Not sure if this a good place to post this but anyways I've been having some personal problems lately and just need some help staying positive. One of the only things that is keeping my head up is spending a week in the Morro Bay area getting my Wildland S212 Cert. I'll hopefully be coming back with at least my A Fallers rating. This is what i'll be learning.
Been feeling depressed. Need some help staying positive.

When I'm feeling down I play this Monty Python joke in my head. Always works.
*Hitler behind a lectern on a giant stage in front of a sea of fanatical followers, spittle and hair flaying about*
My dog has no nose!
*The crowd yells back*
How does he smell!?!
*Hitler*
Awful!

Annnnnnnnnd this. Because I've been there. Many times. Ha
For me, whenever I am feeling depressed, the biggest thing is to get myself to do something. When I was job hunting, it was always making sure I was applying to jobs daily. In my free time, i kept myself busy with something like "read a book a week" or something like that. Just keep yourself busy with something, and you will suprise yourself when you look back at the progress you have made

Consider TEST your support group! Watching funny vids is good, but when a solid depression sets in, it's not quite enough. I find that getting some sun during these bleak times of minimal daylight helps a lot (and I should probably take some vitamin D as well [insert joke about wanting the D]).
Fantastic that you have a goal or achievement to strive for - that's probably one of the very best things you can do, as it gives you a focus and purpose to keep in mind. Think ahead - what will be the next certification you go for after the S212 cert?
Plus, feel free to jump onto Discord and just vent - no matter what you're going through, it's almost certain that another TESTie has been through similar crap and can totally relate. In fact, I'm downright amazed at how tough and resilient my fellow TEST members are - many have endured great hardships, some on a perpetual daily basis. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" is how the saying goes, but that doesn't seem to fit the resolve and constitution of my fellow TESTies - for them, the maxim is "When life gives you lemons, make the lemons your bitch."

Thank you everyone for trying to help out. Im taking it day by day and reading the forums helps a little with all the humor everyone has. I really appreciate it.
Thats the plan.

Sometimes it sucks, and there's not much anyone can do to make you feel better. But we're always here, if you need a funny cat video, a person to vent to, or just people to understand that you feel crappy. You've got the right idea with just making it day to day, it'll get better.

K m8 want to be cheered up ?
I'm French, I live in switzerland with a girlfriend who also has a second boyfriend she prefers, and believe me actually it's worse than being alone, I have a job i HATE , it's part time and I don't earn enough to live by myself, I've been actively looking for another job for the past 2 years but can't find one, maybe because I'm being to honest. I dunno.
BUT I hangout everyday I can on discord with my Test mates , I stream some shit and have fun with them, and that cheers me up . also I fap. because the internet is mainly for porn.
But if it's not enough, just look at the image thread.
