Too Cynical
Today on campus is "Depression Awareness" Day. How fun. Basically, what is going on is that there are booths set up with cute pamplets and candy to lure the sad in. So, I decided to look at what they were handing out and all that jazz. I'm there asking them what a sad person is to do. I guess this fill out this survey and go see an on campus counselor. Sounds nice. I almost decided to go talk to one just for kicks. But then I thought about it. What the hell are they going to tell me that will make me happy. A bunch of fluff. I can imagine it now, "You can do it Santino. Believe in yourself and stick to your goals and never give in. It'll all be worth it one day" Maybe they'll advise me that I should sleep more and eat more nutrious. Maybe even a suggestion to have more social interaction by joining a club on campus or something. But I just can't imagine anything Earth shaking. Are they going to help me finacially? NO. Are they going to make me and my family functional. No. Make Michelle be on time and stop being a germaphob? Maybe. But she is at work and has no time for that. So much for that right?
I got to go and attend one of the seminars. Its for extra credit in my Social Psych class. Joy. There will be discussions. I think I will ask them something that will trip them up. Hmm.

Glad you have so much confidence in counselling. I mean with you studying psychology and everything.
I think the only useful thing to say is that there may be brighter days ahead. Especially with a psychology degree. If you fail completely you could always join the harah krishna. And if even that doesn't work out there is always the military to consider.

You guys get Depression Awareness Day? Here we get TV ads that come on during every damn commercial break that show this guy being all sad and listless after his fiancee throws off her ring, and then he's in his office and he can't get any work done. And in the end a serious voice comes on and says: "You may be suffering from depression." I swear they annoy the hell out of me. *I'm* currently depressed, so I feel the sting.
I actually see the school counsellor. I've only seen her once but I plan to see her again. I was actually pissed that she didn't bring my mum back after the session ended. But I remind myself that that's not why I see her. I see her to have someone to talk to, to let shit off my chest, because God knows there's no one for me to do that with!
Anyways, enough about me. I heard R.E.M's 'Everybody Hurts' today. It's just a song but I think everyone needs some kind of reassurance every now and then. Put it on if you need one.

his fiancee throws off his ring? Ow, that hurts!! I can tell.
I think it's most important not to have your self esteem, to believe in yourself etc.
And one of the reasons many people feel like poo is because they are lonely. So having someone to talk to, someone that cares and most importantly someone that understands does help.

Hi Hubbie. I miss you a lot. I know I know I will see you in 25 min, you probably see me before you read this, but this is for when you reread this entry after a few years later :P. Anyways, I'm being stupid and just bored. You know what though, talking about depression, without you I will be depress, so the only cure for depression is you :P. Bye.
