depression. ever had it?

[69slimer]

i think it was the death of my dad that made me realize the truly important things in life, you have no control over. it made me lose my zest for a lot of things. as time goes on though, i know he's not suffering and in a better place. we are all human and therefore mortal. we need to appreciate and cherish life because one day, we all will move on. i try to enjoy as much as possible one day at a time.

Good post. Know exactly how you feel.

Just be glad you guys aren't women with the hormone fluctuations. You can get depressed really easy.

I know how they feel during those days. They get hysterical, be upset, be irate, pissed off and play the blame game for no apparent reason. The stomach cramps and headaches also wear them out real quickly. Once I understood what my girl goes through and how difficult it is for her, I started caring for her even more than I ever had.
She gave me a real nice gift in return!

"Exercising for 40 minutes can reduce stress. In fact, studies show that working out on a regular basis can be as effective as taking antidepressants like Prozac."

i know one thing that can top that.

SEX.

having sex regularly is like a workout to relieve stress.

unless you get even more depressed because you cant have sex, cant find someone to have sex with, too effin fugly chick repellant, too broke too pay for it.

damn it. i should end on a positive note next time.

She left me.

i wouldn't have met my awesome wife if i was still married to the first one (loser). things happen for a reason even though you may not think in those terms now. the better one will come along. i've found that when you don't look for it, it comes by itself and that relationship works out better because it came naturally. nothing worse than trying to force a square peg into a round hole. also, when you do meet a potential girlfriend, don't be too eager. girls HATE eagerness and moving too fast unless it's their idea and LOVE confidence and patience.

What you say has to have some truth in it; else I wouldn't be nodding my head to it. But I really don't want 'the better one'. I didn't love her just to let her go in lieu of a better one.

i'm saying you may not realize it now as i didn't then. but i couldn't be happier with the results of meeting my loving and caring lady that is still as hot today as the day i met her. one door closes, another door opens.

Yes, that is the way of life. But I'm tired of it if you ask me. I mean, what's the point of liking something if you are gonna have to forfeit it just cuz somethin' better might be on it's way? No sir, I'm ****in' tired of that ****. OCD I guess but if I wanted anyone, it was her. No one else.
I could and I have got over many other depressing moments in my life. Except this one.

you don't like someone expressly to forfeit later. you don't break it off because you think something better is on the way. but you must realize not every relationship works out. sure the physical stuff may have been great, but you should consider the most important thing is that you both have MUTUAL respect, love and admiration. true love is very hard to achieve. my definition is something that comes naturally and you don't always have to work on it. but some say good relationships are something you work on every day. in my opinion, you only work on it every day if it's failing. you must find what makes you happy instead of dwelling on past events. you can change tomorrow with your actions today.

Been through it myself. It does get better just don't hide yourself away. Get out there and live.

I just want to say that this whole "soulmate" business is a bunch of bull. Don't fall for it.

soulmates are real but don't expect to find one if you look. when they come along, if ever, you'll know it.

i agree to get out there and have some fun. there are many levels of enjoyment, some requiring the opposite sex and some not. find an interest and enjoy today before it passes.

Agreed.

This is strictly my opinion Darkmatter but I think if you are not looking and just in a setting enjoying yourself whether it be at the gym, grocery store, library, etc... it's that certain vibe or confidence, being yourself, etc... that attracts people. AND I'm not even talking just about the opposite sex. Forgive me because I'm probably going to get personal about myself here and I've hardly had the reason in a long time to spill any of this out on the internet or especially on a collectible forum.

No matter where I go, there's always people wanting to know my story. I believe myself to be a mix bag of tricks, I know by looking at me everyone can tell that fitness a big part of my life, no one can tell that I'm a bookworm, computer geek and collect these items or even an artists or can go on about philosophy and what not, until I open my mouth. The gym is my choice of drug and I believe that exterior attracts a lot of people both men and women, all with questions of dieting, working out, etc... at first but then this pushes more to a lifestyle and then a mindset, the mindset of getting up every morning with a purpose. I basically LIVE everyday, I'm nonstop between 3-4 jobs and I really don't even know how I acquired all of them with the exception of what my degrees are in. Everything I've ever picked up interest in, I've pushed the passion, efforts and my limitations on but anyways it always leads to how to live life as if this was your last day for me. I love to consistently learn about everything, learning to master all types of behaviors, arts, society... and I can go on but I'm going to keep it short.

To me I just wake every morning thinking, what am I going to push on today and if there's comes mornings where I wake up and turn out of my bed and feel like "nah today I'm too tired to do that" I force myself and I just get off, I get off out of bed because that's step 1, the first step to doing anything is the hardest, just take the plunge and do it, ask that girl out(or just talk to her), fear nothing at giving anything a go, if you fail you know what to do the next time. Think of it as life is always against you, it's up to you to prove it wrong and rear you head at it so negatives retreat in the opposite direction. IMO again, I believe if you are going at life in this fashion the energy around you changes, more opportunities, more smiles, air is fresher(crisp, easier to breathe), luck meets preparation, the aura is radiating.

Just my opinion, don't read too much into it and sorry for the ramble.

You won't know your soulmate until you are close to the end of life. You'll know then. When you're with someone that long and you still want to be with the till then end, then you've found your soulmate.

Too many people think that someone is their soulmate until a couple of years later when they divorce and then meet another soulmate. Some think that they've met them then they get divorced and think that soulmate got away. A soulmate is forever WITH you or they weren't a soulmate to begin with.

Soulmate is just another word people use for someone they're in love with.

i believe a soul mate is that one person that accepts you totally and 100%, as you do them. i've been with mine for 25 years. neither of us wander because we want to be with each other above anything and no other person could ever break that bond. sure, we have arguments once in a while, but that's to be expected because no couple is perfect. but i don't have to have a near death experience to tell me what i already know and feel. i couldn't get rid of her if i tried.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Accepting someone completely shouldn't be confused with forgiving someone for their mistakes. If you have someone who doesn't care if you improve and grow as a human being they aren't your soul mate.
