I confess my daughter started High School yesterday and I'm terrified for her.![]()
Why?

I confess that I've been living with lifelong depression. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
I confess I have man crushes on Chris Pine and Henry Cavill.

I agree with this. I'm a pretty extreme introvert, but I get into funks if I live inside my own head. I need to be helping people, or interacting with them at the very least. The relationship thread here on SHH is a good example.Occupy yourself, occupy yourself, occupy yourself.
I'm not a professional by any means, so maybe this is all bull, but speaking from personal experience I know that depression has always been worse when I'm sitting around at home, aimlessly browsing the computer and feeling sorry for myself.
Go outside. Take a walk. Take a run (any good exercise will release endorphins, which will make you happier. **** yeah, science!). Draw something. Write something (it's corny, but it really can be a great way to get your emotion out of your head and into something tangible). A great thing to do is to volunteer your time to people in need. Maybe at a homeless shelter, or at a program for adults wanting to get their GEDs and such, or at a suicide hotline. Not only will it help you really put your problems in perspective, but the satisfaction of helping to improve someone's quality of life is immense.
Also, don't be afraid to vent to people. I'm always willing to listen and talk, and I'm sure plenty of other people here are too. This is a good community, take advantage of it.
But above all, keep your head up![]()
I'm not entirely comfortable with a biopic I'm writing being 170 pages +, but then again on the other hand plenty of films are way way way longer than this. And with the amount of material in this - it's literally impossible to tell this guy's story in any less than that.

Yeah, I spent the last year pretty much alone since I graduated from college and didn't have a job or any friends since they were still in school. It was really rough and put me in a really bad rut after I felt like I had a very successful 3-4 months to start off the year.Same. Definitely have to agree with what everyone else said. Distractions are a key to keep yourself from brooding on things and having your mind wander into places it shouldn't.
As an introvert, I found that having a close circle of friends matters, even if it's just one or two, a few quality people motivating me to stay balanced is better than most which are usually total ****'s.
I confess that I feel as if my story's going to implode in on itself in terms of characters. I started making them to show certain things essential to the plot; now they're doing their own thing and telling me to...go away and leave them be.
