  • It seems like you are just shooting down every idea that people try to provide. Based on your responses, I’m going to assume you’re in your late teens or early 20s

    I was in the military, and you absolutely should not enlist if you’re doing it for some sort of prestige or bragging rights. What the military is really great for is teaching young people a lot of skills, very quickly. But its not without its shortcomings. If you have depression, I would say look into something else because it is not an easy career field and it will likely take a major toll on your mental health, just like it does for everyone.

    What I would suggest is using your situation to learn. You said you’re not in any sort of immediate danger, so it just sounds like your personality doesn’t mesh well with the others in your household. Unfortunately, that is a part of life. You’ll always meet people that you don’t see eye to eye with. Learning how to deal with those people and interact with them is an important life skill. Tough it out for a while, get some sort of education in a trade that interests you, and then move out. I have a friend who is in his mid 30s that has had pretty bad social anxiety and general anxiety his whole life. He just started a trade school program, and he’ll be done within a year. If you’re serious about getting out, work a shitty part time job, live at home for a while, and work on a trade school program. The time spent at school and work means you won’t be at home much, and before you know it, you’ll be working a much more fulfilling job.

    Most states have some sort of workforce development program to help you find a career. Pennsylvania has a program called CareerLink. I would highly suggest starting there.

    If you have diagnosed depression/anxiety, you may even qualify for a special program to assist individuals with disabilities.

    You aren’t going to completely change your entire life over night. Have a little patience, put in the work, and it will pay off before you know it. Good luck.



  • I was watching 9News with Kyle Clark all night on election night. At no point was she within 1 percentage point on election night. She was down like 3% all night. Not sure how she thinks this is a weird trend, considering now more of the more likely to be Republican voters are trickling in from voting on election day in person.

    At one point, the local correspondant at her election night campaign event pointed out how much fun she was having for someone that was losing the election. She was slamming Busch Lights all night and swing dancing with her boyfriend.

    Kyle Clark pulled out a zinger and said "I’m not sure if I’m really allowed to say this on local news, but we had a saying in college: Boozin’, even if we’re losin’ " 😂
