What keeps you alive?

Post Reply New Topic

Whenever I wonder in the 'World of Depression' I keep myself busy actually obsessively busy with my job. Even a second of free time reminds me of dark past when every second every minute........ in this world made me regret the fact that I'm here. Back then TV was the only way out. Watching TV used to eat up 2/3 rd and sleeping and day dreaming the other third. Life is a lot better now coz I don't have to regret being born anymore.

For me, it's watching TV.

daydreaming

Surfing the net, music, daydreaming, eating, the tender hope that one day I will be accepted by society.

breathing and habit is why I live. I also got used to eating regularly. all these things contribute to my still being alive. I also find shelter to sleep under and wear clothing and try to stay reasonably warm and dry. These thing are basic and condusive to retain life. I also drink liquids as well as eat, and that also contributed to keep my body extant.

When I am no longer in the physical body on this plane, I will abandon all those habits and conventions mentioned above. And it will be about time! I do not like to care for and cater to my body, cause living in a body sucks, big time.

Eating, breathing and drinking; immune system and cardiovascular system; cell growth and whatever my body does without my knowledge.

Everything else is just distracting me from death....

Books, at the most basic, can't-take-away level. I can cope without video games and DVDs (not well, but I can cope), but without books, well, one of the phrases in my signature means "life without books is death".

Expressing myself (writing, drawing).

Internet, history, cats, music. But when I'm depressed it's my family that keeps me alive more than my obsessions because I become less obsessive and lose motivation when I'm depressed.

Benny & Joon and Spokane.

Spending time with my friends, and the world pisses me off. I'll die the minute I ain't pissed with the world (AKA, I am immortal)

Internet , games ,reading (and audio books), poker, writing.

Habit is also a factor but since I've got back into reading/listening to about 4 books a week I'm back up to being almost happy.

Harry Potter as a form of escape.
Or online communication with someone trusted. That can be crucial to me at times.
Tho sometimes, it is silence that is a lifesaver if I have had too much interraction.

Listening to music.

Watching TV.

Watching my DVDs.

Surfing the net. (Especially WP).

Riding My Bike.

Eating.

Drinking.

And Lots of sleep.

Stupidity.
