Things that frustrate us all

Fish and Chips of course has to be served with salt and vinegar, it's one of the rare times I add salt as a seasoning to a dish.

Want want want. I only ever did the vinegar thing in Boarding school. My friend Risa who was a Sixth former and myself who was a Seventh would sneak out for chips :D I was a monitor too and if I'd been caught :sigh: However the call of the fried potato must be answered!
 
I once ate "Cajun style" chips but it was so long ago that I don't remember how they tasted. Does anyone here know?

It strikes me as somewhat contradictory that management can tout the company's flex time policies, and go on and on about how they empower employees to achieve work-life balance by working to their own schedule... and then go ahead and book mandatory 8:00 am meetings.

They've actually gone and scheduled a 4am (Local for us) meeting, but some of the people involved are in at 11pm and some at 2pm.
I do feel for the people who have to attend though it's only mandatory for one department.

Hopeless feelings.

I guess maybe I'm not not really hopeless, but it's how I feel right now. :(

The fact that I honestly believe right now that it would be better if I didn't exist, at all, and never had.

Yes, I'm depressed. Yes, I'll get over it. Yes, I'm sure someone will use this against me or tell me to keep this stuff to myself or, "get over it."

My total lack of motivation and enjoyment in the things I like to do are also pissing me off.

This is a chronic issue for me, which is why I posted that I doubt I'll ever have a career. I can't follow through with anything. :( Hell, sometimes I can't even start anything.

Feeling like a real piece of...turd...right now. :(

[EDIT] I'm also feeling like a real freak right now and that I have no place in society. I can't be me without offending someone and I always, always need to be conscious of how my best intentions need to be perceived.

Just know there are people out there that do value you. I know I'm not the nicest person but reading your posts over the past few months has been humbling. You are pretty brave fighting the fight you do.

We all feel that way at one point or another. I tend to fight those feelings with all my strength so that they never last very long but I know that if I let them overwhelm me, I'd be pretty much at the same point you are then. We all deal with that in our own way. Just think that life is short and it will be even shorter if you waste it that way.
 
@Scribble
Sometimes I read your posts and think “you’re me, that’s how I feel”. You don’t need to get over it, anyone that holds anything against you is a wanker, and being depressed isn’t a crime/sin/shameful/whatever,

Give yourself permission to be you, do something that you love to do even if it feels like a waste of time or an unjustified indulgence, just do it for you. Don’t worry about hurting others, accept that they are them, and you are you (Thor said something Similar to Loki). The depression will pass in time and you will rediscover your up.

My counsellor drscribed depression as anger focused inwards, I think he’s right. Give yourself the space and time to step back and appreciate yourself for what you are and what you know you can do and be.

Take care.

I think many of us have had those feelings from time to time, so I doubt you are alone. Most of us likely have periods of times where we suffer from a lack of motivation be that at work or in some other place and where we simply fail to get enjoyment out of the things that normally bring us enjoyment.

As for how others perceive us an our actions, I can fully empathise with that, I wish I had some sage words of advice to give you but one should always try to be themselves constantly thinking about how others view us is likely unhealthy. People will either like you for who you are or not isn't it better to focus on the people who like you for who you are than trying to change too much to please someone else.

I hear you, man. I feel this way most of the time, too--since I was about 10, actually, and I'll be 50 in September. But someone actually married me (shocker!) and I have a cat I truly adore and I have one friend --just one, but one who likes me enough to fly me up to see her next month. It's not a lot but it's something. I'm barely employed, no kids, terrible health, ugly, fat....but there are still good things out there to latch onto--, a pet, a movie, a holiday, a favorite tv show, a game---something. Just go day by day, week by week.
 
^but you have a great sense of humour and a sparkling personality. What you look like is not important - everyone's looks - good or bad - fall prey to time, very soon. A handsome character is ageless (and always has the perfect weight ;) ) And I totally agree about going on in small steps, day by day. Enjoying the good things is propably the key to surviving the bad ones.

perhaps the root of the problem is that you expect too much of yourself and are subconsciousely aware that you set unreachable goals. I made rather good experiences with dividing huge goals up into small goals I can achieve. Like: titying up a whole aparment is something I don't have the energy for. But tidying up my tiny kitchen or my desk is something I can do and then I have a feeling of success that provides me with the energy to tidy up the next corner. It's similar with social contacts: start small and build.

over here, a big fish chain sells 'fish and chips' (taking the term veeery broadly). They frequently ask their customers "with ketchup or mayonnaise?" - Argh!!!! That's why I make my own F&C. With lots of vinegar! =)
