Depressed?

Don't know what it is exactly but not feeling too inspired at the moment. Slept through the ringing in of the new year and woke up a short while ago feeling a bit heavy emotionally, like here it is a new year and I have nothing to show for the old and nothing to look towards in the new. Feeling kind of tired of living my life behind a computer screen trying to hunt for pennies every day and thinking it's time to just get rid of all the websites and change the direction of my life.

Not trying to get anyone's pity. Just wondering if anyone else might be feeling a little low in spirit or if I'm the only fool letting myself get all melodramatic here.

 

No, many are feeling the same way. If you feel a need for another direction than take it. You know the old saying " when one door shuts another door opens". Hang tight.

 

Sorry you're feeling so bad. You know I have only been here a week and one thing that I have learned is that you have to keep at it to make it successful. I know 2008 is going to be my year. I am going to make it happen. Nothing will stop me. Try to keep a good attitude and just learn all you can learn.

I wish you the best of luck in 2008. Who knows--might be your year as well

 

If you're getting bored of the internet, try going back to school. It's working for me.

 

Try and look for some other temporary things that'll cheer you up, and give you a break from the mundane. Sometimes I relax and play video games. Cookie dough ice cream and a movie works wonders also. Depends on what will help you the most. I also play soccer, which allows me to take out my emotions on people who I might never see again, so I don't have to worry about them being mad at me for too long. Again, it all depends on what works. Have you tried counseling? I have a great counselor at my school who has helped me a great deal.

 

If you are bored facing the computer screen all day, you could apply for a day job.

 

Thanks for the thoughtful words and suggestions everybody. I suppose it's just one of those things when you get to the point of realizing you're not doing something you love and what you really want to do with your life you keep putting off for one reason or another, but time doesn't stand still and wait for you in the meantime. I've been programming, running websites for years, but I have no real interest in it and I'm at the point where I figure I could be investing the same time and energy into the pursuit of my real dreams. It would still be a struggle striving to reach the desired goal of success but I would at least be doing something I love.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to reply.

 

What is it that you love? Have you figured that out?

 

Same thing with me, everybody needs money I am very similar to you programmer working for the company and having some sites as a pocket money though not so small, I like what I do but I am so tiered of endless nights cofee frustration , adsense ban , boses etc . My dream jos is to become a carpenter making furniture from hard woods I bought a hobby machine and made few pieaces of furniture that i love. But opening a furniture company I would need around $200k . I know I would sucseed because I love it but don't have so much money and balls right now.
You should go to montain or some remote nature place alone with as less people as possible around you and just think walk. First days will be though but after that the ideas and morale will just come/jump, you will be more enthusiastic , just try and you'll see

Happy de-depression

 

So, what are your dreams?

 

My dreams are bumping a 6 month old thread.

 

I actually was feeling like this a few days ago - big time! I posted a blog about it too. The best thing to do is take some time out and go for a walk or something. take some time to regroup and think about anything

here is my post - what to do when depressed

You will pull out of it!

 

Oh crap, I didn't even realize that thread was that old, else I wouldn't of posted.
