I Should Be Slapped

I can't make myself do the things I need to do.

After trying and not getting any response, it is very hard to get back on track, it's quite hard to do anything anymore b/c I spend my time saying I'm going to do it, but then while I'm trying to motivate myself I'm also avoiding everything else that people do on a regular basis like cook, clean, eat. Yeah, I suck, I should be slapped.

 

Mera, I think you and I are very very similar. I always know just what you mean. So I guess I should be slapped too.

 

*slaps mera*

now get the f*ck up and do something

 

Nobody should be slapping anybody. Life is tough at times but just remember, the situation can only improve from here. Peace and over and out, Love Bug!

 

I prefer spankings to slappings.

 

Oh man! For the last 2 weeks I have been feeling the EXACT SAME WAY. I think for me it's a combination of being physically sick (just a little) and depressed (a lot). I just can't motivate myself to do anything right now, even stuff I enjoyed doing before. I just wanna sit on my butt but I don't wanna do NOTHING.

You're not alone. I am sure at some point we'll reach a point where we say "That's it" and actually GET UP. LOL

 

i go through waves of this. one time period i am taking on the world. another time period i cant get off the couch.

 

Gee, if I didn't know better I would swear y'all are describing real life.

 

Sounds like you and Christine are both suffering from a bit of clinical depression, Mera. It could be the changing season. If it persists, you ought to mention it to your doctor. I do hope you both feel better soon.

 

Ya think?

I've also been really bitchy lately.
And generally unpleasant.

 

i need a slap too. just stay away from the nose please


i actually made a list of things to do today. so far nothings done and it doesnt look like theyre gonna get done

 

You're probably right about that, as much as I don't wanna think about the possibility.

I've made lists of things to do each day since last week and I've done probably 3 of those things total out of 10 days not including today, in which I've done nothing. Well I did check my email.

 

I totally hear ya Mera, bitchy and unpleasant describes my mood lately too. I swear that depression runs in my family. My brother is severely depressed, and so am I, and so is my mom. It must be something in our genes.

 

Yeah, I have a big paper and two finals this week, and I just can't seem to work on them. Let's encourage each other to get off our lazy, depressed asses.

 

yeah, you definately HAVE to get on that. How far along are you w/ your paper? I had finals two weeks ago, I'm supposed to be registering for the fall and things like that I have a little more time than you do. Have you studied for your finals? When are they?

 

I haven't even started on my paper actually. I haven't even decided which topic to write about. It is for philosophy and my choices are: Utilitarianism, Abortion, Animal Rights or Free Will. I think I am going to go with Animal Rights, I have the most to say on that and I am just tired of Free Will.

I have a Religions final tomorrow, but it will be really easy. Then on Friday I will have one on Engineering. Oh well, soon it will be over and then I can stop having my pity party

 

You think not finishing term papers is bad?! Try not finishing college! I keep telling myself "Ok I'm going to take a class this semester" and I never do.

 

bree at least you are 24 doing that. i am almost 30 doing the same thing

 

Poo Poo on both y'all. I'm almost 50 doing that.

 

open post to my lead ass hip slacker friends

i go through this late winter/early spring as well
i highly recomend forcing yourself to do some arobic exercise...bike, jog, get your heart rate up.
also you might want to try a b complex vitamin and omega 3+6 fatty acids...not the pills get a bottle. you can get it mint lemon flavor and just take a little swig every morning...it lubricates your brain.
these things are essential and the exercise may do the trick alone.

also if you eat a lot of sugars, well there you go. most of us do and don't put it together. drop the sugars and also wheat. too much pasta and breads contribute to depression like symptoms.
best way to stableize your sugar is eat veggies to get the carbs and onions balance your blood sugar. more protien.
if any of this makes sense i'll be glad to share more, but for all i know you think this is foolish and it's better to get pills from the doc...maybe, but not for me
