Listen to some happy music, quakes. Go.for a walk and get some endorphins running. It will get better.

Struggling to do the right thing. It's like I know the things I should be doing and I'm doing the opposite, just because. But I don't know how I can make myself help myself.

Things haven't been that geeat for me, mentally. I feel hopeless and I'm wondering if I'll ever find love. I try to be more positive and outgoing but it gets overwhelming. My anxiety is worse and I feel so irritable all the time. Little things get to me. I just I didn't feel so numb and hopeless.

Yes, and I'm wondering if you have deliberately excluded me from your friends list. :/

My only friend is gone now. I'm surprised that I don't miss him as much as I thought I would. But I feel empty that there's no one to talk to. On the other hand, he never seems to understand my feelings anyways.

Thank you, and I'm sorry. You will meet new people in real life, if you start doing new things.

I'm doing okay. Trying to spend more time on me today, then school work. I'm going to have to do some work eventually though... Emails and phone calls... (cue anxiety).

What are you interested in? You could form a meetup group if there isn't one already there, related to your interests. Make it fun! :thumbup:

Having a bad day today. Nothing has been able to snap me out of it. I'm just hoping a good nights sleep will help...I need to feel ok again.
Thanks for this!

The weekend is here. Not feeling that great emotionally. Feel very much alone. Nothing much going on today that made me feel better.

Hi, Will. Have you ever tried meetup groups? You can get groups together for whatever activity you're interested in, or join one that looks good. It probably won't help much at first, but it's a good way to meet other people and you might make some friends after awhile.
Thanks for this!

The restless legs are very bad tonight. I want to go to sleep except it feels like my blood is carbonated and I can't make it stop tonight. I guess where I went wrong was forgetting to take the benadryl at the same time I took my nighttime meds. :/ Wondering how late I have to wait until it lets up enough for sleep.

It is not being a good day so far. Some health issues

Shortly past 4:30 and my mom's already sloppy drunk. It makes me mad, because I don't even get to drink tonight, and all because of her. First she forgot to tell dad to pick up a half pint for me. Then she said she would share hers with me, but obviously she drank it all on her own. Now she's on a cleaning binge. The bathroom's all torn up and I'm expected to have everything off my floor so she can sweep. My bet is that she doesn't even finish it all. The rugs will all stay on the living room floor overnight and the bathroom will remain a mess. I cannot even shower today because of it.

I would help her, honestly I would, but I don't want to be around her when she's in that state. It really effin' depresses me.

This is what separates me, an occasional drinker, from their alcoholic mess. And yet they feel the need to put the reigns on my drinking. When the entire reason I drink is to cope with their drinking and the emotional toll it takes on me each. and. every. day.

I'm doing okay... yesterday was better. It's rained all day today. It's quiet... no one's around. (sigh). I have been a little productive (at least) in spite of my depression... but no where near where I would like to be.

I was fine until a couple hours ago...my fault for reading stuff I thought I had gotten over. I've never wanted to be cuddled and loved so badly - just to feel like everything's okay, somewhere, for just a little bit. Why I suddenly feel lonely is a little distressing....then again, I skipped my meds today.

But dammit, I shouldn't need meds to cope with my own thoughts...

Better today, though bored. My life is painfully empty right now, and I don't know how to fix it...

Today feels weird. I actually slept well enough last night, but I feel extremely exhausted. I am sure the weather here isn't helping, but everything I do seems to take tons of effort.

The chores have piled up and errands have not gotten done. I don't feel like doing much of anything. The posting helps...but I think sometimes I use the internet as a crutch too (surfing funny videos and what not).

I wish I could get my mind and body in sync and motivate myself.
