If I remember correctly , your in the RAF arnt you? Poontang on demand?
Im in the RAF too and its not poon tang on demand believe me!

Want to elaborate a little on what exactly 'manning up' is? You of all people should know it's not that simple if you are genuinely depressed (although I have suspicion that this isn't the case with the OP - he's just suffering from unrequited love).
Actually....if the OP is SERIOUSLY feeling depressed he should request his joining date to be put back until hes sorted. The armed forces is a good career move if you stick it, but if your depressed before you are even under the pressures of adjusting to the forces way of life, training or even operational tours then your seriously need to get yourself sorted.
You need to be not only physically fit for training but mentally also!
With all due rspect, while i'm sorry that you are clinically depressewd, it doesn't mean that you have some monopoly on the word "depressed". It's a word commonly used by people to describe when they feel very sad, it doesn't have to be used in a clinical sense every time.
Oh I don't think he's seriously depressed, I wouldn't touch this thread if I thought that.
I think a little perspective is needed that's all, which I've certainly gained from joining up.
Oh and no, poontang is not on demand - most of the girls here are in to other girls

No, no, no. Wrong mindset completely!
Things can *always* get worse (and often do). Therefore things aren't so bad now. See, I bet he feels better already! :->

PS Seriously, most (but not all) depression is symptomatic of crowded, dysfunctional modern society. If we all lived in villages of about 35-50 people (like most of our ancestors throughout mankind's history and back up into the trees with the chimps) we'd know everyone very well and be far too busy surviving to spend much time feeling sorry for ourselves. Our relatives & peer group gave us a 'pack' to run with (whether we liked it or not), and a much more regulated way of life and reliable source of human interaction.... which is what our brains have evolved to encourage and benefit from.
Today though most of us probably have very small close family groups, with less scope for 'group wisdom', too much time on our hands, and too many opportunities.... whether that's opportunities to meet the wrong partner, to get the wrong job, to spend the wrong money, watch the wrong TV, or cruise the wrong internet forums for hours instead of doing the washing up (mea culpa!
. So a fog of indecision and regret can easily fill the gaps when things aren't going well.My advice to the OP? Get used to periods like this, or get busy. I suspect once you hit the ranks the latter will look after yourself and help you get a new perspective. I just hope you don't suffer from seasickness when they eventually let you loose on something floaty.
I think your depression answers that question!
Chin up mate!
Shes not the only fish in the sea.Then I'd politely tell you I've got the tshirt thanks, and an internet forum was, and will never, ever be the place for me to share my issues.

Well, I'm glad that you managed to get over it, but t-shirts come in different sizes for the very reason that everyone's different - just remember that.
I've been suffering from it on and off for nigh on a decade now and I only built up the nerve to finally speak to a doctor because it very nearly cost me my degree. Depressives by and large do not and will not help themselves; it sucks the life out of you. Some people hate to talk to anyone in real-life as it's a 'dirty' topic and it makes people seem weak when the reality is far different. Anyone who's suffered from it and managed to pull themselves together again are stronger than any naive goldilocks.
The reality is, people sometimes seek help when they need it only to be met with others who don't know how, or care enough to help. Individuals today couldn't give a crap as long as they're okay and it's disgusting.
Didn't bother reading the thread, but basically it's like this:
Talk to her, and be denied again, thus destroying your heart, but making it easier to let go because you will feel she has treated you badly.
OR
Talk to her, and get lovin. Win.
Either way, considering your current position, pouring your heart out will work out for the best (especially if you realise how stupid it sounds when you do so)
