User blog comment:SnakeTongue237/General Nastiness: Where I've been over the past few months./@comment-25947144-20160817091421/@comment-26112985-20160817110903

I've admitted that I'm in need of professional help. However, my family simply can't afford to send me to a therapist or psychiatrist. My episode with appendicitis pretty much drained us. I'm hoping my parents will be able to work up the money soon though, because you're absolutely right. It's exactly what's needed.

"Why are you so sad all the time? Have you tried to be happy?" Good god. I hate that one too. People who say this have no idea what depression truly is. A chemical imbalance in the brain that makes happiness a near impossibility.

I'll leave you a message if I'm ever feeling particularly nasty. Thanks man.
