Feeling low?

[RocksW]

I feel pretty bad right now.

My background:
Im 18, in my last year of school. There are massive exams at the end.

I dont have any good friends and im feeling isolated and lonely at school. My sister has a mental illness and the atmosphere in the house is really strained with arguments and all that....
I split up with my ex girlfriend and who has now gone away to college. We used to be friends but arent anymore. She's got a new boyfriend, (who's going to the same university that I want to go to, doing the same course I want to get, and is one of the best in his class...) They're planning to move in with each other next year. Im getting over the jealousy though.

Im getting worried about my school work. I've spoken to my parents which has helped though. I feel sluggish and depressed.



My head is a bit wrecked ATM so thanks everyone. Anyone have any advice? or anything to cheer me up?

This always makes me smile:


As does Mock the Week. [http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mock+the+week&aq=f]

I just listen to the Countdown theme when I'm sad, it makes me happy for some reason. Just listen to TV Themes you enjoyed or remember, it always helps me.

Why did the mushroom go to the party?

...Because he was a fungi!

Its just a girl, youll find a better one in the future.
Get pumped on coffee and red wine, listen to some pumping-up music...and look forward to tomorrow.
Take every second as it comes, you never know whats gonna happen tomorrow, and just try get hyped.

Thats what i've done today, anyway. Ive been going through an 8 month depression and its hit me bad again, but im feeling okay now>.

Hope things are gonna be alright, mate:]

Listen to good music, talk to proper friends, wank and SLEEP. Time heals all wounds and sleep is the easiest way to pass time, plus it ups your serotonin levels.

All that. Or listen to My Immortal being read. Don't read it, just listen to somebody reading it. Their pain is your happiness.

I'll never be able to explain why but this always gives me a laugh no matter what mood i'm in.

If this doesn't cheer you up, then you're sadly a lost cause.

 

[Skorpyo]

You need some happy times then, is that right?

 

[Geekosaurus]

Game away your problems.

 

[T-Bone24]

I recommend Guile's Theme, stat.

Spoiler: Totally not outdated...

Always cheers me up. Just go on a Guile's Theme Goes With Everything binge.

 

[Eumersian]

I found another!

Just relax and take things as they come. Sometimes all you can do is weather the storm. Things probably aren't as bad as you seem to think they are. With everything going on, it probably makes things seem worse than they actually are, so take some time to take a deep breath and go away for a day. Just get out of town for a few hours on the weekend and take some time for yourself. If you have a friend you want to bring along, you can do that too.

How about a picture solution?

Spoiler: It's so cuuuuuuuute!

If not, uhm... How about Dilbert mini toons?

Spoiler: The Ejection Policy' and 'Poor Connection

 

[Edorf]

I'm not a big fan of metal, or rap, or hiphop... but whenever I feel low, I listen to Alive and Kicking by Nonpoint

I'd suggest setting your wallpaper to this: link [http://apofiss.deviantart.com/art/marchin-on-wallpaper-183094101].

through the power of comparison...

"i also just lost my girlfriend, if by lost you mean never had at any point in my life. ive been nice, a dick, ambivalent, codependent, castoff-ish, and myself; ive been all these things to girly girls, bad girls, tomboys, preppy girls, punk girls, shallow and pretty, complex and ugly. im almost 19; ive never had sex, or kissed a girl, or held a girls hand, or had a friend that was a girl. i would assume that i am horribly ugly or something, but then i see far uglier, smellier, useless and shallow men with all kinds of women. im of average build; im not fat or skinny, not particularly tall, and relative to what im seeing, far above most women's standard of handsome. in this and many other aspects of my life, i have done everything and received nothing, all the while seeing countless people do nothing and get everything. im in art college; you can guess that i dont exactly have much motivation to do my best, but my teachers praise my work that i half-asse the few hours before class (never been to art school at all before this btw), which more often than not is better than alot of the work turned in by people who tried. still they are hired over me for various gigs because they know people.

ive given up any hope of ever finding any human being or higher primate that i can relate to, let alone a woman; i have as little attachment to the human race than is, in the cruelest of irony, humanly possible. with no friends, i mostly stay at home, where my father who beat me with a baseball bat as a child for not putting my sheets on my bed has moved in because my grandparents (who i live with) have severe attachment issues; and hes an idiot who got an apartment he knew he couldnt afford."

...i have made your life better.

Cut out the sister and ex bit and we're to peas in a pod.

*sigh*
Tough it out. It will be worth it in the end :3
