IMDB rating: 7.80 Plot: Set almost entirely in London, England during five frantic weeks before Christmas follows a web-like pattern of inter-related, loosely related and unrelated stories of a dozen or more various individuals with their love lives, or lack of them. The central character is the new bachelor prime minister David who cannot express his growing feelings for his new personal assistant Natalie. The prime minister’s older sister Karen slowly grows aware of her husband Harry’s flirtation with an office worker named Mia. Karen’s friend Daniel is a recently widowed writer whose 11-year-old son asks for love advice about a girl he has a crush on. Meanwhile, Jamie is another writer who leaves his girlfriend after catching her cheating on him and travels to France to write a novel where he pursues a possible romance with his non-English speaking Portuguese maid Aurelia. Also, Harry’s American secretary Sarah questions a romance she pursues with the office hunk Karl, but her personal family problems get in the way. Other secondary characters involve a photographer who pursues his best friend’s new wife Juliet; a pair of movie stand-ins, named John and Judy, who grow closer after their simulated love scenes; a libidinous chum who wants to travel to Wisconsin, USA to score with women; and a burned-out former rock star named Billy Mack who is the main connection between all stories involved. |

I'm sooo depressed. Not sure what to do =/?
I feel so hopeless. I have no friends and it feels like I don’t even have a family. All of the friends that I had, I ditched to help my parents out. I got a job and helped my parents out for about a year with bills and etc (about 75% of my check went towards them), which destroyed my social life. I believed family should come before friends. Then a couple months after my 18th birthday (which I got absolutely nothing… same with the past 5 birthdays), they ditched me (moved an hour away for a slightly above minimum wage job) and left me to live on my own. They gave me absolutely nothing. No love, no money, nothing except blankets, clothes, and the car I bought them. At first I was glad that I finally got away from all of their problems, but I soon found out that many other problems occurred. I started to slowly get more and more depressed. I felt so lonely. I didn’t have anyone to hang out with or even talk to. So on my 19th birthday I decided to visit them, but that got me even more depressed. My dad had the nerve to ask me for money ON MY BIRTHDAY and not even bother purchasing a present for me. That made me feel less than dirt. I couldn’t forgive him after that and it ruined my relationship with the rest of my family (for many other reasons).
At my job, most of my co-workers put me down. I’ve tried looking for another job (for the past month), but it’s quite hard in this economy. Even some of the customers that come in put me down. I’ve been called stupid, slow, blah blah blah, and did not stand up for myself one bit. I essentially don’t really care even though it makes me feel horrible, and all my feelings are just dwelling up inside of me. I’ve gotten to the point where I am careless with everything I do. I don’t really care anymore about anything.
In school, most of my teachers are polite to me, but this semester I had this teacher that thinks it’s funny to indirectly insult me in front of the class multiple times for never participating (I don’t participate mainly because I don’t care to participate). He may see it as funny, and doesn’t think of it as much. It made me want to stop going to his class, but I continued to go because I wanted to get through with the class and get it over with. I’m usually an "A" student with little to no effort, but this semester my grades have been dropping. I think I’m starting to lose control of my life.
To add to my depression, I met this girl. I thought she was great and all, but she started to ignore me (for no reason… I assume it was because I was taking too long to "make a move") and it got me even more depessed. I wasn’t looking for a romantic relationship with her; I just wanted a friend that I could talk and hang out with. I assume she thought I liked her (which I did, but I didn’t want to screw up a possible friendship, which I ended up doing…). Well a couple months pass and I get over her and start to feel a little better. Then she shows up at my job trying to get my number again (I’m assuming she deleted me) and my depression kicks in again, hence, why I am writing this. I’m somewhat happy because I might actually have a "friend," but I’m pretty sad because I can’t see things working out with me and her.
Another thing about me is that I tend to hide how I’m actually feeling. I’ve gotten pretty good at it. I can be in the worst mood and have the biggest smile on my face. I can’t explain myself to others. I just can’t see my life improving. Everything just keeps getting worse. I know there are many others out there that have it worse than me, and I should be thankful for what I have. It’s just that I hate living my life knowing that nothing is going to change in the future and I’m not doing anything to try to change any outcomes. I can’t do anything. It seems like I’m stuck in a tight pickle and I can’t get out of it without some aid. Well, this is getting quite long and thank you if you actually read all this. I’m just ranting, bleh.
