So tired

Post Reply New Topic

Of everything.. Problems.. Thats all there ever is. Im so tired of thinking and talking about it on here.. But its all I have so I might as well just stop talking all together, theres no point. Just thought I would throw that out there.

that sucks try to think happy things

what's exactly on your mind? if you dont mind my asking

no doubt i'll get flamed to hell and back again for telling you that THC is a lovely way to self-medicate.

but seriously. yeah.

times like this, besides the self-medicating, i just need to empty my head by keeping the hands busy. weaving or knitting is good for that.

Well.....vitamins work pretty good for me when I start
feeling a lot of despair and hopelessness. I am taking
fish oil. I have been taking it for about 3 days. I think
my bone spurs are getting better. I feel less weak I
think.

My dad told me a long time ago that when I feel that
way, I should bombard myself with super happy uplifting
music and people and stuff to read. I know, though, that
when I am really low I kind of get mad when people tell me that.
Sometimes I just sit with it and eventually it just fades away.
I guess I just get bored of feeling that way eventually. I wanted
to say that I feel that way too from time to time, and when you're
in it, it bites.

hey username:

ive read alot of your posts latly, they all seem sad, do you know exactly why you feel the way you do?

I know, at least for me, for a while I had a rough time, after collage, feeling like a failure or that I could never achive in life. I needed goals and a direction in life. What is it that you do, or aspire to do? You are not happy obviously in life currently, which sucks cause really you only have 1 life to live and so many feel so hopeless and sad its almost like wasting that limited time you have on Earth. Im not trying to make you feel worse, but if you feel like it, why dont you write a briefe summery of your average day, kinda let us know what it is that perhapse makes you feel so bad. Also add anything you want to do in life someday. Do you want family? good job/career? of course... im looking at it through the eyes of just an average american Joe. Perhapse you want something more? Personally im totaly happy with normal average Joe, but many are not (ive always wanted to just be normal). Do you or did u attend collage? What was your course of study? DO you have friends or any social connections? Family? Good living arrangements? Do you have everything you want/need in life?

I dont mean to pry, im just curious what makes you feel the way you do, been their at least breifly, feeling hopeless, lost and worthless, I pulled myself out of that, and perhapse if me and you are in any way similar, maby I can make suggestions. personally, i Dont think pot is the answer, as ive smoked it for many years, maby it works for some, but the trouble ive gotton into because of smoking/selling it + not being able to have a good job these days + making you stupid and forgettful, overall it could not, at least for me post collage, do anything positive in my life now.

Sorry to ramble... If you feel like posting a few answers to my questions, ill come back and read.

Try and have a good night!

No advice here. Just about a ton and a half of empathy. There may or may not be any point to what you're going through, but you're definitely not the only one in this rickety, stinkin' boat.

Hear, hear! I can so totally relate.... the last couple weeks I've been rock-bottom... darn-near suicidal.

The things you love, positive & uplifting music, getting out of the house once in a while for a walk in the sunshine and greenery all help lift me out of the funk a bit...

I know your anti-drug so I will suggest some non-drug ideas.

• 6 grams daily fish oil in divided doses with each meal.
• 30 minutes of exercise a day that gets your heart in the target zone for cardiovascular improvement.
• Get 1 hour exposure to sun light at high noon. And/Or buy full spectrum lighting for your room.
• Only lay in bed when sleeping.
• Cranial electrotherapy stimulation Saw a low cost unit online before.

Taking a long break from WrongPlanet might not be a bad idea, username. While it is a helpful site, being reminded of a personality defect consistently is bound to be depressing in and of itself. There is so much melancholy on these boards. Get out there to live for a while man.

1. I just hate the people I live with, how my life has been and how its going, and how no one seems to understand any of this except the people here. My entire life has been nothing but negativity with positive "teases" along the way. 2. Live on my computer. I dont physically have anyone/thing else of importance to me.
3. Wake up at noon+, spend all day and night on WP and Age of Empires II. Occasionally I will get up to eat or go to the bathroom. Sometimes I wake up early like today, but its rare. 4. Live a good life with friends and a girlfriend in an apartment or something similar. I dont have any of these things but its a dream Ive always had. 5. Attended a semester of college, got As and Bs then left due to social issues, I barely lived through highschool I dont understand how I did. My main course was music history. 6. No, except on WP. 7. Yes. 8. NO. 9. NO.

username88,
do go to an ASD club/day centre etc? if not,would like to go to one?
that would at least mean knowing other asders outside of WP,and might be more helpful as get to do things which would take up more of the time that is spent thinking about the bad things.
that is only assuming there is a club/centre nearby though.

I totally second this post, you need to go outside and do some exercise, I just started working out again it really does just re energize you, mentally and physically.

Username, if your so tired of talking about problems, well stop, it might be hard but its a step in the right direction. Everyone has problems, but we dont go around talking to everyone about it.

My whole life is one big problem, a lot of the time I dont know what else I could possibly talk about dime_jaguar. Plus its one of the ways I vent when Im talking..
I went to an ASD group once, and it didnt make me feel very comfortable.. They were making this video for PBS about it and I tried going on and supposidly I said a lot of useful information but I made them edit it all out because I thought I sounded horrible.. But I guess now that was expected of me in the first place.
TM1 thanks for the tips, I wish there was a diet I could take that didnt make life hate you so much.

Once you start talking abotu things that make you laugh or interest you, and other people also agree on them, youlle notice your problems alleviate, i know not all problems can be fixed this way but just try it, it cant get any worse right

Jeeze username, im so sorry u feel life has been hard. Perhapse its time to take a break from WP. I know I love sitting here talking, in fact I used to spend all day outside and now this is the first summer I have never went and did any real camping. Its all fine and good tho, but sometimes we need to take a break. Indeed, nobody will truly understand how you feel except for on here and a support group. I think I forgot to ask another important question, do you have a job? Thats the thing, its obvious to me you are smart (along with many others on here) and that although we may have a difficult time socally, our intelligence can get us a long way if we work at it. Maby you should take a break from the computer all together, and get out their, ya it sucks at first, but you develop a new routine, if u find even a halfway decent job then you can aford your own place away from those ppl u live with currently, while at the same time getting out their and establishing social connections and you are halfway their to your dream. Now all you have to do at that point is find a GF, and I must say ive searched for years before I found her, and once you get out their it may take ya a while, but you will someday find her. They say 40 is the age things start looking grim as far as finding a potential mate, so if you are any younger, and ill assume you are, its not to late.

All I can say is I wish ya luck, and it took me a while after collage to pull my life together, you are already a step ahead of me in that you were not in any legal trouble b4 you pulled your life outa the gutter. DOnt give up man! You still have a chance for a good life. If you lived around here id definatly be your friend!!

You are in the same situation I was in about 2 months ago but it is the case of getting over it.
