My Element is Honesty. My Sin is Envy.
Sigh.
When I'm beating myself up for not finishing my multiple, high-quality, novel-length stories which I've submitted to this community free of charge and was never under any obligation to start in the first place...
...maybe I need to re-think my life.
Sigh.
Depression sucks.

Go outside. Do some physical things.
Eat chocolate. Ban yourself from the computer for a couple of days.

Do something fun, with friends!
God, when I tell others the advice I got, I feel a bit dirty. Hang in there. Those ideas are good, by the way.

Pretty much this. I go for runs, then have a shower, then see if I can go out and party.
just take a break and have fun
I have experienced a bit of both, though not in that combination ( I feel obliged to finish a story if the readers praised it - I don't want to dissapoint them. And any symptoms resembling depression are usually caused by either health issues, dealing with my mortality or generall loss of faith in the human race)
I too can recommend physical activity (if you live in a safe neighbourhood, late evenings are good for walks)
I do not recommend chocolate - it helps, but gets you fat, which can be depressing in itself. (if you have to go for sweets, try ice cream instead)
You can also remember that I publish about a chapter every six months. Many people do. You really publish a lot and have nothing to beat yourself over as far as productivity is concerned
2335042 2335174 2335535 I work at a golf course. I do outdoorsy things eight hours a day and every other weekend. Also, of the only two people I know in this city, one recently had a baby and the other hates me.
But I do eat plenty of chocolate.
It does.
You'll know as well as I do not to make any big decisions and to take it easy when you're down. I know I'm not around much, but I do care. And I know first hand how trite it can sound when someone on the outside tells you that things get better, but it's still one of the easiest things to forget. So things will get better. You will get better.
Take care of yourself man.
Hang in there, man. Heck, PM if you just want a simple talk.
Above all, just get well, be it through taking a break or some others means. I hate seeing others like this.
2336348 Any chance for a physical activity that is not work-related? something you could do for your own enjoyment?
Dude, I know how you feel... Even if I'm not as popular and practically no pony knows me I still feel the obligation to finish what I started. I think the best way to deal with that is to set you're self a plan.
For instants you can plan a chapter or few of one story every Saturday and then when that's done you can write half or all of that chapter on Wednesday!
But if it's still to stressful, take a break... I guess...
2347484 I just realised how dumb I am! You can't just write in a couple days so.. Just ignore me! As always!
