I'm feeling pretty empty right now...

There's an awesome blog called 1000awesomethings.com. I go there whenever I'm feeling low. And when I'm feeling high too.

Maybe where your from but when i went to high school (hell im a university now, thats college for you americans) i didnt, and still dont have a clue on how i would go about obtaining it.

You find the biggest trouble maker in school and ask him for weed. If he doesn't sell any, he'll damn sure know where to get some. And if he has even the slightest business sense, he'll oblige. Money talks my friend. That's how it works in America, where both Free Thinker and I are located.

Time will take it's place. Just give it a few days and you'll be at 100%

Escapsists, I need some inspiration and cheering up. Do your good deed for the day.

Watch some "Lano & Woodley"
I just recently got over a bout of depression that lasted a few years and whenever I got really bad, I would watch some. I was in that state where I didn't even want to be happy, but I forced myself to watch it and laughed so hard my lungs hurt. It's Aussie humour so (apparently) unless you're British, it might not work, but I'd still highly recommend trying it.

Try building things out of LEGOs and smashing them, or stabbing things... Yeah.. Stab things..

My girlfriend of a few months just broke up with me, and being as I'm prone to severe depression myself I actually did exactly this rather than indulge some of my more self-destructive tendencies. I heartily recommend it...there's nothing like acting out all your childhood Godzilla fantasies to work off some steam. Except revenge sex. Absolutely nothing.

I don't advise drugs or anything like that.
I advise trying to get in with a different friend group, then find a hobby you enjoy that puts school and relationships out of your head.
AND THEN:
Sit down and turn your music up loud.

Worked for me when I felt like shit!
So I coasted through that one...
and made a blog XD, that helped.

That was the first day. And I thought it put a really nice spin on my problems

My friends have told me to cheer up. A lot easier said than done. Long story short, I'm depressed.
Things really, really haven't gone my way. Public humiliation, the only girl I've liked tore me a new one, a little more public humiliation, and a horrid amount of self-doubt and pity. I tried playing some CoD:MW2 to cheer me up. I started playing, but half-way through I turned off the console, set the controller down and didn't give it a second thought. Last i tried some laughter. Watched all of The Hangover. Not one chuckle.

try going for a run, then run some more, then buy a pair of decent running shoes, and then repeat the first to steps - it worked for me, (and mind you, I wasn't exactly the fit kind of type, I'd never exercised in my life up to that point). It didn't matter that I sucked because I did something that was good for me and ultimately it gave me more confidence.

Actually, anything that brings you out of your daily routines may do the trick as they can help you get your mind of the things that bring you down.

I've had a depression and I, gawd, I know it's though, but just remember that people are there for you and in given time, it'll pass.

Whenever I'm feeling really depressed, I play something that's mentally challenging, like a really difficult puzzle game. Just something where I have to put every once of my thought, and attention into it so I can really take my mind off of everything for a while.

Depression plagues me constantly. Finding something to bring you out of it canbe hard..
You could try watching some stand-up comedy. That never fails to cheer me up. Especially if it's someone like Dara O'Briain.

I have to ask, where did you find that gif for your avatar? I've been looking for that damn animation for ages.

 

[rosemystica]

I've been feeling similarly lately. So I've sunk deep into the warm and oblivious embrace of TVTropes for the entire weekend.

Not that simple over here, the biggest trouble maker smokes, you know, tobacco, thats about it. He was mostly a coward, just simply was a behemoth and an asshole. I would strongly have doubted he would have known anything. Then again, what would i know.

How long do you think your life will be? Is it really worth spending the precious time you have now being sad and depressed? You should be moving on, so you can find what's actually good around you in your life rather then letting setbacks get to you so much.

Why is the length of your life the question? What if the depression problem a result of knowning that however you act is irrelevent since your not going to live anyway?

 

[Mockingjay]

'The Hangover' in my opinion was a terrible film so no suprise there. Could you try making some new friends? It might cheer you up to have new company and it's a great way to meet new potential girlfriends too.

Also,go rent Watchmen,if you haven't seen it.Leaving that cinema I was feeling amazing after seeing it for the first time.

 

[Iron Lightning]

Do you have any neglected hobbies or interests? I know that I feel pretty fucking bad when I neglect my true passions to do relatively unimportant shit. That's about all the advice I can offer, perk up for all us Escapists, will you?

A forum is about the most empty place you could have gone,.....nu I hope you cheer up
