I'm halfway joking, I loved the album \*Getting Killed\*, but man reading this article the only thing I got out of it is the drummer is some rich kid who had everything handed to him, and that makes me remember a lot of the band's reach came from paying an ad agency to make it look like they had way more fans than they did (at the time).

Just sucks that so much good music is being made by people who parents didn't go to Paris for shopping trips, but the rich kids will suck all the air out of the room and take all the good opportunities.

Hey y'all just wanted to vent, maybe some outside points of view can help.

I've started taking bupropion at the end of November last year and almost immediately felt a sense of relief. Now almost 6 months in I think the drug has fully taken effect and for the most part things are pleasant, if not a little dull.

However, I have been finding myself feeling more anxious when seeing friends and I have this fear that I may be awkward and not that great to be around. Ive been staying away from drinking because Ive noticed that my mood just completely tanks the day after drinking. Its an inconsistent effect, Ive taken a shot and felt fine the next day but Ive also had a beer and felt like I was on the brink of tears the day after (two separate occasions). This however leads to a feeling of isolation that turns into a sadness, because my primary social avenue was at bars prior to taking bupropion.

All in all, my focus has been (relatively) great and I've been in a calmer head space in general however the anxiety I feel in social situations hasn't been helping with my mood and I was curious if anyone had any similar experiences or advice to combat these feelings.

For what its worth, I am a daily weed smoker, been having a hard time stopping, and I do plan on seeing a therapist.

Hey y'all, moved to Roswell from Midtown Atl last month, trying to meet people. Are there any open mic nights or jam spaces to go to? Im a drummer, just looking for people to play music with.

Just saw them at Jazz fest, been a fan for years, loved it, absolutely transcendent. Im a drummer and all around decent instrumentalist and I like to record stuff.

If anyone's interested, hit me up and lets see where it goes. It could be a lot of fun!

Does anyone know of spaces that host jam nights? Ive heard of a few and had friends that frequented but ive always been too nervous, wanna get out of that. Any tip would be appreciated.

I know this may sound silly but I feel like my life is over.

For context, Ive spent ten years abusing drugs, trying to get sober and relapsing many times. With antidepressants, Ive been able to stay off of them and I dont have the urge to do them, with the exception of weed which is becoming a bit of a boondoggle tbh.

But now Im looking at the wreckage and I see a lot of good things but I have this feeling that always comes thru no matter how good of a mood I am that my life is over. That there is no up, no breakthrough. I find that Im anxious again, that I cant look people in the eyes, I feel ugly and unlikeable. I dont see a path forward, a way to form strong bonds with others, I have absolutely no clue what to do with my life.

I just turned 29 so I think thats part of it and I know I rely way too much on weed right now and there have been some changes in my life but I just needed to share these feelings. I feel like I'm drowning.

This is a song on a four song ep I wrote last year. Wanted to share it as its one of my favorites that Ive written. Working on a new project right now, actually giving it time to breathe instead of my previous method of rushing a song over the course of a day. However, I hope yall liked this track!
