throwaway882321··on Instead of deleting account, NYT appends ‘1000’ to username and email address
Why 1000? Probably arbitrary but I can't help but wonder why 1000 instead of the faster 1111 or 1234, perhaps someone using NumPad?

As someone who suffers from depression due to previous drug abuse I can't even begin to imagine what you mean by just get on with being happy, I have a loving wife, good job and I guess what most people would call a happy life but I'm never more than two steps away from just opting out, I have been through therapy and various anti-depressants but they leave me feeling the emptiness even more profoundly.

My brain chemistry is irreversibly fucked for lack of a better word, a little strategising might just give me a little hope, although false, hope is better than the clear and obvious solution to my woes.
