Why LIFE in BC doesn't suck.
After reading so many posts on how life suxs, I began to think that life does suck. And it times it does sux at times. :043: Friends ditching you, no love life, no success, no money etc.... The list could go on and on. But why must we dwell on this? I think we all are too hard on ourselves.
We live in Canada! A country which allows freedom of speech, prosperity is possible and top quality beer. What more could you want? I must say that everyone has there down time, but ALWAYS look at the bigger picture. Its not like were fighting a war in Afanghstan. Our suffering from an AIDS epidemic in Africa. If your on f&K.com and blabbing about your life you can't be that bad. :) Technology allows people to community with alot of people. People who could have the same issues as you. If your really down go volunteer at a hospital or a shelter and see how life could be. :040: Take a breath of fresh air and open your eyes. :035: If you don't like your situation, change it. Put your life in your own hands. Easier said that done, but its a start. I hope this post makes sense, cuz its late night and I might be just blabbing. :047:

I totaly see your point. That is why we should have more councellors who can help people with depression. A lot of people assume they have depression, but in actuallity they don't.

it's much worse
and expect it too be.
As for freedom of speech *haha* I bloody think not. Chek out Sangit Singh, has a voice, and he speaks the truth yet before a protest begins, he gets his ass hauled to prison for 17 days. This was in the wake of the WTO in Quebec. wth is that all about? he didn't even do much other than talking with friends. Another is a Guatemalan joining the protest but hangs farther back from the action. He's there to see what it is all about. He returns to Guatemala, and friends from canada are devasted by his disapprence. They have this sinking feeling that he was murdered by the military, suspicious of his attendence @ the WTO protest. I'm sure there are countless of others. As for posperity, well you bloody well have to be rich to survive here and no doubt as the govt is lapping them up like servents providing all the serivices while the rich mofo's live in all it's luxuries. Beer is ok. Not to diss you or anything, you try to see the better light of things. I can't and I will not stop. There is far more and far worse crimes being done on earth. It happens everyday, every month, day, hr etc. It happens right in front of you as a witness, or all covered up in a farce where you don;t even know it until later. by then, it's too friggin late. I'm sure you know this part??! I do volunteer @ a hospital(EG), and i do see and what I don't understand is just let that human being go! No matter IF they do revive or by some (miracle) IT does happen. i think everyone when faced with that situation even yourself weather to prolong that life or end it for the better. eh, good discussion! Anyways, I digress, once i've finished school, made sure certain individuals are comfortable. I will see the reality, and I want to be hit with the reality. Watching it, hearing it especially on TV, reading on paper is far from it. Where media is concerned, they sensationalize everything but this is the world we live in...'a dog eat , dog world"

1. Counsellors? Depressed people don't need counsellors, they do FUCK ALL for depression. 2. Depressed people need PSYCHOLOGISTS, PSYCHAITRISTS, HOSPITALS and TESTS. You know how long the shortest waiting list for a psychiatrist in the lower mainland? Eleven months. That's NEXT October. 3. If you're over 16, they won't see you at Children's hospital emergency. They won't see you at VGH if you're from Richmond. They will only see you at RGH if you're suicidal or "high risk". That's a load of bullshit. And WHY are there these shortages? Because people don't want to go into Psychiatry or Psychology. And no, if you feel depressed, sad all the time for no reason, etc, there's a very very good chance that you are depressed. Most people do not think they're depressed if they're not, because most people wouldn't want to admit that to themselves.

crtl.alt.del,
I totally see your perspective. Singh shouldnt be in jail. WTO event well it was just bad. BUT no place is perfect. I wish there was, but I think BC is still one of the best provinces to live in. Possibly one of the best places to live in North America. You said u volunteered at a hospital. Which one?? Quote:
Oddly enough some depression is just a chemical imbalance. :BOB: WOW, this thread is a good debate.

