Took me a while to see what was so special about the GIF, in fact.

You don't know that! For all we know, that girl could be a paraplegic now!

Eh, not the first time seeing actual people doing it

Or maybe your friend is a closet-weeaboo.

@food
inorite? It's just so stereotypical-I thought fictional- genki little japanese girl.

@GP
...

I've seen many a person jump up saying yes when something good happens.

Not seen the yatta bounce before.

What if I told you they recorded it in the first place because they thought it was so corny?

Bah, Twas the 14th yesterday. Where were the waves of derision and ridicule?

This is why fail. Heh.

Then shortly after she cut off contact. None of us have any idea why =|

Ask her out and see what happens, the best piece of advice anyone ever gave me concerning women is don't be afraid to ask her out.

The worse thing she can say is no, if she says yes then great, and if she says no you can move on with your life and stop wondering "what if..."

Either you like her, or you think/want to think you like her and conjure images of her to ground that. Or you just have nothing else occupying your mind (happened to me).
Figure out, then do or die.

Why list this as comedy fail?
It's less comedy and more romantic counseling.
Taking it seriously, I can't say where love begins and other emotions end, that's something personal to everyone. Either way, it sounds like you at least care for her. After all, you miss her, and look forward to or hope to see her again. Calling it love might be rushing it, or it might be your thing, but you might as well try to get ahold of her and aks her out or something.

Read some Rumi.

Don't Give Up. Ever. If you give up, all that effort you gave would be for nothing. And everyone would be sad even if they say they wouldn't.

Anyone can get better even if Life keeps saying FUCK YOU every. single. day.

If you look at anything long and hard enough, everything can be depressing. That's why I preferred to be a chuckling optimist. At least then, laughing was better.

If I wasn't who I was, hell, I don't even think I would have gotten past all the shit that came down on me last year.

If you give it your best, no one can say anything. So keep on trying. Do what Darples said, cause me and him know shit can be down right fucked.

Motivation is key.

I am eating the drugs. I am trying to get things done. And actually my sentiment in the post was regarding pain.

Resorting to here is a recent development. Just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas.

Talking to family would do nothing but make things worse. They are unhelpful or make me more miserable. I've already dragged down my friends enough with everything over the last decade, though this barrier of self restraint would seem to be failing. The counselor person would be a therapist...

I would have thought trying to look anywhere to help would be an indication of wanting to get better. I've yet to see any improvement with anything I have done. Things seem to happily get worse over time. Two steps forward one step back would be very nice.

Whatever form my will to live takes it seems it's not dead yet. It's just taking a constant beating.

Talk to your family, talk to your friends. Faceless Internet mob is no substitute for therapists.

EDIT:

Also, while you are on the net, go to depression self-help sites and forums, for more tips and ways to cope.

What you are doing is like the least helpful/productive thing.

Listen to this man. He knows what he is saying.

First step in getting better is wanting to get better. Second step in getting better is forcing yourself to stick to getting better. Third step in getting better is to remember that "two steps forward, one step back" is still progress, and that as long as you're progressing forward, slower progress is better than no progress.

Half the battle literally is your own motivation.

Seen about half a dozen counselors over the years. Only the most recent one is sticking with me, though over the last year and a half still not feeling any better. Two psychiatrists say that interfering or adding other treatments alongside another is not recommended.
Consultants and doctors can't seem to do anything other than offer drugs. I doubt any substance can help me. Thus the medical infrastructure here is exhausted/cannot help.

Searched for and contacted various charities in the field. No help there.

I have been at this for a few years now. Just what little there is left of me is failing.
