Chronic Depression
I've been dealing with depression all my life. But I've always thought that one day I would "grow out of it". But nope, I'm 29 and not only do I still have depression but it's gotten worse along my ADD and than you throw my Asperger's Syndrome on top of that along with still living at home and you've got one fine mess. I've had rough patches but things have gotten to a point where I feel truly hopeless. When I look to the future all I see is me sleeping on the streets or if I'm lucky maybe working a minimum wage job for beer money and sleeping in my truck. I'm not an alcoholic, I don't even drink that much. But lately the escape it provides is looking tempting. Sometimes I can induce a temporary state where I'm "high" from moral outrage and use that to avoid my problems. But it doesn't work like it used to. I'm going to see a psychiatrist on Dec 4 though I'm not sure how much it'll help. It's even getting to a point where I've contemplated suicide. I honestly can't remember a point in my life where I didn't have a low self-image. Is there hope? I don't honestly know?

4. Holly shit are you sure we aren't brothers?...
I'm 31 been depressed and anxious my whole life and also living at home with my parents. Quit university 5 or 6 times to the point where it's a mess and I wonder what's the point. Worked retail jobs off and on over the years. Like you I feel semi suicidal at times, especially these past few months since I last quit school again. I also know what it's like to want to turn to the bottle, it numbs you so you don't have to think about your failures and don't have to face the darkness, but it makes the depression worse!! If you can stay away from the alcohol please do. I've seen 3 psychiatrists and been on several different meds over the years. Make sure you go see the psych, it may not help a lot or it could make all the difference in the world. You don't have much to lose by going! We are here to support you! PLEASE PM me if you ever feel the need to talk, I can VERY much relate with what you posted. I too feel like a huge failure and "what's the point to it all anymore".
Oh, mama. If the NSA tapped the Skype feed between these two, they'd NEVER shut it down. They'd sell recordings on UHF TV.
"Say, this crazy liberal record is OUTTA SITE! Lemme borrow it."
"Noooooo, my brother. You have to get your OWN."

I am already on record as saying: "If I was 22, much less 31, and living with Mommy and Daddy I would kill myself."
Please, l0****us, do it quietly. Drugs or N/S razor blades. Jumpers waste a LOT of resources that could be used to feed the poor.
And if this comes to pass, I will feel zero guilt. I grew up on my own and in my late teens found my feet.
31 year old babies are leeches on their mommies and daddies and the body politik.

LocoNuts could borrow Dennis the Menace's gun.
Dennis doesn't have enough guts to use it.

Another DUmbass nutcase that still believes they should run the country...just pitiful.

And these are the people who think they know what's best for the rest of us.
Dummies, if you take the time from your busy schedules and do the math and calculate the cost per ounce of alcohol in a mid shelf beer such as (American owned non-union made) Yuengling Lager compared with American owned union shop Buffalo Trace Straight Kentucky Sour Mash Bourbon Whiskey, you will discover that the cost per alcohol/ounce is close enough to make bourbon a competitive cost value. Less filing also.

The cool thing is they know they are disgusting parasites and they are trapped there. They say when someone talks about suicide a lot you should be very concerned. One can only hope.
