I mean having a frown on what comes not, but reverse.

just think about how bad people have it in Iraq, Darfur, Burma .... then you will know that our day to day struggles are not that bad .....
think of all the good things that are going on around you ... and take it from there .... even if the only good thing is running water ....

visiting a shrink is no good unless you really believe it can help - otherwise you'll just be there fencing like a damn musketeer.
Anyway it's either about your parents or the fear of death.

There's no stigma - I'm just with ol' Cruisey Boy on this one - generally, I think psychologists are a bit of a redundant, over-prescribing waste of time.
Unless, of course and as I said, it's really bad - or there's no natural support network. I've known people who would benefit from psychiatric help - but most people who experience bouts of moderate depression? I think not.
Just IMHO, as I'm strenuously trying to point out.

it's usually cheaper to get into a taxi and let it out of your chest - but I'm not sure that applies for London.

(Oct 15 07, 07:05)Good Lord, NO! The exact-opposite is what you should be thinking upon - depression can only be mitigated by hope!
For Fuck's sake, that's a ridiculous thing to say, BattleAxe!
Turn off the news, stop buying the 'papers - get as far away as you can from those evils of reality that you have no control over.
Dig out optimistic/amusing news stories (the internet is good for this), listen to upbeat music, read a good fantastical book - don't mire yourself in more shit.

So your break was just for a day?
:P

Off topic - does anyone else know that the U.S. is this only place has pharmaceutical drug advertisements?
Is that not fucked up?
- Witt0
Don't actually listen to anyone who posted "go drink" above.
Jaline
(Oct 15 07, 19:27)well someone had to be perfect since most of us are not. I'm glad it's you - and I'm not kidding.

well putting aside the 14 yr olds who failed a test and whose mom stuffs with pills and tranquilizers, the lazy dude or dudette who fails to enter the Uni, the guy with bad luck at work, the cumulative effect of binge-drinking and drugs that slowly takes over your actions or expectations, i guess we can call "depression" what some people know as "growing up". the faster you realize this the better you'll feel.
In this sense, the nullity flavorful brought forth as a fucking ninja is quite right, although he should have sell it in smaller packets.
I'm completely sure that was waht he meant, but anyway: thing is, after turning 30, you have to revert you narcissist youth process otherwise you're in for a rough ride.

oops no my break was actually three days if you care.
but i'm bound to five, and no coffee.
- Witt0
I'm completely sure = I'm not completely sure.
- Jaline0
Well, I'm off to bed because I have a class early morning :z
Goodnight :)

Der.
Janne I seem to remember a similar thread like this awhile ago and I am pretty sure you had the same exact things to say to me.
Maybe after this thread if I have nothing good to say to someone, I just won't say it.
I will have to perceive what others think is good to say first off of course...
- Witt0
I'm not happy though so I don't know what the effort amounts too.
something good? should I stop beying me?
hard Q.
- grunttt0
go look in the mirror and repeat after me...
At least I'm not flavorful...
...or flavorful's boyfriend.
- flavorful0
Oh cheese and peas.
The first time I don't write "haha" in a post to imply I am joking.
Now I'm depressed that everyone knows of my little heart coupled with wee wang.
Actually, what you should probably do is just go to the nearest mirror and stare into your eyes/soul for a good while. Think of all the bad things that have happened to you in your life, and how ugly you are. Stare at yourself realizing how hopeless and insignificant you are in the world, and more importantly to the world of those around you. Think about how if you died, most people would not only never notice, but wouldn't even attend your funeral or think about you ever again. Think of the cookie cutter eulogy you will get, because you have made absolutely no connection with any other human being during your time on Earth, and how you would have been better off being an abortion or a blow job.
And then slit your wrists.
Get fucked.

(Oct 15 07, 07:12)well said Nairn,
if you're feeling down, the pain and suffering of others is not likely to cheer you up.
Personally even seeing traffic and wondering how on earth there is enough iron in the world to produce all the buses, cars and lorries is enough to make me feel worse, let alone thinking of wars and famines.
Going outside helps, as does exercise, getting out of breath does wonders for the mind!

all kidding in front of us .. i love flavorful!
- Witt0
too = to.
well then goodnight J. sleep under the secular-of-clouds, as we used to say around here.
Secular-of-Clouds is a PT pagan god who protects sleepers, ramblers, adventurers and fools. I'm certainly included in the above.
