You guys ever listening to music that it's cover is better than the original? Or at least elevated it more

Happen to me, but the people who did the cover unfortunately delete it.

Spoiler: pretty short essay (by my standards)

I've officially been diagnosed with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder).

I wasn't surprised. Nothing had felt fun lately. My favorite music sounded dull and bland. My favorite games became boring and tedious. I couldn't make anything I wanted without it looking like shit or tasteless.

I also knew I never felt happy. Everytime I laughed or smiled, it always felt forced, and usually when I did, it was always directed at another person, and never myself.

On top of it all, I've hated myself since the beginning, but you all probably knew that already.

But even still...

It's depressing (ha ha) to have your fears come true and be validated.

---

Speaking of validation...

I talked to my therapist about you guys, and noticed something.

I was relying on you all, your reactions and your positive comments as a form of external validation to cover up my lack of internal validation, instead of trying to validate myself, or even return that praise. Constantly checking my "Reactions Received" page, looking back on funny messages I sent... Imagine a guy with a superiority complex. That was me.

When I learned this, it became yet another insult I would scream at myself every day.

"Can't say "Thanks" to anyone, huh?! Fucking selfish prick!"

I hated this part of myself. Then again, I also hated every other part of myself as well.
One part I especially hate is how I hurt others' feelings. @athayanezant, if you're reading this, I'm sorry for ghosting you in those DMs all the time.

So, what did my therapist suggest I should do?

"Take a break."

And that's what I'll be doing for... I don't know how long. Maybe a day. Maybe two. Maybe three. Maybe a week. Maybe a month. Who knows?

So, I'm leaving again. But I will come back again. This time I'm sure of it.

TL,DR: I'm taking a break.

congratulations to the person who gets 17k in advance, I'm going to sleep

see y'all when I come out of hibernation

Take care @DavidianMillerian

I’ve personally found that the longer you stay consistently active on the forums, the more likely you are to start using them as a source of external validation. You end up becoming a reaction-chaser, which in turn hurts your own ego, completely defeating the purpose of the forums, which is to have fun. Eventually, you become an anxious, socially dependent user living in constant FOMO. So it’s great that you’ve identified the problem and are working on it. Good luck, and cheer up, brah! Life is amazing if you look at it through the right lens. 💪💪💪
