None of my family are drinking at Christmas.

You could try starting a discussion of politics - that might result in some drinking. Or fights. Or both.

Oh god no. No one agrees on politics especially with brexit. Plus my brother is coming and he’s a righteous no it all pain in the arse. Not fun.

My side is liberal, my husband’s side is conservative and we don’t talk politics but when we do it’s usually civil.

Lots of my family drank on Christmas already and I’m talking about the Muslim side 😂 I didn’t but we still have beer and it’s only 2:30am so why not right?

Why are you here?

When I’m feeling down or stressed, helping others here helps me.

When I’m happy and relaxed, helping people feels extra good.

Win, win the way I see it.

As for here on earth... to make a small impact on those around me for the better, hopefully.

Nobody believes or understands me usually when I say that it's "bad timing"

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It’s definitely not something anyone should take lightly.

You have all of these reasons for living - your family, your pets... but what about you? Are you, yourself in all of your uniqueness, not a good reason to live?

What about all of the things you could offer the world? Every time you give helpful advice, every smile, kind word, thoughtful gesture... all of that is so important and you probably don’t even realize what a huge impact those small things make but they do.

When it’s dark, and you’re lost, try to be the light. Seek the good and I promise you will find it.

How to curb extreme irritability from depression?

If you’re sitting down, stand up. Physically move yourself from the situation. Take some deep breaths. Get out of your own head!

You lack self acceptance. That is the root to your insecurities.

What do you mean?

I have the same problem as music=life so I’m wondering what you mean as well.

A Housemate..

We all have our quirks, what’s irritating for you might not be for him. You should definitely talk to him. Communication is so key with roommates. (I lived with my brother in law and his girlfriend and my husband for 2 years).

Savannah, are you depressed? The poetry is amazing and I don’t want to read too much into it, but if you are, you can talk about it here.

The sin of sloth sounds an awful lot like depression

Yeah @DocteurRalph, you've made me feel so much better - THANKS..!

*she shuts up and goes to do some housework as she is meant to be cleaner than her male housemate

Nope, not at all what Ralph meant. I think it’s easier to give advice based on your own experiences, and that’s what happened here. My husband is so messy but that doesn’t mean I’m expected to deal with it. He doesn’t expect me to do all of the housework, he’s just entirely too comfortable living with dirty dishes and laundry around 😪

I think what Ralph said about keeping receipts and making sure everything is fair is really good advice. Definitely not on you to do more work, though.
