[editline]14th August 2011[/editline]
that's all over though now, since I'm taking off to uni and hopefully seeing very little of them, despite the fact the damage has been done, both to me and to her, and I don't think our friendship ever really recovered
been feeling shit for a while now, I'm so stressed and frustrated because of everything that's happening at the moment;
I've hardly been sleeping lately, it's making me function like shit at school and around people. I've lost my appetite almost completely, I've lost weight and I feel like I'm going to vomit all the time.
My uncle attempted suicide last week, he failed, luckily. Mum is really depressed because of it, atmosphere at home is unbearable.
My best friend says he's going to kill himself soon, I can't help him because he currently lives in different state to me.
To top it all off, I've got major ex girlfriend issues. It was her party last night, I was dancing and bam I turn around and she's making out with someone right in front of me. I didn't start shit, just walked to macca's with a friend while really drunk, crying and punching stuff along the way. hands are really fuckin torn up now.
Nothings working anymore, what do?

Deleted my Facebook account today, I noticed that using it just made me feel worse.
Seriously, why the fuck do people always have to be posting shit like "OH YEAH ME AND MY FRIENDS ARE HAVING SUCH A FUN TIME AT THIS CLUB WOOOO!!" ? Who out there actually gives a shit? All it does is make people feel left out and shit because they aren't out having fun themselves.

Alright, this is going to sound like common sense, but you need to use some discipline and take a self conscious effort to take care of yourself. Force yourself to get the 8 hours or 4 REM cycles of sleep your body needs, even if it means starting to fall asleep at like 8pm to get it all in. You also need to eat so that your depression doesn't also make you an anorexic. No matter how disgusting it is to down food, you have to find some way to get it down your throat.

I know this feeling, my uncle has also attempted suicide on a number of occasions. The best thing you can do is put some distance between himself and you. Trying to comfort him will only result in you feeling more depressed because he won't change over a few words. He has to take the first step in getting better for words to help him out.

Assuming he's not over the age of 18, tell his parents about his suicidal tendencies. Appeal to them to get him some help with all of the problems he's having and going through,

At least you didn't take it out on her or the dude she was kissing. The one thing to take out of this situation is that she is probably over you or she is trying to start drama (can't tell if she intentionaly kissed the dude to piss you off). Either way, it's her loss to lose someone like you and you need to find some way to move on from her. My suggestion is to distract yourself with getting past your depression.

No one really does care what they are doing and neither should you. You are you're own person, you shouldn't feel bad about yourself because of what someone else is doing. Just remember in situations like these, the only person who can make you feel bad is yourself; Not the person having a good time, he's not intentionally rubbing it in your face, you're just distorting how it looks because of the mood you're in.

it was the third guy she'd hooked up with since we broke up a month ago, lots of pain has come from what she's done. I know I can't control what she does, but the timing is just horrible.
I called her last night after the party because I was really upset, I needed to talk to her but she just hung up once I started talking. I got a message from my friend today saying that she doesn't want me to talk to her anymore.
It feels so unfair that she's moved on so easily and quickly. I've been trying so fucking hard to move on and find someone at the parties I've been going to. I'm a nice guy, and I would easily say that I'm attractive, but it's so hard to get the attention of anyone.
It was also fucked because it was just the three of us on the dance floor last night, and they just decided to do it right in front of me.
I'm tired

That's her loss. You really cared for the relationship so she lost someone wonderful. You can't force a relationship. Not with your ex-girlfriend and not with anyone else. If you don't want to go through another hard break-up you really should just wait until you find that right girl, not anyone you can get your hands on. Getting a girlfriend isn't the most important thing in the world. :)
Hope I'm not giving wrong advice here :ohdear:
seems like the right advice, because it's made me feel better
I'm not sure if I should ask this here since it's an anti-psychotic but does anyone know anything about the medication Risperdal? I've looked up things like it's side effects on Wikipedia but I would like to know if anyone knows anything about it here.

Why? Are you planning to take it because you're bipolar or schizophrenic?
Well, I feel like getting something off my chest. I've had probably the shittiest weeks of my life. My favorite uncle with 3 daughters all younger than ten and a son not even two yet recently passed away. My mom flew out overseas for the funeral and I'm staying with my grandma that stays in her room and watches movies all day. And today is my birthday.
My days seem to drag on forever, I've lost my appetite, and i can't seem to fall asleep. And on top of all this bullshit my chronic migranes are making a come back. They stopped for about a year. But on a positive note his death stopped me from being suicidal. I feel first hand what it's like to lose a family member and I don't want to hurt my father, mother, brother, friends, etc, etc like that.

I lost my grandfather several years ago. Jesus H. Christ I felt like shit. It's terrible. Six months later I broke down in school because of it. Honestly, there is no easy way at all to deal with it other than think of the happy times you had with him, dig? Happy birthday by the way, mate.
[QUOTE=Evilan;31738159]Why? Are you planning to take it because you're bipolar or schizophrenic?[/QUOTE]
I'm schizophrenic and it's what the doctors prescribed me.
[QUOTE=Absentman;31740163]I'm schizophrenic and it's what the doctors prescribed me.[/QUOTE]
What tablets do you get? Mine don't work very well for me.
Edit: I'm a bad reader.
The tablets are supposed to help keep your mind from seeing and hearing things, but all it does for me is lower it a notch.
I still see things and hear things, but it's worth it. Trust me.
I see, if you don't mind me asking but have you experienced any side effects from the medication?
Probably the worst side effects you'll get would be a slight headache or drowsiness, but that's mostly a maximum.
Plus it would be prescribed based on you, so it won't kill you if your wondering.
Hugs heal ppl soul.
With out meds, how can I deal with the lack of motivation and the lack of self esteem in my actions?

Therapy.
If you can, try to address the issue that is causing you to be depressed in the first place.

Here, in this thread?
Why not, it's not like any of us are judging you.
I don't know, opening up to someone isn't easy for everyone. Even in a non-judgemental situation, you can't help but feel that a non-judgemental situation doesn't exist and you are just showing off your own weakness in an attempt to gain pity.
Is there a term for that? Refusing to give any information about yourself from paranoia, from fear of vulnerability, from general pride and not wanting to be a burden on others?

I always listen to this when depressed, it makes me feel shit
been listening to it on loop for the past hour
[editline]17th August 2011[/editline]
yeah i aint too happy tonight
I have just recovered from, what I am pretty sure was psychosis. It has been affecting me for the past six months. That could be the reason for my depression.
A couple of weeks ago, I have realized that I take very little pride in what I do and accomplish. It is just killing my motivation.
I would like to find a solution that does not involve medicine.
Just tried to "Face my fears", terrible idea.
Ruined my whole day, and I was having a bunch of fun too :c

Don't dwell on the past for too long.
Just look forward to what you will have later.

No, I just don't ever need to face my fears, that was the dumbest thing I've ever done in a long time, never doing THAT again. I played some KF and will smoke some tonight. It will take time but I will forget her existence again eventually.
Edit: Never mind, I have no lighter.
Edit 2: Never mind again, I found a lighter, and some band-aids. Tonight is getting better c:

Talk to a therapist or counsellor. You can even talk to shrinks without requiring medicine.
But sometimes there just isn't a solution without medicine.
Whats getting me down lately is that some fuckers are starting rumors about me being with my girl.
I can care less what they are saying because people already think I'm fucked up.
But it's why, I had no problems with them and they're starting this.
Also college it hasn't even started yet and I am stressed out.
