Depression doesn't mean you're sad all the time. It means lacking interest or loss of enjoyment from things most people would find enjoyable. You just don't give a **** to nth degree, and no amount of doing good stuff changes the emptiness you feel. It takes a lot of strength and mental re-wiring to dig yourself out of that hole. This is why its hard to explain to most people because they simply write it off as "being sad" and that's it.
Hey can't blame someone for not knowing if they've never been in that situation themselves.

I don't want to sound insensitive, but this is literally me every morning before school.

have you missed enough days of school to fail despite straight 80s and 90s otherwise because it gets so strong that leaving the bed is a herculean task?

because I went from being able to go into high-level classes in high school to having to drop out within three years because of it

I feel you man. I've been failing all my classes and just generally having a **** time of it. I think it's because I've just stopped caring and just put all that passion and effort I put towards school to other tasks and hobbies.
My parents tried taking me to therapy, but I just couldn't get this therapist. He would constantly call me wrong and stupid, and tell me to dial back everything that isn't generally working. He called me an escapist for playing fighting games (really doc?), along with just calling out stereotypes until I was more depressed then I was to begin with.
To top it all off, the teachers at my school aren't very supportive, as they all tell me I've made bad "choices". Is it a choice that I'm just not generally interested in work that won't generally matter in an office environment years down the line, or an acting class forced upon me by the school system with a teacher that yells in my ear for not wanting to act.
Honestly though, I'm getting really tired of this ****. I've been planning my own mental therapy for awhile now, where I'm both the therapist and client.
I think by self-evaluation and resolve may I fix the ever-screwiness of my mundane, terrible life.

As much as I WOULD do that if I could, I'd end up on the streets if I did.

So I keep going.

I lost a lot of school this and last year because of waking up and thinking that being in bed is the best option for that day. It's kind of scary how many people here are in similar situations.

Huh, the best player in my state (JoeST) is on an indefinite hiatus.

Well then, this could be interesting. He was the only person who I really had trouble playing against, and some other guys were in my position as well.
People are going to try to level up so hard to take that spot. It's about to get lively here.

Not like it matters, CT sucks

Waking up on time but simply choosing to stay in bed rather than get ready for class? Sounds like my college career up till this current semester.

From someone who has struggled with depression for almost 9 years, the only advice I can give is to try and help yourself in anyway possible. Every little thing you do to help yourself eventually adds up and puts you in a much nicer state of mind down the road- just make sure to keep at it. It's really that simple and I wish I realized this years ago so that I could have maybe saved myself from the ****ty situations I've had to deal with and the consequences of those situations that I'm still dealing with.

$80? Sounds reasonable.

But really, go on Craiglist and see if anyone is selling. People give them away, seriously. As Plate said, go to Goodwill, they sell them cheap in most areas, but not all.

Or you could be 20XX and get a monitor + Wii hdmi adapter
Really only if you've got the money (like $150 for a 1ms monitor), but SOOOO much more convinent than a crt

Wouldn't the hdmi adapter have a delay on it, because its converting an analog signal to digital?

nah, five digits for a watch isn't out of the question, it happens often. that's not really the worrying bit; see, an analog watch lasts a long time. like, a REALLY, REALLY long time. your grandfather could use one as a kid, give it to your dad, and finally give it to you, and it'd still be very functional. watches are incredibly durable like that.

a "smartwatch" lasts roughly 18 months before it's outdated, as dictated by the logical scale. that is how most things in tech last. you're paying ten thousand dollars for something that will be useless by the time you even have a kid to give this damn watch to
