    Mah i'm on a low again. There are 2 things that get me really down, and i know they sound silly but it really bothers me.

    First is when people are nasty to others. I just don't see why it is so neccessary. If you don't like someone, then it's best to avoid them, but when you must be with them then just try to be at least civil right? But yeah just the realisation that people aren't ever going to get on with each other. I don't know why that gets me depressed, but it does.

    The 2nd is the environment. I just hate how every single little thing i do is destroying life somehow. I've been trying my very best to be as eco-friendly as possible but i still feel shit for doing things. For some reason i feel as if i can persuade my family and close friends to be better, but just looking at the whole world gets me down. We've gone too far, and there's nothing we can do now :( I get really suicidal when i'm in this sort of mood (but i won't now :)), with a bit of a climax this time last year when i attempted. Cause i guess if i wasn't here then that would be a tiny bit less damage done. Mah

    Please don't argue with me over what i've said, cause it won't make me feel any better.

    peace

    you should trytojust surround yourself inkindness &enlightenment,
    youcant change the world alone, but whenyou seekout others who only want to spread love & kindness, & live more hormoniosly you'll feel a bit more hope, the world is changing indeed..& yea the governments & all seem hell bent on destruction, but the more they destroy the more folks like us come out of the woodworks & come together to work for a better future

    also..make sure in all your time u spend worryimng u take enoughtime for youyrself to just get hugged as much as you need to..:)
    hugs

    I can relate completely. These are the same things that make me depressed, and ironically, when I feel depressed, its the time when I do the least to stop it, and I'm the worst for the environment, and I'm an asshole to most people. Email/MSN me, and we can talk about it. ryanbarwin@hotmail.com

    Shirley,

    Recently I found www.tricycle.com , it's a Buddhist site that allows you to subscribe to a daily email that has a brief thought. You don't have to be a Buddhist to enjoy it, and I've found it has brightened many days for me. I live with my wife who is clinically depressed due mostly to health problems, and my mother who is suffering the early stages of dementia. Having those influences around me constantly makes it extremely difficult to stay calm and centered, and the daily email really helps me. I hope it can help you, it's easy to "opt out" if you don't enjoy it.

    I'm sorry to hear that you are depressed. Depression sucks a lot. I can relate right now b/c I'm dealing with it too. Sometimes life just seems to suck and things seem horrible and we are helpless to do anything. It's the helplessness that hurts the most.

    When I feel down, I think of the good things in my life. There are good things in life, you just have to look for them. I hope you this will benefit you in some way.

    Peace and love

    i totally understand.i go thur alot of highs and lows. i call them my journeys and i take them as the come and know that theyll pass eventually. the problem i have is surrounding myself with dark depressin things. listening to ultra heavy music, not opening my curtains, maybe pulling out my dark clothes. and im so tempted to do this but i have to fight it cause feedng the depression dosnt help it go away
