Same man, same. Well perhaps not depressed but I feel quite low lately, and that lowness is heightened by feelings of nostalgia. I think it's the time of the year.

[Catmatic Leftist]

Yea, right now, I feel like shit for absolutely no good reason.

[Panda Tse Tung]

I'm feeling great. This morning i even told a colleague it felt good going to work after a long and hard weekend!

;) I'm just kidding. But this phenomenom is called Monday it re-occurs every week or so.

Get to the gym.

If you're psychologically depressed, getting to the gym and rewarding your body through heavy lifting/cardio will make you feel physically better and also releases serotonin and other endorphins which will improve your attitude temporarily.

Long term, having a better physical appearance and feeling better physically will have a large overall effect on your self esteem.


Also, get off this forum. It is incredibly depressing.

[Catmatic Leftist]

I wish I had the means or the money to get to a gym.

[KC]

Running is free. So are bodyweight exercises or using things around the house to lift.

[Os Cangaceiros]

My parents bought me a gym membership when I was...17, maybe? That's the only time I've gone regularly to a gym. I should start again sometime.

It's true, though, you do feel better after lifting or running.

Find your happy place.

[Political_Chucky]

Also, if the gym doesn't work, there is always ecstasy ;)

[Kalifornia]

Can you handle the anguish I have felt and dealt with by myself for many years?
When I see myself in the mirror,
I can't see the joy I once felt.
That joy has been taken away since I can remember
I just turn my head as quick as possible for I do not want see what I'm actually trying to hide.
SUICIDE?

Talking about what makes you sad can help, even on an internet forum, providing that it is not something that you may need focused attention such as a traumatic experience or the recent death of a close one.

There are also a crisis hotlines in case you feel like hurting yourself. 1800-273-TALK (800-273-8255) in the US. I don't know one for England, but a a search engine should help find one easily.

Consistent ecstasy use starts to negatively affect seratonin receptors, though, so that's not really a good option...

I've been depressed for about a year now.

[SamV]

I'm back to being depressed, first time like legit depressed and not just bummed out since 2009. Just sick of the people around me again..

I'd do this but theres like 4 inches of ice and another 2 inches of snow on the ground where I live. Tuesday-Friday were all snow days for me last week and I had a 2 hour delay today.

Just took a jog. I felt better after a while, but then all that was left was sniffles from being out in the cold and more lingering grief.

it worked for me but that is me - if you want to try wait until after the snow goes and if the sun is out it may make you feel better - i dont go in the snow ice etc dont want to break a leg..:( the other thing is turning up music and singing LOUD that helps me..

[Mindtoaster]

Should probably stay away from those SWP meetings

Prozac.

[Il Medico]

I'm not so sure about the exercise. Its probably true, but I always feel horrible when i exercise. Main reason I have such a problem doing it (even though I'm in desperate need). Meh, it probably just because I'm way out of shape. (The fags probably don't help either)

Both of those. For some people it doesn't feel good at all when you first start off. But it's true that staying in shape, frequent exercise, and healthy food actually keep you happier. Along with going outside a lot. The sun rules and gives ya lots of vitamin D :cool:
When I kept away from fast food for two years and rode my bike often*, I felt great. It helped my depression too.



*Getting hit by a car on my bike... I blame that as my downfall to not going outside more! I can't wait for spring.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Eating healthy food is one tip I've never managed to accomplish as far as feeling better was concerned...I love unhealthy food and I don't think I'll ever stop eating it.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

I ate really healthy for about 3 years. Now I suck. I gave up fast food again, but fuck, it's hard to always eat healthy when you make shit pay and have debt and bills to pay! At least there's an awesome nearby Farmers Market during summer.

Running is free.

Consistent ecstasy use starts to negatively affect...
who said anything about 'consistent'? :)

granted, its a shitty recommendation if you're just gonna sit around at home and not go dancing or something.

at any rate, running is the best suggestion IMO. but also, go do something with friends, be around other people, don't sit around isolated and feel sorry for yourself because you'll just end up feeling worse.

Own your life.

[Political_Chucky]

"thanks KC"

For reals, all joking aside, exercise will boost your mood tremendously along with a decent diet. Trust, about two years ago(which now is starting to creep back up again) I was severely depressed. I had broke one ankle, twisted the other and was out of work for like 6 weeks, lost my girlfriend, had even more severe depression from drug abuse(did have a good time while I was doing it though :) ) and to top it all off, my 2005 Jetta's engine blew out, cost me around 3 grand to fix.

My cure? I started walking to the gym, which was an hour away, ate as much fruit as I could, and lost a good 15-20 pounds doing it. My mood enhanced greatly and sex was much more amazing.

