Ever feel this way? I mean here lately I go to work,take care of family and that's it. I find myself not wanting to go out or do anything . Not to mention that the last week has really sucked personally and there has also been so many crazy things happening lately like the Croc Hunter's freak accident death, that crazy guy who claimed he murdered this child and I saw on the news today that there is still not a damn clue where Bin Laden is five years later . Also, I'm spending way to much time on the Org-I need a pick me up! Is it really this bad?

Come chating with us !

I've been there before.

I know that you feel like you don't want to go ut anywhere but it sounds like you need something to do that is just for you. Take a class in something you're interested in or just spend sometime doing something you enjoy (knitting, reading, bike riding, dancing, whatever). try to get out and socialize a bit.

Sometimes life sucks, that's just how it is, but it doesn't suck all the time.



If yo can't shake the funk, it may be more serious and you would want to talk to someone about it.

I hope you feel better!

It's scary in there .

nurse said:

You sound pretty human to me..

I think we all get blue and down sometimes. I find that stepping away from the org- getting fresh air and journaling help when I am feeling down. Also reaching out to someone you know understands you and who will listen without judging can help. I find that music helps as well...

nurse said:

No. People confuse events taking place as the reason they are upset, when really it is the other way around. Things bother people because they are upset. Unfortunally, events just weight a soul down more.

Life is just day to day. Anyone that tells you otherwise is having to lie to themself to say up.

Count your blessings.

Choose to percieve things objectivly, in several diffrent ways, instead of just negitive context toward you or the world.

God: why is it everyone always get upset when they ask God for something they want and then don't get it. God gives us what we need, not what we want. We are simply just confused in this age as to what's wants and needs.

Thanks I've been thinking about getting into some form of exercise either at the gym or at home, but I haven't picked one yet.I'm hoping I can shake this on my own.

nurse said:

Exercise is a big one too.. has helped me alot...

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Awww! Thanks Supa I need everyone of those 's .

Shanti1 said:

Exercise is a big deal when it comes to regulating moods.

also is hydration.

Drink Water!

MickG said:

That is a tough one for me.. I do not like water.. have to force myself to drink- it is important..

Shanti1 said:

I do talk to my best friend about it daily and I think I just need an environment change,new setting and fresh air. I'm glad to hear everyone say it's normal-I was starting to worry there for a minute

Shanti1 said:

I've found the trick, besides having good water, is to drink an absurd amount of water at one time.

I often drink a leter down.

Make a game of it.

Push yourself.

Sometimes I'll want something. Like a cigarette or a snack, and so I will make a deal withmyself that I can have what I want after I drink the leter.

MickG said:

It is day by day and I do believe that God gives us the things that we need and he knows all things-that does give me comfort. Thanks MickG .

Awww..Its only temporary. we're here for ya. Sometimes all u need is someone to talk to

ThreadCula said:

Awwww! I'm gonna cry! Thanks Thready.

Perfectly normal.

Life is cyclical and it's unavoidable there will be times of sadness and overwhelming ennui.

Seek out new experiences - speak to people with whom you've never spoken before, listen to new music, read a new book, take a day trip to a nearby town and see new sights. Look up an old friend with whom you've lost touch, or organize a get-together with friends and family. These will take a bit of mental effort on your part, to push past the lack of energy you're feeling but if every day you manage just one new thing (no matter how small that new thing may be) slowly your mindset will change and you will begin to regain your sense of interest in life.

Sweetie...we all feel this way from time to time...when nothing in our lives or in the world seems to be right...but, just remember that when things seem the darkest hope is born You're a born and bred Detroiter...you know how we are...bad things happen...people say things about us that aren't true and look down their noses at us...winter hits us cold and hard...people lose their jobs...but, we keep fighting with heart and soul...you come from fierce, hardy stock, my lady...don't forget that...






"Motown" by Darkbuster

Be nice just like Smokey Robinson
Fall like the tears of a clown
Sometimes I wish I was in Detroit
The home of Motown
Singin under a streetlight
Man I hear the coolest sounds
I’m on a roof or under the boardwalk
That’s where rock and roll was found

Sam Cooke the sounds of a chain gang
Marvin Gaye let’s get it on
Odis Redding Wilson Pickett Y’all the list goes on
Martha and the Vandellas
The O’Jays got that cool rocking sound
Hanging out at the Apollo Theater
Gladys took a midnight train to Georgia
And did Diana and the Supremes
Do run, run, run around
Wait up wait a minute Mr. Postman
Won’t you check your bag for the letter you found







I'm standin' in a shadow, hating the world
I keep a wall around me, block out the herd
It's a nerve-wreck place to be, it kills real
Quick
You gotta scrape the concrete off your dick
But we're gonna live so happily
In a faraway place, just you and me
If I don't crap out
The sun will shine and give us a hug
The world will sing like a happy bug
If I don't crap out
No and I won't crap out
I won't crap out

I'm glad I am crazy, it keeps me trying
I despise the trendies, I know
They're lying
If you want to stir up real mud
You had better pay with real blood
BUt the birds will sing a sweet melody
In a couple of green indifferent trees
If I don't crap out
And you're gonna know how fine you are
Gonna write your name on a violet star
If I don't crap out
We'll have a window and we'll have a door
And a reason to be living for
If I don't crap out
And the material singers will fade into dust
Like forgotten merchants of disgust
If I don't crap out
No I won't crap out
No I'll never crap out
Oh I won't crap out
I won't crap out











Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
Shes got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone

Chorus:

And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

Faster than the speeding light shes flying
Trying to remember where it all began
Shes got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when earth shall be as one

(chorus)

Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light

(verse)

And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else shall be there
Through the endless years

Shes got herself a universe
Shes got herself a universe
Shes got herself a universe

And I feel
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

Quicker than a ray of light shes flying
Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying

nurse said:

No problem. I'm in there now if you want to check it out.

nurse said:

I hope your smile shall soon return, dear lady.

ZombieKitten said:

Thanks 4 posting this , but I'm scared to take it because I'm trying to work my way out of it and I know that this will only confirm it.

nurse said:

I thought I was depressed a month ago, so I did another quiz similar, and it gave me a score of 17 out of 50, so it wasn't as bad as I thought, told me I had moderate depressive symptoms, and I have snapped out of it since then, though if this rain continues I will probably get mad
