Be thankful you're not me. I haven't done anything in weeks (and I mean anything), and I haven't been on the antidepressants in months. I'm lonely, bored, depressed, and filled with anxiety. At least there's music.

Does that include not smoking weed? If you've been a heavy smoker for years, your going to be feeling pretty shitty for a couple of weeks.

^Truth. But it's not uncommon to get depressed from smoking a lot of weed. It makes you feel better in the moment, but doesn't give you the motivation to actually fix your life. This coming from a fairly regular smoker who's had to watch himself. I now only smoke when I'm with friends, or sometimes alone, if I'm not feeling depressed.

Neph: Sounds pretty rough, but you're still young people don't really want to start hanging out until like college. So things my change in regards of having things to do in a few years. I get a lot of what you described as well, never took any medicine for it because just don't believe in that sort of thing...Honestly, think it doesn't do anything. Lots of these things most people can fight off if they train their mind properly (and of course diet well and exercise). My problem now is that I work in the night my days seem to drag on for far too long. May end up volunteering somewhere. Maybe this can help you? Sometimes when you have too much time to think, it's not good when you're prone to depression.
But yes, music is a great medicine. Anything artistic, really.

Yeah, I realize things will change, and I do need to get out more. I'd like to get back into weightlifting, but that just hasn't happened yet... I personally think the meds do help, as I'm prone to anxiety attacks, and it's kinda hard to train your mind in regards to that. It will get better though, but for the moment, it does suck balls. Good luck in regards to getting over your awkward stage, too.

Neph: As much as you drive me nuts, I can't help but respond: I was in your situation at your age, had terrible anxiety and still do. But there are side effects to antidepressants that are lasting - weight gain, and even worse, sexual (I take wellbutrin, which is one of the ones with few side effects.) Benzodiazepines can also help, but they are physically addictive. I take klonopin as well, though I'm told this should only be for short-term use, and I'm starting to already develop a reliance on it. I don't know why your doctor discontinued your meds (is that why you stopped?) but you should have a talk - or look around for another doctor if need be. Chin up up man, it gets better.

This girl sounds a bit crazy, for sure. Just a bit.
But the part that confuses me the most is (assuming this is the US) how did she violate her second amendment rights? She must have forgot the part where the dentist broke into her house and stole her gun.

Got to teach on MLKs "I Have a Dream" speech to my 10th grade class today. Was probably my favorite lesson I've ever taught. The students really connected with it and I was able to push the conversation to the way class inequality effects us today, which really got their attention. Unfortunately the assignment had to be degraded by an ultra-austere district required test on the speech. If it was up to me we would have done something way more interesting. When I'm teaching my own class I think I'm gonna have the students write and read their own social justice speeches modeled after King's.
Now I have to make a 180 day curriculum, which is due tomorrow and I haven't even started it. All I want to do is sleep.

You're right - 50 years later, there are so many inequalities that we STILL are not able to fight. I've heard the term "post-racial society" (obviously bullshit) but for a society that has progressed so much since then, we have such a long way to go. I could go on and on as I have pretty strong opinions on this, but I'll spare you guys the preaching.
Are you the main teacher for your classes, by the way? (I know you mentioned this to me a while ago, I just forget...)

Yeah some people just have their heads under a rock. Stuff like post-racial society is laughable when there's so much inequality and so many institutional reinforcements to that inequality.
Right now I teach one 10th grade period for 3 hours a week. In a few weeks I'll also start teaching an 8th grade period 3 hours a week. The rest of the time I'm observing my guiding teachers. So it's a nice balance of getting to really lead a pair of classes but still getting a chance to observe vet teachers a work. But as the year goes on I'll be teaching more and more.
