One of my friends gets upset a fair bit, at nothing, and isn't doing anything about it Well is on antidepressants, but they aren't doing anything to fix the problem, if anything it has gotten worse. I help all I can but it just gets so frustrating. And this person if friends with a lot of other people I know so I have no-one to really vent to And I just want to see them get better, or at least happier within themselves

I know exactly how you feel, Centz. One of my mates was broken up with by her long-term partner a few months ago and has embarked on a mission to just destroy herself. Having sex with random strangers, constantly drinking and doing drugs to get high and not be depressed(never works), and being depressed 24/7 both because of it, and because of what happened. Ive been doing my utmost to help her, but she just doesn't do anything to fix the situation. It's reached a point where I'm almost angry at her for doing this stuff to herself and not doing anything to fix herself, despite the fact me and her other mates(Hell, even one of the aforementioned random strangers who has drugs who has just sorta joined our group lol) are doing everything we can to help her. I know, of course, what it's like to be depressed, but nothing ever gets better if you just sit there and wallow in it.

Exactly, I have been down pretty much as low as you can get, above death, so I know somewhat what it feels like. But it means I also know the only one who can make it better is the person going through it. Sure having friends/family to support is great, but you have to be the one to make the first steps and actually want to get out of the situation you are in. And it just frustrates me so much as this person says they want to get better, they want to see a psychologist or whatever cos the support of their friends and family clearly isn't fixing the problem, but months later and still nothing has changed. I just want to smack them! Which I don't like feeling towards my friends

Stupid feelings! I like it better without them. Currently I am basically re-learning how to handle emotions and it is frustrating at times. Grrrr.

In a hot and humid country, I managed to get a cold.

I know, it's from being constantly sweaty then going in and out of aircon. But knowing why doesn't make it better.

Plus - because some fucktards abuse it - they won't/can't give me pseudoephedrine, which is the only stuff that stops my waterfall of a nose. The replacement stuff (phenylephrine hydrochloride according to the box) does absolutely nothing.

I'm sleepy as all hell, but as soon as I lay down the nose blocks and I'm just not a mouth-breather.

Won't somebody PLEASE bring me good quality drugs and sooth my fevered brow???

Yes, I know it's nothing compared to most of the above posts, but dammit, this sucks! I _like_ being a nose-breather ...

Cheers,

La Sombra, sandy vagina

Had a row with the only member of my family that I actually like I swear it was all her fault, even after taking into consideration the fact that I'm biased and adding some, I am still the injured party and it was over a very very very tricky and sensitive subject. I'm terrible when it comes to arguing as I'm quite a passive person in real life so now all the brilliant things I should have said are rattling around in my head. AND I'm at work on a Saturday. AND I haven't had any breakfast because a boring school day type breakfast of cereal just doesn't seem right on a Saturday. I want greasy fried stuff but I haven't got any so I'm starving out of protest. Who I'm protesting to, I have no idea, but I'm protesting anyway!!!

[Centzon Totochtin]

Yes Sombra, we can fly all the way up there just to bring you drugs Would we have to smuggle them in? In that case it will be Lucy bringing you drugs Does not being a nose breather give you a sandy vagina? That is very worrying! You should probably get that checked

@ Mez: you can't have boring breakfast on a Saturday! You should demand bacon, from the bacon fairies! And that sucks about the family argument

Boredom forced me into the book threads. There are some right idiots posting these days

an unprecedented nosebleed
weird
and uncalled for
i suspect that something may be wrong with my nutrition. which would be odd, since I was home this weekend and I actually ate proper foods

Irritation.

Just done the non-assessed part of my job exams, which give an indication as to whether you'll succeed or not. Kicked arse in the verbal reasoning half, but failed abysmally in the maths part. Just ran out of time, and calculations I though were easy would come up with answers that werent options. I spose I didnt have a proper calculator with me, so next time I might do a little better, just enough to pass with any luck, but Im not holding my breath.

Going to Cleveland for a week to visit the in-laws. Love the in-laws, but seriously...Cleveland. Sigh.

[Dag]

Going later to work today, and will probably have to stay there until midnight in order to perform a simple, banal task that my oyabun's masterful planning skills have turned into Mission Impossible. I usually love Fridays, but today is going to suck...

[caladanbrood]

I've done loads of my coursework today! And there's loads more still to do, it's depressing that I'm getting proportionately nowhere.

[Mentalist]

my new alarm clock is a POS

not only was it designed for toddlers, since it falls apart in my grip, but I also haven't made it to a mornign class yet this entire week

I am severely tempted to grab my hammer and end its pitiful existance
(and yes, i have a full toolkit in my room)

[Dr Trouble]

I have to go to work today to finish stocktake. I was there till 9pm yesterday. A 14 hour day. Now I'm up at six and back in there. It's my second week, dammit!

[Urb]

I'm happy

I have that except for the last part. Im in first year. This was supposed to be all about the booze. I've been lied to!

MSN is being bloody annoying and not letting me send messages to my mate, who's appearing offline. Grrrr I hate when it does this. Also, Ive got to be up early tomorrow morning. More Grrrr.

lack of food (all day today, all I've had was a bowl of oatmeal and a king-sized Snickers)

slow progress on the essay (it's there, but it's slooooow.. and no food is forthcoming untill it's done)

the total lack of desire to study for the 3 exams that are coming up...
oh, and I'm running out of food at home. which means I'll have to find some odd time to go shopping.

I'm on my fifth day and counting of a horrible sinus cold which shows no sign of letting up. I feel like my head is packed with styrofoam! I can't taste or smell anything, I have a headache, my ears are throbbing and my nose is sore from constant blowing. It seems like I've tried everything available at the pharmacy with no success. Seems like I'm just going to have to wait it out with my industrial size box of kleenex!
