I'm not depressed, but I am

[Bosnian Sajo]

You dig?


For instance, there will be weeks where I feel like I'm on top of the world - having a great time, staying connected with friends, talking to girls etc.


And then the next week I want some "down time" where I'm not doing much of anything other than smoking some hashish and reading or listening to podcasts. And then that week turns into a month..


I haven't gotten with any girl since April (went on a date in July, texted for a week after that...and then poof, we stopped communicating. We didn't ****, I didn't get any head).....literally all summer past me by and I didn't go to a single party. I live right next to the beach, yet haven't been out there since Spring break (which was lit fam, at least I took advantage of that). And of course, when you're inactive like that for a while, you tend to gain weight. Now I'm not fat, but I'm not slim like I used to be either.

I keep saying to myself not to sweat it, once I do A then B will come back. Once I change this, that will occur. For example;

- I keep thinking once I finally hit the gym and get back in shape, my life will turn around and I'll be down for anything again.

- Once I stop smoking green, I'll always be out and about rather than sitting on my ass.

- I'm in a new uni, so once I get acquainted with some of my peers, I'll be getting invites to frat/sorority parties, etc.

I think to myself ahhh this is just a slump, you'll bounce back...but I've yet to stand up, let alone start bouncing lol. Or I make up excuses (to myself, lol), like ohhh you took classes during summer so you were focused on that....Ramadan was during the summer, so you were more occupied with that (which actually is true, I fasted all 30 days).


Again, I'm not sad...not depressed...it's more a feeling of anxiousness. I gotta get out of my comfort zone. I don't know exactly why I'm making a thread, but it feels good typing some of this out.

I feel the same sometimes, Just tonight I was thinking how boring life is then my senses came in and said, "Dude, you met Bill Cartwright on Tuesday, went to a club on Thursday and met a girl who likes you, went on a date with the same girl last night and hit second base, why are you complaining?"

Humans are just always expecting more tbh.

Why edit the OP?

Edited it back, thought it was late so no one would notice lol.


I feel you on "feeling bored" when in reality, you're doing stuff, it's just that you expect more. I have these big expectations that aren't being fulfilled rn.

[highwhey]

I think that's emptiness tbh. No amount of money or women will fill that void. It's been my experience that I have to have a strong spiritual foundation to be happy. I read the Bible and meditate on its principles as that helps me be happy and content with my life without having to turn to drugs, other people, or material possessions. Also, helping others is a great way to feel happy yourself. I am mentoring a young kid whose father left him. Smart kid and it brings me joy to teach him important things in life.

go f-ck yourself.

Depression is part of life. I play basketball every time I feel that I am not in a good mood.

[DaHeezy]

This explains so much about your posting style.
It's called life OP. Quit being an attention seeking drama queen.

Now proceed with, "who the **** is you?" response

[fiddy]

One step away from joining ISIS :oldlol:

Part of life. Physical, or mental. Eat right, keep yourself busy, and talk to friends/family.

When I'm down, I eat pork.

OP's not a fakket, but he is.

[Jailblazers7]

Welcome to you're early 20s, you'll get used to it lol.

[Nilocon165]

I feel this.

Mostly has to do with grades and social life.

When I have really good grades, I realize my social life is shit and I'm not really close with my friends or a girl.

When I do have a really good social life, my grades seem to drop and then I get anxiety about that.

I don't think I'll ever be fully satisfied :(

But I guess that's just life.

Once I get rid of one problem, there's always something wating there for me to get me depressed again.

Dhikr.

So, are you expecting life to always feel happy? Because it won't. Embrace the ups and downs instead of fearing them. They always teach you something new.

You need more girls in your life OP. Meet new people and keep yourself busy

its because you have no substance in your life. you distract yourself with your social life. its a consistent temporary happiness, but when that gets tiresome and you are by yourself, you are missing something major.

It's hard to make non-Muslim women subservient to you. There are a lot of single Muslim men in America.

[ILLsmak]

on one hand it sucks that you posted here... cuz trollin.

on the other, maybe you are bipolar. Doesn't seem like 'true bipolar' but maybe bipolar 2.

Smoking weed doesn't help with up and down moods.

Idle hands are the Devil's Playground...

If you're constantly doing stuff, you won't be so depressed.

Sign up for a sports team or something... sand volleyball is a blast (just started playing a few weeks ago). Plus you can throw on sunglasses and stare at chicks in practically nothing.

Join a club, or something you're interested in. History, guns, motorcycles; there will be a Facebook group for your area for anything.

[Dresta]

Stop smoking bud and start developing interests that deliver greater long-term reward: these two things go together. Sitting around and getting stoned isn't good for one's mental health: it makes you introverted and reclusive and not at all open to new and challenging experiences; then the sense of waste just makes you feel more depressed (spent like a year getting blazed and binge-watching garbage tv that took no mental effort or involvement--this is nothing but escapism, and will catch up with you eventually).

edit: yeah, and don't expect to be happy all the time: this is a destructive fantasy, especially in a modern world that is particularly adept at dehumanising people, and turning them into cogs in a vast consumerist machine.
