Yeah we tried that also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_cheese

Starting was both very hard and very easy. I had help from my partner, but when they would suggest things I would get defensive, even offended sometimes. I remember feeling hurt that they were pushing my problems onto someone else instead of helping me. In retrospect it was how they could help me, but at the time everything was so twisted up.

Eventually I just went along with things. Once I stopped fighting it, everything was easy. Because of weird insurance stuff I needed a referral before I could see someone. I didn't have a regular doctor. We just walked into an urgent care and said "I'm depressed and I need a referral to a psychologist." Within half an hour we had what we needed, paid our copay, and left. We set up an appointment with the doctor and just showed up together. Thankfully the hill I had to climb was of my own making. It usually is.

Once I was okay with going, everything was painless and quick from there. Things started improving, I started feeling things getting better, it was easier to stick with it.

Before I went on medication I had a lot of mental issues. I still do. They are just manageable now. I think a lot about how normal everything felt looking back on my behavior and feelings. To this day I understand intellectually how I used to struggle, but emotionally I feel like nothing has really changed. But everything changed. I am in such a better place now. It's still hard sometimes, but I am lucky to be where I am now. I know how easy it would have been to stay in that place.

I never felt like I needed medical help. I went because those close to me thought it was a good idea. It was life changing.

I'm not saying your situation is the same as mine, but I understand. I would recommend talking to a psychologist. I never thought it would change anything. I'm so grateful to have been wrong.

I must second this. I think the problem is these morons are the loudest in the room and have no self awareness. Most people likely agree, just quietly.

All I can think of here is Government Cheese. Murica.

Is there some kind of deeper meaning or message here? or is this just a weird thing to do in front of a police line?

This is exactly what I came here to say. They are militantly against duplicates. Doesn't that mean on a long enough timeline the number of new questions have to eventually reach zero?

I use stack overflow every day and have for years. I have never once had to ask a question.

At first I was like, Get right fucked... Then I thought... Actually. I do think about death a lot. Its starting to sound nice at this point. Fair play.

I kind of love that can opener. More tools should be available for public use like that. Could you imagine? A stand mixer just bolted to the wall, bring your own bowl and spatula.

Expected combat, got combat. 10/10 lol

Can we take a moment to talk about what this was written on the back of? It looks like a building plan that looks like an ultra open concept space with doors instead of walls. All the exterior walls are just marked as doors. And I think there is a bathroom that looks to just be in the main space. No walls there either. This is some serious office nightmare fuel. You work outside now, we open all the doors. Poop in the corner while we judge you for not working while you do it.

Play some farming simulator. I've learned so much about different types of agricultural equipment, their uses, the process of where food comes from. I feel like if things ever feel out in the tech sector I could easily transfer to agriculture.
