Isn't depression grand?
 

Yay! It's the middle of summer and another wonderful wave of depression is hitting me like a ton of bricks. I tell myself, go to the gym, work your ass off, you'll feel great! But I'm to sad to go :(

Why am I sad? There is no reason. Isn't life grand?

Why do some people get away so easy mentally, they have no qualms about talking in a huge group, are always happy (or at least come across as being so), and come across as such positive people. I do my best to be positive, I really do. Then the depression slowly creeps back in and suddenly, everything is negative again.

Why!?

You control your life.


Sabby:)

Are you really so upset??

You can call me.


Sabby:)

It's really just a general sad feeling. I think about positive things and even those things make me feel sad. And then in a week or two, I'll be fine again. I have plenty of people around me that I can speak to, but I appreciate the thought, sabby, I really do :)

I have had the most inane and stupid things happen to me...

I could go rant... and I have... trust me I have....

This why I want to say...

NOTHING.


Sabby:)

Many losers in life suffer with depression.

Stay classy.

When i feel down i read the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. It gives me enough boost to get going again, HARDCORE style ;)

Stop Whining.


Sabby:)

I have 3 months of pills Im not taking..


Sabby:)

I was on anti depressants for about 18 months, since I started chemo therapy. They worked fine and no adverse effects. They were call Cypralex or something similar. Stopped taking them 2 weeks ago and sometimes get a bit down. But with nothing to do except sit at home and post on GFY that's to be expected. LOL

Go see your doctor.

why you on chemo?

Sabby:)

I take paxil. Its a good drug.

It makes you have bad farts.

I had to say it... lol


Sabby:)

I had cancer in mt tongue. Got it beaten now and just on the road to full recovery. The chemo and radio therapy was the worse period of my life. Still unable to eat solids, fed a liquid food supplement via a tube in my stomach. Two liters a day. Can't walk much more than a mile before flaking out. And probably retired.

Still I'm very happy. :thumbsup

My mother did 6 weeks radiation... She had it in her throat.

Sabby:)

You are actually only a few months older than my mother Paul... lol.


Sabby:)

I should probably go back on my meds.

Anti-depresents, Anti-psychotics, mood stabalizers...

They just make me feel blahhh... and gassy.


Sabby:)

No sunshine in Vancouver?

Sunny and hot for over a month... Im going to go turn on the sprinkler.

Wet T-Shirt Party!!!!


Sabby:)

normally it happens when you don't have enough to do, get a new girl, book a trip, take on more work or new project, ...

I never get depressed because there's always too much going on to sit around and feel bad.

Just remember it is a western society mentality that makes you think you are supposed to be happy.

people all over the world suffering, starving, dont have clothes, being raped, working for pennies an hour.

and you have the fucking nerve to be depressed?

seriously though i have felt down or depressed before but then i think of the REAL WORLD and realize i have a cake walk in life compared to 99% of people.

everyone always fucking whining these days ME ME ME im depressed ME ME ME i want this.

SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY.

FIRST:
NO YOU DONT MATTER you are a piece of shit floating on a fucking MASSIVE rock that is SMALL AS FUCK on scale.

so snap the fuck out of it and stop acting like a baby.

"you are to sad to go to the gym"
omfg the fact you even have an OPTION to go to a gym is reason not to be depressed.

start looking at fucking REALITY, get a life and stop sitting around finding negative things to think about.

Shit!

I agree with MetaMan about something. Time to shoot myself.

How long ago was it that you went through chemo? My dad had the same thing, cancer in the back of his tongue... he was able to talk through the whole thing, continued working and although he lost a ton of weight he got back into shape relatively quickly afterward. FWIW he's in his late 50s now and this happened a year or so ago.

It gets better, I don't know how bad you had it or how much chemo you went through, but it definitely gets better. He's now running 2 miles a day minimum, playing golf a couple times a week.

He did lose his sense of taste for awhile (getting it back) and the ability to produce saliva from the radiation.

I miss the days when I couldn't get up from bed or get out from my parent's house, enjoy 'em while they last...

Depression is a chemical imbalance. Go see a doctor or research on some natural remedies to help you. Stay positive, get out, stay active. As soon as a negative thought starts to creep in your mind, GET RID OF IT.

extremes and drinking and drugs can work.

There always is a reason.

Listen to MetaMan

cheer up! turn that frown upside down. :):):)

hookers and blow

Wrong. Paxil is not a "good drug". It is physically addictive, withdrawal is very painful, and I believe they're being sued now because of people dying from it.

Don't listen to MetaDork, and it isn't a chemical imbalance thing that you can fix with drugs either. I do admit drugs are fun, and can make you feel better, but ultimately they won't fix the problem forever especially if you ever want to stop taking the drugs.

You are obviously not completely satisfied with your life. It isn't exciting enough to keep you busy and from falling into sadness. I understand this from experience, and it makes life really difficult.

I think people who have a tendency to be depressed really need more action in their life. It can be really, really easy to fall into a routine and just accept your life as it is, telling yourself you are happy and okay. Don't let complacency get to you, you have to keep moving or you'll grow roots and dust will settle, and you'll get depressed.

Working out can help, but honestly if you have issues with "manic" depression swings you just have to find something more in your life to fill those gaps and you will be unable to fall into the "lows." I've learned this the hard way, from much experience.

A long distance move can help tremendously, traveling to other countries or a good old road trip.

I also don't know if you have kids. If not, good! I see SO many young (early 20's) people having kids these days, then they have to work these shitty jobs because they have no college education or work experience and end up partying on the weekend because they are so miserable and that is all there is to do. Its an ugly cycle they fall into and once you have kids you have to provide for them and can really be stuck in life, thinking your kids are so awesome but really you're pretty miserable. Don't have kids before 35.

Good luck. It can take years to figure out what you need to do to make yourself happy. Then people will give you a hard time when you give out good advice like this because they're still miserable pieces of shit (cue MetaLoser).

LOL

depression is REAL, but at the same time what you're saying also is LOL LOL

fucking :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

wont be sad after a few fat rails.

Amazing in this day & age that some people still believe depression is just being "bummed out" because you're bored. That's not depression, that's boredom. Depression is fucking horrible. You can't "think positive" or "snap out of it". People giving this advice need to shut their word holes because they know not what they speak of.

Me too. So when you've finished with the gun can I use it? :1orglaugh

One of the things that struck me about going to Thailand was how happy they were. Little money, few possessions and never stopped smiling. Went to Socal and met some of the the most depressed people ever. All driving SUVs, living in big houses and had every gadget you could think of.

It can be. It's a chemical endorphin that's released or not released into your brain that can govern it. It's the same endorphin that's released when a person climaxes.
