I'm in an utter funk lately.
I feel like an utter clod so much of the time and I only kinda feel half into my studies and the like... I just feel like ass all the damn time and usually I just want to curl up into my bed and sleep, I don't know how to stop feeling this way and it's getting annoying.

It's called depression. I'd suggest porn but that gets addicting.

I've never been into porn... could be because I'm a girl...

Oh... well being a guy I can't give you advice then. Perhaps a psycologist?

If you find a way to break out of this state, without resorting to porn, let me know.

that happens to me some times. it helps me if i go for a walk or see friends

I know some girls who are quite into porn. In fact, I've named one of my female friends the "Porn Queen of the Great Lakes". She's on a first name basis with the employees of the local porn shop.

Perhaps there's a certain type of porn that females like better, I'll have to ask next time I see her.

Congratulations!

You've got mono! [/AOL]

buy a gun and go to a firing range it helps me out and that the family dont piss you off no more when you got a gun

Who cares if it's addictive as long as you can get it for free?

Heh, amazing how this thread about how someone is feeling disintegrated into a discussion about whether porn is good or bad. But I suppose it could help, as humor always does.

Yeah, but what can you do? I feel that way too most of the time, but saying so doesn't really accomplish anything. The best I can do is send out psychic rays of anonymous internet sympathy. Or something.

I just keep on wallowing despite the boredom, not study, realise that my work is due in the next day, put in a monumental effort, and then feel a bit better once that's over. And then repeat ad nauseam. :p

Free Shepmagans may be right... maybe not about the porn, but this does sound like it could be depression. You could try seeing your doctor... there is medication, but, unless it's going to be one of the generics covered by Wal-Marts new drug policy... or you have killer insurance.... it might proved kind of expensive. :(

Could be depression, but before you go see a doctor and start getting all drugged up, consider it might be something as simple as your diet and a lack of energy. Or, you might not be getting enough sleep.

Barring that, try singing some Raffi songs.

I can't speak for all women, but there is certain porn that I prefer. Generally, if it's not too trashy, it's off to a good start. :p

Chin up. :)

Are you by any chance in the final year of your studies? If you are, I think it's quite a normal experience - I know I felt vaguely similar and so did a lot of my friends. I think it's to do with moving on in your mind to the next thing, and so you feel a little bit restrained and disillusioned with the fact that you're still stuck in the same place. When you want to go out in the world on your own, earn some money, do exciting things, it can be tough to motivate yourself to submit another essay for another class.

If you're not in your final year and none of this is relevant, you're probably just crazy. Go with the flow and enjoy it.

Exercise works wonders. Join a gym - cheaper and more effective. Has other notable health effects too. Plus you can check out members of the opposite sex in tight-fitting clothing (or same sex if you're that way inclined).

I'm definitely too broke to buy a gun. And my family isn't what's pissing me off.

Yeah, it is my last year of undergrad, but I've been feeling this way since the summer.

I've never been into porn... could be because I'm a girl...

What about shopping, or dildo's. or whatever it is that chicks like.

That's probably a good idea in theory, although when I had a gym membership I tended to just not go... but if I got one and went then that would probably help me not feel fat a lot of the time too.

Try writing a depressing play. Or an exciting one. Or send yourself into a coma.

Well, you strike me as an Arts student, so you should go where every good arts student goes after uni... The Dole queue.

Yeah, I get that a lot. I think that's half my problem actually.

So fuck you, and cram it with your chosen selection of nuts.

start with improving your diet and exercising. start today.

if you cook your own food, concentrate on fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and meats cooked without added fat. stop eating pre-prepared boxed food.

take a good long walk today. if you can manage to walk someplace "natural" it will help you all the more.

your school doesnt have a gym? how about a swimming pool? i find that swimming 10-20 laps really improves my mood.

if you cant manage that, it means your depression is more serious. you need to talk to your doctor. dont start with pills. you need a real diagnosis from a doctor who specializes in psychological issues. your own doc will give you a thorough exam to make sure you have no physical issues then refer you to a therapist of some kind.

it sucks to be depressed. dont put this off. you deserve to enjoy life.

I don't tend to buy too many boxed foods, and I don't eat meat at all, so buying meat without excess fat isn't really an issue for me. I suppose lately I have been eating Kraft Dinner occasionally, my mom passed several boxes off on me.

I could take a walk, although a bike ride would be more fun... and my school does have a gym, I'm not a member of it, and there is a pool that's free for students, but I'm not sure what the schedule is on that.

