Every day :(

they surely outweigh the bad?

I get it at the start of the summer too. I think I attribute it to the feeling of bieng overwhelmed with work at Uni and the time of the year.

Works wonders.

:/

That second paragraph is my last few days/weeks/months/years...

but mainly because i just bunked a whole day off college and my exams start on wednesday.

because i'm trying to organise a fucking huge event right now and i thought i was less naive on these things but it's taking far longer than expected and i sorta wish i'd started two months earlier and AAARGH.

i was gonna start a thread yesterday about being depressed but instead went for a walk around my house (which is not very big so it was over quite quickly...)

but yes, i think i may drop out of university...sigh.

i'm not sure what advice i can give you really, i hope things get better :)

i'm meant to be back for my 21st, right now i don't feel like flying back to england. i might not tell anyone about it and hide in germany.

jus chill out, look out into the sun with a sweet beverage and a magnum (or similar) whilst listening to so summery music... indulge in a bit of trash reading and read about other peoples problems and then you feel revitalised and ready to take on the Neo-Nazis all over!

A lot of the time. It's called being human.

which is mega mega common but also quite a big deal.

Exercise, diet and keeping busy all help, but if it's getting on top of you a bit, it can't hurt to get in touch with places like supportline:

As well as advice, they've got a database of counsellors.

Talking about things invariably helps.

and Cheese on toast, oh yes!

i've been feeling kinda similar lately, to a lesser extent. but i think more than anything else it's boredom with my current circumstances. i'm SO BORED of everyone i know and i feel like all my conversations are just small talk and i can't actually remember when i last had a genuinely amazing time with friends. and i can envision a whole summer of this, due to my ridiculous phobia of leaving my comfort zone.

that said, i have plenty of things to look forward to and phases like this usually pass quickly. trying to tell yourself how great everything is and how happy you SHOULD be is usually futile, but i find it helps to tell yourself how great things WILL be. optimism is important.

I recommend going for either a short run or a very long walk. Usually sorts stuff out in your head.

...and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be...whelmed?

but an hour ago my dad phoned me up and told me my granddad had died :( this is a massive shock because I saw him over Easter and he seemed fine

now I have loads of coursework piled up and revision and imminent deadlines and important lectures i'll miss to go to his funeral and I should be doing coursework right now but I am all "oh god" and i'm in no state to do any coursework and :(((((((((((((((((((((

i need to write 2500 words for monday, this was going to be fine but now I don't know where to start or how to start or what is up with me

i think I feel totally overwhelmed for the first time in my life

I know exactly how you feel.

The only advice I can really give is to see your doctor if you think it's really affecting your life.

Diet and excercise or lack of it can make you feel up or down, so perhaps take a look at this sort of this also.

I have a dissertation, 2 essays and 5 exams to do in the next 4 weeks. THERE IS NO FUCKING TIME! I still have social stuff on top of that, plus I'm not sleeping until 4 most nights and getting up at 8ish everyday -my skin is awful, I've put on (more) weight and I don't have the energy or will to talk to anyone - in fact anytime any of my friends try to talk to me I just want to punch them in the face to release the build up of tired-anger.
I have no-one to talk to due to above friend situation and my mother being severely depressed and regularly ringing me up to cry down the phone and then my dad ringing me up to yell at me for making mum worse and then eventually crying down the phone, all this at past midnight at least twice a week.

Want to die, simple as.
