maybe it's your job, best bet start from there and then track every thing you do till you find whats making you feel this way, and get rid of it, if it's your job then find another graphic job that's more with alive at mustafar..

I've suffered from depression for a large part of my life. It took a long time to recognize this, and then understand how it affected my life, and finally to live with it. I've taken several different anti-depressants and gave up on finding happiness in a daily pill. I got most of the side effects, none of the benefits. I've been doing very well for the last two years, I believe. Now, I'm not a very personable or overly pleasant person to begin with, but I respect most people and generally keep my opinions to myself, unless asked. But I feel my general attitude towards life has made some great progress. My largest complaint at the moment is that I don't enjoy my job; I'm a computer drafter currently, and while it's an interesting and mentally challenging job, I hate sitting on my ass behind a desk ALL DAY LONG. I was a mechanic in and out of the Army, and every other job I've had kept me on my feet and physically active, which I needed, because I cannot motivate myself to exercise regularly. I'm looking to go back to work as a civilian contractor overseas, but for the time being, I'm just going through the motions, because - what else can I do?
I'm trying to maintain a positive attitude, but the underwhelming day to day struggle to make ends meet has consistently kept my girlfriend of four years unhappy. Which greatly affects my mental attitude. I also have a very difficult time sleeping, which she should know and understand by this time, but she somehow manages to forget this every night when I'm ready to go to bed. I'm just trying to deal with some doldrums at present, and wondered what you do to keep a positive attitude. You're never going to be able to change the fact that you get down sometimes, we all do. Accept it as being the norm, and not the exception. What's important is what you do about it. For me, I'd tell my girlfriend to take a chill pill. If she loves you, she won't pressure you to the point that it makes you depressed and she'll work with you on getting to bed at an acceptable time. If she can't do that, kick her to the curb, you'll find someone else. If you don't like your job, do what you're thinking of and find a new one. You basically got it down man and you're thinking isn't off center at all. Remember, as cliche as it is, there's nothing to fear but fear itself. Don't be afraid to change things up if they are for the better in your life. Don't get caught up in the feeling that you don't have any control over the things that truly make you happy.. |

My Mother has suffered from chronic depression for the last 20 years. At one point she actually checked herself into a mental hospital for several years. She came out better and worse at the same time, but it wasn't the drugs or programs that helped her, she had to drag herself out of the black hole, clawing her way inch by inch. I am so proud of her for finding the strength to do this.
She still has her down days but she maintains by keeping herself busy as much as possible, free time is the enemy. People who are depressed often have high IQ's. My mother is a genius, she makes everyone in my family look dumb by comparison including me. Basically, she sees the big picture of life on earth at a level that most of us can't see, and its not a pretty picture. She had to find something worth living for, and that's why she decided to have another kid, my brother. You have to find your own meaning and purpose. I sometimes get depressed or "down". There are two things that keep me going. 1. My dreams. I have big dreams and the process of working towards those dreams, and the hope of one day achieving those dreams keeps me going. Sometimes I feel like I will never get there, but the dream keeps calling me to move forward. 2. My mission. My Mother can't work, her monthly SS income is $400 a month. My brother is 16 years old, goes to school and dreams of being a Hollywood director. They both depend on me. I pay for her mortgage, I pay for her Power, gas, cable, I buy everything that is needed for the house, whether its a light bulb or a new sofa. I drop by once a week with groceries and a DVD for my brother. I buy my brother's clothes, school supplies, etc.. And after this done, I pay my own bills. |

You know I think there's a little truth to what the two main chars in Fight Club were doing, going to all those support groups. It doesnt make me feel cathartic, but seeing bloated ethiopian children has a way of deflecting my own problems, I used to be terminally depressed, practically immobile, and that whole time I was thinking about practically no one but myself. Dont take me wrong it is OK to have problems its part of life Im just saying part of what helped me was putting things in perspective, but in my case, time was ultimately the only real healer, I hope you fare better in that department.
