Leave some thoughts here for my friend Steve, going through a hard time..

Dont know if u are active but Running is some amazing medicine


I strap on the Ipod, put it on ALL GNR Albums and just go

Time I get done I feel great.

Or, you could steal some GNR albums and run when the security is after you, gives it more of a kick.

I mean, running is just boring.

I like the crazy bitch approach.  Life is all about perspective.  You've found out she's a crazy selfish bitch.  Some day you'll meet a wondeful woman.  A wonderfully giving woman that will be so great to you, you'll question whether or not you deserve her!  You might feel just as shitty questioning your worthiness!     Note that and just grin.  That's life.  The difference between tragic and hilarious isn't that big.  It all depends on how you look at it. 

(p.s., a decade from now, when my son hits his teenage years, make me go back to this post so I can give him some good advice.   )  We've all been through this before.  Fuckin Crazy's right.  You'll look back at this with a big smile and laugh.

Steve I'm sorry you're going through a hard time, just keep your chin up
When I'm going through a hard time, I try to keep myself very busy, to keep me distracted
I think you are very fortunate to have a good friend who's looking out for you on this forum
you will be in my thoughts. Take care of yourself.

Hard times are hard.

But it gets better with age. Take comfort in the future, and that it exist.

Thanks guys. I been reading the responses here and thinking about how lucky I was Benny introduced me to this forum in the first place. I really appreciate all your thoughts and kind words. Benneth, you are a fucking legend man! I want you to know it, and one day you will believe it.

Funny you mention it but I started a running program about 2 weeks before the shit hit the fan. I have a bad cold at the moment though so I can't really do the running thing now, but as soon as this cold fuck's off I'll be out pounding the pavement again. It does feel great! Now that I'm not a fat bastard, it's funny how I actually enjoy exercise. I weigh 79kg (174 pound) now, when I used to weigh 117 kg (257 pounds)

STR - Keeping busy is a good idea. I'm being trained as an Apple Certified Technician at work so it's easy to stay busy here. You're right though, I'm lucky to have a friend like Benny.

Axl4Pres - Thanks buddy, I hope I find her soon!

SinCut - Ahhhh. You see the problem is the source of my depression. No way I'm gonna fix myself like that cause quite frankly, I suck with women. I do appreciate the story though man and I'm glad you're not depressed anymore.

Razzberry - You're right man. I don't think she will ever apologise for what she said but an apology would not be enough anyway. She has shown her true colours and I don't want to be friends with someone that selfish. Thanks for sharing man, and it is good to know that even if the funk does last for a while, there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.

D - "Be strong and dont be afraid to fight for and gain your independence. Its rough at first but once u get through it, U will feel amazing and will also find the right person who will treat u the way u want to be treated." - never a truer word was spoken. Thanks brutha.

Eddie's Tongue - I'm starting to find the positives already. At least now I'll be going to live by the beach. That is my fucking dream locataion. Cheers mate.

Bandita - You damn right. I spent way too much time trying to make her happy, driving her around, helping her parents move, watching the shit she likes to watch. Ironic that the end of our friendship was her saying how much I attack her with my depression.  Now it's time to look out for moi. 

Polluxlm - I'm looking forward to the future being a hell of a lot better than this. The scars WILL heal with time, I know this.

Anyone else I missed - Thanks for the support. It's amazing how something like a message board about G'n'R can be a place for such support and it does mean an awful lot to me that you would take the time to share your thoughts and experiences.

Yeah, when there's nothing going on with gn'r we tend to start playing shrinks, doctors, lawyers. You know, whatever's needed. 

Good to see you're already on the way up.

Today is one of lower days I may have ever had.  So much fucking shit.  I am so pissed and angry.  I tried to take a nap, I couldn't.  I can't stop thinking about it.  Its so sad and depressing, like where do I go from here?  What the fuck do I do?  I am gonna grab some brews as a bandaid and look at some new pussy.  Just when you think you have the one.  Just when you think there isn't a better girl out there for you.  Bam, its all fucking gone. 

Steve, good luck with what you are going through. 

I did play some guitar, neck pickup, rolled back the tone to get that KOHD tone.  I just oozed passion in my playing.  Being down like this taps into my creative juices.  I don't know if I can ever top this girl.

Not to diss your relationship and the heavy meaning it has on u and your heart, but u will top her.

I've had 3 significant loves in my life and I felt the same way after the first 2. I thought it would be impossible to ever feel or have again what I had with those.  The one I have now blows them out of the water combined 1 trillion to one.

Remember though, Things end bad or they wouldn't end.  Each relationship that doesn't work just puts u one step closer to finding enlightenment and the true one u are suppose to be with.

Embrace the misery and see it as a time to reflect, change and get stronger.


Once u get through it, U will be stronger and just have a greater sense of self.

D, great post!!!!  I am such an idiot for getting in the relationship i did anyway.  I was looking at some sex videos we made, if I can ever get a fuck as good as her I will be shocked.  I trained her so well.  Fuck.

Gosh. I'm late to this post but Steve man, don't spend one minute of your time, not one damn minute getting to know someone who is as selfish as some of the people you describe. Everyone here is basically right. As you grow older, things with friends, relationships, etc., get better because you learn what to avoid and especially people.

I had friends and lovers like that, if it wasn't a good time, they didn't want to be around. It was all about keeping their party going. And who the hell needs friends like that? Friends, lovers are the ones that will stick with you through good and bad and offer you the other cushion from the couch if that is the only place they have left to stay.

And let me tell you this, something I never realized but getting older and going through some shit myself right now, your health is the most important thing for you to take care of. If you don't take care of yourself, you can't do shit for others. So, even if you are depressed, take care of it and don't worry about other people right now - think only about yourself - and if the only thing bothering you is depression, then be grateful that you don't have anything more serious. But don't keep the depression too long because negativity can have a toll on the body too. It can bring on disease. So, screw the rest, take care of the best.

I've been on anti-depressants forever - I've learned to live with it. No one can tell me why I'm depressed. It's not situation anymore, it's a chemical thing. Just keep thinking, this shall pass too. And more people are depressed than you realize. You are actually not alone. And you have a good bud on this board.

In 2007, my life went to hell. I was robbed, laid off, went through a variety of bad family affairs such as my cousin having to kill just to save his own life. So, I know what it's like. good luck to you.

Of course, the positive of this is that I've been able to grow and become much stronger now.

^nice words D.  Very true.  I might be the wrong person to talk about feeling good right now.  In the past week I've collapsed (didn't break anything) was ambulanced to the emergency room, I've been running fevers, my throat is red and sore as fucking hell, my lungs hurt from coughing like a mofo, both my kids and wife are sick, I've been out of work for about a week, and I'll stop bitching.

Steve, it gets better.  I can't stand Winter.  Don't let it bum ya out.  Whatever it is, don't let it bum ya out.  I recommend the Costanza method from Seinfeld.  When he was in a funk, all he did was do the opposite of everything he was going to do.  The result?  It worked!  He got the girl, the job, the happiness, etc.  In the real world, a variation of this does work.  

On a serious note too, if a buddy of mine made a post like this for me, I think it means he actually cares about my well-being.  You can't have enough people like that in your life, trust me.  That's what real friends care about...your happiness.  Give Ben785 a call and patch it up.  

Hang in there Axl4prez...you're a rockstar, and rockstars always make a comeback!!!!!

Steve, everything happens for a reason...keep on rocking dude!!!!

Fuck that! Take comfort in liquor and whores; they are much more fun ... in the future, you only get older.

Well, those aren't mutually exclusive, are they?
