Depressed, Anyone?

Ever had one of those days were everything just seems wrong? Not goes wrong, but just seems wrong.. The smallest mistake makes you think of cruel things, without every doing them. You know.. Your Girlfriend says something she thought was funny, but you don't think so.. And you think that she is a *****, or your parents just tell you to tidy your room, and you wonder what a combat knife is used for.. You know... REALLY morbid thoughts!(Probably not as wicked as the last one, but just to make sure people get the drift)..

Today i'm having one of those days. People say something, and i wonder why noone has ever sowed their lips together. I really feel the anger just.. try to get out, but something is holding it in.. Maybe psychopaths just don't have that thing that keeps it all bottled up inside.. I'm glad this feeling always goes away again for me.. But right now it's really hard and evil.. It's like every time something isn't in my liking, it ends up with me picturing them just suddenly move, lose their job, etc. I don't wish for them to die, just to feel a little less, happy about themselves.. And i don't know why i think that way, because with my regular mood i wish the very best for my fellow man! But when i get into a reeeaaal depressed mood, i'm really a friggin ***** myself. And i even wonder if this is good to keep inside myself. It's good for other people, and probably best for me when you think of what they'll think of me afterwords.. But thei've probably thought the same of me when they've been in the mood.. Not that that makes it okay though.

Sometimes i wish it was all over when i get into this mood, just to know what is in the afterlife.. If there is one, because i feel there is so many limits to the human body. So many things we can't do ourselves, this can't be all.. This is corporal Punishment! At the least it is for me.. I'm not gonna kill myself though, don't take it the wrong way.. I know theres a way out of this, and i'm just waiting for it go to go away again.. I even had a good morning! But suddenly.. I talked with my parents, and they really have a "LETS MAKE HIM INSANE!!"-thing going on lately, 85 % of all words spoken to me is when they make fun of me, or are telling me that i'm not doing enough stuff, when all they ever do is sit there and watch TV. They say "You only do stuff in weekends!". They haven't learned that homework takes a lot of time, and when i've done it i wan't to relax. And i've tried to tell them that, and the always answer with "That makes sense.. Ok then", and when they are feeling for it, lets go for a Son-Hunt!.. They don't drink or do drugs though, thank god. Maybe that would get them off my back though, but i'm guessing this alternative is somewhat of a lot worse, kids in that situation probably want to pay gold for what i have.. I've even though of moving to another country just so that i can get some piece and quiet, after i'm educated though. My sister even defended me today while they were yapping, i'm glad she did though, it was awfully nice of her, i was about to burst! If she hadn't had said something, i would have stood up, put my plate away, and just told them all that i dislike about them, they are good parents though, i'm guessing they are just having one of those Fases, but if it goes on for a long enough time, i won't be able to withstand it anymore.. !!

I don't even think anyone is still reading this, so i'll just stop now before i seem to much like a sick retard... I'm off.

exercise...

I dunno if you've read my post in the Truth thread, but I also get angry very easily. the way I see it is a build-up of energy inside and it has to be released.
Whenever this happens to me, I try to let the build up of negative energy get released and a good way was to do some exercise. I started by going for a jog outside, and then it turned into going to the gym and working out.

It's up to you, really, but even going for a walk makes a world of good. For me, I can feel the buildup in my chest ready to explode. I don't think it's a good thing to force it down. Some day it might be to much and it will all come out in a bad way.

Anyways, I thought I'd let you know what I have learned myself, since I have been in similar situations with my parents. My mom in perticular drove me nuts until I moved out.

On the flipside..

Well there is the anger, but there is also the depression. So i'm not up to anything.. I'm even so.. down that playing computer makes it worse, so all i do is stare at the screen and reply people on msn. Not really bringing anything new to the conversation, but just letting people know that i ain't dead..

Most Teenagers has got a lot of problems, and my came a lot later than everyone elses, but it feels like it's clogging me up.. Filling me to the edge with all bad feelings that has ever existed. It is not good.

Usually, when I say to someone that I understand their situation, it's because I've also been there. I am past my teenage years now, but I still remember them vividly.
I guess I just want you to know I understand you.
When you are so down you don't want do to anything, that is the time it is most important to actually kick yourself and get up. Even going for a walk in around the neiborhood helps... it really does.

If you have what it takes to get yourself up and do something, you'll be happy about yourself after.

Just remember that your hapiness should not depend on other people. It should depend on you. You can make yourslef happy if you want to. It's all a matter of choice. You can choose to sit and chat on MSN or you can choose to get up, get some air and feel better.

Hope this helps.

Don't close your heart..

Hmm.. Thanks for the good advice, but you might have a bigger will than i have. My will at the moment is under the surface, way under the surface..

This shouldn't be a self-pity thread though.. But i can't help but just sit here and collect dust. The only good thing about this is that i've talked to some people i haven't talked to in a while, people i forget who were, people who felt like i didn't like them nomore.. So i've rekindled a few friendships, so thats good.. But still i'm here dead as a mushroom.

But i'm hoping that tomorrow will bring a new spirit to this wailing corpse, and i'm very thankful that you are trying to get me out of this position and on a way to a better spirit, even though we had some VW trouble.

VW trouble or not, forgotten with time in anycase, and all not that important, you still are a human being.
And I don't see this as a self-pity thread, just someone who's going through a hard time; just like everyone else on this planet.

In any case, I'm sure you'll feel better tomorrow.

It sounds like what you've done is make a decision to feel bad right now, and sometimes that's okay.

