if youre feeling a little blue, come join our little basketball shindigs on the weekends. we are all nice folks. if you suck, i'll let you play on my team. i raise the level of folks. ok, maybe i don't but still, it's good to play some ball. you get to excerise and meet interesting folks.
Ballin is definitely a good way to channel your negative energies. That's what I look to do a lot when I'm feeling down. Use your problems as a chip on your shoulder and use it to help motivate you to perform your best. Winning is fun, will make you feel better about yourself. And even if you don't win, hey, there's still those endorphins you produced
I talk to my friends about that issue, I connect to the web (log in to this site and others), hear some music.
When did he first touch boobs? I'm 29 and I haven't touched a girls boobs!!! You know, I'm just, umm...waiting for the right girl, yea that's it.
come out and meet with us bro on Sunday, we'll be out there playing ball, you said you would before the season started and the season's over... so yea... as far as what I do, after I went through a break up, a shouting match with my parents about my debt, realizing that I am about to be 26 next month and still haven't got a degree, its like what someone else mentioned, you probably have it better than 85% of the people out there. I keep myself busy, kinda of laugh of the issues my ex is going through with her current bf (yea, i know im evil), working with my parents to help me pay my debt which should be paid off in July, and getting classes that will help me get a degree, its the little things that gets you out of the stage. hope your good bro, if you need to talk, know how to get in touch with me.
Be kind to yourself and do things for yourself your normally wouldn't do. Go and and join a pool comp or something to get yourself out of the house on a regular basis. Give it time and you'll be alright.

Hey Bladeage, do you go to school right now? I see a campus psychologist right now where I go to college (Lone-Star, yeehaw!). Best of all, it's free. I don't know if you have any stigmas of campus provided psychologists vs paid psychologists, but she's pretty good. We meet up about once a week and it helps. Naturally I wish I could see her about 5 times a week, but then I'd make no progress, lol.
I know how you feel man, I went through a phase like that. All I wanted to do was stay in and do nothing. That's not the answer. It's both physically and mentally dangerous towards your health. Like many have said, your best bet is to stay busy. Go out, interact, play sports, hang out... anything to keep your mind busy. Better yet, come out and play some b-ball with us on Sundays!
If it has lasted more than 2 weeks, go see a doctor. I'd go see a pyscharatrist(sp, too lazy to google it). He'll hook you up, try to get some cymbalta. I've never been a fan of the traditional excercise, talk, and friend approach. It could help, but if someone is really depressed, their chemicals in their brain may make them physically unable to do so. In short, we have drugs for a reason. There is a another approach of course, but due to the sensitivity of this board it would be in my best interest to not discuss it.
I try to limit my obligations to what I can manage, and play sports or video games to relieve stress.
Ok, I'll bite...What is it? Btw, not sure i mentioned this, but a friend of mine is kind of going thru this...He's been very down/can't sleep/eat for the past 2 plus months...I've tried to lift his spirits and call about every other day and just BS and let him know everythings going to be alright...He feels a little better but still not out of this funk...We're going to play racquetball this wknd...
