This is going to sound stupid, trite, and hollow. But I'm going to try to make a real effort to be happier. Fuck where I am in life or what I'm doing. I deserve better than to be always depressed!

I don't think it sounds stupid, trite or hollow. But follow through with it.

Yeah I'm going to make an effort. Hopefully medication will help too.

I spend too much time feeling sorry for myself. I know the list of "pathetic" things in my life is long. But I don't spend enough time saying, fuck it why can't I be happy anyway? Even without a job, gf, living etc, I STILL deserve to be happier than I am. Besides which I will never get any of those things if I remain as down as I am now.

Do you work out regularly?

I was until I injured my foot about 3 weeks ago. Seems mostly healed now so I should get back to that.

I was doing about 40-80mins a day on the treadmill at a slow but steady 3.5mph at a 10% incline. That's not even a run, fast walk. But when you take into account the 10% incline and my current weight 230lbs it's a good workout. It was enough to get me drenched in sweat and felt good.

Anyway I'm off to see a terrible movie :awe:

Going to see Immortals with my father. At least I'm in a good enough mode finally to go see something. Not in the mode for a thinking film right now.

You know what? That is a great idea!

At my last job, I was tired, frustrated, and frankly, overwhelmed. There was a lot of negativity around me -- people (including me) complaining about the company and other things. I finally decided that I'd had enough and was going to try to be positive from now on and it REALLY helped me.

Unfortunately, I've fallen back into the negativity trap and need to kick myself in the ass again.
