Yeah, so this fall/winter I've been trying to cheer up and get rid of the depression. This pretty much means trying to motivate myself to do something. It's still hard to me to set goals and try to achieve them. Still can't stress for school & my studies haven't really taken off but otherwise I'm already better. Don't have to cry myself to sleep or think depressing thoughts all the time. Still a long way to go, I understand it's going to be a long progress. Hoping to get more into social life sometime soon.
So anyways I've managed to pick up my old hobbies(mostly music) again and surprised myself again how well I still could play the guitar after a long hiatus. When I get my current schoolwork out of the way I might try to actually start recording some stuff I've written.
Also I decided I want to take Starcraft a bit more competively too, I've never been big on competing so it's kinda new to me to try to really learn shit on my own(although I taught myself music). So if you read my last blog I was in a bit of trouble with my vP and vT. Hit a huge losing streak and tried all kinds of stuff, in the end I played like 5 games as protoss, just playing around,trolling random people, even won a game with cannon rush -.-
Then I started studying what I should do differently & found the BoxeR FE build against Terran. So I went and made a goddamn Liquipedia page on it & you know what? I'm glad I did, because after that I started winning again and TvT no longer feels so bad when you have an actual plan (not concentrated on trying to kill your opponent off one base) when going in it.
Here is the page Double gas FE I know it's not the best page in Liquipedia or 100% accurate even, but it still might be helpful to someone and it was quite fun doing it too. And more importantly it's my first real contribution to the great community that is TL in the 4-5 years I've been around. If I do stuff like this I might not be such a dead weight after all and to maybe be forgiven some of the bad posts I make.
What was the purpose of this blog? Just random thoughts and also tried to motivate people a bit. We can all do something for TeamLiquid. It won't take much of your time & it's all good!

Article looks like a really good Liquipedia page but I'm just glad that you had a lot of fun making it and that you feel good about it. Of course also that you started winning again.
Congrats!

I might start using this build because TvT is a nightmare for me T_T
Congrats though!

Nice job ! Keep the spirit up :D

Good to hear you're taking a proactive approach to combating depression, most people I know who suffer from it just sit there, take anti-depressants and do fuck all basically.
Good job on the liquipedia entry, always nice to see people contributing. I would recommend to add maps to the Pros and Cons, as it would be more helpful for beginners who may not know the layout of all the maps...etc.

Keep it up! The hardest part is getting out of the spunk of being depressed then you get get on the train to being happy.
Great article too!

Nice article, definitely going to have to try that out.
Also I've been feeling semi-depressed lately (swedish winter set in mehh) so this was a good reminder of how much positive thinking and the right attitude can help. Sounds like you're well on your way!

Just did that build twice again, so much fun. Because of the good tank count I can go contain him at his natural Then it's just a matter of keeping the contain / higher viking numbers and taking all the expos in the map & adding starports and start throwing in BCs.
My TvP is still a mess though, it's like there is no good time to attack -.- If Protoss gets High Templar you should just leave, there is no unit that HT's don't rape except for tanks maybe, but tanks are trash otherwise in TvP....

After I read the build I noticed a tiny naming error: change "Orbitary Command" to "Orbital Command"
Sweet article! :D
Edit: in the pop-out box under "basic build"

make some guitar vids man! that'll get you going again

Music= food for soul? Congrats on being productive and feeling better. They go hand in hand, but it's so tough to get either when you're depressed.
