Lessee...

I'll never get to go to college. Not going to be moving out, uh... ever, since while I have a fairly well-paying job, my parents claim nearly all of what I earn, barring a small amount (and they're considering taking rent. I'm staying home at age 18, after all).

A handful of my major projects, which I've been working on for two~three years, fell apart for reasons I had no control over at all. Can't have the job I want, and likely never will, though that might be for the best (these things are suddenly less fun when I have to do it).

I live in Japan, which currently speaks for itself, though the situation here isn't too bad aside from the mild (or so we're told) radiation outside. And, as a couple people here already know, I have roughly 15 years to live, the last 5 of which will probably - not certain, thankfully - be spent crazy, unable to walk or both.

Somehow, I'm okay with this. Used to be quite a mess, but depression has recently become yet another thing I'm terrible at.

Pretty good: girlfriend, friends, and high school is comfortable.

Not fangoddamntastic, but it's pretty good.

I am a violent pervert that dropped out of school at age eleven due to years of severe bullying, spent several years locked in his room alternating between suicidal depression and pained detachment, I'm now 21, I am literally incapable of getting a job due to the bullying and abuse I received throughout childhood leaving me with a complete hatred and fear of people in general, I suffer moderate panic attacks if left alone in a crowd, I'm incapable of leaving the house unescorted, my mother has no idea of the depths of my depravity and if she ever found out I'd be thrown in to the street, I am now so bloody cynical that even the deaths of the family members that I actually care about barely affect me, I can't seem to shift my morbid obesity no matter how hard I try to die as I simply can't leave the house to exercise which is ironic since losing some of it may in fact be the confidence boost I need to actually start changing my life for the better.
Also my dog, the one being that has stood by me through all of this died of bronchial pneumonia less than a week ago, I stayed up next to him the enrire night before watching him get worse, feeling a slight pang of hope as he began to sleep only to be hit by cruel reality when he'd wake up hacking and coughing, leaving no doubt in my mind that sending him to the vet was a death sentance, and trying desperately to memorise the feeling of his fur as I handed him in to the taxi that would lead him to his death.

Other than that life's just peachy.
hmm, quite a situation you have there. perhaps you should get some weights or a treadmill or something if you need to exercise. its small, but its a place to start. and it sounds like things cant get a whole lot worse, so may as well try something to make it better.

Things are pretty good...I've accomplished all my goals and can afford food and shelter.

Could be better though...I could have the money to afford things like organic foods and live a healthier lifestyle.

I would love for things to go better. Things could tend to be better with me. Not much better, just better

It's okay. Looking forward to university, not a lot going on in my life though, but I'm content enough I suppose. Feel a bit shit sometimes about the frailty of my relationships (platonic not romantic), only occasionally though. Not much to seriously complain about.

My life is going pretty well now. A better answer would be that things could be better - minus the connotation you seemed to be implying.

I am trying to pursue a relationship with a girl at school, so being in that relationship would really make things great. Also, I really wish I could go on the school's Europe Trip over Spring Break - Berlin, Vienna, and Budapest?! - but I do get to visit family instead, so what's not to like?

I may ttry that if I can summon the wearwithal for another attempt sometime.

Here's the kicker by the way, I can't take anti depressants, they work well enough but if something upsets me... well here's my usuall response:
1. get angry, shout stomp around, maybe throw something if it's really bad.
2. rapidly slip in to depression, weep for an hour or so as the self loathing from losing it seeps in.
3. slip back in toi apathy and get on with life, what little of it there is to get on with.

After anti depressants I get stuck on one.
I've gotten better at handeling my anger, but the depressions a bit harder to shift.

Things could be a little better but overall not much to complain about, my life is fine and I am pretty laid back and easy going so I'm content.

Things are so-so. Its my second semester of my freshmen year in college and my mom scolds me over the phone for not going outside my dorm and making any friends. Haven't decided on a major here, but the best part is I'm not working and I could avoid the drama that happens back at home.

Things are pretty OK at the moment, it must be said. I'm getting on alright with my final-year work. I've got good friends, if not a vast number of them, locally at least, and I've not had a properly depressive episode in quite a while, which is working out nicely for me.

I just had a ureteroscopy today that ended with a torn ureter, and two female nurses who have no respect for catheters and male genitalia. One of them "accidentally" inflated the catheter while it was only halfway up my urethra, I nearly busted my vocals screaming.

I'm living with a stent for two weeks, and I'm in tears every time i take a piss. Please kill me now...
