Irritated with life

Penelope_Grey · 04-29-07, 06:33 PM

Last thing I want to do is whine and complain, but I think I am at a bit of a low ebb at present. Lately I just don't know what to do with myself, sure I have my little job and I am happy there in my tiny office and I have my e-mail pal coming to visit me soon and all, but when I get free time its like, I don't know what to do at all! Its really frustrating and since I must share the PC with my brother that rules out games as a cure all.

I am still peeved about the death of Lizzie the Lizard. She still plays on my mind quite a bit, my chief confidant is now gone. So I have nobody to tell all my darkest secrets to. I feel a bit upset about it still.

I don't know... ugh... I seem to, look for things to do rater than just chilling and taking it easy. Maybe that is where I am going wrong in short, I don't feel too happy lately. I hope its just a temporary thing because I like to be happy and uplifted I hate feeling low.

You can tell all of your darkest secrets to us, we won't tell anyone.

Just find something that makes you happy and do it. If you don't like your job then (gasp) quit and find something you do like. Start an Iguana farm and listen to the lizard king. Far out man!

Brother, problem. No brother, no problem.

Sounds as if exactly that is the problem.

Getting out of the same old same helps, whenever im bored ( irratation to me means 'myself' is bored & needs a lift) i'll go out,grab some friends and hit the town, or watch a movie, or just being around friends helps.

Trick for me is to now and then temperary change the same old same lifestyle.

Rent 'Alien vs. Predator', get your favorite junk food and beverage, turn the volume up high and you will probably feel better after.

Have you tried laughter? I was just watching a show on satellite called America's Funniest Home Video's, comes on every sunday night over here.
Makes you feel good to laugh.

Have you tried a trip to the sea shore, especially on a stormy day with the waves bashing the rocks, causes positive eon's to burst in the air?
Makes you feel good.

Have you tried looking at old family photos with your brother or other family members?
Makes you laugh and feel good to remember old memories.

Have you tried tying one on? No don't do that ... alcohol is just a temporary solution and can lead to a life time of problems.
Plus shorten your life span.

Depression is real ... millions of people face it every day, even I have been known to be depressed, but my new computer lap top from Dell
(only $30 a month on approved credit) keeps me happy lately.
Now I have no excuse to finish writing the next award winning submarine screenplay to be sold to a major movie production studio.

Cheer up Penelope_Grey, we love you, subsim loves you, your brother loves you, even God loves you ...

I'll be praying for you ...

The best advice that I can give you:

Exercise. When I feel down, it helps a lot to do short runs. The positve effect of sports is well established and can be felt almost instantly. Just dont overdo it - its not necessary. Running 1 km every two days will already do.

Take everything with humour. That will also make you very popular with other people.

Eat well. When I feel unhealthy, I cook a soup everyday that contains good vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, garlic, and olive oil.

Don't do things that you don't want to just because everybody tells you they are good for you.

Find something that gets you hooked, like learning how to program or building aircraft models.

If you want supplements, take omega acid of very high EPA/DHA rating. Their effectiveness is disputed, but I found them to increase my energy and well being, without any side effects.

Volunteer to help others that you can contribute to, making you realize how much you can help others and bring to light how much you yourself have to be grateful for - with or without a lizard.

Matthew 11
[27] All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
[28] Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
[29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
[30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Philippians 4
[8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
