Bouts of depression?, How often does it happen to you and how severe? Options

[TwistedLogic]

Sometimes I get into a frame of mind where all the bad things in my life and all the things I wish I had but do not have hit me all at once and I get into these bouts of depression. Lately, they've been pretty bad to the point where I think everything is pointless and I want to end my life. But this lasts for about half an hour at most.

Once I shake myself out of it, I return to normal and things are ok again.

But then, it'll happen again in a week or so.

I've tried anti-depressants but they have a bad side effect on me. It makes me constipated and almost makes me want to vomit. Plus, they don't really help regulate the moods much.

Is there any mental things I can do to combat this?

Yah yah, keep on repeating that to yourself. The more repetitions, the higher the chances of making yourself believe that. We both know you're just a damn asiaphile and can't have the same success with your own kind.

You and I have completely different set of problems and I'd rather have mine than have yours. AT the end of the day, I can always say to myself, at least I'm not an asiaphile.

You may have managed to convince yourself over the many years that the "love" between you and your wife stems from true love and not based on race but the simple fact is, race is a huge factor. Especially to Thai people who seem to worship whites even more so than other asian countries.

Just consider yourself lucky that your white ancestors managed to subdue the rest of the world for centuries and came out on top. Their legacy has made your life worth living.

just shut up about doing it or do it, stop being such a coward and actaully do it. you sympathy chasing baby

[Britney]

You know I heard you, TwistedLogic.

Haha, so you think my death and my silence will end your guilt of being an asiaphile? You wish. This is gonna stick with you for the rest of your life whether I say anything or not.

You're just making it worse by the way. The fact that you get so pissed off at what I say just reflects the guilt you feel inside.

You know I heard you, TwistedLogic.

funnily enough i usually laugh at our little conversations. i have explained this to you before but i know for you things take a while huh ok here goes again. none of what you say has any basis in the truth so it doesnt affact me negatively. it would be like accusing me of being hitler. i just wouldnt be affected. whats truly sad is that despite this you convince yourself that, what you say gets to me (which is paramount to admitting to being a troll and considering you are actually a banned member (rememeber AF kicked you out permanently) a truly sad unwanted troll)(its a pity the mods are too gutless to ban you again (and no, i dont report you as why would i? , you amuse me)

ps if you do kill yourself i will be like this
6 billion people and the world needs to worry about an anrgy little racist like you ?


go do it. but stop fishing for sympathy. its boring, like you.

I've tried anti-depressants but they have a bad side effect on me. It makes me constipated and almost makes me want to vomit. Plus, they don't really help regulate the moods much.

why are u taking that? u should Ding Xin Wan herb pills or St. John's Wort tea. pharmaceutical anti-depressants are bad for your heart, liver, and spleen. i take this when im depressed---> http://maxnature.stores.yahoo.net/casplata.html

As long as I'm not alone for too long without anything to do, I'm fine.

Left to my own devices, I start to slip... I'm like a shark, I just have to keep moving.

The best thing to do when you're depressed is to take a long walk...off a short pier.

twistedlogic, have you tried talk therapy? it has worked for me.

btw, read the posts btwn you and corky. i agree with you.

[ZhongShu]

Create a list of a hundred things. Don't spend too long, maybe 30 minutes to an hour constructing the list. They should be fairly important things. They should be a progression. So number 100 should be your ultimate goal in life. Please don't let be something silly like "have a family". It should something that will leave a mark on the world. There are many ways to so.

Now a hundred things is a lot. So it should keep you pretty busy for the rest of your life. Your checkpoints are every three months. Every three months, you should have done something substantial and worth noting. Every 3 months, people should notice something different about you. So December is coming. Start then. Say you want to increase your net worth by a certain amount by February or you want to have this physique by Feb. Make it your pet project and follow through. Spend your lunches thinking about it. If you have time to think about being depressed, you probably have time to do other things.

Twistedlogic,

If it helps I'll repeat to you again and again that you're an awesome person because I believe so.

There's always something to make you feel bad.. I challenge you to think about something to smile about.

Even better, make a list of things that make you feel depressed and next to list write something to rebut the negative statement.

I don't really think there is really a cure, I suppose you have to work your way around it.

=D

Just know you've got supporters and people who LOVE you.



You're awesome!
