I remember I was babysitting my kid cousin and he had me watch him throw himself barbarically into random things for like 20 minutes.
I didn't quite know what to make of it but boy do I miss that energy.
Post your random thoughts/feelings etc

I can relate a lot, minus some of the crying. It feels so daunting and hopeless at times - I don't know what you've tried - I know what I haven't tried like real CBT help and consistent relaxation and healthy diet (consistently) always seems to be key, consistent. My mind is so used to the habit of avoiding and giving into the more negative or just giving up on something - comes so natural hard to fight that but we can! =)
And I need to get on it but it's hard. Esp when you lack social support around you.

If you were Coyote, I'd think it were a metaphor...
Well, if you rearrange the phrasing a bit.. x3
Things like that just kind of happen. :3

twiggle, you are making huge efforts to go through this, I'm sure that sooner or later you will be happy again, your hard work is not going to be in vain. Just keep trying, never give up.
And Lemur, I like you and you know why? Because you're one of the most optimistic guys I've seen. And I don't mean in this forums, I mean in all my life. Get on, keep fighting, you know you can do it.
You guys are very inspirational to me. So please, never surrender. I believe in you

That's the spirit I like!Thank you Jonesey. I'll never give up because I know that if I do then things definitely won't get better. Its just that lately the moments of collapse and rebuild are becoming more frequent.
You are my Determination Twin. I won't give up and neither will you
Hey Twiggle - if you don't feel like laughing and smiling - don't.
Maybe you can say something like 'a bit under the weather today' or such... (to tone it down) but I recommend being honest about your feelings at least with one person in RL...
I used to be 'cheerful' and thought I had to be 'cheerful' all the time too ('The Great Pretender' song sums it up nicely)
You can feel very lonely even with lots of people around you if you're constantly 'faking it'... And sometimes being real with someone trustworthy can actually bring you closer...
People don't NEED to like you, they just need to respect you enough/be respectful... so that life together is possible, if you're living/working together etc. When I fully realized this it was a huge liberation. And they actually started liking me more. (Shock, I know!)
Can you find at least one member of the forum in your area? Or someone else from a similar forum (or with similar problems) in your area?
Sometimes it's okay to be sad, you know... Life is not a 'sit-com' all the time... And yeah, we all here believe in you!!

Thanks, Jonesy, but trust me, it's been a long process, and easier to be optimistic for others but it's a mindset that's a long process to change when ones been on the other end for soooo long. Esp for me now. But as Twiggle said, we must never give up being doing so and nothing will definitely make things worse.
So YOU keep fighting the good fight too, Jonesy.

Parents will always nag that's just what they do. There probably only nagging because they love you and want the best for you in life. It might be that their nagging is their way of trying to give you a push in the right direction to help you get better. Even though you say your not doing anything to make your parents proud. I bet they are still proud of you.
I still get nagged by my mum.
lol you're welcome.. twiggle.. I don't feel so caring sometimes, but people keep telling me that, lol.
I just try to cheer people up (or share my life experience), especially if they seem like really COOL people with lots of potential and level-headed and with great sense of wit and intelligence and I really admire them and everything
I understand about not wanting to burden your family, yeah... hm that's tough then, yeah.. My mum can be easily upset so I try to not burden her too much either - my sis is not such a great source of wisdom either...
There may be other forums for people in similar situations, maybe look for any of the keywords, it doesn't have to be all of them... (or maybe even try to put local towns into the search) What about any people you might study/work/volunteer with, could any of them be developed into 'acquaintances' and then maybe steps taken toward 'friendship' (slowly) ? Could there be any local support groups or a day center or something, with maybe free counselling or such?
It inspires me how EscapeArtist, Saskia and some other people are doing big steps with support team behind them... I wish there would be support teams and friendly clubs/orgs everywhere...
Sometimes writing a song or story about things can help too...
I think we all on this forum both give & get advice... It's a two-way street...
So take your time and know that already you're making the forum (and the world) a better place just by your presence

Wish there was more stuff here for geeks to do in groups. There's only one comic book store in the whole city but there's bars, churches and strip clubs everywhere. Never mind the fact that you have to travel hours to get to a convention. Why can't I be just like everyone else?
