How to get through my mental chaos and become a happier person?

Post 229483 by dubious_dude deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, but this kind of post is a problem because of 1) multiple issues, and we ask that people concentrate on one problem to solve; 2) each of these has been addressed in previous questions at least once, and there's no reason to think the answers will change, and 3) this is really just sort of a mind-dump of stuff that's bugging you, and updates of old problems, and that's not what Ask Metafilter is for. -- taz

Post 229205 by ebesan deleted for the following reason: This is a GIANT question, if you have done research already maybe put this in here? Otherwise you're asking for someone to write a book for you here unless you can narrow this down pretty specifically. What is the problem you are trying to solve? -- jessamyn

Get roommate out of house for 2 hrs

Post 228868 by mermaidcafe deleted for the following reason: I get that you are in a bind here but this is feeling like a question that is (a) potentially legally fraught in ways that saying "trust me, this is my only option" can't really ameliorate and (b) asking for suggestions that may themselves be effectively pretty cruel where not outright dangerous or further legally problematic in their own right. -- cortex

Why are so many people depressed?

Post 228280 by Dansaman deleted for the following reason: If this is about MetaFilter, it needs to be in MetaTalk. Otherwise I'm not sure why some of these questions aren't ones you can do a little googling for and then ask the community what you have questions about? -- jessamyn

Post 228255 by radiosilents deleted for the following reason: This is just a night before election fight. We know nothing about your position and this topic is huge and people have been fighting about it for decades. Maybe refine and ask again, chat with one of us to make this a real question? -- jessamyn
