Have a little GA. It lasts 1 week, so it probably won't end up like my other GA and it'll actually be in the first post.

Well better late than never, I've been meaning to make a GA for awhile now.
I lived with depression for a long time and have two friends who commited suicide because of it when I was younger.
Nobody who is dealing with depression should be alone, having someone to talk too can be the difference
between surviving or not, so if someone ever need to talk, I'm always available to chat or just listen...
Thank you DesertMouse for creating this great thread ❤️

There's some good bits, but mostly it's motivational stuff like that "you're in control" in the second pic, which is actually not really good advice and may not be true at all.
Sometimes we really don't have any control over what has happened or is going happen to us and being able to embrace the fact, while maintaining a clear vision and peace of mind, not losing hope that things can get and will get better, is one of the most useful thing one person can learn.
I'm never quite sure how useful motivational stuff really is. While it's good to inspire people and drive them and make them feel bitter, too often that stuff is actually just paralogisms meant to trigger that warm fuzzy feeling thing and a resolution YES I CAN!
Outside of negligible setbacks, YES I CAN is detrimental because it sidesteps that analytical process through which the reasons why someone is feeling some way, or has come to find themselves in a certain predicament, are accurately pinpointed, which is about the first thing one needs to know for solutions to be found or at least steps in the right direction be taken. YES I CAN has a way to turn, too often, into delusional, wishful thinking.

The "you're in control" phrase is more about your attitude, the way you chose to react to each situation is yours alone. The first part of the post is amazing though, that's exactly one of the main things that kept my depression away, I started to realize all the good things in my life that I took for granted or didn't even notice before, now I'm just trying to stop complaining at everything and get upset in 2 seconds at dumb stuff such as traffic.
About that "yes I can" attitude, it's aimed to not give up before even starting, to not block your mind with negative thoughts before even trying. Of course that every extreme is bad, if you take as you can do absolutely everything easily then yeah, it's just wishful thinking. But I have been surprised of the amount of things I managed to accomplish by just setting up a good attitude and a some effort, and I have a lot more that I need to change, but I'm going one step at a time at my own pace, I just have to watch out to not get stuck on my progress altogether.
In the end the best thing you can do about other people's advice is to appropriate what works for you. Use whatever rows your boat :]

Don't forget YES I CAN, I AM SO AWESOME, I CAN DO IT, NOTHING CAN GO WRONG is the high phase of bipolar. It's very important to set manageable goals, otherwise it's just setting up a cycle of perpetual failure.

Agreed, manageable goals one step at a time, better to do 1 thing right than 2 half-assed!

POSITIVE VIBE GIVEAWAYS
My last train was a success! Unfortunately, I can't do another one this week since there's no Happy Hour yet for IndieGala's Friday bundle. To compensate, have a non-bundled game from me! Enjoy and remember to stay positive! :D

After going through a recent event where someone very close to me was feeling depressed and suicidal, thought I'd make some GA's to get a point across. If you are feeling this way, there is help, and people out there want to help. You're not alone and you are cared about. If you are not of this state of mind, realize that you could be the difference between them getting help, or doing the unthinkable. You will most likely never know how, who, or how many you helped, but that should make no difference. It just matters that you were there. Go and be the best you that you can be. If anyone out there needs someone, i accept all steam friend requests and will reply as soon as i see your message.
Try and keep the thread alive for a while so that more can see it. May i suggest pictures of cats? Anything really.
I'm going to attempt to update this thread once again once a week, between Friday and Sundays.

EDIT: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/0evEo/an-update-and-moving-forward
EDIT: If you choose to bump with a GA, especially a higher level, and wish for it to be featured on the active GA portion, I suggest a week or longer running length. It can sometimes be a number of days before I can edit this to add new GA's. It's also super helpful if it's in
formatI'm switching to a table format. Not required, but it would let me update the main post more, as it currently takes a while, which means less updates.
EDIT: Total number of GA's added to thread as of last update- 1687+
Note that this is likely much higher. From pages 54-94, I assume all trains to contain only 3 games, while they are likely much higher in number.
GA log of past record
I'm no longer going to keep a detailed log of past GA's. It was simply too much work.
The following, continuously updated, users are the real VIP's of this thread.
