Good news ! I ' m now a shooting star in standard ! <| sep |> Right . Sure , that ' s reform but not the right kind of reform . Big improvement for a select few smaller improvement for everyone , imo <| sep |> I feel this way too , not always but usually every week at one time or another . I had my first major break up after 15 years last year and it brought on feelings of sadness like ive never had . I ' m bipolar too so I was scared of slipping into a depressive episode but I didn ' t . What helps and what could help for you is a councillor . That is if you always feel this way , thats not good . When I feel down somtimes I embrace it and will cry , listen to music that fits the way im feeling like Hurt by Nine Inch Nails , All I need by Radiohead , Just about any album by Placebo . Ive always felt dark or down at times but yeah the past year has been the worst for me . Try to get out and just walk for half an hour and get some air , even if you jsut go and sit somewhere like a park or by a river and get fresh air it can help . PM me if you need or want to talk or have any questions . Hang in there bro .
