All these posts are very constructive. A lot of good valuable insight is given to malboro_man. This is priceless.
For me, couple years ago I also went to the psych and follow group therapy. Looking back, it didn't help me much. We're so unique. Sorry, I'm fuckup-beyond-repair.
Guys, what scared me the most is somebody going through depression... no one help him out... no one was around to support him... Develops anger towered woman and life... some may even have self-destructive behaviour... toward himself and others (family, friends, SPs...) Until it’s too late. At this phase, I don’t think it concern you malboro_man. You seem quite ok from the post. I'm just scared for the silent one that go unnoticed, especially those that refuse to admit or just want to be left alone. I'm just lucky I had family member when needed the most. Or, I will not be posting this shit right now.

TRUE STORY I HAVE WITNESSED
There was one insensitive psychiatrist woman that told a patient if you want to kill yourself go ahead...
He drowned himself the next morning.
The f*cking patient cried for help and the doc just shut him down. I was looking through the balcony and reporters were everywhere. I believe she still works there as we speak. I think such a cold person should not simply work in this field.
Depression is still a stigma. Just to prove, you don't need a PhD or any expertise to help other... just listen to what they have to say, just like the good SP do. But, family is WAY BETTER they will ALWAYS be there for you... even long after you die. You will still be in their memories and heart.

That's why when I read thread like this evolves. It makes me feel good inside. Unselfish people helping people without even knowing them. Even the rare poster came here to advise us. That's pure altruism. So beautiful! OMG, I think I need a Kleenex.
Most deny it even exists or doesn’t even know they have it (depression that is). Back then, I knew no one in Montreal (grew up in Abitibi). I’ve lost almost my friends. Missed the nature and going to the woods which I took for granted as a child. I was a lonely poor fuckup guy but if I knew outcall SPs existed I would have called them for a quickie on my hospital bed while being interned. Yes, I’m the fuckup guys. LOL! I'm not saying to replace doc with sp either. We are man that what we’re suppose to do. To survive and to replicate. Sex is good but you cannot rely on it to build a durable relationship. Again, I'm saying from my own perspective of a ?? year-old fuckup guy.
For them, you’re just another guy. Just be there for her if you think it helps her. Like many said, you no longer need to see SP. You want a long-term relationship go for the real gems. It’s clear to me that she doesn't want you to get too attached to her. She’s trying to make you realize that on your own. She doesn’t want to break your heart. I know it sound ridiculous but doing that is much easier than telling it out straight. SHE ALREADY KNOWS THAT YOU LOVE HER! Woman can sense that guys they are f*cking smart when it comes to relationship. The more you insist the more you will lose her interest.
The more you love someone... the more you will get hurt.
I WILL NOT TELL A WOMAN I LOVE HER!!!! NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER.
Unless, you want her to lose attraction for you. If you don't believe me, go ahead, try it for yourself. (Seriously don't!)
Sorry girls... but never listen to their advice. They watch too much soap opera, drama shit, get too emotional and stuff. I don't care if they find me sexist it is my male opinion. They can slap me if they want too but make sure it land on my nice cute butt.
Like the others said, the normal mature women are just waiting for you guys. Make a commitment to yourself and find them if that is what you want.
Take care brothers and I hope this post was useful (and hope that God read merb and forgive me also...
) F*ck, I need to get back to work.
