How do you guys cope through?....

I make dating profiles with pictures of my CRPG character and message other members about the length of my masterwork sword.

Do something different. Changing things up can make you feel better, even if you don't have the best time of your life. Go out somewhere you were thinking of visiting, try a new hobby, read that book you've been putting off forever.

What works for me personally is getting outdoors and being active. No matter how grumpy or down I am to start with, a good hours-long bike ride or an all day hike by myself is like pressing the reset button on my mood. There is something very satisfying about lying down to rest at the end of the day after traveling so far by your own flesh and will.

Had one just this last month, didn't really do much apart from falling into an apathy and gaming/sulking my way through it. Oh, well.

Why am I not surprised.
Always imagined you to have a pretty boring life.

Gosh, Bjord, still desperate to get at me?
Get back to flipping burgers, you tool.

[Bjord]

It's sad if you actually think people care enough to make you feel bad, I was just voicing an opinion(which was confirmed by your pitiful post) and you start insulting me.

It's not like your posts are a source of happiness. Usually whenever you post it's something bitter and sarcastic, like you're putting people down to compensate for your boring, uneventful and grey life.

I only feel sorry for you, ptx.

Keep it up, Bjord, someone might actually get the idea that you are not a petty loser.

you see,

what's wrong with sulking,?
tis good in all weather.
and compliments many wines...
many poets...
many women.

You need to change your outlook on life, assuming it's just depression.  I used to have "depression" and they wanted to put me on pills for it but I eventually managed to change my outlook on things.  No downside lacks an upside, only focus on the good things in life.  But do not ignore the fact that there are negative factors in life, because that's basically just bottling up all of the nasty shit and letting it pool up for later, which can really bite you on the ass when you least need it.  Don't worry about the past, and don't spend all of your time thinking about the future, instead focus on your life now, in the current time.

That's about all I can offer as advice, good luck.

Okay, am currently in the process of getting past a MAJOR fuck-up in my life. As to my first post here - what i did was the wrong thing to do. Nothing gets you down as much as waiting for things to get better by themselves (or waiting in general). The solution is to accept the WORST possible outcome and start working up from there. Do not pity yourself, do not seek to place blame, just look for ways to actively improve your situation. This is helping me tremendously.

Or you could drink your way out of your problems (drugs as well) or eat yourself out of em (food).

That doesn't solve them, and when you wake up next morning with a hangover, you're even worse off.

It's a temporarily solution and puts your mind elsewhere for the time being. But not a perma solution no.


Nobody said life's easy though. Either you quit now or you keep going and hope it's getting better by itself or make it yourself (which seems to be like what you're doing).

Am I the only one breezing through life? I can't really recall any hard times where I felt bad.

[Leshma]

Life isn't easy. I've been through a lot of shit for my age, most of them caused myself.

Wanted to give up couple of times but not anymore. Living crappy life is better than nothing.

And no matter how bad your situation may seem there are always good things in life to make up for the bad ones, you just have to look for them.

But to be honest, I've never been put to real misery test and that is losing someone you truly love. I'm not sure would I be able to overcome that without creating serious mayhem in society.
