean, light air and a breath of sweetness, only to be pulled down even further....teary eyed and on the verge of uncontrollable sobbing
when my best friend/partner in crime of 16 years passed away I was the same way. it brought up everything I didn't like about my life, all the things I thought I would have/should have done by now, etc. it will start to suck a little less with time. hugs and vibes to you friend
A friend of mine from back home passed away last night. This is probably the hardest thing I've yet faced regarding being in a different country. Knowing I wont be able to attend the funeral, or that I won't be there with my friends to mourn and share memories. It's tough.
so sorry you won't be able to be there. I'm sure your friend knows, and maybe you can go somewhere beautiful on the day of the funeral to have your own time for him/her

boooo. was this your first one? we usually tell people it could take up to 2 weeks to get any relief and sometimes a series of 3 injections. not to discourage you but rather to tell you to not give up hope just yet.
EDIT: I just saw it was a nerve block, grrrrrrr indeed

I know my depression is worsening when I start skipping out on totally normal nice spring events (like a crew picnic) - by giving myself a million excuses to not go anywhere. The less time I spend with people the more I just stay in my room so I don't bother anyone

Unfortunately LD @zenfnp a large part of it is my lack of $$ and a mixture of my health problems that has contributed to me never owning a car. I would travel a lot more if I didn't have epilepsy screw with my ability to get a car and license when I was younger. Thus not having a car now, severely limits my travel and experiences. I also just don't have friends here that are willing to road trip with me - let alone many friends in nyc at all.

Where there is a will there is a way. It's not glamorous by any stretch of the word, but it is tolerable.
I love traveling alone. It frees me up to what I want, when I want.

huuuuuuugs to you and boo on those shitty new Yorkers you have to put up with
The pro boards mobile app is being a bastard lately. Half the time it says it can't connect and then when it can connect it won't update half the threads I read most often.

My best friend has dealt with depression for most of her life, and I think the latter part is pretty normal from what I've seen with her. She told me that when I talked her into going to Bonnaroo in 2009, it was a major turning point in her life, and she has actually stopped taking meds at this point. She would not leave her house for months, and when she first started working with me, she only managed to be at work once every few weeks. She could not hold a job before she worked with me. She still has to talk herself into leaving the house, but she knows that when she does go out (usually to concerts with me or her hubby), she always has a wonderful time, and it's worth making the effort. Do you have someone that can help remind you of those good times, when you do get out? Spending time with others is probably necessary for you, even if it is for small periods of time.
I'm not even trying to pretend I understand what you are going through, because I've never suffered with depression, but you know there are so many of us here for you. Don't ever feel like you can't reach out if you need to. You are very much loved my many

I officially change my major, and none of the classes I took correspond with my new requirements. So basically this year of college was for nothing. Awesome.

It'll be worth it if you changed your major for a good reason.
Also, being a student is scientifically 20x more awesome than not being a student. Enjoy it while you can

Yeah, I think I'm going to be a lot happier with my new choice. Being in college is the best, except this week. Fuck finals

I have like 6 years of college credits that I can't use. Be glad you switched before you got too far.
@bandeto the train and the bus both take you right to Hartford in 2-3 hours Or New Haven- cheaper for you and not that bad of a drive for me. Get away!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I've wanted to respond to you all day, but I was stuck out on the streets working.. You hit a lot of really good points for me. 1. I wouldn't call myself clinically depressed, but more off, chemically and emotionally more easy to sway than I should be. A lot of it has to do with the anger I developed in my teens over my medications (which made me forgetful and uninterested in life. I stopped playing the piano, I stopped reading, and I stopped being able to be as academically clear during school) and my families own issues. So it's tough for me, because part of me knows that if I'm distracted by the people I love or something I find intriguing - the rest can melt away. It makes me feel guilty for my own lack of perseverance with my mental health because there are people far more bent out of shape then me - starting a more depressing cycle of self-hatred. I'm breathing; I should be happy....
2. I am totally clear about the love of people here, in fact Inforoo might be one of the few reasons I'm still around. Often I feel guilty that it's just a crutch to fill the hole of me not having anyone close in my life here. I have taken breaks from here because it intertwined so deeply into my self-worth and I understand how dangerous that is; but it's because Inforoo made me feel worthy of living at all
3. And you hit a serious nail on the head -- I don't have anyone in NYC/Brooklyn to remind me of those good times. It started all the way back in 2009, a tad previous to me signing on to the board, but I used to have peoples out in NJ and I had to decide to push away. I was very low on their priority list (which has been proven since none of them have reached out to me since 2010ish), and without talking forever and ever, clearly it was fun and dandy for them to eat my corn and hang out my girl's house... but that's about it. So after 3 Bonnaroo's with the ex, and I serious all around life break up for me, I had to resolve myself to go to concerts alone. And it's been tough doing that since Oct 2009 but it's pretty much been that way since. It's a strength, just as much as it's uncomfortable and wearing on the soul.
I don't know if you wanted all that but...
bonzai - I will come up when I can - but the hardest truth for me as a freelancer has been "if you don't have enough work for two months rent, you have to keep your weekends open". And it's been a very very cold winter for me $-wise so even day trips are tough for me. I did sign onto a 15 day project in May; so maybe I can see you sometime this summer.

I think it's bullshit hotels won't rent to me because I'm not 21. I'm 20 years old, with a credit card, and I can't rent a room for one night in Baltimore? I wouldn't mind going to a hostel but I'd rather have some privacy at a hotel this time around since my girlfriend is coming along. Sometimes America doesn't make sense.

I wonder why that is? That's the first I've ever heard of it. I rented rooms <18 (way back in the day, obviously). How do they know how old you are?

They ask for ID "on request"
Last year in between Roo and Firefly I convinced the manager to let me stay in a room but they treated me like a felon.
My girlfriends car was stolen last night. We have a three car parking area behind our house. It simply was there last night around 12:00 midnight and was gone in the morning when she went to take the dog on a walk this morning at 7:30am. Such a strange feeling, this has never happened to either of us. Not as bad or creepy as a home burglary, but still strange feeling. We walked out and stared at the parking space for a few minutes trying to process. :-) Plus she just paid it off a few weeks ago. Grrrrrrrr to idiot people.
