BloodFighter: When I have time to debug. Because that's mainly what's left at this point. I've been struggling with depression and actually have had some work to do, so there's been little time.

I feel you. I struggled with depression a while back, and you always feel like crap; just remember that you are perfect and awesome and if you try your best at things you will always get a positive outcome. (I'm no psychiatrist but it's what helped me - maybe it'll help you?) Take your time because we will forgive and not forget. Your contributions are always thought of in the highest and you always try your best so you deserve a break. Get well soon.
 
Thank you, that means a lot.
I have a long history of depression, and I know it is potentially lethal (Robin Williams), so I've taught myself not to exhaust myself when I'm feeling down.
I'm also aware of the cause, which is long standing social anxiety, so that allows me to control it a little bit. :)

It can be lethal - yes. In serious scenarios you could still leave yourself injured or scarred for life because of it, and it's a horrible feeling.
It's good that you've learned to control it. It takes a bit of practice but once you've controlled it, the depression doesn't feel as heavy - but it still looms there and it's still a terrible feeling. I hope you get well soon.
 
Hey, i really don't know how a depression feels, but remember that everyone is awesome. You are building on a great project and you are bringing people in contact with each other online, that is somrthing to be proud off!

I know i must'nt say this, but i hope everything will be okay, i barely know you, but it felt like i had to say this. :s
(This feels weird)

I don't know how to respond to "hope you get well soon". Unless I manage to treat the underlying cause, I will never be "cured".
Many years of trying and failing have allowed me to get "better" at not being nervous around people, but in my case I know that the social anxiety stems from Aspergers.
It is a rare neurological disorder that makes me unable to pick up on certain social cues, and has led to years and years of social paranoia, anxiety and ultimately depression. So unfortunately the only way for me to completely get "rid of" the symptoms would be to announce to everyone I meet that I have it, but that would cause them to not treat me as a normal person, so instead I've opted to suffer (mostly) in silence.

Well, I hope you still feel better soon. Have you tried getting therapy or not? It might help a little. You are bringing us all together into one place to reach one common goal and you are doing a great job, and I must congratulate you for that because that is a rare skill to have. You are a unique person and you are a very nice person. Once again, make sure you take some time off to relieve stress if necessary and I hope you feel better soon.
 
LetsRaceBwoi: I'm currently getting therapy. And thank you. I keep trying my best to pull everyone and everything together. It can be hard with the drama going on, but I try.

It's good that you are getting therapy and you are trying your best because you will feel better soon if you do that.
 
I hope you've found a really good therapist. It's hard to find one AFAIK, and if it's a terrible one, that might actually make things worse.

Keep up the good work Afr0~!
 
Hm... In Norway you're just sort of assigned one (unless you're paying blood money for private ones, which I'm glad I don't have to).
Right now he's just trying to help me build my self confidence, which has been virtually non existing. Unfortunately I'm going to just have to deal with the depression, because it stems from social anxiety which stems from my limited ability to pick up on social cues which can't be fixed. :/
