Anyone as miserable as me these days? If so, what's causing your misery? How are you dealing with it?

not at the moment but in the summer i went into a badass depression for two weeks.
during that time i never did anything but stay in my room all day.
and i never seemed to sleep. even my best friends were afraid to do anything with me because they knew i might freak out at anytime.
crazy times.
now sometimes i'll go into depressions that last a couple days but then they'll go away.
i usually deal with it by listening to music and talking to people

I'm a pizza delivery driver, my car is unreliable, breaks down all the time, that is stressful, I need to look for a new job because of this, I'm 17 and live in a share accomodation house, losing my job means I'm out on the streets,
*stress,stress,stress,stress.

I'm unbearably depressed right now, more than usual... I have no motivation, skipping classes, doing poorly... fuck, I had all the time in the world to study for my psych test today, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Just lots of music and moping... I bet I barely passed it, by like a hair.

i've been pretty depressed for a while now (6 years or so.) It's really sucks...little by little i've stopped doing the things i used to love, i just don't have the energy or will to do anything anymore. i go to class everyday, then lock myself in my room and do pretty much nothing. this messageboard is really the only contact i have with other people. i wish i knew how to change things, but i guess it becomes "normal" after time. i've never been good with dealing with it, so i can't really give you much advise...hopefully you can work it out.

I hear you man. Nothing can depress you like being in school and not getting around to doing your fucking work. This one time it was especially bad, I was cutting classes and lying to my mom and girlfriend about it, staying up late, sleeping late... I thought I was headed for a fucking nervous breakdown. I was starting to twitch and talk to myself.
You just have to kick yourself in the nuts and make yourself do it. Always, always, always, no matter how lazy you are, you will find that it's easier than it seemed not anywhere near as bad as not doing it.
Go! Now! Do! Even if it's just for a hour or less, do fucking something, build momentum, you'll get things done and feel better.

You're totally right... I have two ''huge'' essays coming up in a couple weeks, and it seems daunting... but I'll probably finish both of them in two evenings without a problem. Starting on them is so ridiculously hard... and I always say, ''never again, next time, you're gonna get to work on them EARLY''... of course that plan never works out.

Here's a real interesting tip that seems to work for me...
sleep deprivation
I mean just sleep 5 - 5 1/2 hours a night. Don't knock it until you try it.

depressed people tend to sleep either a lot less or a lot more than average. also, depressed people's appetite either increases or decreases substantially.

This time of year always brings about bouts of depression in me. It must have something to do with the colder air, the darker days, the upsurgence in school work, and the general lack of seeing my girlfriend while i'm away at college. Yes, my fun summer job is gone, i'm in the middle of my sophomore year, and life looks pretty bleak. Christmas, which should be a joyous time of year, is always lonely and empty. And after that there's nothing but frigid weather and no holiday for months. Now you can probably understand why summer is my favourite season.
I wish you all the best of luck in dealing with this difficult time of year. Know that you are loved, and that you are strong enough to pull yourself through whatever may come your way.

i seem to just have no motivation these days. i go to class, and it's like, who gives fuck all? I mean, It doesnt get me anything, I want INSTANT results dammit! I mean, maybe if someone would offer me something to pass, like say I pass all my classes Id get a new PowerMac G4 or something, but otherwise I dont see how it further betters me at the moment. So I dont really care. But ah well, fuck it, Ill just go listen to pulsewidth agian and forget it all......

I think the weather is affecting me too. I go for long walks everyday and I got used to the sun beating down on me, seeing blue skies and big fluffy clouds. Now it's cold and rainy everyday and I can't remember the last time I've seen the sun or a blue sky, skin's getting pale. Any momentum I've gathered over the summer has just halted, shifted the other way. All that on top of other things. Luckily I have Morrissey helping me out. It seems like no matter what I'm thinking about or how I feel, he seems to have written a song about it.

weather definatly affects me
it acctually has a name
S.A.D. (corny eh?) it stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder. With the changing of the seasons, depression comes and goes.
Fall and Winter are my bad times.
hasnt started yet... but im sure it will.
But im on meds, so it helps.
Senior year of highschool was the worst. I wasnt on any meds at the time, although i had been before.
I was so utterly depressed. it was the worst feeling.
I didnt do work, didnt pay attention to anything, even like a conversation with my friends. I kept fucking up in ensemble, cause i couldnt focus (which is rare for me... music is usally the only thing that is constant...)
id come how from school, go straight to my room, and just cry my eyes out. Id stay there until dinner, and sometimes id even skip dinner.
Then id go back to my room and just cry more.
Id cry myself to sleep, wake up the next morning, and get to school late, cause it took so much to convince myself to go.
Repeat process...
but my mom has depression too, so she knew what was up, and dragged me to the doc, and got me on meds.
ive been pretty good since then.
i still get generally depressed in fall/winter...
and have my momments at other times...
i also have panic attacks, and they are pretty much year round though.
and boy, do those suck.

If your misery is long enough and concentrated enough, it eventually turns into happiness because it has nowhere else to go, so don't worry.
