I am the king of madness.

You got one thing right.

Welcome to my every day life.
I've had this happen to me for around 6 years now it used to be a mood depending on the day but I've now had this 4 months straight.

I have experiences in the past which gave me social anxiety and trust issues so I personally contacted a therapist for it.

I suggest trying to keep going outside and doing outside activities. I personally feel a lot better after doing so, so it might help you too.

If you can't get out of it then contact a doctor and see where things take you, perhaps all you need is to talk and be motivated by someone to do things.

Yeah I think staying social or just in contact with people is the best thing to handle this sort of situation.

There are times when I feel pretty **** but when I hang out with my friends, either IRL on screaming at each other online I don't feel that way.

Hell, I hate to admit it but being in contact with just us degenerates could be enough support.

Just remember that you aren't alone in this world.

Reality is a long history of creation. The king of madness is also the king of sanity.

That so?

In that case, probably should stop acting like everyone else here is insane.

Not everyone shares the same morals and unfortunately, not all minds are rational.

Do not tell me what I am acting like, and what I am and am not.  

K so exercise and eating well is one of the best things that helped my depression.

I think, if you're struggling with weight than doing something like going on a walk every day, or twice a day(depending on what you're up for), or biking around your neighborhood (just finished five miles today) is a great way to work on the sloooooow process of losing weight.

Also adding in my fruits and veggies, while kicking out bad things like chips and stuff, is also a great way to help lose weight. I've been able to lose about 2.4 pounds this week just by eating better and exercising.

It's a great way to fight off depression because exercise releases happy chemicals in your brain, and you feel soooo much better physically afterwards.

Lifting seems like it could help, as it gives you something to focus on. I've never really done it, but from what I hear it's a good thing to incorporate into your life.  

i found a set of boxing gloves and a home-made sandbag. hula hoop, jumping rope, so i was messing around with them for 30 minutes. damn i feel relaxed and sweating a little.

^this would've been a hell if i was with my father. he push it to the extreme and make me hate it.

-cut-a hamster wheel.-cut-

haha i envy your writing skill, i bet you can get full scores on SAT English Section.

i'm glad that i found graal. if i didn't, i still would've found another game to kill my times.
i see graal as a school. school is generally boring, but that changes depends on your classmates.

Seems you've got no problem telling people what they're acting like even if its pretty far-fetched.

I know this may seem kinda personal but does your dad nag on you a lot or something?

no. but if i wanna do something and he knows how. then he pushes me hard and give everything he knows.

he does often says he's going very easy on me compare to what my grandfather did to him.  

Yeah that's happens a lot.

Try not to take it too personally. Its pretty natural for parents to hold high expectations.

My mom constantly drones on about how her childhood was so much harder than mine. I ain't denying it but things are different now.

I suggest setting up an appointment with a counselor. Seeing one has really helped me, so I would suggest the same for anyone who is going through a tough time in their life. They'll help you understand what's happening, help you work through it, and be able to tell if it's actually depression or something else.

I agree. Seeing a counselor was somewhat helpful to me at the time also. I don't think you should necessarily seek help from a doctor, unless if it's to the point where you aren't able to control your life anymore. All they can do for you is prescribe pills, which isn't the best solution imo. Plus antidepressants isn't for everyone. I've had friends who were on them, and most of the time, they end up relying on the pills after they run out/don't use them anymore. Which led them to having more anxiety/depression issues than what they started with. But if that's the route you do end up taking, I suggest starting them from the lowest dose lol.

Seeing from your first post, it seems like you can still fix the problem by changing your lifestyle like others have mentioned on the thread. I honestly think you should fix your sleep schedule as the first step(not sure if someone mentioned it since I didn't get to read every page). I'm not sure how to help you on that, but whenever I have irregular sleep schedules, I usually force myself to stay up until the next day and then try to sleep at 8-10pm. Coffee helps a lot during that time too. I think should join a club at your college/university. I'm sure your school has a club/organization page, where you could look up which clubs that interest you the most. And from those clubs, you'll most likely meet people with similar interests to you once you participate in them, which could lead to you becoming friends with them and spending more of your time around those group of friends.  

Do you feel like your parents are being rude & ignoring you? Why are you so consumed with Graal forums? You sound lonely.

That's interesting to me because over here you'd be referred to counseling by a doctor. Unless you went private, but that would be a fairly expensive option for a young adult. I know someone in America who was referred to CBT after going to a doctor with depression, but the culture of taking anti-depressant (even among children) is well televised.  

Everyone: Here are some ways you can cheer yourself up, feel better

Antago: America is a land of pirates democracy is a lie Graal is the fall of Rome unixmad is evil


OT: As everyone else has said, I think you should find someone to talk to. I think I know how you feel because I feel like that sometimes - lethargic, tired and just feel like doing nothing. I wouldn't call it depression (unless you are feeling sad), maybe just laziness?

I would go outside more, take a look walk and go out with some friends. Your best bet is just trying to distract yourself by exercising or hanging around other people.  

I give him the truth, because the problem is the illusion. Same ole same ole is in the stale, the inspiration is behind the veil.
