Thanks for being so willingly open on the internet about your problems. I could never do that.
@Mevansuto, nothing that I stated here could be used against in any form, so I just don't mind that much. I didn't share anything too personal really, in the first text, when I talked about the plausible reason of my depression, I clearly said I wasn't willing to share my problem.
Then again, the main reason I wrote that text wasn't to share my problems - the text is self-explanatory, I wanted to thank people that helped me, simple, I think.

It gets a lot easier to talk about once you realize that practically everybody has some kind of "thing" of varying severity that they're dealing with, whether it be depression, body image issues, anxiety, bipolar, etc.
At one point I thought I was defective, but now I realize that yes, while I do have "problems" I would be a completely different person without them. For the better? Sometimes, but not others. Genius and madness are different shades of the same color, Tesla and Einstein would agree.
Hmmm? Is that this quote in my signature?

Psychiatric medicine compared to physiological medicine (like that distinction is relevant) is still very very far behind. We only just got past our boring head holes stage and are now balancing humors...
There was a time where shocking mentally ill people was considered a optimal course of action thankfully that time is somewhat gone no doubt due to a few actuall doctors of the time going "this isn't working..." no doubt at the chagrin of all the quacks of the time.
No doubt some doctors that actually practice medicine as opposed to pretending to, see that flushing the entire brain with one compound to treat a problem in one specific part is not within the realms of safe.
So smart competent doctors will and should refrain from throwing pills at every problem, that being said I wouldn't take the pills away, drugs have their place in medicine they are just misused especially in the psychiatric field.
This is a very kind and lovely post. I like that.
Well, now you've got 2 (@Padfoote and I) team member posts on here. We aren't "staff", but we are on the "team"— it's an important distinction to be madeIn which level of stupidity I need to be to, every 30 seconds, refresh the page waiting for a FTB Team member's response? - I just noticed how much of an attention whore I sound. Nevermind then.
@ThomazM I must admit, that I would never expect such a well written post on a gaming forum from a person of your age. That alone should serve as a pillar of light for you. You clearly have a very good mind, even though it might sometimes trick you, and make life harder.
I have had a series of problems myself in my youth (however none as severe I must admit), and the single best piece of advice that I can give you is:
Don't worry. Whatever shortcomings, errors and faults we have, are a huge part of making us into the men and women we become.
While it may be hard to find comfort in that now, I truly believe that you one day, will find that exact statement to be true.
I will not delve into my past too much, but the main part of the story is that life is a tricky thing, but my personal experience is; the harder life is on you, the better a person you have the chance of being. (sorry for sounding like an old man)
I will leave you with this little quote from the American Poet John G Whittier:
No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope and fear;
But grateful take the good I find,
The best of now and here.
Be well.

Well, wiki team.
@fleutius, that's not what I said! Haha'
But really thought, I'm one hundred percent sure this is only a phase, I've been told that way too many times now to not believe it. Don't get me wrong, I legitimately couldn't be more thankful by all the support, really - but I do hear this kind of stuff a lot. You should understand, from what I understood you had some problems like mine when you were younger as well - By the way, I'm so glad to hear that you got over all this, gives me hope, I'm guessing that's the right term.
It's funny you mention Jonh's work, together with Edgar Allan Poe and Walt Whitman, he is one of my favorite's poetists of all time.
But I'm blabbing way too much, summing up, thanks man, I truly appreciate all the support.
@SatanicSanta, I do considered you guys from the FTB Team, obviously, I mean, I already read the Wiki at the very least one hundred times or so, therefore, I do feel like I have to thank you guys as well - In a different way, but still... And, to be completely honest, I always fangirl a little bit when I see that little purple tag in someone's reply. >.<
By the way, awesome name.

Pfft.

You can't even see this let alone be this!
I just wanted to take a moment to share the fact that just now I realized @Eyamaz liked the OP - Thanks a bunch, Eya!
EDIT: Extremely sorry I 'bumped' the post, I really wanted to reply.
Liked it when it was posted iirc, and Ty.
