My loud jam days at home are also waining. Gonna have to go to Grrfaces more often to get loud

I think it all depends on how you measure success. I am the father of 3 awesome kids and have been married for 10 going on 11 years. I consider that successful. Not all success has to be financial. Your friend seems like he may not understand that, which is sad.
"I do not have the ability to think rationally 90% of the time and I also change my mind at the drop of a hat".
Where the hell does a 30 year old who's a strict rationalist but also enjoys occult themes, loves heavy and weird music, but doesn't like to drink very much or smoke anything and would rather exercise go to meet new people? I usually enjoy my little basement studio-cave of solitude but I'm getting a little lonesome. A woman would be nice, but the above-stated descriptors
(don't say coffee shop. All I have to say to coffee shop is "hipsters and too-young college girls." But I could be wrong. Maybe) Sigh. Whatever. I'm going to bury myself in drum programming and finger cramps.
I'm on day 3 of a full body anxiety/depression shut down. My wife told me she's sick of dealing with a zombie. I'm off to the psych tomorrow. I should be knocking days off my prac....bit that bought this all on to begin with. I was trying to change my life to avoid burning out. Turns out it was too late.
WWPD?

He definitely doesn't get that. It is really heartbreaking to me because we had such similar childhoods: cold, distant stepdads in the Army, periods of extreme poverty as children, college dropouts. We even ended up in similar places: married with children, stable but unexciting jobs. He just has this chip on his shoulder about earning everything he has and people who are in a tough place being so because they don't work harder. I know that it is a combination of luck, creating relationships with people, and being loved that I am in my current career and have a family. Hell, I likely wouldn't even be alive, as my mental illness would have taken me.
My force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact

If you ever figure it out, let me know. I'm a 35 year old of similar, but different, leanings, and it is very difficult to meet new people. I love my Group therapy friends, but I don't want them to be part of my day to day life. I need friends who don't have my disorder.

I just had this image of all of us on a pirate ship swinging across to another pirate ship on ropes with cutlasses drawn. I'm not exactly sure where that came from.
