****Official**** depression thread (1 Viewer)

hate my job. hate florida. can't wait til summer until I can move back west. Probably Seattle

 
I AM here.

Told my doctor I was depressed, angling for some pills. He told me to "man up".

Guess I'll just keep drinking. That should cheer me up.

 
Actually life is pretty good here as well, I just went to sleep at 5 am and then had to wake up at 10 am to take a test, have a class in 45 minutes, and then leave for work.

 
I'm going through a rough time in my life right now. Lots of stress. Still have my family and health though. It's funny, with everything that is going wrong for me of recent, there is always someone saying "other people have it worse". Now I know this is the case, but can I not feel bad for myself until I have it worse than anyone else in the world?

I know I'll look back on this time of my life in a few years and wonder why I let it affect me like it is. But for now, it is becoming very difficult.

Days are getting shorter, temperature is getting colder and I'm getting older. Can't wait for about 6 months and for things tp calm down again.

Why the stress?
Finances- selling my primary residence and having a new home built. Couldn't have picked a worse time to do this. Have 2 rentals. One, the tenants are 3 weeks late on rent. And the other, the tenants are breaking their lease and moving out. Just a lot at once and is making things tight on my income.My dog tore her ACL a couple weeks ago and is in week 3 of her forty week rehab program. This is also a problem when showing the house because we can't just take her out for a walk like we used to.(Taking her in for surgery made me cry for the first time in over 15 years. She is my best friend.)Found that two of our(me and my wife) close friends are divorcing. During this time their true characters have been exposed and they have shown to not actually be friends of ours.A few other minor things here and there that add up also. Just going through a really rough string of luck.

:confused: Things just don't feel the same. I go through the same motions day in, day out. But things just don't feel the same. :lmao:

Solutions/Brightside1. You could always sell the rentals and lose the headache. You don't have to be a landlord to make money. Personally, I wouldn't want the headache of tracking down rent every month.2. Look at Jamal Lewis. She'll be better than ever and might even go on break the single season rushing record....at least you still have her around.3. Ef 'em. You don't need them. Let them miserable alone. However, divorces bring out the worse in people. Maybe they are doing things now that they will regret later.

I wake up, it's dark. I get home, it's dark. It's too cold to be comfortable doing things outside. I used to get so much done after work in the summer. Now, I get home and sit around the house almost waiting for bed time so I can do it all over again tomorrow.To make things worse, I'm eliminated from my fantasy leagues even though I'm high scorer and 2nd high scorer in two of them. I have the most points against me in both leagues. I was looking good in my third league up 30 points last night. Guy I played had Randy Moss. :ptts:

Thanks, and I agree on all accounts. I do have equity and could sell. Again though, not the best time for that and I really would be selling low.She's getting better already. When it first happened I had someone tell me "my dog went through the same thing. She could never play fetch again." I wanted to punch him in the mouth.Maybe, but their both moving away after the divorce and I doubt I'll keep in touch or even speak to them again. It's almost like having two friends pass away in a sense.
 
I am not real depressed, but will just complain a little.

I live in Phoenix. I like snow, mountains, streams teeming with trout, trees, wildlife and an absence of people. I live in Phoenix.

You should move to New Mexico. I'd move to New Mexico, except that I'd have to fly into and out of Albuquerque airport. I did it once, and I ain't doing it again. Never been more scared in a airplane before.

Found water on the 1st floor toilet seat cover the other day. Couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Through some intense investigation(last night until 1am) I found that I have a pipe leaking upstairs from the shower. The water is coming from the cold nozzle and running behind the wall onto the floor where it is collecting in a corner and dripping to the cieling of the downstairs bathroom. From there it is navigating to the exhaust fan and dripping through the vent straight down to the toilet. If the cover of the toilet is open, there is no evidence. When the cover is closed I have a mess. Working on that this afternoon.Wife was going to work and her car wouldn't start. Hoping it's the battery. I'll be working on that in between the plumbing issue.Update on earlier stresses. Had a guy sign a lease to rent my current primary residence. Deadbeat renters still haven't paid, won't answer or return calls and have not "been home" when I knock on the door.
 
Though I'm not depressed, thought I'd contribute a Woody Allen quote for those who are:

Life [is] full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.
 
Okay couple things, and forgive me if I come off has lecturing or anything like that. Depression is horrible to experience, no doubt.

Alcohol is the worst thing to be using if your depressed. It will only exacerbate your depression.

Cannibis is better then alcohol at low levels it may even raise your seratonin but more then a small amount can have the opposite effect and reduce your seratonin levels.

I have seen posted by several men the discussion of not feeling anything and basically living life emotionaly dsyregulated. Your emotions manifest in some way. OFten times men who shut down emotions just get angry a lot. Anger becomes the comfortable emotion. And supression of emotion could at some point result in increased depression, from what I have observed.

You don't necessarily need medication to overcome depression but it can be very helpful. Finding a therapist to work through thought patterns and repressed emotional triggers is also helpful.

These are just quick comments.
