Some times.......it just hits you.
Hard!
Like getting punched square in the face.
Out of no where *POW*
Your head hurts, your legs shake.....you feel sea sick.

It short circuits all your defense mechanisms...you can't even mediate it away or walk it off or....anything.

How the hell is this horrid thing get incorporated into our brains? How did this serve our ancestors that it was kept as we evolved?

I don't think this is something that is intentional that came out of an evolutionary need and now is some sort of vestigial organ of sorts.

We're in the holiday season. Sorry this has to happen right now. call up some family and friends and let them know you are feeling a little down and keep your lines of communication open and frequent if you can.

Take care of yourself and hope you feel better soon.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The worst part of depression, well, maybe for guys at least, is there just doesn't seem to be a way to really even talk about it properly. Whatever the issue is, most people probably don't really understand the exact issue from your point of view, yet internally, there is a rage and dialog happening that is running away with your thoughts and begins to block out any rational thoughts of fixing the situation.

I've been there and can sympathize with real depression.

I'm pretty sure that advise isn't even really what your even looking for. You already have probably thought about the situation, whatever it is, for quite a bit. The situation probably does suck and I'm not going to be the guy that says, "Buck up buddy it's all going to be better!" because that's also probably the last thing you want to hear; some chuckle-monkey telling you not to be depressed.

What I will say is, give yourself permission to be throughly pissed at the situation. Whatever it is probably does suck and maybe there really is nothing you can do about it and maybe being pissed off for awhile is actually a good thing to help remind you not to get in the situation again if you can avoid it.

Stay safe and don't do anything stupid.

Shah.. There are lots of threads on here about depression, suicide, etc. I'm not saying this to discourage your thread, but so you know you can look it up and read about other peoples' experiences..

Depression is a strange thing.. I mean.. It's actually remarkably common, and yet it never fails to baffle me how few people seem to understand...

Not everyone is the same, but what I would say is that you should try and find some way to externalise your pain/feelings.. I imagine this may be more difficult for men, who are socialised NOT to talk about feelings, etc..

With that in mind, know that talking *does* generally help. Failing that, you can try writing - in a journal, online, on random pieces of paper, on this forum.. Alternatively, although it may not help you understand your feelings, some sort of activity can help lift your mood or calm your turmoil, or just make you tired enough you get to catch up on some sleep...

You've said you're into yoga.. Perhaps you'd be interested in meditation in that case.. They are related disciplines and can help give you that peaceful feeling, even if it's only temporary.

Whatever advice people give you, the fact is they can't possibly understand the precise nature of how you feel.. But they're giving you advice because they care.. So even if it's stupid or wrong or misguided.. Well.. Try and take in the bits that work for you, mkay?

You are NOT alone.. And even though it may not seem like it now, there IS hope..

Look after yourself..

Thanks mates, greatly appreciated.
And no I'm not going to do anything dumb like jump from a perfectly good aircraft.....well not until I'm fully licenses and have matching gear...
No, just a lot happening in my life, nothing I can "fix" and well it is life.
Bu thank you. I greatly appreciate the group hug.

Try getting a good pain slut. It's a great relief. I have a lot of pent up agression and it really helps me.

The beauty of a pain slut is that you can realize how your actions and emotions effect other people too.

Each bruise, rope mark, and cut takes you away. It's amazing that people are there to take your pain away, you can physically translate your emotions and it is quite beautiful.....



So, basically I'm saying you have friends, talk to us, we are here. You can always call me and spend an hour cussing everything that is bothering you or spend it crying your heart out.

Yeah, deep issues that need deep fixing.

As for the leg, it's become a promoter of how i feel.
If i'm ok it's ok, if i'm not ok then I walk like John Wane.

For me right now.....things are a bit complicated.
Maybe in a month things will be better. But for now....I'm not great and i'm not bad. I'm just.......well it's complicated. But I'll live.
Thanks guys! :)
