Last few days i been feeling really depressed. guess its being away from home and being ill at the same time. cant even lisern to any music to improve my mood :/ (head colds suck balls)
I was feeling like this the day before yesterday. I finally found somewhere to live in London, a house share full of people who ignore me and don't bother to mention birthday parties they're holding in the kitchen directly below me... I was also missing home like crazy. Luckily this week is a reading week, so despite finishing uni rather late yesterday, I got on the first train out of london I could physically be on and came home. So I'll be happy, until I realise I don't have any friends to spend time with. I think it's partly the season though, shorter days, less natural light. Seasonal affective disorder makes me sad.
Tis not that simple, you need a special kind of light to emulate sunlight and even then it's not massively effective, little more than a placebo. Not to mention expensive. If it was as simple as a desk lamp then my ceiling lights would suffice. One of which is directly above my head right now.
Feeling lonely ,it seems that the only thing I do is work, I spend hardly no time with anything or any one els, I miss the feeling of just going out and having a good time,for the past few years all I got was work, and coming back to a empty house, that could allso be described as depressed I guess.
The past week has been pretty cool, so no, I can't say that I'm depressed. But I have been many times in the past. When I feel down and everything seems like shit, what seems to help me is to try to think about all the cool things that exist in the world. Depression is only temporary if you're bent on getting over it.
I have dealt with major depression several times in my life. It's definitely a drain on your overall health and wellbeing. You try to distract yourself, you try to go back to the things you like... and sometimes, it just doesn't work. I understand what you're going through. Try resting more. Try eating better. Refocus your goals, your life. Still, professional help is good in many cases. If nothing else works, at least talk to somebody. It helped me (though I did end up taking stupid amounts of medication). At the very least, you have the support of those you interact with in this community, mate. So at least consider that. I, myself, am relapsing again, so I know your feeling. Still, hang in there. We'll see this through.
this illness is horible. i have had not very much sleep in days guess i should go to the doctor this isnt good atall
Sometimes, hot cinnamon tea with honey and brandy (lacking brandy, tequila) used to do the trick with the more horrible colds. That was my old man's recipe (usually followed with a caffeinated aspirin. I don't know if you have those in your country). It's a fucking bomb, but it will release some pressure on your skull. But go see a GP if it's getting worse, mate.
For the cold, I always find that ibuprofen and/or paracetamol help a bit, they make me feel less grotty anyway
Been feeling a bit down myself lately, though for different reasons. Hope you feel better soon mate! I take it you have man flu? If so, nothing but bed rest, fluids and (in my experience) sweating it out works. I've used whiskey for that in the past; though be careful of the dosage otherwise you'll end up with a hangover and the tail end of an illness. Not a nice combo. Shit one mate...
My hands are a bit cold today because fall's setting in and in addition I just drank all of my coca cola and a new can would mean I'd have to get up and walk 3 steps over to my fridge. FML guys, I'm so depressed.
i know the feeling, i am constantly busy with school and in my spare time trying to figure out how to get money for gas and other expenses. To many things on my mind sometimes i just feel down because i cant accomplish everything i want or need to get done
