Every weekends, every holidays its the same thing: I'm idle and I get depressed. I'm actively looking for a job so as not to feel like that. Anybody feel like that? How to cure it? :(:confused:

I kinda get the same way, i work 5 days a week, and i feel pretty 'normal' during that time, but when i dont do anything on weekends i get pretty depressed, its hard to find things to do that cheer you up, however even small things that keep you occupied for a little while help me..goto the store, rent a movie, talk to someone on the fone, hang out w/ a friend...

You need to be revved-up, eh?

I need something like that. My life's pretty boring. I feel trapped. :(

Exactly the same problem Juniper

I feel like my life is really missing something. Weekends are depressing.

My theory is that during the week, I am distracted by the work, but come weekends, I reflect on my life, and realize how much it sucks.

Yeah, I guess I'm sort of the same way. I'm always saying how school can be so boring and stuff, but on weekends (like this 4 day weekend, we got Thursday and Friday off from school and then the weekend) I'm not really all that happy and like Cmin7 said, it seems like something's missing.
It seemed like when I first got the internet back in 1998 it was just so cool, now it seems like there's nothing to do besides AT and occassionally some CS...

For some reason the song The Grand Illusion by Styx seems to cheer me up sometimes ;)

What is depression and what kind do you have? There are depressions which envolve brain chemical deficiencies. How that happens, I'm not sure, but there may be a genetic component. More typically, depression is usually seen as supressed self hate, unconscious anger dirrected at the self. The cure, of course, is to get in touch with your feelings. That will likely be very difficult because, in the fools world we live in, upside down to reality, feelings, and feeling feelings is thought to be a sign of weakness. Naturally it is. When you hate yourself, do you imagine any opinions you have about reality are valid or healthy for your self. Of course not. When you hate yourself, you hate anything that's healthy or will lead you to self healing. Remember, too, that nobody else wants you to get well either. That would just leave the rest of us in our sh!t pot up to our noses with you making waves.

However if by some strange accident, you happened to stumble on some good advise, it might begin by pointing out that you have been taught to never express anger. Angey children are bad children. They make demands to be alive. Children must not be allowed to be alive. They remind us that we are dead.

So if you really want to solve the depression problem, make sure you aren't a chemical type and find a therapist who understands the suppressed feelings angle to this and let it all hang out. It will feel like dying, because it will cause you to remember when you did.

Alternatively, you may prefer one of the millions of sleeping pills our society offers to avoid self contact.
