lol... I always get a bit of a giggle from that... Yep, the version I originally heard wasn't quite as neatly phrased as how I said it that's for sure... My brother in law, youngest sister's husband, first told it to me and he knows every 'poltically incorrect' version of almost every joke I reckon... he's really good for that... But as you know, these days you gotta be extra careful how you say things publically, even jokes, unless you want your head chopped off......Oh Merle, Merle, Merle, only an Aussie knows the true version of that joke. Most tactfully done. lol
It never gets old
Not wrong.. sounds typical to me.... and you need to take it as good as you give it too... I used to live part time in dirt road remote desert country in Opal territory west NSW near the SA border and boy was that a culture all in itself...His first words after a decade to me were literally.
Ray you Fat Bastard, F$%K your in a good paddock.
Believe i or not. that, here in OZ that is a really good welcome.
Merle, tell me I am wrong
I mean, If I stop watching the news, I become uninformed, Yet if I do watch the new, I can never be happy because of all the sadness and depression
That's one of the reasons I talk to people in very limited amounts. There is so much sadness and depression in the world. I know other people are depressed and sad. I have a friend right now who is deeply depressed and sad.Probably why there is all this depression and anxiety in the world today being created by the media.

Have you guys ever had a friend who was very depressed, and you talk to them, But you speak to them while they are depressed and everything is all darkness and doom and gloom and such? I get depressed too, Nothing makes one's depression worse than listening to someone else's problems and pain. Sure I want to be there as a friend. But When you are already depressed, how is hurting more with someone else even better? Sometimes, one just has to lay their burdens down. That doesn't mean stop caring. But Letting go of whats bothering you. It works for me, But hell. I'm a hermit isolationist. What the hell do I know about other peoples problems? :/
I've dealt with depression a lot, I've even tried to help a lot of people, you can't imagine, People flock to me, It's like a vibe I give off or something. Hey. That guy's got it figured out, I'll ask him, I've learned that with every person, Depression is a different thing. It's complicated and there is no right answer. What works for one person, May only ever work for that one person, And any advice a person can give to a depressed individual is probably the wrong advice.Depression is a bad state to be in , not very nice at all. Once the Black Dog gets hold of you its very hard to make it let go. I been depressed , lasted 3 years, problem with me is I got used to it I treated it as a normal thing to be . It is a very dark place to be . Dumping problems on others can depress them also I found since I have kept the darkness at bay for awhile that talking to other people who are also depressed I can relate to them more easily having been there and done that sort of thing. One is never really free of it , it still lurks in your psyche , waiting and listening.

The only thing I can do is relate to others how I deal with things. Ultimately someone can never know how much another person hurts. It seems like Depression, is like a mental plague and it can spread from person to person or manifest at random, But it's a very high functioning illness with no clear treatment that works universally well for large numbers.
The best advice one can possibly give another depressed person is, Seek professional help, Any other advice one can give is most likely nonapplicable
Spending time with a professional therapist helps. Pretty expensive their charges are enough to give you depression. A lot of people just suffer. Its a very complicated thing no one is the same . I never advise people I just listen most of the time sort of a sympathetic ear. I wonder sometimes don't I have enough issues without listening to others problems but you feel the rat not listening to them. Which I do , its usually friends and family with me so it reciprocates as I am the main with the problems . Or was.
I hit major depression and anxiety once... the paperwork was filed in my divorce... I couldn't recognize myself... where did all that come from?
Thing is we got along well, worked well together, pretty awesome... but truth is, I just wasnt what she wanted... I never lived up to her ideals... I wanted her to go... I knew she wasnt happy, and I was tired of failing to live up to her imaginary perfect man. The depression made no sense.... and I had terrible headaches... I went to the doctor, and they found a few problems... my blood pressure was way up... they fixed that... then they put me on a powerful medication six months prescription that numbed my emotions down to less than 10%.
I could function again, but I still wasnt myself... after six months, I took a taper packet, and stopped everything but the blood pressure meds after that... met someone else, at a time when I just KNEW I would never be married again.., so we stayed friends, didnt date, but would meet at the theater or for ice cream....
Well, that was several years ago, and I never really had to deal with that strangeness again... but I will never forget what it was like to be looking in the mirror, thinking "That isnt ME!"
I am pretty sure, the doctors saved my life.
Personally, I don't think something inanimate like new media can cause actual depression and anxiety...Probably why there is all this depression and anxiety in the world today being created by the media. Not much in the way of good news its just a daily troll by the news organisations trying to find worse and worse stories to put up .
I'm very emotional about things. When I learned Isis was harming children a couple years ago, I was enraged. It literally affected greatly.Personally, I don't think something inanimate like new media can cause actual depression and anxiety...
More like it depends how any individual person reacts emotionally to news articles is what causes some people to get that way in that some people take it to heart and allow news story to affect them emotionally more than others do... usually solved through avoiding reading the news...
My thing is, I originally supported Trump, But he wanted to obliterate all of NK. He didn't think of the innocent people under un's dictation. This is not a man fit to be in charge I mean, There I said it.I know when Trump is shown on the world news and he says he is going to " Totally destroy North Korea " people will not have a good reaction to that. Being where I live I don't really care what they do but people near there are going to be packing it big time.
