Battling with depression
6 years ago
General
This week.. sucked. And I will tell you why.
Basically I missed another BLFC and it's only 150 miles from my house. I couldn't shirk off everything and go to it and even if I did..
Savannah's broken.
Yes, Savannah is broken. Let me explain. There was a cheap plastic piece in the head that warped (yes I left it out in the garage that was 100000000% my fault) and the plastic broke. So I got wonderflex and created a new piece with the help of my friend but.. there was nothing to attach it to. I was so angry. However, a friend of mine Zoren decided to take up the task so I paid him $200 (well right now $175 but I will owe him the rest when the repairs are completed) to fix it and he's working on not only repairing the head.. but making it better.
So even if I did go to BLFC I couldn't really have fun. I LOVE suiting. But.. it was also my job. Yes I am working and have been for months at this place and it's not like it's the county where I work for 5 months 29 days and that's that. No. This is private sector and I am doing a good job I am told however, sometimes when it's dead I play on my phone or watch YT (can have it on in the background.. they're fine with that) and I get a light scolding from my boss.
So with everything.. it came to a head Thursday night when I went to bed early (were talking 8:20pm folks.. early for me).
I went to bed. And I cried. I cried long and hard. Got up the next day and cried more as I saw a bunch of clips from Zootopia, Inside Out, blah blah blah.
But when I got to work I had an epiphany. I was like OK I am bummed but what can I do to turn this around? Well what do I like about cons outside of suiting?
Buying stuff.
Ok. great. So what can I buy myself that would cheer me up?
Balloons of course.
So.. with some quick thinking I coordinated a plan that was out of an episode of the A-Team. I contacted Stryps over at Anthrowear and we negotiated a price and I sent him the money via paypal. I then talked to my dear friend Tym and I sent him over to get the parcel. Mission accomplished!
At that point. I felt.. loved. I had no idea how to explain it.. but I just felt like people rallied around me to make me feeling better.
So if you do feel depressed.. just remember a line from one of my favorite movies.
