My aspirations are Voice Acting and Game Development.

Glad you're doing better for your self JAKACHAN. Good luck in the future!
Hey man, it's really impressive that you already have goals and what you want to become in the future (Voice Acting, that's cool as fuck!). That's a big driving force for everything you do in life, so make sure never to let go of those goals!
You might want to read "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle to solve your overthinking problems :) It's a bit spiritual but a huge help for everyone, that I know of, who read it. Also, Feeling Good The New Mood Therapy by David Burns has helped a lot of people out of depression. I know it's in no way easy to deal with depression and it's really not cool that you have to deal with it, so stay strong a'ight? :)

Good luck bro, you're still young so don't forget living the way you want it and always, always improving on yourself (ofc also do that when you get older! :D)

PS: If you want the pdf of those books send me a pm.

Hey dude. Yeah, Voice Acting and Game Development have always been a passion of mine. I can do Anime/Videogame voice impressions, and i am even in a fandub of Angel Beats coming out very soon ^_^. I plan to go public with voice acting by putting it in my Indie RPG i shall be working on.

Thanks a lot for the recommendations! Will definitely check them out. ^_^

I think you're pretty well off and doing good at the moment. Depression just complicates life so much, and I personally have severe depression (and insomnia and other things that I found out after like autism) to the point where I wasn't attending much school, and then I got demitted last March. You have goals. That's the most important thing. I thought that myself, that I'll never get anywhere in life. Yet, that's what I'm scared of.

Don't give up, and stay strong. Don't quit schooling, it'll get you somewhere. Focus on yourself and do what makes you happy. Depression isn't something you can really get rid of, you can only minimize it. You can never say you're not good at anything. Always keep learning, and putting the effort in what you like to do, and always keep improving.

I'm 18 years, turning 19 this April. I would've been a high school graduate last summer but, well you know what I said before. I've been trying to get active, more fit, and most importantly trying to get somewhere in life. I've been applying to college, planning to take industrial design and woodshop and constantly checking up with them to see my status. I currently work at a restaurant as a senior apprentice for their sushi bar. I hope to open a Japanese restaurant myself someday. I've had issues with my girlfriend, and I have been taking the time to kind of reflect on what kind of person I am, and what I can do to improve my personality and behaviours.
idkfa lolz
i started playing osu because of league (huehahe)
and quit playing league because of osu

best decision ever


oh yeah and for some reason i've overcome the schizophrenic episodes i've had for a couple months (probably from a bad lsd trip i've had), which is really nice and comforting

and if things work out fine i'll be going back to school this summer to get a proper graduation which i screwed up before because i was being a stupid 17 year old, and that's also really cool because that whole 'cutting myself off of social things' thing is starting to get somewhat out of hand for me lately

I recently heard some good advice, even though it wasn't really directed to me, but it inspired me.
"I just don't care. You shouldn't care either. Just do what you want without doing something stupid, Im using instinct"
this helped some how, I always over worry and i'm so anxious at times, and idk, hearing this brought some closure
with that, I hope to become stronger by not worrying and put my trust in others

I'm finally going to get my sight checked tomorrow and probably get glasses.

Not wanting to repeat my test fails, I revised HARD before my Physics test today. I asked my dad for help with revising, and I claimed a Scientific Dictionary (I'm taking Triple Science next year, hopefully) and tabbed any necessary words that I needed. I felt pretty good.

I thought I'd got a D, according to my friend's marking.
Turns out, he didn't mark correctly.
I got a B. And this is GCSE level.

So yeah. I've bettered myself a lot by doing that. :)

I majorly cut my smoking, used to smoke like a pack a day, but now some days don't smoke at all, some days maybe 1 or 2, feel pretty proud since been smoking for quite some time, hopefully some day soon I'll realize haven't smoked in weeks or months.

Also, played more osu! :)

I have a really bad case of habitual absenteeism, same anger issues, depression, and anxiety.
I don't really know why I started not going to school for like 1/2 day/s in a week or in any other week but for the past school years, I do well in school.
(Might be due to peer pressure or the mere fact that I didn't have any motivation at all.)

I'm trying to better myself with just doing things that I really love, giving myself a space or an alone time and was thinking about moving to a new school or just hang on until our Summer vacation starts. :D

I am extremely afraid of dark.. not really the dark but the unknown. I imagine things a lot and I always picture a man running at me and I just book it, running up the stairs. I don't know if this is helping me but I've been reading a lot of http://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep lately and for some reason, I'm coping with my fear. (for those of you who don't know, nosleep is a reddit page full of scary spooky stories)

ya, thats it 8-)

It's awesome to see people still posting in this thread!

I recently got a job as a Bar Lead/Mixologist so my life is heading in a great direction! I may even have my own house soon!
Xanaehla
Discipline myself :3
daredakke
Actually did some of the work I need to do for uni (I do web development).

It's a good feeling when things turn out to take a lot less time and effort than you thought. I worry needlessly it seems.

That sounds naughty.

Met a friend after more than a year and talked about history with her over 3 hours on the street. We came to some major conclusions, which made both of us a bit more knowledgeable.

Keeping my daily walks, being less worried, searching for internship/apprenticeship slots, read an amazing short rant from a friend which calmed me.

Man, I really miss the first few pages when people actually cared enough to elaborate. Short posts evoke no emotions in me, sorry guys.

Either way, there are several things about me again. First, but probably the least, I finally have a new computer. Stuff, such as games and internet socializing, video and graphic editing should and will be more accessible and less frustrating in the future. Not sure about music producing as I don't have too much of my motivation anymore/yet. But hey, at least now I can keep myself occupied even outside osu! and real life stuff (I mean video editing has always been nice and Hearthstone already started addicting me).

Secondly, I've actually started being more social in real life, hence my latest inactivity. New friends, reuniting with old friend(s) and all that. I still do have several people from my school who I'd like to get to know better (or in some cases get to know them at all, for example, if I talked to them only once and even that was months ago). Socializing is really cool, even with more than just a few great friends. Guess increasing quantity in smaller amounts doesn't necessarily mean decreasing quality.

Thirdly, school. I'm actually doing better in school, with matriculation exams incoming and me spending time and putting effort in studying. Most of the time 75 minutes per day, but I do admit slacking off every now and then. Not much time for that now that I have only 9 days left, though. Also I'm doing well in Swedish FINALLY after 5 years, also still doing well in psychology (probably forever since that's the most interesting stuff ever) and hopefully in biology, which should be one of my last mandatory courses in high school.

So yeah. In short, putting more effort in valuable stuff and stepping out of comfort zone actually does good to your life and I'm sure I won't regret what I've been doing to myself lately. Also I've started eating more healthily (eating less shit and more proper food, though still not enough fruits and vegetables) which I guess will definitely not ruin my life in 40 to 50 years.
Aurani
Probably because rarely anyone gives two fucks about entire blocks of text. I would write 3 bloody pages if I had the time and people cared enough, but nowadays (with all the new mongrelic children) no one really reads it, so the only viable purpose of this thread is venting.