I don't know that it's depression, I've just been feeling shitty a lot... and if it is I really don't want meds for it, I've seen how some people have reacted to antidepressants and I'd rather be depressed than attempting suicide.

You hopefully are aware of the fact that depression can lead to suicidal tendencies, though?
I suggest you get counseling of some sort - dealing with depression takes lots of time and effort, something that seems way too much to handle when you are depressed. (Been there, too... had successful therapy, yet I'm still dealing with those moodswings and it really ain't easy. But I have decided that I wouldn't start taking "happy pills", either)

Not eating meat leads to a low(er) iron level - make sure to keep an eye on your diet and try to improve your iron intake. Not only does that help you focus and concentrate, it also improves this "meh, tiredness, not feeling well, I'll stay in bed" feeling.

Other than that, going for a walk or taking your bike for a ride (my favorite choice whenever it hits me too bad) is very good, so go get some fresh air ;)

Wish you all the best - hang in there! http://www.studip.uni-goettingen.de/pictures/smile/taetschel.gif

if you CAN make those changes, eat better and exercise more, then you arent depressed or are only mildy depressed and can deal with it yourself. thats why you should do it today. besides its sunday, good day to get out.

if you make those changes and still feel like crap, you may have some physical problem that needs attention by a doctor. diabetes for example, or lots of other things that need a doctors attention. or you may have some psychological thing going on that a therapist can help you deal with without resorting to pharmaceuticals. your school surely has that kind of therapy available for free or very low cost.

if you CAN'T make these simple changes--meaning you want to but just cant work up the energy to do it, you need to see your doctor. you are either depressed or sick. or both.

depression doesnt always require drug treatment. if that is the first thing your doctor suggests, find a different doctor. if after non-drug treatment it is the doctors opinion that you can best be helped with a drug, it would be silly not to try it. but dont worry about that today. chances are that you will never need anything but a new approach to life.

Have you tried just stepping outside and screaming as loud as you can? Perhaps it could have an effect in snapping you out of your funk. :)

Yeah, I guess I'll go for a bike ride this afternoon and all.

I really don't think my neighbours would appreciate that... but then they yack away outside until 3 am and I can hear them from my room so maybe I shouldn't bother being considerate.

Yeah, I WILL go for a bike ride this afternoon and all WILL BE BETTER.

I feel pretty much the way you do. Alcohol works, to a point. I'm trying to come up with a better solution but maybe you will feel better knowing your not alone in your feelings.

Don't buy into media hype. There is an increased incidence of suicide attempts with some of the Prozac family of 'depression drugs', in some people... but, in typical pseudo-science fashion, the media has spun this all over the place without considering the matter objectively.

(Honestly - as a scientist, I see this every day in the media, in one form or another... it is quite sickening.)

One of the first effects that these drugs have, is to make people feel more energetic.. the effects on the 'depression' level don't kick in until there is a cumulative dosage.

This means, in some people, they are suicidally depressed (they already were, the drug doesn't MAKE them feel that way), and now they have some energy to do what they were thinking about doing anyway.

Anti-depressants aren't giving people suicidal tendencies... that is a 'bad science' analysis of the data.

make sure you keep up your studies, as from bitter experience i felt that way (sounds depressed to me) at uni and gave up on going to lectures. the occasional times i got the energy to try to go back it just made things worse as i was so out-of-touch with what we were studying it was demotivating and depressing in itself.
so try your best to keep up with things

but also recognise that you may have something of a problem and its best to talk to people about it - family or friends. try to get help if you can get your head round that, maybe.

I don't know that it's depression, I've just been feeling shitty a lot... and if it is I really don't want meds for it, I've seen how some people have reacted to antidepressants and I'd rather be depressed than attempting suicide.

after sharing those worries (yes, due to stupid media hype) for a long time, i'm finally on prescribed antidepressants myself, and have been for about 2 months now (after being depressed (probably with dysthimia) for at least 3 years previously). i'm on selective seratonin reuptake inhibitors (citalopram) and i can tell you i'm certainly not a zombie on them. they just take the edge off the bad moods and flatten the moodswings out a lot... not all the time though... right now i feel like crap lol. point is they've helped me a lot these last couple of months, and the people i'm close to say they can see the difference (and only in a good way, too). so don't necessarily buy into the media shite (especially when the zombifying antidepressants were the old ones anyway, and modern meds are much better, or so said my doc), but do research whatever your doctor prescribes before you take any

I get into a cycle where I have work due for one class that I am having trouble doing. I invest several hours in this and end up still doing a slapjob before it's due. The work I could have easily done for another class I now have about three hours to do more than three hours of work. It's always one class that's dragging me down. If I just blow it off though that will screw me even worse (just in that class though).
And some girl was complaining to me that she has to write a 3-5 page paper every TWO WEEKS. WTF is your major? Slacking?