It also seems like you have a pretty decent outlook in that your parents tick you off, but you're not saying that you hate them etc.

I think you should try to take Conan's advise and go outside. Get some sun, some fresh air and get moving. You don't need to go sprint a few miles or do a marathon - but just go change your scenery.

Sitting there doing nothing will only motivate you to continue doing nothing but if you get yourself going who knows where you'll end up

Make the decision to kill this bad mood

But don't worry, you're not alone, we all have days like this

Well when you have does days, you don't think "i'll just go for a walk", because then you aren't that down.. Because you have the mental strenght to surpass the sadness.. But sometimes you don't have the power to make such Decissions.. You have the power to just do nothing.. What i'm doing is waiting for tomorrow, actually i might go to bed soon, but i'm currently talking with some people.

Walking maybe doesn't cut it for everybody?

The idea isn't so much the exercise (altho exercise causes your body to release Endorphins, its own natural "feel-good' drug so I highly recommend it!) I'm just thinking that right now you're sitting there at a computer holed up inside and that environment isn't one that's especially cheering.

If your in one place and feeling bad, I'm merely suggesting that if you go someplace else, maybe you'll feel better

There is nothing wrong with going to bed and starting fresh tomorrow either! But if you feel this way again, you should try to do something to change things up for yourself

You won't know unless you try. Only you can make you feel better in this situation. Take control of your life and therefore take control of your emotions.

By staying there, it's not helping. So try something else!

Hmm

I know exactly what you mean both Conan and TheRealDeal. I was once that way all the way through my military service. I hated everyone. I would wake up in my barracks and my lieutenant would stop me to ask if I was ok because I looked so angry in the mornings. I really don't know why that sort of thing happens. I only know what I did to get rid of it. It took me probably 3 years to get rid of it. I would go on a run sometimes and sometimes I would play Diablo and kill as many monsters as I could for hours and hours but neither of these helped very much. I finally found going to a concert the best medicine. Whenever I would go to a rock concert I would meet and see so many other people who simply hated everything the way I did and only wanted to dance to the music. The more I danced, the better I felt. Eventually I would have no more energy and I felt so good inside to let it all out.

My suggestion = go to a concert and talk to people. I think that's the best way to get the hatred and anger out.

Now your'e speaking my language!

Sometimes you just have to envelope yourself with music; concerts or maybe just turn up the music in your room and invite your friends (whatever works). For myself, I can't afford to spend $45 per musical performance where I live; I just listen to my CDs and try to rest away the feelings. If I feel particularly driven by what I feel at the moment, I'll pick up my guitar and try to sing about whatever's going on in my mind. If I like what I hear, I might even write it down for later. I recommend it especially if you can't find anybody to talk your problems to.

Combat Knife Usage

The RealDeal wondered (in his initial post):
Quote:
..and you wonder what a combat knife is used for...
In the military, a combat knife is designed for use in close proximity with your enemy, better known as hand-to-hand combat.  However, a combat knife is more-often-than-not used as a last resort, as the goal is to kill your enemy before he can get within close combat range, which is why rifles and pistols are the preferred weapons of choice.  Now, there will always be exceptions to this, in cases such as covert operations and insertion/extraction missions, where stealth and close-range engagements are vital to mission success.  

Also, combat knives can be very intimidating and even persuasive, especially when it comes to enemy capture and interrogation.  Just the sight of a sheathed combat knife (without intention to use) can cause an enemy combatant or prisoner to have second thoughts about fighting/surrendering/escaping.  Sharpening the blade in plain view and then slicing through a box or can as if it were a stick of butter can also evoke some scary thoughts as well.

Also, a combat knife performs well as a utility knife, in cases where you may need something sharp and sturdy to cut a piece of rope, cord, or wood.

Fortunately, I found the best usage for a combat knife to be its wonderful ability to help open my pre-packaged, vacuum-sealed Meals Ready to Eat.  Sometimes the packaging is slippery and difficult to open with your hands, not to mention that the combat knife can give you a nice, straight opening in the top of your Beef Stew or Potatoes au Gratin packet.

p.s. - It is always a good idea to clean your combat knife after each use, and while you are at it, you should put a very light coat of lubricant/protectant/oil on the knife's blade after each sharpening...nobody, especially me, wants dirt or rust in their Teriyaki Chicken meal packet.

But, as many of you know, there´s one solution for it... (I leave it to your own imagination)

.. I almost laughed when i read your post, it was a lenghty smile

Well, today had a good start. I started as a neutral kid, i went to school.. And i was actually pretty happy, not HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY, but long from depressed. But as i was about to go home, first of all.. i didn't catch the bus, plus i ended up with one foot only sock-protected in some deep snow, so i was pretty angry. So there i was, my one foot as a ice block, 2 miles of walk before i could get to a busstop which had some place around my house as a destination..(only 2 times a day a bus will leave from my Highschool in my direction... If you don't catch em, you have to go to the train station.. which also has busses..)
So after my foot defrosted(which took a long time) i started walking towards the train station(and remember i'm handicapped aswell, so it was no picnic).. But i still didn't get depressed, now i just had the anger.. So i was pissed off, but the time went quickly as my mind wandered.. When i got home i talked with some peeps on msn(we have a project in school, so we had to coordinate and stuff..) Then i ate, then i took a bath, then some more project, and now i'm here. I'm not as pissed off anymore, but thats because i'm REAAALLY tired.. But i think both bad aspects will be gone 100 % tomorrow.. =) .. Back 2 my homework.