This is going to be a bit blunt.
People who bitch here about how shitty their lives are are FUCKING STUPID! At least you have a roof over your head, a bed to sleep on, food to eat, TP to wipe your ass with and a computer to play on. Go volunteer at a soup kitchen someday and see what those people have. You kids are fucking lucky to have all the shit you own and get in the future. Other kids somewhere else in this world are slaving away in sweatshops and have no choice in the matter. Orther are dying as we speak. I used to think how shitty my life was, then one day I clued in to just how stupid that statement is. Trust me, life can be a whole lot worse. Imagine everything that you have taken away and then things get worse. You have no friends, no one to turn to, wearing only what you have on now standing outside in the cold with nowhere to go, no place warm to sleep and hunger is setting in. Too bad you don't have any money to hit McD's. I just love those kids that are too good to work ar McD's so they go out and beg for change on the street because they rebel against their parents and fuck off. You kids nowadays are fucking spoiled. That is all.

I AGREE WITH.. DJ4MULA
Lots and lots of people including me make life to be such a
big thing that it needs to be. Life is what you make it.. you want to it to be big. it's you that makes it a big deal "YOU" not anyone else you can think RICHES is what all one needs LOVE FRIENDS etc. the list goes on.. ....... life is made of the little things.. when you're living large. you're bound to forget the little things in life. When you're living small.. you have all the little things.. and the large things .. are nothing but your dreams. I forgot what I was talking about.. but I hope you know what I'm talking about................. lates

Poeple need to think TWICE about what they say.. cause maybe if theres gonna say something, we should make them live it and sufer, and just see how much they like being 'depressed'... And i bet, once they've lived it, they wont kid about it anymore.. unless they're are some sorta screwed up mental case.. or just simply want pitty...

props to dj4mula for the positive outlook
i agree with galaxie on some parts....councellers do dick all..same with doctors..
5 years ago i went to the doctors because i had found out that i had mostly all of the symptoms of depression, i went there and the doctor asked me all these questions, and then he told me that i wasn't depressed when i knew full well that i was at that point....i was almost at the point of suicide, i had many many thoughts and urges about doing it, but thankfully never got to that point. the things that helped me through it support of my friends and myself it's kinda funny though cause now that i'm better, my mom has been freakin out that i have depression all of a sudden ( the past 2 weeks), and is making me see a psychologist and he diagnosed me with depression! and now my mother is stuffing pills down my throat every morning! :021: i keep telling her that i'm fine now! i don't have a problem anymore..that was 5 years ago! why are you doing this now? but she insists that i do have a problem.....*shakes head* anyone who knows me knows that i am not depressed :288: ......actually..now that i think about it :310: ....it's not really funny at all.......aaaahh! i think i've kinda swerved of topic a little...but hey! whatever! it's kinda on topic...... :500:

oh yeah!
and another thing......
those attention grabber people who claim they have depression, well maybe they do and that is their way of trying to reach out to somebody and get help? who knows.... everyone has different ways of dealing with it...some keep it buried inside...others blab... :119: i've noticed these days people blame and make excuses for their problems, on psychology. we've gotten so lazy that we feel we have to go to some guy at a desk and complain and complain and get someone else to figure out our minor problems in life. instead of figuring them out for ourselves....i don't know if i'm making any sense to you.....but I know what i'm talkin about :288: ...sooo... we blame our faults on psychology and so on and so forth.....there..i think that sumed it up :D: or wait....we use psychology as an excuse!...i think thats it aah! *throws hands up in the air* ....... i give up!!

i agree that bc is a very nice place.
i guess the only problem i have is that bylaw of 2am. most places i would go to closes by then and after... all u can do is smoke weed and i'm not gonna do that everytime i'm bored kuz i r not a pothead...yet. entertainment-wise...if it's one worthy thing The Province has said, it went something like this: "the city that fun forgot" remember what happened to all 3 raves 2 years ago? and what the city couldn't do for last year for fear of reminiscing the '94 canucks riot?

The thing is, life isnt about material things. So if your deprest miserable its probly not about waht have or dont have, your missing somthing else, something witch makes us realy enjoy life, cus we all know and are tot that money doesnt make us happy. I always wounder why 75% of the worlds population is in deep poverty and starving, yet we seem to be the ones comiting sueaside? And yes doctors do fuck all, but relay your just being lazy if you expect them to solve your problems. Depretion is a battle for yourself to fight, not a someone who got a pice of papper at UBC. And using prozac? Whats that gonna do? Agin your being to lazy to cope and deal with the dificaulties in life. Life isnt heven, or we would be in it. Life is a balanceing act, you get your good days and your bad. They make up for each other.
