    ive had it, but probably pretty small time compared to most of yall. it still sucks tho. And when i think about it, its root causes seem... not stupid... but something i could have easily dealt with before. Its strange.

    Even now, when i talk about it so rationally, it seems to disappear, but it always seems to creep back over a variable period of time. Its gotten much better tho, ever since i achieved closure with a girl i know... but its not gone. Ive sorted out many of the other sources too, yet it stil lingers... i think the girl is still the cause, which makes me feel rediculous. The only way to completely cure that part would be to completely cut myself off from her, but we are good friends, and that would be terrible...

    Ill be kind of moving away this summer tho, so hopefulkly i can meet new girls... but its so hard...

      Thanks for all the posts people, I'm always bowled over by how many people have similar problems, since no one ever brings it up in polite conversation. It took me awhile to even hit the submit button on this thread.

      Never really had a decent social life, but I've slowly improved as time went on. I used to look at friends and girlfriends as a way to get rid of the problem but they usually end up just being distractions from it. When I'm with them I can pretend there is no problem, yet I go home and its still there.

      I would reply to more of your great posts but I gotta run. Be back later.

        Basically drank for five years straight to deal with my severe depression from '97-'02. Im 33 now, and came to the realization that handling depression almost requires a holistic approach (without medication which made me feel worse).

        Lift weights and mountain bike. Eat well. Meditate. Write in a journal and do a lot of creative writing. It's amazing how much people allow themselves to become separated between body and mind, and then turn to a doctor and say "fix me". You have to invest in yourself every single day.

          After my dad died I drank too much got very lazy and was prone to anger of very trivial things(It would normally need a truck to go thrugh my front room to get me worked up). It lasted about 3 months.
          Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

              I can't help you with a way to cure the problem, I haven't found that yet. Anti-depressants didn't do it for me, I felt like I wasn't myself, like I was drugged, probably cause I was!

              But my advice for doing the day to day stuff is to have a routine. I do my grocery shopping at the same time each week, I generally talk to family at the same time, etc. Since I seldom ever feel like doing anything this forces me to get things done.

                Since my boss died and the future of the practice where I work is still quite up in the air I've been getting anxious and depressed. Some people have suggested that I buy the place, but I'm not sure about it. We're a small practice surrounded by a mammoth practice that utterly dominates a three county area. In the past few years we've been losing ground. I just hate the idea of uprooting my family.

                    Got depression?
                    Nope, never had and I hope I never do. I guess I've always just had a positive out look on life.

                        Depression sucks so I don't bother with it anymore. I just drink lots of alcohol so that I forget how big of a loser I am... works for me

                        Hell, eveyone is a loser, so I guess me being a bigger one has really done wonders to boost my ego...

                          Unfortunately, this is one of the problems I have. I drink much more then I should. I only get totally loaded like once a month or so but I still end up drinking like 2-4 nights a week.

                            At least you aren't depressed

                            When people ask me how much I drink I tell them "all of it."

                              i dont drink or take drugs. i wanna deal with this on my own. My grandparents didnt have any fancy smancy drugs or shrinks. They just dealt with their hard lives. I have it SO easy compared to them, if i still cant do it, then i AM a loser. But i can, it'll just take time and thinking. I am gaining ground. Some days, like today, I even wonder if its gone... maybe it is.. maybe the stinking cloud will come back... but i will win in the end.
