Why are you depressed at the moment?

[NathanielWingatePeaslee]

Sometimes there's a huge difference between simple and easy.

if it was that simple. but it's not a physiological but purely mental thing for me for just too long.
thank you for replying, i appreciate it.

its a little difficult but its worth it, i lost 50 pounds in 5 months, just the first couple days are the hardest, when you notice you are losing weight thats going to motivate you to keep going, it becomes a lot easier, just count the calories, if you can eat 500 calories less than you burn daily you can lose up to 2-3 pounds in a week.

Not having a proper job and being far away from the people I care for. That and thinking too much about the past, and because I'm just not happy with my life at the moment. I'm very afraid things won't change.

Idk, but I am not getting out of bed today...no no no no no no, no way, no way, no way, no way noooo wayyy
Keep on skankin' ronnie,
Skank the night away,
But the time is coming,
For us all to pay

 

[shybutsexy]

wow!!! i really admire you!
i envy your consistency and determination. thumbs up~ great spirit ;p

about 3 weeks ago i lost 4 kg during one week by walking 17 km a day and eating less than 500 cal total with no sugar and almost no carbs. by today i put almost every gram of what i lost back on me. and this kind of cycles are repeated all the time, but usually in slower pace...
i'm not sure where did my motivation go. i think it was lost couple of years ago...

thanks well my other motivation to diet is that i was already paying 100 dollars a month in the gym, so i had to start losing weight or all the money would be wasted lol, the thing about diets that are too stricts, where you wanna lose too much weight in too little time, is that it causes your metabolism to slow down, so when you start to eat again your metabolism isnt ready for that food because it already got used to survive with little food, so you would be eating too much food for your body and therefore you gain weight. The key to lose weight and keep it down, is to lose it and keep your metabolism the same, and you do this by eating the same amount of food but with less calories in it.

Besides the usual self-dislike, not exactly sure.

Perhaps I'm stuck on this issue: I'm afraid to ever confess I have depression or social anxiety because others would just tell me to "stop whining".

And perhaps being unable to convince myself that other people are worth trusting, or to even convince myself that other people don't all just hate me, both might have something to do with it. The latter especially. Apparently I've been dealing with past problems so much I've been re-traumatized or something.

I've never been able to do anything about that nagging feeling that there's no one that has or ever will respect me; rather, everyone's thinking secretly how much I suck.

no job, hardly any money, no car, no resolution in sight

That's a really good question. I had to really think about it but I think my depression comes from my negative dad, my job and my lack of an active social life. I rarely ever get to do the things I enjoy, I'm always tired to exercise and I don't eat right all the time because I don't have the money to and I have trouble getting my brain to think outside the box and succeed in everything I do.

I've always wanted to be an overachiever. That was my dream when I was going to turn twelve years old. Now I'm 23 and on my third year on a two year community college with a minimum wage job and no fulfilled life. I'm hoping that something or someone would give me that PUSH I need to get off my lazy behind, get out of my comfort zone, put on my big girl shorts on and get to work on my dream!! >.< Just how is it that some of us dream all these big dreams and say we're gonna rule the world, yet we grow up with our little jobs and can't even rule over our emotions? Maybe it's just me, I'm venting out right now. I have two hands and two feet, nothing's stopping me from doing what I wanna do! So why is it that these negative strongholds in my brain weighing me down from doing so?

i am broke and the weathers finally getting nice....I want to go on a road trip but I cannot afford to leave the county gas is too exspensive.

 

[BlueDays]

I am being forced to do something everyweek that makes me wake up through the night in sheer terror of what I have to do.
I hate no possibility of having control over something that I have to do in my life.

 

[MollyBeGood]

BlueDays- iam sorry...is there anything I/we can do here to help you?

I want to go on a roadtrip, too. One thing that always makes me feel really good is driving, listening to music. Especially with the windows down on a nice day.

 

[MollyBeGood]

Yes Beatrice and if there mechnical noise from under the hood, my cars are often junkers...just turn the radio up louder! LoL

I love it too. wind in your hair not a care!

 

[alwaysrunning]

I am currently depressed because i've just decided to give up on people. No one really likes my personality once they get to it. Everyone is fake to evryone else whats the point of interacting really. When i was faking being happy people liked me then they told me to express my emotions more and kaboom "youre a downer and we dont want to hang around people like you" actual words. I really just dont care about people anymore.

 

[Steamdriver]

I'm lonely and can't find anybody.

 

[***deleted***]

I'm trying to quit smoking........

 

[Simmy]

Cant seem to fathom the thoughts or positive energy I need to help me crawl through life at pedestrian pace

I'm trying to quit smoking........

Ah, all the best with that Closetnerd..

 

[deadend]

I'm practically broke.

I feel incapable of establishing a career for myself due to mental illness.

Socially awkward.

No support.

No motivation.

Changes at work have me on edge.

Worthless, hopeless, etc.

Probably doesn't help that I don't sleep well.
