Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, sometimes we just need to rant, ya know? If you tell us about your problems, we'll try not to judge you. 3nodding

If you truly think that you are seriously depressed, I would look up what it means to be depressed, and check if you are.

I think it's a bout of depression. A good positive thinking book (no joke) might help you turn your thoughts around a bit. See life for it's values, maybe pick up a book about "how to deal with mean people without becoming one yourself". 3nodding We all have our days, Monk, where our feelings are low. I have no doubt that you'll work through it. If you need any help with it, remember we're always here for you.

Hey, sometimes it's bet to get it off your chest and have some friends to help you sort through it all. Go ahead and vent on here. We'll listen. 3nodding

Alright, I know I'm gonna regret it later. I guess I have to begin nearly a year ago when I got my heart broken by my best friend and girlfriend. I dunno if you guys have ever dated your best friedn but it is hell to go through whne you break up and basically it through me into a downward spiral. I stopped taking care of myself for about a two weeks before I decided to live with what had happened. Well She continued to hurt me all summer and to this day she and I never talk. I haven't dated or any of that stuff in a year. I feel alone and typically would be able to do something about it but I'm so scarred from that experience that I'm afraid to get that hurt again. I've felt really depressed as of late too because everyone around me seems to be changing and doing new things and I'm stuck where I am. I feel like the last sane person on the planet because I've stuck to my beliefs and never become hypocritical of myself. But everyone else has. A friend of mine told me to give my ex a chance because it sounded like I had unresolved feeling and when I did finally talk to her I never brought it up because I discovered that she had become an effing drugee. She was the most anti-drug person I knw and when she gave up her morals just like that I lost all respect for her. I made a new friend and she and I get along so nicely and are into all the same things and I think I'm falling for her but she had a boyfriend and once again I have no courage anymore. You remember I told you guys that I asked a girl out recently yes? Well that took all my courage and when she said no I became weak again. I feel disgusted with myself. I'm unhappy with myself too because I was in great shape and in a matter of weeks I am to my current state where it's become hard to run the two to three miles I used to do. I dunno I'm still happy and what not but on the inside I feel dead inside.

well if all that dosent work theres always one sure fire way to get almost any thing off your chest destruction !
it works for me atleast ill just get my bat some bottles wooden crates and what ever elses no one cares what i do with and smash the crap out of it . its quite relivieing

Well, letting out your anger through physical means is usually an effective method, but it sucks to explain why you bashed your neighbor's mailbox.

I agree with Kita about the punchbag. Hell, I sure wanted to punch the crap out of something when I first started taking my history class. stressed

Something I do when I'm pissed is break down cardboard boxes for recycling. It's short-lived, but it's somewhat productive.

yeah produtivity part is good when youve got to get junk down to size i dont have a punch bag so i improvised. otherways i get rid of stress are tending my plants and aquaraium which is soothing
