I disagreed and left it at that, I didn't nor do I intend to take it further. As you're so well versed, I'm sure you'll concede it's hardly something you *get over* and leave behind you indefinately either.
I don't feel the need to plaster 'IMO' across every post because that's what discussion is, opinion. But just for you sir, IMO this is hardly depression, especially judging from previous threads. Which is the point I initially made.
I don't need to spend my time discussing the wherewithals of depression on a computer hardware orientated internet forum thanks

Steady on, I'm not being belligerent with you - I just really dislike the 'man up and get on with it' bravado people plaster over depressives; all it ever shows is their own ignorance. You're right, it never goes away. It's like having your eyes completely replaced with some strangers. And I wont disagree with you on the other point either; I've said it myself: this is unrequited love, nothing more. Real depression is a whole different kettle of fish.
The only thing I've picked you up on was your blanket statement (sure, it was probably an opinion, but many people wouldn't realise that) that turning to a stranger on the internet is a bad idea; it's really not. These forums are just as good as any other place. Despite the mockery and cynicism that this place generates, there is very much a beating heart and unwritten rule. This place has real people on the other side of their screens, and this is very much a community in the traditional sense. When people reach out, people here do listen. Now, if that helps someone as a coping mechanism on that long path to either 'recovery' or seeking professional help (incidently, I refused medication when I did go to the GP - truth be told, I was scared on how it would change me - depression has shaped me in ways many simply will not understand - it teaches you things), then it's anything but pointless or stupid.

You quoted me disagreeing and dismissing the issue. I never said it was a bad idea, I simply disagreed that talking to people on an internet forum was easier than talking to real people.
Why should I feel the need to prefix every statement with 'IMO, and this is only for me, it might be entirely for different for you or everyone else because we're all different and cope in different ways' blah blah blah.
This is a thread, posted by a fella who's miserable over some bird who's seeing someone else because he's acted like a numpty. And all the psychoanalyst 'I've been there' experts have marched in and compared prescriptions. Nothing more.

Hahaha, trust me , shes long forgiven me for that - its all past
Ahhh. So it's another instance of acting like a muppet that's left you pining like a lost pup?

If i were you mate, id forget about the girl and look forward to your new experience, you dont need girl troubles weighing you down. Its gonna seem impossible but it really isnt, you'll look back and wonder why you spent so long worrying about something you had absolutely no control over. You'll eventually accept the way things are and move on to greater things.
I was late to work today and as a result didn't get time to visit the local bakery for my cheese and bacon pasty...depression time for me!!!
Think I might dose it up with some sort of shame spiral too!
Oh dear, it's contagious.
The girl at the checkout in the supermarket didn't wink at me yesterday, I think it's over, my heart feels hollow. How do I go on?

Life sucks, we all get depressed.
You know what i do when i get depressed.
I drink heavily, do a lot of drugs and just generally remove myself from my normal sobriety until i forget about all my problems.
Works a treat for me but i wouldn't recommend it.
What you've always got to remember though is it could always be worse and it's never worth topping yourself, trust me buddy, that bottle of pills might look like an option sometimes but you can't let it consume you.

at the end of the day navy > 99% of woman, my career move ruined my last relationship, it puts off a lot of birds too, one night stands are easy enough, and if someone is willing to live with the fact you're navy then they must like you a lot.
