Got myself an anti-depressant
I've still been dealing depression pretty regularly, with me having an episode last week that really messed me up mentally speaking. I stopped caring about things, I started to think I had no reason to live, and I started wondering what my reason for existing is.
But, I went back to my last post, and started remembering all the kind words people said to me and the ones who messaged me (which, especially I want to thank for reaching out when I needed it). And it helped a lot.
Now, today, after some bouncing back and forth to make it happen, I can share with you guys something I'm really happy to have. I used to ride a few years ago but stopped due to moving and never getting back into it, until now that is. So today, I can present my new 2017 Honda Rebel. I got to smile on the way home, a smile I haven't felt in a long time.
So to everyone out there who had helped me, thank you for the help. I'm not 100% better, and I've still had some issues, but at least I can start doing something to help me get away from it all.
Edit: I guess I'm not supposed to do this, but wow. I went to browse some Imgur before bed and saw I had a lot of love and responses from you guys! So I just wanted to say thanks and you guys rock! That's a nice way to end my day :)
Also, send me cool places to ride in the Sacramento area! I don't have a lot of free time, but I'd love to check some places out! And/or send cute animals. Doggos, kittehs, horses, birds, you name it. All animal friends are precious!

Take it once a day

I found myself very alone this past spring. Instead of falling into drink I learned to ride and bought an 08 Rebel. Best decision of my life

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy a motorcycle, which is the same thing. Enjoy the ride @OP

Nice Ride
zoan427
WOW everyone! You guys just made my day. I was about to go to bed, so I will try to finish reaching everyone tomorrow! Thanks a bunch! :)

My bike majorly helped dealing with my divorce, took me from being a hermit to getting out and meeting people and experiencing the world.
ravadosh
it's after the ride I get depressed again remembering myself how the loan is breaking my back and there was never a garage to be trusted :(
NickFil
Get on it and ride away u’ll forget all your troubles
CmdrPuffler
Beware the call of the void. Be safe!
yarrBooty24
Rebel came a long way. She's purdy. Enjoy and be safe. As for the depression: you made it out the other side before and you can do it again.
DarkWolfslc
She's beautiful

Thank you!

Thats a good looking bike.

That's exactly what I would like to do for like years. However, when I look at all the paper and money you should do to take a motorbike 1/2
dendere
driving license where I live, I just feel more depressed and helpless. I would go for a Yamaha xv950r or a Kawa Vulcan S.
nextgenpants
300 or 500, @OP?
zoan427
500, seemed better for my daily commute.
nextgenpants
Good deal. I've been looking at one for a starter bike, but I have my eye on the CB300F as well, not sure where to go first heh.

To all motorcyclists - please please wear a helmet and other protective gear.
zoan427
Absolutely!

I bought a Harley when my fiancee left me. Worked wonders.
zoan427
I'm a man of divorce myself, haven't filled the gap until now! Hoping it also works wonders :)
Hellokenobi
Ride safe op
zoan427
I definitely do my best to ride as safe as possible! :)
CQemt
I bought my li'l 250 from a woman who dubbed it Prozac 1. I'm keeping the name.

Just don't make loud noises in the neighbourhood like an asshole
zoan427
I'm very noise sensitive towards others, I don't even like when my roommates play loud music at night haha.
Justalobstercowboy
Wish you well. But when I was depressed used to buy things to make me feel better, not really a good thing. See s doctor
zoan427
I still see a doctor, so I have a few things that help, but now I have something else that helps. Thank you for your wishes!

Fresh air injection via face is a cure-all.

Although the weather is changing, the ride up to Humboldt is really nice

Just tucked away my anti-depressant for the winter, this post made me depressed :(
zoan427
I'm very sorry! But, you'll get your baby again soon!
rianocerous
it's my first year with mine. I'm going to try and milk out the season as much as I can.
JustSittingHerePooping
Good on you, @OP! The ride looks insane. Keep it up! My solution for depression was getting a job, an apartment and a girlfriend.
JustSittingHerePooping
(The past year - after uni - Ive been jobless, broke, gf dumped me and I had to move in with my parents. Oh, and my car had to be put down.)
zoan427
Well, I got a job a while back, it definitely helps. Still have met someone since the divorce, but still hoping. Having to move soon as well
zoan427
But hey, one step at a time right? Also love the name :P
JustSittingHerePooping
One step at a time! And getting yourself an awesome ride is definitely a right step. Keep it up!
bhikku
the new rebels look super interesting. The old ones rode like shit and i hated them more than just about anything.
thedarksideoftheforce
Thats the bike im thinking about getting!!
zoan427
I hope you are able to get yours soon! Keep me posted!
straberrymilk
same been wanting a bike for a couple of years the only thing holding me back i live in apt and dont wanna leave it outside itll get stolen
zoan427
Ya I have to move soon and I'm avoiding apartments for that reason. There are definitely things you can do to try to prevent it, but risky!
zoan427
I got the 500cc mainly for the daily commute. It's nice for the distance I go and I'm still a young (in terms of time riding) rider! 1/2
DustyMcKnuckles
Good looking ride @OP, I love the color scheme! She got a name yet? What are the specs?
zoan427
Got busy today, but couple names off the top of my head: Rebelia and Strife, still thinking of more haha
ThePerfectTemperatureForHeresy
Specs: fun, with good mid range giggles and great smile economy
zoan427
Essentially: yes :) ^
zoan427
Haven't decided on a name, but as soon as It comes to me I'll let you know! I'll also send specs tomorrow :)
KiltedinSeattle
I vote for calling it "Zoloft", or "Zoe" for short.
zoan427
My dogs name is Zoo, she was zoey from the person that found her but I liked Zoo more haha I thought of a couple today, still not sure what

I bought a Yamaha R6S last month. Getting a bike works wonders.
NapoleonDynOmite
I always thought they should classify Viagra as an antidepressant. Imagine going from not be able to fuck to super boner.
Provozario
What's the "R6S"? I got the 2017 R6 in black????
BoomAech
It's the older 04-06 R6 styling
HenryFondle
FZ6 after I lost my job. Did a cross country ride, 2 months and 10,000 miles couch surfing.
zoan427
I don't know if I'll ever have time for a cross country ride, but those sound amazing! Hopefully one day I'll have a schedule that will work
HenryFondle
I did PCH from Tijuana to Whistler BC, basically. Best ride was Death Valley to Yosemite. Ave of Giants was also terrific.
KiltedinSeattle
There's nothing like a good ride to make you focus on what's in front of you & ignore other stuff. Just dress for the slide, @OP!
firstnationhombre
And never dress for work or shopping
zoan427
I make sure to wear all my gear don't worry. I'm not looking to get caught without it!
NoOfficerImJustNotSober
Yeah ignore whats infront of you especially on the road it's all just speed bumps any way
AgentLinch
I don't know about you but speed bumps fuck up motorcycles pretty bad.
zoan427
Don't worry, I'm always dressing for the ride. I'm no pro and I don't like to risk things if I can help it! :)

ATGATT !
PunjabiMacgyver
Also in SAC - head to granite bay, dawg.
zoan427
I'll have to check that out, thanks!
PunjabiMacgyver
very windy roads there. also, if you head to some bike shops, they'll tell you where the locals ride for fun ;)
TurkeySlapa
No, what’s they’re saying is dress for the slide ie. Dress as though you are going to come off. As one who has, dress for the slide ????
zoan427
Ya I should've said slide, I dress in case I come off in way that would hurt or mess me up!
TurkeySlapa
Good plan ???? Have fun out there. Bikes are awesome!
