i will soon lose my job because someone reported me for harassment. while i never tried to hurt them, and only asked them how they were doing once per month because they seemed tired and worried... and yet i really do not want to fight it and want to let them kick me out. i dunno what is wrong with me, i fear that if i defend myself it will have adverse effects on them, and i think i'd rather lose everything than hurt them again.
i am a complete nutjob or is it normal to feel that way?

i mean if it really is as simple as you say, it'd be bat**** to just accept that and equally as ridiculous to be concerned for them when you're simply defending yourself. although i have a feeling that if it was enough to be reported for harassment, there might be some more to this story

well we were good friend, i went into deep suicidal depression with covid lockdowns, they helped me get back up and then after i made a suicide joke and they stopped talking al together making me rather worried about them, and trying to fix things, prompting the asking how they felt every once in a while.
don't get me wrong, i am the one who hurt them most, kinda why i did not want to defend myself either.
and when i was sick i may have alluded that i loved them... so maybe that before a suicide joke did not help...

i went into deep suicidal depression with covid lockdowns

then after i made a suicide joke

When people make light of something that was recently deadly serious (no pun) it is profoundly disturbing to me.

At best it is disingenuous and insensitive, but generally I am left with the distinct impression that the crisis is still festering underground and is more likely to return than not.

Mistakes and danger are opportunities for learning and growth, and the best thing to do for yourself (and those around you) is to demonstrate that you fully understood the situation and are making efforts to ensure that it won't occur again.

That's blatantly against Capitalism.

Heart Attack is our #1 killer.  We know how to have 0 heart attacks, they figured it out in the 70s. The Pritikins Diet, that no one's heard of.

But 70% of large Hospital Income is from Heart related surgeries. People like pizza, and Hospitals like money. Capitalist Collusion.

Why Collusion, SUBSIDIES + Reglator capture. Even if you don't eat fish or beef or eggs or chicken or pork, you still pay for it in the form of taxes.

frankly taking it lightly helps a lot, when you are in the thick of it, at least it helped me, and yeah it was insensitive for sure, i see it now, did not back then. and now that i have the missing pieces i understand but i only now got them, after 7 months of not knowing and doing the wrong things because i was worried.

well that work when you do want to not be guilty, although the jury saw trough the fact that i was working hard against myself and i had to go against the person... i hate it but they would not let me... even had to tell them when there was a lie in the declaration...

all communities have those and usually those are either the newer peoples or very old members. forums like GH tend to scare the younger and immature audience, and the community in itself is a bit too old to have the old gatekeepers, so forums seems like a sweet-spot, or at least that is my reading of it, i know i am useless at using reddit... well pretty much any social medias

Life insurance policies in my state have a 2 year clause for suicide, meaning it does not take effect for 2 years if the cause of death is suicidal.
That is such a long time to wait, but then again it won't really matter if you're already dead.

i am the only one seeing that as an incentive for the bank to try and make you suicide? if you do in the 2 years they keep the money, or am i reading that wrong? for some reason i have not trouble imagining a banker try that if it is the case...

If you're willing to invest money so someone gets rich when you die surely they're close enough to not put through dealing with a suicide (been there, the guilt at not preventing it is not fun) so what does it matter?

the eat veggies part is not going to do much, but picking up a new hobby if you are not too far gone already will help, not that i talk of experience of anything.
and also one thing that helps me a lot is to try and make peoples happier, i spend way too much money in gifts and cake supplies but then it prevent me from killing myself, so good overall, i think. although the downside of that is when i hurt someone it really hurts me inside, so i try to be the best i can.
oh and some doctors may be *******s, mine told me i could never get out of it without taking hard addictive drugs, that i refused to take because addictive.

yeah not got the budget for that, with the buying a house and caring for 4 random stray cats that came with the house :) and i already spent 1800 euros on gifts at xmas and one of my coworker really did not appreciate the gifts (i think she may have thought i wanted something back, it was a wrong assuption)... so i kinda reduced the amounts since then. and man you are a tiny bit far too :)

I am already trying to combat it.
Didn't pick up a new hobby but I have tons of videogames to play when the weather sucks. When the weather is good I try to be outside as much as possible. Luckily the wife loves the outside too, so we just chill on the terrasse.
I do need to excercise more though, I know that. So hopefully going to be taking some walks.

good thing for you, you have someone who is likely to support and help you, that is important, and she is unlikely to get scared of you if you give her love and cakes
and when it comes to exercise you can also do part of it indoor when it rains, during lock-down i did a lot of push ups and weight lifting with 5L water jugs for example.

Good. The word "antidepressant" is a misnomer. They should only be taken while undergoing therapy with a psychiatrist.
What the drug actually does besides mellowing your ups and downs is to make your mind more malleable, to make it easier for the psychiatrist to help you acquire better thought-patterns. But the drug could also make it easier to acquire destructive thought-patterns instead if there is nobody there to guide your way.

Then there's the month of use before it starts showing a positive effect, during which the drug induces a clinical depression which could be worse than what you had to begin with. There have been many cases of suicide within that first month.
Therefore, "antidepressants" without therapy often do more harm than good.

When the weather is good I try to be outside as much as possible. Luckily the wife loves the outside too, so we just chill on the terrasse.

Sounds good. Companionship, mild exercise and experiencing nature are natural antidepressants that do work!

Got severe abdominal pain last night so I went to the emergency room. Got pain relief and diagnosed with having pushed out a gallstone.

What's bothering me the most though is that they had put me next to coughing COVID patients ...
So ... now I'm preparing for some self-isolation (even more than "usual") during which I'm waiting to either getting ill, or for finding myself all-clear in a couple of weeks.

Edit: It's been two weeks without symptoms, so it seems that I would have got off safe. In 1% of cases, symptoms have shown up later though.

TLDR - scalpers, graphics cards, NVIDIA.

I've been using the same GPU in my rig since 2016, a GTX 1080. I'm aiming for the RTX 3080. Just want ONE GPU man!

Happened to be up last night and refreshed the Microcenter website, and they had restocked THREE RTX 3080's.... Why only 3??? I didn't check the Radeon cards.... Not my thing.

So by 4AM when I finally got to Microcenter, there were no less than 5 or 6 people camped out on the sidewalk in a line, chilling in beach chairs! (there were like 10 cars parked) They open at 10AM! It's insane. I saw the crowd and just left. Half of those dudes have to be scalpers 

Anyways, the biggest thing that bothers me is how much people are willing to pay for the upgrade... Please don't buy cards for over double MSRP... Cards that came out in September 2020.... Please tell me it's going to get back to normal before 2022
