then recently you were communicating with a man about dating.

So.....

the resolution or non-resolution of those "pursuits" seems to have to have some impact.


Why would you have wanted to be in a church unless you felt the "need" to?

Of course, no one here will question why a person pursues dating.

resolved satisfactorily.

So, how did you expect to feel if you had "pursuits" and they weren't satisfactorily resolved?

Did you expect to "rise above" your previous pursuits "nonchalantly"?

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

so.. i've been feeling as though i am depressed as well
and the other day a friend and i were like- hey, lets take an online self assessment
(partly because i am taking a statistics course that is all about learning how to analyze things like depression, so this was me on full-nerd mode, trying to explain wtf i was doing homework on a saturday at midnight).

the results were kinda surprising cause i found that i was considered mildy depressed (friend- moderate)
its not of course a gold test or anything (you'd need to see a psychiatrist for that)

but the results did two things;
1. reassured me that i was just mainly feeling blue cause life sucks and trump is president (i do blame this admin for every.single.thing including the weather)
2. shifted my perspective slightly- its not as bleak as it feels and i am certainly not hitting any of the key depression indicators).

*well i guess one more thing was that i could explain how and why you use a different methodology to analyze this data (alert full nerd mode)

anyway, here's the test. Maybe you just need some therapy to work some things out. amybe you are depressed and in that case you do need a diagnosis
or maybe you are like me who often feels completely at loss about how shit has turned out in general....

all the best either way.

you've been seeking companionship; I'm assuming that hasn't worked out.

maybe having company/family recently and now they're gone and it has you feeling some type of way.

It's normal.

and you have the answers.

we're here.

I can't fix it. but you can inbox. I'll listen.

What's up?

Is it related to missing something or someone?

Yeah this time of year sucks. Find a way to take whatever pain you're in and focus on a plan to conquer it improve your life in general.

In other news, I just sent my dna test to ancestryDNA. I am looking forward to the results. Have you considered a dna test?

In response to Reply # 0


          

I've been very depressed in the morning, then gone for a hike - sometimes as short as 3 miles and halfway through I notice I feel a ton better. Maybe not "back to normal" but better - and I feel better for most of the rest of the day.

If you can exercise a bit, especially outdoors, it might help.

someone once told me "you're not depressed" and that was kind of offensive of them to assume

it's tricky, because you can be fooled into thinking you're having an episode when you're just hungry or anxious

you can be unhappy or dissatisfied, I hope it's not depression. whatever you do, try your best to stay off medication. I attempted it for a week, and never again.

Trump, loneliness, being Black in America, wars and rumors of wars, refugees, a disconnected world

It's hard to be conscious and not be a little depressed

but surround yourself with people and things you love, talk it out, get a dog, talk it out, volunteer and exercise

the longer you go down that spiral the harder it is to come out.

while i'm understandably sad and discouraged at being fired from job, and the difficulties in finding a new one, i've been having a hard time explaining to folks that its more than that...that my sadness is deeper

this captured it perfectly

and its so hard to reach out to people. everybody has their lives, which comes first...then i look like i'm just "attention seeking" ugh

but yea i do need to be around people more right now

i mean... this shit has been something else altogether.
in america its seeing just how little value black folk have. even after all this time
has had me thinking a lot about the history of this country, and just *how much harder* it had to have been for folk to *just make it*
i mean.... they can treat the ex-prez like shit...
i dont feel like i have the moral aptitude to deal with this
and then i turn to world news and... this *feels like a global phenomenon.

i could kind of handle the rest... its the additional existential shit that has me like 'oh'

my boy said he is thinking about getting a farm and raising Alpacas

I thought he was joking but I get it.. sometimes I want to unplug from the matrix and keep it simple.

other times I think about moving to Asheville, painting and becoming Black Hippies.. and my wife is down for it.

I’m not depressed I’m stressed. At least until I found out shamecca passed away.
I need a vacation with my family. No work no phone no car no school no extended family for 3 weeks. Lots of spicy food and fruits and long sleeps.
