9: Danny &/vs. Andrea

[Dean from Australia]

I think you might have been really drunk Danny, which is why you didn't remember. You said a lot of stuff which focused mainly on this girl back in OK but the feeling I got from the whole episode was something deeper.

What drives your depression? Is it just that you can't get a job? Is it because you were touched up as a child? Is it that this girl back home really messed with your emotions? Is it because you're afraid of not being depressed anymore?

80% of this depression is bullshit in the sense that it's borne out of stuff that is not worth holding on to. Case in point - this girl back home. She's fucking with you Danny and you're buying into it. Don't give it time to work its way out of your mind - fucking cut it of it at the neck and eject it from conscious thought.

The other 20% is the depression borne out of a real, organic chemical change that needs to be addressed either chemically or with therapy. You may never fully jettison this part but you will come to manage it.

The scary thing is, after a while Danny, depression becomes a seductive blanket that we actually come to depend on - as though we are scared to be without it.

That's the most dangerous part about all this.

Oh and Keith - Tapatalk is the shit.

Hey everyone, the prospect of this episode was one of the driving forces in getting me up and getting the VIP membership again. Needless to say so far I have not been disappointed. As soon as Andrea got in the room, this turned into an absolutely amazing show.

Danny 'Friendzone' Hatch reminds me of a friendship that I had a couple of years back. I realise now that I'm older than Danny and that means I can act wiser. Basically we were best friends (defined as that from both sides) and one day I just had to go NOPE and just say 'hey, I just can't be friends with you anymore because I want to be with you so bad that I can't pretend that it's okay anymore'.

It could be the same with Danny. In a way, I sympathise with him, and obviously his harsh self depreciating and insulting of everyone around him while hammered is his way of letting of steam. I don't think the show gave him a favourable view with anyone, but all I'm saying is I sympathise, dude. But if it hurts so bad, it's not going to hurt as much to let her go.

As a sidenote, it's good to be back on the forums!

This ^^^

I lack Dean's tact and his eloquence, but I would have liked to say something like that.

Instead, I'll just say that Danny sounded like a fucking cry baby bitch who's wrapped up in feeling sorry for himself, and turns into a weepy hurtful cunt when he's had a few drinks. Andrea's probably not helping him by indulging his bullshit, but hey, she's got her own issues.

Fucking awesome ep, though. And a great ending.

Noice get m8. Anyone who can remember the 1st 40 secs of that marathon deserves a free bj.

It shows how fucking clueless the cunt is about what sort of a state he's in.

Agreed.

The delusion that creativity can only come from life crippling depression is the worst form of writer's block a creative person can encounter.