Oh, I haven't been listening to the media about it, one of my exes went on anti-depressants and tried to kill himself a couple of times and thought about suicide a lot more when he was on them than before... so he went off them and was kinda better.

Well, I have been keeping up with my work, even when I don't feel like doing it. I know that emotional states are temporary but my preformance in school can affect the rest of my life and the beginning of the semester is usually the best time to start keeping on top of things (it's a lot easier to do better on assignments when I don't have midterms up the wazoo) plus assignments do keep me busy and sort of help keep my mind off my troubles. Plus if I get an assignment back and I did well on it then it will make me feel better, if only temporarily.

Oh, agreed. Medication might defeat symptoms, but it isn't hitting at the root of the problem, and is likely to be ridiculously expensive.

It could be stress. It could be a symptom of an illness. Or, it could be a chemical imbalance... if the last, you'll probably have to be medicated sooner or later, unless your 'chemicals' mysteriously 'sort themselves out' if you have kids or something.

So - best advice is probably to see a professional, and see what they offer.

Regarding the ex... bear in mind they might just have talked about suicide more when they were medicated, or they may have been too apathetic to think much about anything when they were unmedicated.

talking about thoughts and problems can actually be a sign of getting better. i know when i moved back with my parents last year, for months they thought i was just getting worse and worse, when in fact i was simply getting more trusting and able to talk about the things on my mind... rather than just keeping everything bottled up.

but that was me. might not apply to your bf, dakini, of course

Maybe... *shrugs* I can't really ask him to elaborate further since we don't exactly speak anymore.

I'm sorry, but I believe in natural selection. I'm also pro-suicide under any circumstance. Life should be a choice. I am also deeply moved by the ingenuity of blood orgies. No longer will I have to resort to the box of chocolates that is necrop-I mean...unnecrophelia...

Well, as for depression, I hate that. Go see your doctor. It helps to talk to someone. Work out. Eat carrots. Fuck that, when I get "depressed", I usually don't have medical coverage, or I don't want my doctor to punch me in the face rightfully for being a ballooning used condom of emo, talking to other people only gets me these shit replies because people want to focus on their own happiness, I lay in bed staring at the ceiling an hour or two before I get up (and if I could just magickally get the motivation to go a few rounds in the boxing ring then I think I could magickally not want to blow my brains out), and I threw up carrots through my nose when I was a kid and could smell it for weeks. My diet is fine. Depression isn't feeling sad. Bullshit. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLSHIT
I hope I broke the page.
Saddness is a natural and healthy reaction to a negative environment. A way of the body saying OMFG. One way to react that is unhealthy and dangerous is to be happy, or pretend to be happy even when shit is honestly fucked up. Because you're still in the same environment. And prolonging the psychological fall from heights.
The only other way for it to be unhealthy is our friend depression. Literally not feeling anything at all.
I've always said, depression is wanting to throw yourself off a tall building but you're too tired to walk up the stairs.
Don't any one of you make an elevator joke.
I deal with it by drinking myself alone into a corner for as long as I can each night without impairing my studies. Which is alot of alkohalz. I then begin to feel so much more like shit, diving straight into my fear instead of 'shaking it off' (burying), or focusing on the better thing's in life (avoiding). I let myself feel what's going on, if I feel at all, and immerse myself in it all. Then, I eventually get so sick of going on the way I'm going that I resolve not to be like this anymore. You will work it out. If drinking isn't your thing, find something else. Don't run from the cold. Just feel it for what it is. Whatever, enough philosophy. Just, whatever you do, don't see Requiem For A Dream right now.

By the way, this feeling is rotting. Do anything, anything, just don't sit around -all- the time. And don't be over-critical of yourself. Just don't imagine excuses. Try not to lie to yourself?

I know how you feel, I failed out of a whole semester of school because of feelings like these. I have since learned far better ways of copeing with my emotions.

First, you need to find a healthy outlet for your feelings. Writing them down or talking to friends about it, usually works for me.

Second, you need to be active. Exercise is very helpful. You might also consider changing your routine a little; find some new activities or hobbies to occupy the time you are currently spending alone with your thoughts.

Third, try not to be alone too often. When you are depressed time spent alone is usually not constructive.

That's about all the good advice I can think of at the moment. If none of this helps you might consider getting some counciling as well.
