Why can’t life be simpler?
January 9th, 2014 by genesis0987
It has been 6 years that I had suffered from depression for. I am
a perfectionist when it comes to my school/college work, and I always
was like this. But for the past year and a half or so, I don’t do
anything; Most of the time I don’t even try to do it because straight
away I feel like it’s going to turn out really bad. And if somehow I do
end up doing some work, I don’t feel like it is worth submitting, so I
don’t hand it in. My negativity demotivates me, my exams are coming soon
and I can’t force myself to revise for any of them. You might just
think I’m lazy, but the point is that I don’t feel like I’m good at
anything. At the start of college I was doing well, but something
happened and it was down the hill from there.. I don’t enjoy my subjects
either (I struggle the most with A2 Philosophy). I don’t even know
whether I want to get into uni.. I don’t know what to do with myself..
The fact that I only have 2 friends doesn’t make me feel any better.
People just don’t seem to like me. I just feel so utterly useless.. I
have thought of suicide multiple times and I know how I want to die, the
only reason why I’m still here is because I can’t access my method for
now and I don’t want to die in any other way. So since I have no other
choice but to be here, I don’t want to feel this horrible anymore. I
want to feel determined to do something and actually DO it. If any of
you have any advice, I would appreciate it very much.

Make it stop
January 9th, 2014 by Sunnygirl1It won’t end. It really won’t end, and I don’t think I can keep going.
How am I supposed to fight this battle empty-handed?

You have to adapt and improvise. Be “Jackie Chan.” In his films, his characters always just grab whatever is close, and use it to either defend or attack, or even to escape. Of course, it helps that he’s a highly trained and accomplished acrobat and martial artist, but still.
And if you can’t find a weapon, use your body and your surroundings. The human body can be a powerful weapon, even empty handed… and not in just physical combat situations.
Find something you like thinking about more than what you’re trying to not to think about. Find many things. If one isn’t enough, find a series of things to switch between. Choose your thoughts, as much as possible. When something feels like it’s involuntarily overwhelming your mind, take a deep breath and “think about anything else.” But it helps if it’s something you actually want to think about.
Man lives not on bread alone. Try reading a small bit of the bible everyday.
Give it a few days and see if you don’t feel better.
Its hard to have strength when you are so HUNGRY, so spiritually THIRSTY.
It’s all about tricking your mind. Maybe you should look into it, it might actually help you, for that reason.
