Update for Everyone V: Born Under A Bad Sign

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

My publisher has some general delays, and thus my book, which was originally to be released at this time, will be published later, although it appears to be a matter of days, not months.

My demons had been coming back lately. And I planned on doing something stupid on sunday.

Tonight, I changed my mind. I have been hanging out w/ old friends the last few days. and while I don't feel the old connections I had w/ them, I feel like being around them saved my life. I am especially glad I still keep my connection with my fraternity brothers.  

I don't how people can be (seemingly) happy all the time, but being around those people makes me happy, or at least less sad.

I hope this new feeling doesn't end but I'm leaving the D.C. area soon, sadly.

Just something kinda funny: I think I've been on this site too much. My mother asked me if I remembered someone and I thought to myself "nice guy, FF."  It was a natural reaction...

Carolina, my oldest guinea pig, passed away this evening.  We don't know what happened to her exactly... but we think she went peacefully because it was her time.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'm very sorry, Scott. Especially as a fellow guinea pig lover.

[Mr. Smith]

I'm sorry Scott.

Today was the first day of the Florida Bar Exam. It kicked my (and everyone else's) ass. They tested one topic on the essays that had only come up twice in the last 18 years and one that had never been an essay topic. It was very unusual and very difficult. The upsides are tomorrow will necessarily be easier and my hotel has a complimentary bar at happy hour.

i'm sorry to hear scott

anvi, that's exciting about the new position!  Spreek je Nederlands?

Uhm, what. Spreek jij ook Nederlands?

okay so obviously neither I nor Google speak the language.

It was actually correct, which is exactly what prompted my question.

I started slipping into depression the last couple weeks and started having suicidal thoughts, that is when I realized I needed to get some help and am starting to see a therapist. Lately I have been feeling like I am a burden on everyone in my life and that sometimes it'd be better if I just disappeared. Home life has been bad lately and my work life was getting good, but now it's regressing to becoming much worse than before.

I can barely sustain myself the last month or two, I am no longer able to really afford the things I need since my hours got slashed cause LOL REASONS, I have become desperate and started to beg people I know for money which furthers my idea that I am becoming a burden. I literally have been breaking down and just losing my s*** and just start sobbing. Got recommendations for some anti-depression pills and I will NOT take them because I have heard horrible things about them.

Which anti-depressant? Abilify has worked wonders for me,

I was on that for a while. Look how I turned out.

The main thing with these kinds of medications is that you try them and pay close attention to how you respond, any changes in how you feel.  They work differently for everyone.

Well the bar exam is complete, so I have a few weeks to catch up on everything else that's happened in the last month. I doubt much has happened...right?

Congrats man!

I think I've connected with my true self yesterday/the day before(all-nighter to help sleep at the right time) in a new way. I feel different.

This post really doesn't make it seem like the big thing it is for me.

Still struggling with the mask I've been making all my life, but its gotten so much better.

So, just got offered another job today, after having previously accepted another job offer last week...

Now I need to choose which of the manufacturing jobs I want to go with...

One pays significantly better, is closer, but has longer and odd shifts and is harder factory work---- the other pays less, is a 20 minute commute, and is a bit more of an assembly job, with greater potential for internal promotion down the line.

Which job do I go with

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

How significant is the pay difference without being specific?

You might evaluate it based on future outcomes. For example, what would your likely position and salary look like in 2 years? 5 years? Is the lower paying job today likely to overtake the other one on the time scale of a couple of years? Is either job likely to leave you out of it in a few years due to company performance or your satisfaction level?
