That was my point...you're always "thinking" about doing something. STOP FUCKING THINKING!!! Either DO something, or move on to the next broken dream.

I also called the crisis center at my area to make an appointment to see a psychiatrist for some ssri's, because it's about time.

Now that's an example of actually doing something.

You DO plan to keep the appointment, don't you?

I can understand if you don't really get me. You've never lived through it.

Don't be so sure about that. What I do know is that while exercise and SSRI's can be of benefit in treating depression, you'll also need to spend some time with a therapist who has training in that specific area as well.

You sound like a guy who reads a lot. Here's a book for ya - "Undoing Depression" by Richard O'Connor, Ph.D. You can purchase it at Barnes & Noble, or you can take it back to a chair and read it for free. Either way, it, along with the 3 things previously mentioned (exercise, SSRI's, and therapy) can probably help you. But if you don't do something, nobody in here, not all the King's horses nor all the King's men, can help you. Frankly, I don't know why they'd want to.

There...now ya have it. The next time you come in here saying, "I was thinking about doing this-or-that..." I'm gonna say "Good, because I was thinking about giving a shit, until I remembered how many people in this world have serious, life-threatening problems they can't do anything about."

The ball's in your court...
