What do you guys do when you are going through a hard time in life? When life just seems stressful and depressing. What makes you happy? How do you pull yourself out of it? Do you ever get to a point where life is overwhelming and some days you just don't feel like doing shit? I mean even things that make you happy just aren't making you smile that much. If you aren't in the mood to joke or just don't feel like yourself does that mean you are depressed? Man I hate this feeling and I don't know how to snap out of it.
 
Being upset about something surely sucks. I just try to get through it the best way I can. I either find someone who will listen or I just bottle it all up and keep moving.
I love it when I get into the questioning mood. Like why am I here, why did I do certain things, why did I choose certain things etc...It is such a grand feeling. I have been toying with therapy just to have an outlet but who knows how that will go.

Yeah I usually bottle it up I think that is my problem. I am not one to tell people my problems at all. Which is why most people think my life is perfect. lol I guess this is my way to let it out a little. I guess it's hard too when you know that the things that are making you feel this way cannot change right now or you don't have a lot of control over it. You just have to either bottle it up or just learn to deal with it.

I have learned that people are too selfish. I mean really, go try to talk to one of your friends about something that is on your mind, it is bound to turn into a convo about her. It is human nature.
It is hard to bottle up stuff that one constantly thinks of, the same old thing over and over. How the hell do you ignore that?
I often wonder if the world would have been better if the only emotion we knew was happiness.
 
everyone has shitty days; i wouldn't say you are clinically depressed unless your mood have been persistent for a few months.

the only thing that pulls me out of moods like that are completely new life experiences, where i am too caught up in what's around me to turn my thoughts inward

Follow an anti-depression regimen.

1) Try to go to bed and wake-up at consistent times.

2) Moderate (or eliminate) alcohol, and zero rec drugs

3) Schedule your time. Plan your entire day even if most of the activities are mundane. Make a schedule and stick to it.

4) Eat at regular times, don't skip meals and don't comfort eat either

5) Limit TV or other open-ended time-killing activities (i.e. video games).

6) Exercise regularly -- build it into your schedule.

7) Avoid simple carbs, especially sugar buzzes

8) Consider an anti-depressant, but only if its part of a comprehensive plan to get better. Never plan on taking an anti-d for more than a handful of months.

happiness and self-preservation are like diametrically opposed, so good fucking luck even surviving a year

You know all of the items you mentioned I don't really have issues with. I excersize and sleep good,etc. I think I need a day for myself sometimes. I have a schedule it is just exhausting me I think. Every night it's the same thing home to take care of kids, dinner, gym, kids lessons,etc. Sometimes I just want to stay home and not do shit. Maybe I am just tired and because I am so tired I just feel stressed and depressed too. I don't know I am just thinking outloud, sorry.

I did have some issues with anxiety and doctor said being a Mom and life I could be depressed. He tried to put me on an anti-d and I felt like a zombie and didn't last more than 2 days on it. I don't think I could handle any drugs.

Best way to bottle it up is to keep saying the stupid statement
"you are only as depressed as you allow yourself to be"

I dunno. I get that way from time to time and the mood lasts for months. My 'why' questions are usually around my marriage (especially when she's busy for months on a project and I'm ignored) and my job.

When it gets really bad, I just veg out with my kids and play some crappy video games to spend the time or see some friends and bitch to them.

Or, I come on here and see how bad the rest of you have it and don't feel so bad. :D

lol!! Yeah I come on here and get a good laugh. The only thing that puts a smile on my face is when my kids say or do something and I realize how great my life really is. I guess I am just going through the same issues. Like I said the issues I have right now I can't change for awhile so I guess I just have to learn to accept them and make the most of it. It is just hard. My hubby is feeling the same and we lean on each other whenever we see each other that is.

I think I just bought into the fairy tale of life, wanted it to stay that way, and didn't realize the impact of 2 kids, a consulting job, and a mortgage has on it.

Hope it works out for you. I'm sure it will in due course. We're here for hugs and sob stories if you need it.

You know what might help? Post nudes. :D Okay, I had to ask.

Yeah I hear ya! I think I am in the same position. Work is pissing me off and hubby and I are now business owners so I have hardly seen him in 3 months :( He and I were really tight so I guess not having him to lean on a lot and other shit going on just really makes it hard. Hugs always help :)

I don't think posting nudes would help though. ;) I am sure someone would be a dick and make a nasty comment then I would kill myself because I am depressed. lol jk

What kind of business (if you don't mind me asking)?
 
Silver,

I usually hesitate to give anyone advice, but I will tell you this - When you refill the tank now and then, you put yourself in a better position to take care of the ones you love. Don't be afraid to demand a little silverstar time occasionally.

I lived in austin for a while and loved it....I only moved for the man I loved at the time (and do not regret it). But I've never lived anywhere longer than three years in my entire life and this july I'll be at three years in DC. I'm getting the itch, even though I just bought a condo here.

to make myself feel better

I go to the gym, come home, strip naked, put on my viking helmet and then violate my wife:)
 
Hi, sorry to hear what your going through. I think we all been there before. Nothing is really never perfect. Life is always gonna throw obsticals our way. Life's a fight. When you find yourself in ahole so deep and life keeps sh!tting on ya be happy. You'll find out self respect, honor, and strenght to over come is all that matters. Keep getting back up...believe in yourself. You'll become much stronger and a better person at the end of it. For every struggle there is a greater struggle. Life could be worse. When you can rest, do it and look into seeing if your job offers some type of stress leave for there employees. When I feel like that, I keep busy. Hang out with family, talk with some friends, and just do things that make you happy. I hope things get better for you fast. I hate seeing you down like this. Things are gonna get better soon.

