I dont know what my problem is..... some days im feeling right as rain and other days i feel so depressed to the point i dont wanna talk to anyone, dont wanna see anyone, and really dont even wanna get out of bed, just wishing i could sleep the whole day through. I figure its some sort of on/off depression, i dont know, im not a doctor, never been to a doctor for it(cant afford it, no insurance, too many debts). It can last from anywhere from a day or two all the way up to a couple months.... back in august, i think, i went and hung out with my friends for the first time in like 4months, they didnt hear from me or nothing, the first thing they said was "i thought you were dead!" but now im getting the same way again, i had no wish to see anyone today, i forced myself to call my friends house, for reasons i dont know, but he wasnt home, if he was there, i probably would have gave him the "yea i might be over later" line and then not show up. I dont know what the deal is with me, does anyone else have these problems? what do you do to deal with it? I dont have a long enough attention span to sit and filter through WebMD's search results, so if anyone has any input lemme know, thanx bunches, peace
I agree... i'll never goto a doctor for depression.... i'd rather be naturally depressed than chemically happy
hey man just dont think about it. think of something funny, something that at one time brightened your day. if you think about the good things, then hopefully more good things will happen.. me im the same way... depressed on/off, but mostly in the wintertime
Try masturbation(or sex) - Orgasms release feel good chemicals in the brain. Then do something you enjoy(or energetic anyway) to try to use up the stress and depressive thoughts in a more positive way. Although depression saps your will to do things if you feel your self getting stressed go to a gym or something and use that stress to motivate yourself. I find that it helps
i have the same problem man, ever since the big layoffs and since i had to sell everything and now am nothing i used ot always and constantly be a hapyp goofy silly hyper dude all the time, had full time job, full benefits, then poof one day gone in 2002 and have amassed personal debt am down to 13 teeth, and cannot afford to meet a special lady, and so now am not seeing any future or anything and i dont talk to anyone very much naymore and dont go to gatherings and such i am invited to, and yadda yadda, and have to keep smoking green or i just cant deal with everything thinking about how to get out of this rut, cant find work and such, out of options, have lost all temper, used to let nothing ever bother me, was so laid back and calm at all times, its bad, if had some employment then things would be tons better im lucky i am still sane, i still have a chance, but somethings gonna have to happen ASAP, and winter is almost here......! damn, not good at all.. i could go insane this winter being couped up in here, i cant take another winter of it, i just cant, ther eis no way, theres nothing more that i want in this life right now than to get to revert back to mmy former self, and be able to undo what i didnt do in the past but ever since i really realized how this world operates, well its been pretty sad.,. good luck on your end, hope you find a way out
why do you think that? thats probly part of your problem, the negative thoughts. i know, i useta feel the exact same way as ya, up until a lil while ago, until i met an amazing girl (on here nonetheless) whos really helped me start to get those negative thoughts out of my head. it sounds kinda like youve given up, which there is no reason for. Your past does not dictate your future.
Well i have reasons for this negativeness... every girl i've ever been with has used my kindness for weakness, and through my past relationships, i've almost just said fuck it, i'd rather be alone, becuase i havent found a girl that hasnt tried to use me yet. plus it doesnt help that i'm a highly shy guy, people who know me dont really notice it, becuase i'm always acting anything but shy, but i am when im first around a bunch of new people and whatnot..... i try keeping my hopes up for that one day i will find a nice sweet girl.... but everytime i toss the dice they come up craps
hey, i know what you mean about the shyness. i'm anything but shy around my friends, but throw someone new in the mix and i close up instantly and it takes me a while to get truly comfortable to the point of being outgoing again. as for the on/off depression, i'm the same way. i think the low points really make the high points seem that much higher. unfortunately it works the other way around too. i'd say try to determine if they come and go in waves. everyone's different but for me anyway, i find i can tell when i'm going to have a low week or month and maybe i'll stay in more and read or do something to take it easy. if i can feel a high coming along i'll plan more and just get out and do things.
and i've also had the prolonged removal, you were saying something about not seeing anyone for 4 months. but i think that can be very healthy for you. it's about what you do with it though. maybe instead of brooding for 4 months about why you can't find joy in going out, take some you time and maybe get to know yourself some more. it can never hurt. just don't get trapped in spirals. good luck!
there'r actually 2 motives in life hunger and love... all the others are light motives, keeping that in mind sir, find someone that you can speak openly and you think its smart enough to 'solve' you.. any case we, at least i am/are always here to support you.. any further information gets mine..
