Control: give up

You should give up on your dream of making it. You should fight less at your job. You are going to fail anyway. You might as well not try as hard. Your order of wargaming minis won’t show up for 2 more weeks. Theres no reason to panic or complain. No one will care.

You don’t want to date. She or he will cheat with that person you hate anyway. You can’t please your partner anyway. There is no point in trying.

I advise you to eat fattening foods. No one likes your looks anyway so you might as well be fat.

Don’t try to win the lottery because it is super rigged. Do not expect to win strategy game tournaments. You will lose. Do not pretend to be happy. That is for other people.

You will die. You shouldn’t try to stop death.

Life is a miserable series of dull, vapid incidents that don’t help you at all.

Money matters, and you don’t have enough of it.

You didn’t learn enough. You didn’t memorize everything you were supposed to learn in college, and now it is too late. You are uneducated.

You will never write a quality novel. You don’t know how to. No amount of instructions will help your writing quality.

Thanks for listening.

This is what life is like with depression. There seems to be no way out.

Thanks, and take care, friends.