I've spent nearly every day of the last 2+ years like that.

There are some days where NOTHING will *snap* you out of it, you just have to keep breathing, going through the motions more robotic than anything else.

This will sound bad but it helped me. I thought about people who had it WAY WORSE than me and survived regardless. I thought of those that were in concentration camps during WWII. I still had MY FREEDOM...

Does that help?

Not to mention the fact that you have children who are the light of your life. <---- THAT IS EVERYTHING.

YOU are their sun, their moon, their stars, their love, their dreams... YOU are their one and only mother. That is a privilige that many don't ever get or that is stolen from some far too soon.

I remember how overwhelming it was to have small children... arguing w/my spouse - feeling like nothing I did was ever good enough... but if I could go back, I would in a heartbeat. For ONE REASON: so that I could give MY CHILDREN the love and attention they deserved by ME REALIZING how important I was TO THEM... even if I fucked shit up day in and day out - they loved me like I was the only one on the earth...

I hope this helps.

I am sorry that you are down. But I promise you, if you believe that tomorrow will be better, evenutally tomorrow comes!

Thank you :heart: You are so right! More than anything it is my kids that keep me going. I am just going through a rough patch and I just have to know that it will be better.

I usually don't get too down, but when I do I take a peek at emails from a year ago, or around that time. Funny how a day or week later everything was great.

other words, shit passes and passes quick. You can sometimes force yourself into a funk, but at the same time you can force yourself to be happy.

When I start to think that my life sux or anything else like that I just try to think about how fortunate I am and what I have that many don't. We often take things for granted, like having food, water, shelter. Some people don't get the luxuries that we have. Also I've realized that the only way something is going to change is if I change it. You are the only person that can get yourself out of the mood, its much like working out for me.
 
I can write a 1000 pg book on this subject.
All I can say is exercise and writing in down or talking to friends.
 
I was depressed last night so I called Lifeline. Got a call center in Pakistan

I told them I was suicidal

They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck

silver - the way we "feel", your mood, is nothing more than the result of the balance of neurochemicals floating around in your system at any given point.

sometimes the imbalance is caused by the stress of outside life events depleting those chemicals, sometimes its just an endogenous condition. In your case maybe the former.

whatever the cause, you can help your body/mind fix itself by providing it with the raw materials neccessary to kickstart things or manufacture neurochemicals. I've always found these to help alliviate feelings of "depression" or mental exhaustion in myself and family/friends:

1) l-tyrosine - increases norepinephrine synthesis, thus increasing alertness, normalizing sleep, etc. think of it as a healthy version of caffiene without the side effects or jitters. it also stimulates production of thyroid hormones to boost metabolism.

2) l-phenylanine - same as above, but quicker and harsher .

3) l-glutamine - reduces cortisol levels and helps lifts the "brain fog" that often comes with depression (helps clear ammonia, and competes with tryptophan to cross blood-brain barrier- excess tryptophan leads to that "brain fog" feeling))

4) whey protein- a natural way to increase serotonin levels. studies have shown diets hi in whey increase serotonin levels ~50% more than diets that dont. as you probably know, serotonin is the "happy/coping chemical" in your brain. many of the anti-depressant drugs like prozac work by increasing or preserving S levels. While the anti-depressant drugs may have been overkill for you, a gentle nudge using this natural therapy may be more to your liking

5) send Mava noods - may or may not do anything for you, but they'll make _me_ happy

sometimes the imbalance is caused by the stress of outside life events depleting those chemicals, sometimes its just an endogenous condition. In your case maybe the former.

whatever the cause, you can help your body/mind fix itself by providing it with the raw materials neccessary to kickstart things or manufacture neurochemicals. I've always found these to help alliviate feelings of "depression" or mental exhaustion in myself and family/friends:

1) l-tyrosine - increases norepinephrine synthesis, thus increasing alertness, normalizing sleep, etc. think of it as a healthy version of caffiene without the side effects or jitters. it also stimulates production of thyroid hormones to boost metabolism.

2) l-phenylanine - same as above, but quicker and harsher .

3) l-glutamine - reduces cortisol levels and helps lifts the "brain fog" that often comes with depression (helps clear ammonia, and competes with tryptophan to cross blood-brain barrier- excess tryptophan leads to that "brain fog" feeling))

4) whey protein- a natural way to increase serotonin levels. studies have shown diets hi in whey increase serotonin levels ~50% more than diets that dont. as you probably know, serotonin is the "happy/coping chemical" in your brain. many of the anti-depressant drugs like prozac work by increasing or preserving S levels. While the anti-depressant drugs may have been overkill for you, a gentle nudge using this natural therapy may be more to your liking

5) send Mava noods - may or may not do anything for you, but they'll make _me_ happy

Sounds like your doing better. Have fun. You should try salsa, it's so much fun.
 
I am convinced I don't have a problem. It's everyone else.

That's why I refuse to take any medication. If things are fucked up............then the correct feeling shouldn't be carefree and happy. I'm upset/pissed for a reason and it's completely natural and correct.

Not necessarily true. I know someone who took wellbutrin and went nutty..Now he is on zoloft and doing much better...
I am talking sides like schizophrenia and stuff like that. Although with him it was an extreme case. Caused him to become a mental case, and they adjusted the wellbutrin many times and still the sides were there.
I don't care how many tests they do, or what they say. All meds give some type of side. There is no drug out there that does not give sides...It all depends on the person. Both you and I could be on the same med and you can be fine and experience what you think is no sides whereas I can take it and it can royally fuck me up. There is always a side of some type, just some are not noticeable by people.
