Do you ever get depressed and don't know why?

[Garza]

I have been getting depressed alot lately. I don't want to do anything, just come home and go straight to bed. This sucks, i've struggled with it thru out my life, does anyone else have any similar expereinces?

 

[moe dank]

It just comes and goes. Everyone i know goes through it. I have one friend 27 years old, he is a software developer making 120k plus and the guy works at chilies part-time as a waiter just cause he gets depressed when he isnt busy.

Yes, I have been there...You need to figure out what is causing you to feel depressed now, before your in a full blown depression....I think some people are genetically predisposed to be depressed (not sure if I worded that right or not? My great grandmother had shock therapy years and years ago to treat her depression and my grandmother has been on every anti-dep. they make and still struggles daily w/it...Are you working out regularly? If your not - start b/c It really helps....good luck!

 

[Gilbyag]

No...

 

[Garza]

Yes, I workout regulary and have for a while now. I have pretty much decided to start being alot more strict with working out. If i get depressed it will never be because I look like shit.

Not really - if I get depressed, I usually know what's causing it.

 

[BigDdaGanjalist]

I usually get depressed for many reasons at once (racing thoughts). . . runs in the family

It's mostly for shit I fucked up on. . . which is for a lot of things. . .

When the depression hits. . . I just turn on some music and ride it out

Nothing lasts forever. . . just remeber that

 

[theoak01]

if i get depressed it is because i dont think my body is where it should be for all the hard work im putting in,i eat like mad and train even harder but the gains pretty much stopped,im not impressed

What are you pissed about that you are not taking actions to deal with? Answer that, you'll find out why your depressed and repressed.

 

[evilution79]

I hear ya! My basic routine is wake up, watch tv, workout, work, then go home and sleep. I dont want to go out w/ my friends or do anything fun anymore. Ive had this feeling for about 2 years now!

You can usually tell what is causing your depression. Have you had any radical changes or instability in your life? Do you feel lonely or have low self-esteem? Are you on cycle?

 

[Garza]

Yeah, I just moved from Indiana to Florida about four months ago, its kinda hard establishing myelf here I guess.

 

[Warik]

I'm kind of depressed right now.

At least you're not an addict.

 

[fiatconspiracy]

Try alcohol, it is a great anti-depressent,

 

[theoak01]

stay the hell away from booze and drugs,im actually gettin down myself,friends are just shit anymore,i only trust 2 friends and one of them im doubting,the rest i dont even see,and i feel like i cant control it,just keep busy thats what im trying to do

 

[studcj]

You just moved 4 months ago? That sucks because you probably don't have a good group of friends to chill with yet. Wait till school starts up again. Lift in the weightroom like crazy and make friends there, then you and your friends can look forward to getting strong and getting bitches. It's hard to make guy friends during the summer, so try and get a nice piece of ass to last you till the end of the summer. Maybe get a different job or something also.

Drop Ranger a PM. I was knocked on my ass 2 months ago after some oversea's service in Lebanon. It's happened to me before. Ranger came in with some great very level headed advice. I feel you pain man. But it passes.
Stay cool

Normal...
When I get down, I head for the Beach. ALL BY MYSELF.
Not one of those crowded, tourist Beaches.. Hit one of the un-developed ones and sit and listen to the Waves
and Figure out what are the issues. Coming from the middle of the country you should be able to appreciate the Simple, tranquility of the Ocean.

Also, check out the Honey's at a more crowded beach.. That always cheers me up..

 

[fiatconspiracy]

if you got the money go talk to a pro.

depression is for the rich or people with too much time on their hands (usually one in the same) in 95% of the cases.

Too much self analysis leads to paralysis.

 

[Burning_Inside]

maybe you're overtraining?

Also, i'm ina permanently depressed state of mind. I've come to realize that i will be like this forever, because I just don't agree with how a lot of modern day living works, and especially how a lot lot lot of people think. Yeah, i could take drugs to make myself better, but I refuse, I'd rather be unhappy for a real reason than artifically happy. Just accept that this is the way it is and always will be.

I know exactly what you mean by "artificial hapiness." Its like saying "Hey, you're depressed, take this pill and it will trick you into thinking everything is just fine." It's easier to live in reality no matter what it is.

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? DID YOU SEE THE PICS YOU POSTED OF YOURSELF???

(YOU SHOULDNT BE SO HARD ON OTHERS (IE...FAT PEOPLE) AND PEOPLE WOULDNT MAKE STATEMENTS LIKE I JUST MADE TO YOU.)
