Its hard to explain how I feel

I feel like you do a lot, more now than ever. I think mine is depression but I am not sure. I just know I don't feel close to family anymore and I don't like doing a lot of the things I use to. A lot of things get on my nerves that never use to bother me. Maybe it is the season.

You must live up to your chosen name 'Joy' and decide to enjoy life more. Life in general is good in your country, think how you would feel if you lived in the USA now with a 'Frankenstorm' approaching you and your loved ones! This discussion coincides with the clocks going back and the nights coming on earlier, that may not be a coincidence. I gather it is pretty cold there too. this is going to be the situation all the winter and some of the Spring, so I suggest you find small ways of making the dark nights better. How about lighting a few candles, ones with a pleasant smell to cheer you up. Invite some friends round for snacks by candlelight. If things bore you quickly then it would help if you could find something new very quickly too to replace the old interests. Life would get exciting then, you will meet some new people and it would take some time before they got on your nerves. Evening classes are pretty good for cheering yourself up and making some short term interesting friends. I thoroughly recommend them. Stop suggesting to yourself that you are fed up, change your hairstyle, get some new clothes, even if it is just a small item like earrings or a scarf. I know you can do it. Oh yes, one more thing you could do in the coming month is get yourself to a Fireworks Party and enjoy some laughing kids around you. That's a lot of suggestions I truly hope that one at least will work for you.

I think that with the shorter days and it getting colder and kind of miserable it is normal for some to become depressed. It is sad. I have lived with it all my life whether miserable or sunny out. Severe depression is not fun. And getting fed up with life occasionally is normal I think. TIme to regroup, set some goals and try to find something positive to enjoy about it all.

I guess it happens to all of us. There are really days when we feel real bored. There are happy and sad moments. It's part of life. I guess we should just go with the flow and be contented with what we have. Probably we'll just think positively and forget about negative vibes that would surely ruin our day. And the most important one joystick, we should seek the Help of our God Almighty. He is the source of everything. So nothing is impossible with Him! God bless!

There are good days and there are bad days, probably some sort of a mood swing affecting your affect, thought process or just simply some sort of psychological behavior caused by some triggers or stressors. Getting consultation for therapy would surely help, but keeping a positive attitude would surely do just great to keep a better hold of yourself.

Just be positive in life and that's the whole attitude that we should have.While sometimes we feel upset but what makes me feel touched is that i still have someone caring me and that makes me so lucky.So that's basicly life and we should learn to accept what happened.

It kind of sounds like you have S.A.D., seasonal affective disorder. My grandmother gets that every time winter like weather rolls around. It's not like traditional depression. Doctors recommend light therapy, but those kind of lights seem to be very expensive. Some people recommend tanning because of the light you'll be exposed to. It's a real problem for millions of people. You might want to look it up if you haven't already and see if it fits how you feel.

hi joystick you just g ave the classic symptoms of depression so I think you should see your primary care doctor and get some help for depression as it can be helped you know. i do not feel that way and I am here in a tiresome retirement center where I never wanted to be. but life is still great I a n 85 and want to live more years too. I love my lotting and have tons of friends here I hope you can get some help as depression sucks so they tell me.Also look around you now do not get mad at me but are you broke? Are you out of a job? do you have a home? are you homeless? you have nobody to love you ro be loved/ if no then why do you feel so down. I mean there are people who have not got a job and have a family to feed? people who are homeless do you get m y point? count your blessings as it might make you feel better. go volunteer to help others as it will make you feel good inside.

hi, i know that my life is not that perfect because i am single for so long and in my career i am not yet regular in my tenure,and i am only happy because of my friends,close relatives and of course to my family,so when my family is there i could say that i am complete and happy.

I've been through that kind of situation. There are times I don't understand I feel and usually its a mixed feelings. I think it is because of the things I am dealing with which I think I am taking it seriously. Recently, I had problems. I can't help but think of it.

Well things like that usually happens to a lot of people. And I might say that I'm one of those people. Because sometimes, there are days that we feel uncertain. :)

Well while you might not feel depressed per say it might help to talk to someone if these feelings about the world make you so unhappy all the time. Especially if you think they're keeping you from enjoying life to the fullest. Therapists and counselors tend to work with people help them change their point of view and way of thinking as it pertains to life situations. Also need be they can offer you medications as an option but it doesn't sound like your feelings are that extreme.

I know what it is like to go through a "bad phase". It seems never-ending and bad things stack one on top of the other until you are so pissed off that everything seems to be the worst thing. But it's just that, a phase. I believe that when things go wrong is because we're not doing what we are meant to do. Call it Karma or Fate, but I see it in a more logical way: if we are doing something that we know is not working for us, keeping on doing it is the definition of crazy. Bad things come, but it's up to you to do the best you can with what you've got
