Really terrible. I think I'm starting lose control. I don't remember what I said, what really happened today from what I just made up in my mind. :

So you're after a boyfriend to just share your life and keep you company? That's not a bad thing, really. Hopefully you do find that special someone.
You're probably over-thinking how you act in a conversation, and relaxing is the best way to combat that. Not everyone can keep up with conversations, especially if they're rapid and flowing quickly, but if something is said that interests you, that's where you can join in.
This is great news, Phoenixx. Always like to read posts about this.I think my depression streak has vanished.
I'm feeling pretty good right now. Also, when I woke up this morning I didn't have to completely force myself out of bed.

I feel quite clean and refreshed after a shower. I wish I could give myself a manicure and put some new nail polish on, though (but I can't, because all my tools are at my apartment in Chicago and I got stranded at home in the snowstorm).

It's Friday night. While people my age are out and doing whatever they do, I'm at home, listening to music and spending way too much time on the Internet. I will be going out tomorrow, depending on the weather.
I don't know. I feel empty. I'm regressing even more recently: not wanting to go out or do anything. Keep to myself. I didn't get a job I thought would be great, even after recommendation from a friend to his boss. I'm in a hole and I am struggling to see the escape.
On a lighter note, I did eat healthier today than normal. I doubt I can keep that up (wrong attitude, I know), but at least that made today somewhat successful.
I hope everyone else is doing great.

Hey Mikey - I think we're the same age and so I can relate to how you feel when you mention staying in on a Friday night. It feels as though the rest of the world is out there having a party but in reality, they're probably not. More people than you think will be doing just as you are. Or maybe they're watching t.v instead of the computer. It doesn't matter, the important thing is not to read too much into it, especially if you're out tomorrow anyway! I hope you have a good time.
I'm sorry to hear about that job, but you shouldn't feel too disheartened. Maybe the person who got it, just had a weeny bit more relevant experience or something, or some other reason like that. For all you know, you could've been a close second. I know it's easy to feel discouraged by rejection from jobs, it defined most of my 2011, but the way I see it is that if you don't get a job then it means it wasn't right for you for some reason. You just have to adopt the mentality that the next vacant role you see, will be even more up-your-street, and keep on trying until you get something. That's what happened to me.
Eating healthy is a massive help too even if you don't notice the effects immediately. Exercise as well is just as good to help us get out of 'ruts' occasionally.
I hope you feel better soon. Just keep determined. That's half the battle.

Yeah, very true. I'm just a little concerned about how much I am choosing to isolate myself lately. Yeah, I'm going out tomorrow night (Sydney if the weather's good), but I know I will not enjoy it, and I'll want to leave. Eh, that's just my mood at the moment.
Heh, to be honest, I didn't expect to get it. My CV is atrocious and I was banking on my friend getting me the job through him. I guess it didn't work. I have a job now but I'm stuck in a rut there. I'm not really sure what to do. Did you end up getting a job in 2011? (Sorry, I can't remember.)
That was one of my goals for 2012 after eating myself through depression in the back half of 2011. I haven't exactly gotten that in motion yet, and that upsets me that I can relapse so quickly.
Thanks, twiggle. I appreciate the thoughtful reply. How are you doing?

It's not uncommon to feel that way either, but don't discredit yourself - the important thing is that you're going, and stepping outside of the comfort zone a little. The longer we isolate ourselves the harder it can be to integrate. You might not enjoy your night out, but at least you'll be integrating again and it'll break up the recent isolation.
Do you have a long-term target? A particular field you'd like to work in? Perhaps you could look into courses related to it or something, or volunteering. Write down where you want to be in 5 years time and brainstorm any ideas you have that you think can get you there. Gives you a sense of focus.
I got a job in the end yeah. I had loads of rejections from what people would described as 'mundane, minimum wage' jobs but in the end I got a job which, as fate would have it, is also the most suitable for my chosen career and will be great to put on my C.V. It's funny... it makes me glad I got all those rejections because if I hadn't, I wouldn't have found this job.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that things really do happen for a reason. I doubt your C.V is as bad as you think it is, you seem like a really intelligent guy with a heap to offer the world, but perhaps this can remind you that you need to put the power back in your own hands somehow, rather than 'bank' on a recommendation from a friend. Do you know of any careers advisors you could go to? It might help you realise how to put the power back in yourself.
Even the biggest fitness fanatics can find it difficult to resist the temptation of junk food. It is more tasty. Maybe try cutting things out gradually. Or allowing yourself to really indulge once a week or something.

No worries. I just want you to get back to being your normal positive self
I'm okay. Just trying to knuckle down with life at the moment after the over-indulgence and laziness of the holidays!

Feeling anxious about this weekend, have a lot of things to take care of and grocery shopping, bank, legal office, etc so a lot of going out and dealing with people. Woke up in the middle of the night with bad stomach pains, feeling a bit sick :-/ but I'm alive and it's sunny outside so can't complain much!

Insecure. Anxious. Pissed off. Feel as though I'm on verge of crying. Unwanted depressive thoughts going throw my head doesn't exactly help matters. ::
