Horribly upset. There's a really good chance I'm going to lose my job. I'm hoping I won't because I've had this job since 2006. I dunno what I'm going to do if the company shuts down. :/

I am sorry to hear you may lose your job Midnight::(: I hope it does not eventuate. Can you try and focus on something you enjoy for a while to give yourself a break from the worry maybe?

Thats a good start to be able to name you feelings. The next step is ... well i probably wouldnt know ... sby else may.
Heaps of suggestions no doubt out there, but personally i like/need to keep things REALLY REALLY SIMPLE, and not have multiple options to choose from, as to what to do about these feelings. I just want the SINGLE, BEST WAY to deal with them - nothing else, and until i find that way (& reliably remember to do it) then i prefer to do NOTHING ... but thats just me.

Just confused. With myself. I don't get it. About three months ago I felt about as good as I ever remember feeling. Now I'm going down again, and kinda rapidly. My thoughts are becoming more and more negative. I get so down on myself. Another thing, my mind goes completely blank sometimes. I figure maybe my mind adapted it as a coping strategy, but ahhhh. I'd kinda like my mind to be able to think, seeing as I'm in school. I absolutely cannot take it when I don't perform my best, yet I'm not even making the effort to do so due to pracrastination and perfectionism. All of it weighs especially heavily on me when my mood is so decreased. I feel like I can't function, and then I feel like a complete idiot.
I think I might actually try meds. Gah

Another possibly is that your mind is SO worn-out by the negativity (which drains, unlike positives which boost energy) that it simply cannot think anymore - it has "run out of juice". Or maybe it takes so much effort to think, due to brain "running on smell of an oily rag", that you choose to avoid any more thinking.

Dunno about using meds to fix this. Could they reduce your negative thinking?? Or just "mask" the symptoms of?
The thing about "quick-fixes" are that they seldom are long-term, but quite often they do have unwanted long-term side-effects
--> "Slow-fixes" are usally more natural, and more long-term

When i first posted in this thread here today i was feeling "bored to f**k*ng b*ggery" - thats why i came on here today. Didn't think that it would make much diffrence, but it has taken my mind a bit off the beyond-bored boredom i have been experiencing every day lately. Is only a quick-fix, but better than a no-fix.

These past several days i have been "feeling overwhelmed with feeling underwhelmed" (ie too much lacking stimualtion, another words "crazy boredom"). Can't leave my house. Can't leave pc. Can't allow myself to do anything different (which could "cheer me up"). And so i am stuck in my misery, day in day out. Violence to my soul (& senses). 'F*cked, but aaah well, never mind' is my current catch-phrase which i voice often (signifies that i am feling completely hopeless about feeling better - have given up)
Usually i can handle it, but is only just handling the symptoms - eg by nibbling on junk food (my cheese), constantly busy on pc (my treadmill; never being idle for a momnet so as not to "feel"). Thats really all i can do about my situation & problems, just constantly comfort myself .... aah well, never mind...

This is EXACTLY what I did when I first came home from college during a major depressive episode. I still do it, but not to the degree I was then.

Thats not a good feeling to have!.
It happens, but i'd try get rid this feeling/mood ASAP, as it can go no place good at all, whether you take some form of action or not.
---> Comfort, comfort, comfort
---> Escape this "false negative world"
---> Return to love
But thats just my way of dealing with such aggrovating mind-sets...

Thanks, smallest. (I almost said "thanks, loser" lol)

I think I just need to get my mind on something else, relax, and get a good night's sleep.

If a day "decides" to be bad, then thats not good, and it takes HECK of a lot of work to make it change its mind, if its possible at all!. Same with a season but i suspect thats a bit easier to tackle, as much more time to do your convincing, sucking-up, etc ;)

Actually pretty good today. I'm a bit tired, cuz I helped my sister in the past days with moving. I woke up around 7 am, took a shower. I just had dumplings for breakfast, checked my mailbox and right now I'm listening to jazz. I will do some groceries soon. Monday I can start with my new job, so I'm pretty excited :)
