Sidewalk Surfboard Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I've been feeling really depressed and pathetic since yesterday. I keep feeling like I deserve all the bad shit that's happened to me in the past. I know you guys'll scoff at me, but I don't care, I just wanted to write it out.

Summercat Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Have you been drinking enough water? Have you showered, a good cleaning one? Been eating enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And eat something with protein and green veggies if you can. Then drink more water. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summercat Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 2 minutes ago, Sidewalk Surfboard said: How will that help? I often view people as computers, with hardware and software. When the hardware runs normally, the software also runs fairly well. When there's something off with the hardware, that can start to have errors appear in the software. Address the hardware issue, the software issue gets resolved as well. In this case, there is a non-zero chance your body is low on good nutrition and is dehydrated, which can lead to feelings of tiredness and malaise, often leading the mind into depression or anxiety because the body is tired. Getting fluids and fuel into your system can boost your energy levels, and your mind is no longer being depressed by lack of energy. That's not saying your mistakes and faults aren't your own. I don't know them. I don't know if this will solve things for you except in the immediate, but I always feel better once I've showered, hydrated, and fed myself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminal7 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 5 minutes ago, Sidewalk Surfboard said: How will that help? Going without eating can make you cranky/grumpy. It can worsen your emotional state. Summercat has a better explanation. The past is the past - let it go. I'm not sure what those things are, but feeling pathetic and depressed isn't a feeling that anyone wants to see or hear you go through. Nobody deserves half the shit they have to go through. I wish you the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your shitty shit and your rockafire and although mean people might make you want to rip your tits off I do appreciate you. You are a staple of the forum. Also please don't burn your school down okay? I know I sound like your mom. Sorry. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strongbob Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I've always tried to be Mr. good guy and do what's right, and I still had a bunch of bad shit happen to me. Bad shit happens whether you deserve it or not. You should judge yourself on how you deal with life, not on how life deals with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always driving people around in my car, making sure they have enough to eat, stuffing them with cake, and being passive aggressively encouraging. Also I'll take "Ok mom" over "Ok dad" any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flake Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Agreed with the diagnosis/self care stuff. Have you tried to narrow down the cause? When I'm feeling down, there's usually a trail of thought that starts vague but ends with a more specific problem that can be worked on. Even giving it a label can make it feel a lot smaller and more manageable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Because that is what makes life fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosha Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 We all have our regrets. But remember, it's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
