Forum: The Classroom Topic: Not feeling so good. started by: ic0n0 Posted by ic0n0 on Jan. 02 2002,21:26
I have been feeling really depressed lately, more so then I usually am (I am always in some sort depressed mood) I don’t know why I feel like shit all the time. I have no reason to feel like I do I mean I have a lot going for me school is going ok I didn’t fail anything. This is only going to get worse I feel like I am going to relapse into a major depression like the one I escaped from a few years ago. I post this here not as an attempt to gain sympathy or attention but rather to just state that I may not be posting anything for a while.

Maybe you should find religion... most ppl I know that go to church are in a state of bliss to most things normal ppl think about. Or another serious solution; happy pills, really... depression, especially unbased depression, can be caused by chemical imbalances (you should prolly get them from a licensed doctor and not that guy who sells pills on the corner).

I was on meds for three years (Prozac, Zoloft and Efexor) so I know depression and I know what it is I just don't want to deal with my self-hatred anymore. I have reflected enough to see that as the source of my problems.

Sounds serious...A change of scenery sometimes helps. Maybe a road trip. I wonder what Damien_S_Lucifer thinks... Damien...? (btw... don't go rock climbing... ask Damien) "Kick that foothold first!", followed by a lot of screaming. Wolfen Posted by Non on Jan. 03 2002,02:30
hey ic0n0, not trying to sound to "jimmy stuart cerca it's a wonderful life" here, try focusing on the good thigns in your life; friends, doing things you love, new experiences. If you don't have these things you can always find them. Start expanding your horizons, change your habbits, start fresh, today is the first day of the rest of your life...I am writing this for you as much as for me because I have been kinda down for a while now (past 5 months) and I need to change or I will just atrophy away into nothing, as tempting as that sounds I gotta pull myself up... I think there might be more out there... I've asked myself why people go through life, they struggle against the current just to end up in the same place they would if they stopped struggling... and I can't answer that, there might not be an answer, at least not one we can understand 'till we get there. I have often thought about taking the shorter way, the quicker way... looking out at the universe in contempt as I lay down my hand and stand up from the game. /me sings < Kenny Rogers "The Gambler" > in my head now those are words to live by; "Every gambler knows That the secret to survivin' Is knowin' what to throw away And knowin' what to keep. 'Cause every hand's a winner And every hand's a loser And the best that you can hope for Is to die in your sleep." People, most likely wiser than me, have asked similar questions since the concept of "self". They stared at stars that are still shining light our way and wondered what value they had in the universe, what difference there existence would make to tommorow and to those who would see these stars long after tommorow... Does intelligence or even existence mean a damn thing to the faceless, endless, machine that has been grinding away at infinity since before our "big bang", the one before that, and with indifference to any doubt we have, to continue long after the next... ?

What you all need to do is chill the fuck out. Aside from that priceless nugget of information, what you need to do is chat, and there are a lot of us around, just search for us all on ICQ and ask us to lend an ear. That's what we're here for.I'm about to go do shit now so I'm not around for a few hours, but all you ppl need is reassurance that you're cool. That goes to ic0n0, Non, and anyone else that feels low, remember you're a detnetter and go kick some lammah ass! Posted by Wiley on Jan. 03 2002,17:19
When things are sucking their worst you gotta change things for yourself. Don't keep saying to yourself "everything would be better if I had more sex, more money, more respect, more sex, more friends or more sex. You gotta make thinks happen. You want a better job? Go look for one or study up on the career you want. Want more friends? Make an effort to call some people and plan a night out, don't wait for people to call you.I find that doing someting (anything) helps clear your head a lot more then sitting around feeling blue.

by cr0bar that's easier said than done. On a bit more serious note: ic0n0; you're not a bad person, so don't hate yourself. You know you don't have too... While that's also easier said then done, maybe me saying so will help you believe it. Take care people. Have a great 2002! /clichee |
