Go out and do something yourself. Staying isolated won't help.

Don't worry, it'll get better.

Go to the local iceskating rink and watch people fall.

That allways makes me feel good :D

Or...you can just pop in Billy Madison, Tommy Boy, or Austin Powers.

That always helps too.

Life sucks man, join the club. We meet everyday at the bar :D Of course I'm too young to get into a bar, but you get my point.

It's been a boring week here too.
Ah well, at least the weekends coming up.
Sit by a high traffic intersection and watch the fender benders :)

We all have days like that, the best thing to do is leave the house, and go do something. Before you know it, you will be feeling better. :)

Some top reasons for depression;

A b-vitamin deficiency (all or one)
lack of excersize
too much excersize
solitude
drug reaction
stress

I overcame a life of depression just to find there wasn't anything in life I really enjoy enough to make it worth living anyway. Some people don't understand this, but I don't have any lifelong hobbies or ambitions.

Some things that can interfere with utilization of b vitamins;

*b-vitamins compete in the stomach for absorbtion, too much of one or more may block another
*alcoholism can decrease your ability to absorb them.
*some foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, cola, ect. can block your absorbtion.
*stress can deplete them
*too much excersizing can deplete them
*they are water soluble and susceptible to dammage from heat and light
*because they are water soluble, it is good to replenish daily
*quitting them cold turkey can cause withdrawal symptoms such as depression.

-I am not a doktor, so please consult a physician (who is trained in drugs by drug companies) instead of nutrition before self administering based on my "perceptions" of the causes of depression. You may also want to study up on nutrition yourself for a safe balanced dosage. B6 alone in high quantities is toxic. Any food or nutrient in excess quantity is dangerous.

"Okay, since life sucks anyway, go out tomorrow and volunteer and spend it helping people. Go talk to old folks at your nearest nursing home. Go help out at an AIDS hospice center. See what a group home for kids needs done that you can do. Mow the lawn of the handicapped lady down the street. Sheeeeeeesh, I am so sick of hearing about how much life sucks from kids who think the world owes 'em entertainment and FUN. Go DO something for some other person whose life really DOES suck and maybe yours'll seem a little better by comparison. Even if it doesn't, at least you'll have accomplished something worthwhile with your time instead of spending it feeling sorry for yourself."


Whew.... Sorry. Nothing like that recycled lecture. Hey, hated to waste it since I scrounged it all up a little earlier tonight to tell MY crabby, bored, "life sucks 'cause there's nothing to do" evil teenage waste of air son. ;)


Umm...now, take out my trash and clean your room, darn it. :p



(See? Your life doesn't suck as bad as you think it does...you're not MY kid...hehehe. Seriously though...try some of the things I suggested. Not only will you feel better about getting out and doing something, but you'll make someone ELSE's life suck a little less.)

I volunteered in a soup kitchen to find people used that food so they could cash in their food stamps for drugs (most of them, not all). When there was any valuable food, the lazy but wealthy volunteers would take it home for themselves (after all they need it more since they own more houses and have higher bills). At least the children were able to eat. I mowed the lawn of a handicapped lady who appreciated the fact that she could get charity from someone who had 1/100000 of what she had in the bank. I spotted a guy holding a "will work for food sign, gave him a $1 (hard work to take it huh), then I watched as every other car went by giving him at least a buck. There was more than a car a minute. At a conservative rate, that would be at least $60/ hour. There is always work out there, and always food available. I did spot a guy looking for valuables such as returnable bottles in a dumpster amidst the yellow jackets. Sheesh... this guy had a rash on his arms. Having worked my way out of homelessness, I had compassion on this guy. He asked nothing of me, and didn't impose on me at all, he moved out of courtesy when I approached him. Those who ask for your help often don't need it, but this type of guy could use it more than them. Imagine all the money wasted to support organized religion, greedy charity institutions, government handouts that keep people dependant on them (subsidized housing that costs more as you make more). For me the best feeling is being able to help someone that won't ask for help for themselves. I've been homeless, you may think that drugs get people there, that is not always the case. Often it's bad marriages, neglectful families, or organized religion that places otherwise good people there.

Go to the nearest gas station and poop on the bathroom floor, the fact that you won't have to clean it up while making minimun wage outta make you happy ;)

I feel the same way 80% of the time.
