Depressed

[moose11]

Today was one of those days that i get every now and then...shit hits the fan...u start thinnking about everything...I slept most of the day its 8:51pm and i still havent worked out. Earlier today i just BROKE down in front of the comp.....about to again just thiking about it. Anyonelse get this way? Any advice? I even took my dog out to play a few mins ago and didnt feel like chasing him or anything.

There are two approaches you can take:
either relax or keep yourself busy. I know, two extremes. You know yourself best. Whatever you do, try not to think about whatever is bothering you, especially if you feel emotional. Calm down, wait until you feel better and more logical, and then tackle your problems.

That is what I always do, but then again, I am not ordinary...

maybe someone else has better advice.

i know exactly how you feal, Im having that kind of day today, or at least was, I got dumped yesterday and today it just kinda hit me. anyways, I think it helps being alone for a while, take a drrive play some music, talk to someone about it. rent your favorite movie, or do somthing youve really wanted to do for a while. It will take your mind off it, and start thinking about what you could have done instead and how you would have changed it and then let it play out in your mind how it would have played out had you done it that way. it will help you next time your in a situation similar, hope this helps some, call a friend, preferably girl one that you havent talked to in a while, and just talk to her about stuff, not nessacerly what happened but just whats been going on with her. take it easy bro!

Hey bro, I think there are alot of people in the same boat you are in... so you don't need to feel alone. I'm in a fairly depressed mood at this moment. Luckily my good looks and excellent physique get me by... j/k -- it's really my sense of humor.

Working out really makes me feel better... even though, my chest feels all tight... that depressive tight... if you know what I'm talking about...

I do know one thing... a friend sent me this quote today... and it really made me think...

"It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get. "

--Confucius

I think it speaks for itself... just remember... things that are going good for you... you may only have one thing going on in your life that is worth while... but use that one thing, to expand your other feelings... it is what I am doing... right now.. .I have my family, I have a best friend, I have several friends that are just awesome... and I have... my iron... right now... that is getting me by... soon, everything will workout... and my head, like yours, will get out of your ass.

C-ditty

I was in a mood like that but I took two wellbuturin 300mg's and Im happy just knowing Ill be happy soon

Take a catecholamine agonist and do something that usually makes you feel good. Getting in the gym and pounding the weights really hard is usually a good start. Also make sure that you're getting plenty of carbs so you're brain and body will have something to work with.

300mg of Wellbutrin does the trick. I've had 300 already today and am supposed to take another 100, but I think I may save it. Wellbutrin has a splendid effect on catecholamines.

Take a vacation...........get away for a little bit.

I got some wellbutrin a few weeks ago because I was a little bummed out. Not truely depressed. I only took them for 2 days. They made me fell crazy. Guess they don't work the same for eveyone.

 

[biteme]

Being that depressed is the pits. Feel for you. Hang in there.

 

[casavant]

The God's honest truth for me is that when I would feel down, just doing some kind of mental exercise and/or doing something that usually put me in a good mood did not work, or at least not for long. Chemicals + those things....now we're talking. But that's just me.

[theoak01]

I might have to try them again

they are great,I actually have them in zyban form but they are great for when you just need to relax and things are kind of shitty and you want to be happy

The only difference between Wellbtrin SR and Zyban is the printing on the pill.

Are you going to get more when you run out? I've been on them every day for sixteen months straight and I still feel them working.

The problem with depression, is that it kind of makes you unmotivated to get un-depressed. I'm totally in agreement with casavant on this - take a catecholamine agonist and go work out HARD for some natural beta endorphin release.

I've been bouncing in and out of extreme depression for about a week, and only ephedrine plus hard cardio and lifting have kept me from staring at the walls all day.

ya I plan on keeping them around,my old man just has to say he wants to quit smoking again which he wont ever quit and I get free drugs

I know how you feel, bro. Sometimes I just chalk it up to how I'm made; other times I find things to blame it on. But, the best thing to do is think positive and look for things to bring you out of it, anything to bring you out of it, because the longer you feel that way the longer you make yourself suffer.

I'm on house arrest, I'm single, the two girls I was dating seem to have lost interest in my home-stuck ass, I'm broke, I can't work out or even take a walk down the street, etc., etc.

But, when things get this bad, it can only get better, bro. Try and be positive, even when you have dozens of shitty things to dwell on. I know its hard, but watch a funny movie or call someone you always feel good after talking to. Make a list of things you can feel good about.

Sounds cheesey, but you'll be feeling better in no time if you allow yourself to.

I know it's just situational in my case, though - can't imagine how much worse it would be if it were chemical as well. My mom was diagnosed with uterine cancer 3 weeks ago today, she had surgery to remove the diseased bits a week and a half ago, and I'm more or less confined to the house taking care of her while she recovers. If being around a sick loved one 24/7 doesn't depress the shit out of you, I don't know what would.

well no all my probs just seem obsolete compared to your situation Ceebs........How is she recovering??

bad weekend for me as well....seems like a lot of it going around....

sounds corny, but I've spent a lot of time this weekend thinking about the people and things I love.....

things I don't always think about, and kind of take for granted....I found a lot of comfort in that, and it made me want to fall in love with life again. Most times, just pulling your head out of it is the hardest thing to do.

Ceebs, sorry about your mom....I pray she gets better.