I'm starting to get back in a rut, but tomorrow I'm going to take a 4-5 hour bike trail from Riverside, Ca to Hunington Beach. Wish me luck :)

Exactly haha. Being on the comp or playing video games has been proven to raise depression. Ecstasy, when taking right, will help you out a rut and let you socialize with people for added effects. But like I said, when taken right (have a good diet, drink plenty of vitamin C before and after, be around good friends and vibes)

[KC]

People always piss and moan about how terrible their life is, but complain more about how tough it would be to change. For people like Il Medico he's more satisfied sitting on his ass smoking than he is actually trying to change his life for the better, and I think that says a lot about him.

I don't know, I liked ecstasy way more than I should have when I tried it (four times, in MDMA gel capsules). If it was available to me I probably would've bought more and just popped ecstasy while vacuuming my house or something lame like that. It just made me feel really, really good for hours. Definitely something that I don't need to do again.

Weak lol. We got 3-1/2 feet and then 3 more inches on top of that yesterday and only had two snow days.[/Gloating]


I dunno man. I've been pretty bummed these last few months too. Feels like even a global socialist revolution wouldn't be nearly enough to fix our fucked up world. So much shit going on too. Fucking colleges and shit. Obama is fucking us over. Change my ass. More like 'maintain the status quo', 'continue supporting dictators until they get overthown, then the people(sorta)', 'escalate a war' and 'cut taxes for the rich'. Seems like the only thing that gets me through is herb. Lots and lots of herb.:hammersickle::che::hammersickle:

:lol: best mental image ever..


It just made me feel really, really good for hours.well yeah, its sort of the point. idk, it isn't something i've ever had the desire to do on a regular basis, not that i could afford it anyway. plus it would be totally draining physically. imo its a nice treat once in a while, but that's about it.

[bcbm]

nah sitting around at home is just as fun. cooking is great too.

^really? seems like it would be a waste to me, tho i don't really have much desire to test that hypothesis anyway, so i'll have to take your word for it.

Driving on ecstasy is pretty fun. I did that once.

For once listening to stupid techno music actually made sense.

this is easy to say but its for each person to decide when the time is right for them to change tings- no point in trying to change and failing - more depression - you have to be in the right determined state of mind but that is an individual thing its not a general one

Most motivational speakers will tell you the exact opposite. And its also been apart of my life. I took the word try out of my vocabulary. When you TRY to do something, your saying your doing it with the intent to fail.

Seasonal affective disorder can be an issue for those in the Northern Hemisphere. In Scandinavia and parts of the UK it can be worse.Not to downgrade objective causes but one's diet can have a huge impact on one's state of mind.

Following the Tunisian and then Egyptian protests got me out of a minor depression.

SG, is there a specific issue you are concerned with and/or might be able to share or is it more a case of "seasonal blahs"?

I enjoy your posts, even if I might not always agree. Hang in there!

motivational speakers... never seen one... of course it is better if you can do these things with someone else but not everyone can...I am not saying you can do this with the intent to fail - maybe i wasnt clear -what i meant was keep trying...:):)

if you have friends that want to join in all the better- of course that is the best way - depression really is a monkey on your back ...

[scarletghoul]

That man in the video is so annoying, he doesn't deserve any self-esteem.

I enjoy your posts, even if I might not always agree. Hang in there!thanks for caring, but really i dont think talking about it will make much difference. ive had bad depression before on and off for about 6 years, i just have to take some prozac, wait for it to pass, and to prevent it destroying my future.. the objective trigger in this case is that it seems like i might not be accepted into any universities and thats kinda annoying lol, then its mixed with other concerns and problems.. i just hate the idea of spending another year of my life trying to struggle in education here,,.. guess i could try travelling or something .

[Political_Chucky]

Yeah, Anthony Robbins isn't the best choice for speakers in my opinion, but search around your area. Honestly. I have heard some really good speakers if your in THAT bad of a rut that lift up your spirits and help you think about what you NEED to do. Or even try picking up some self-help books. The best thing you can really do is "try," with the intent of being successful./

well pretty much everything is fun on mdma so.. its hard to go wrong. i just put on music and laid in bed and grinned after coming home on it once, was great. cooking is fun too, and biking. um.. riding in cars. yeah. everything.

it isn't that i think it wouldn't be fun, but more that the thought of rolling by myself just sort of grosses me out... i just don't find the idea appealing at all.

I like the whole "concurrence roundtable" bit at the end of the "decoy muslims" one. I laughed pretty hard at that.

oh right on. i've only done it with another person once, being around people who aren't on it while you are is kind of weird. i had some friends over while i was rolling after a party and i ended up just making them like a gourmet meal while they talked about bullshit lol

How the hell did that end up? Your brain musta felt like a squished tomato afterwards. I could never roll for more then 2 days honestly. Most of the time I just drink some orange juice all day and the roll comes back the next day.

[synthesis]

I've actually found that if your MDMA is legit then .05 is pretty much the perfect dose. (It's listed as the "therapeutic dose" on Wikipedia.) It's like drinking a couple beers instead of chugging a fifth, although there is a time and a place for each, I suppose.
