I'm feeling really low and struggling to focus on anything.
Has anyone else felt like this?

Yea, for the most part of this year. I think I should have gone to the doctors about depression really. I feel OK now. They say if you feel that way for longer than two weeks, you should seek help. It might not be ultra serious but you never know. It's all about chemical levels in the brain...

You should probably buy a gun, or at the very least a lot of sleeping pills.

Hang in there.
Sometimes It helps to jolt your a bit by doing something new. Make a conscious effort to take a less rigid perceptual stance on things too.

I know it doesn't help in any form, but I tend to drink a lot when I feel that way.

work it out with a professional who will offer you an objective view so you can live with your bettering self. Why wait?

I thought I was having a heart attack today at my desk...
Turns out it was just ventricular ectopics. Felt depressed for a bit but once I got out of the hospital I felt better about my random lower chambers.
Things arent that bad, work to live dont live to work.

and a little wang.
aye, chubba I feel like that too sometimes, especially with the onset of winter. A word of solace though, everyone I know who feels low sometimes is also capable of experiencing much greater joy than those who never feel low :)

what is the root of your problem? why do you feel this way? Start there and fix that. If in doubt go get booze. It makes for a great bandaid!!!

I, too, have been there.
I just tried to accept that this was how I felt, for however long, and didn't try to escape or avoid it

I think I am in that mood at the moment, nothing is going right, everybody wants a piece of my arse, my job is ok, but doesn't dazzle me.
Fuck, is this what lifes about!
Time to start thinking about numero uno!

(Oct 15 07, 06:46)Great words, mx. All of the friends I trust, respect - indeed, have love for, are the ones who occasionally go off the rails a bit.
It's the human condition, or at least, is for the intelligent, sensitive ones who think about things.
If I were you - I'd try and go on a trip somewhere - be it a holiday, or a walk around another town. Detract yourself from your day-to-day surroundings - remember what it is to live, to love, to learn.
Unless you're truly down, genuinely contemplating bad, bad things, and have no one you trust to talk sincerely to, I'd hold off from seeking professional assistance. VERY MUCH IMHO, of course!
