Does anyone ever just get depressed.....like cumulative stre

[Deprogrammed]

I am not doing well lately or feeling well at all!

Thoughts opinions are fine with me.

I think I am just hating life lately, and it is unlike me to be this down, usually I can snap myself back up out of it, but I guess I just don't see the "light at the end of the tunnel" at this point.

warm regards to all,

Yo.

But what is there to say...??  The world is tough.  It's a tough life.

You got to look around you and see...see the world thru a childs eyes, or put on some good music with a lot of struggle in it and let that be your medicine.

That's my only advice right now.

Thanks I know your intentions are good...but those things are not helping right now fro some reason.

Under the benign influence of our republican institutions, and the maintenance of peace with all nations whilst so many of them were engaged in bloody and wasteful wars, the fruits of a just policy were enjoyed in an unrivaled growth of our faculties and resources.

Yeah...I didn't think they really would.  Cumulative stress, huh?  ...yeah, I got a lotta stress too.  Maybe someone else can relate...

Fuck...I'm depressed now...I'm goin' ta bed.

feeling not quite like myself lately anymore.....hard for me to explain I guess.
Normally I do the music thing and it helps, normally I do tell myself good things to help myself feel better but lately they are not working anymore and I am trying to figure out why.

I think what makes stepcraft survivors different is that we have participated in the Asch Experiment writ large, and know what we (and others)are capable of in that situation.

Well, having also been deep in depression (since finding info on Straight) for a few months, which is also not like me at all, I know how much depression sucks. I wish I had a magic answer for you. I just starting seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in the past few weeks. I know counseling is helping me...but I am not saying that is the answer for you. Christmas has helped me alot too, cause decorating and stuff like that cheers me up. So, I guess I would say, try doing something that always makes you happy, even if you arent in the mood to, and keep doing stuff that usually makes you happy, even if you dont feel it cheering you up at first. Just an idea, dont know if it would help.

Yikes! I think that would drive poor DP into a much deeper depression! Any doctor that orders SIBS clearly should have his license revoked! Oh that's right I forgot, you're a wannabe doctor with a fake degree.  :roll:

Perhaps SIBS will help you get honest about your lack of credentials Doctor Newton.  :em:

I can remember being as young as 6 or 7 and telling someone I was depressed. It was a summer camp counselor. Weird experience, Kiddie Kollege, now that I think of it. That was around the time Seed culture really started to overshadow everything and these were long haired hippie FAU students. They were all nice to us, too.

Anyway, he asked me what I was depressed about. I said nothing, I'm just depressed. It'll pass. It always does. Freaked him out a little.

Yeah, I used to do this sort of thing quite a lot as a little kid. Not usually all day. But taking a break to stare at running water while washing something or sneaking off to lay up in the tree and listen, things like that. I think that's what they call meditation or prayer or daydreaming or somethin'. W/e, good stuff anyway.
