What's WRONG with me?

I am depressed, and agitated, and irritated, and feeling worse about myself than I have IN YEARS. For those of you who know me, I am usually a little on the too-confident side. So, it is bugging me like crazy to be soooooo down on myself. It's like I am possessed.
What can I do? All the advice I delve out to others in their times of need escapes me. I feel like locking myself away to rot. Or, alternatively, moving to to Spain or Italy to disappear (perhaps with a Javier Bardem look-alike?). If only I were independently wealthy... Then I could afford it.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Also, to reward you for getting through that little pity-party, here is my theory on REPRODUCTION, which I have always held in some version, but has recently been thrown into the fire and perfected:
I think people should have to apply to reproduce. And pass a strenuous screening process. And the people who are too dumb; the people who would raise jerky, crappy children; and the people with little or no soul would be involuntarily neutered. Or whatever. Maybe they can still have sex, but their tubes are tied? Something. We gotta regulate.

I suggest a large dose of Walter followed by a pulling up your boot straps and getting over it. Hows that for understanding? Minimum standard for reproduction is you are not some crack head going to have a grand parent somewhere raise the child. Very unfair how undesirables seem to get preg willy nilly and people who really want children can't...

Have you seen Idiocracy? That is the reason why I would agree with you about the reproduction application.


I hear you about the down on yourself...mine takes in a large spectrum. Like this morning, I wanted orange juice and we have had some in our fridge, but I don't drink any of it because of the sugar in it. But this morning, I poured myself a glass and thought, as I drank it, "Wow, wouldn't it be nice to live a life where I don't have to feel guilty about drikning orange juice?" It's a silly little thought, but it kind of represents a whole lotta thoughts I've been having.

your vent was pretty small, by the way, I believe mine have been taking up entire pages and pages.

Nothing that a bunch of Karaoke couldn't have helped last night... we missed you!

PS> I totally agree with your reproductive theories. Why is it that all of the people who shouldn't be having children are, and those who should aren't?
