...and even that you're not doing well?

I dunno. I get up every day, I go to work, I call people names behind their back, and I go home. Usually, I get drunk. Repeat endlessly.

Life's reached somewhat of a homeostasis. It's crappy, and I'm getting fed up with it. I'm getting angrier more and more often with less and less provocation. I just had to go take a smoke break just to calm myself down after I blew up after getting off the phone with a particularly stupid customer.

I find myself having to do that all too much lately.

Here's a good idea. Why not grow up and stop feeling so sorry for yourself. If you have clinical depression, then either seek help for it or start taking care of it yourself.

Sitting around and complaining all the time solves nothing and being drunk and stupid doesn't solve things either.

Whoever said I was feeling sorry for myself?

If you have clinical depression, then either seek help for it or start taking care of it yourself.

...or depressed?

I'm just burnt-out on life in general, really.

Well, obviously.

I've never really felt that way yet. I've always been a risk taker and go getter.

Find your passion and spend all of your free time planning and working towards your ideal life. It's up to you to go and get it as it won't come looking for you.

BTB, I will never understand you. You have the potential to break out of the white trash, poor man lifestyle that you constantly bemoan, yet you take no initiatives to improve your life beyond where you started. You are smart enough that you don't need to live like the other toothless trailer trash in your neighborhood. You have the ability to be the guy laughing at the Jerry Springer show rather than the guy starring on the Jerry Springer show. Yet you do nothing, and wonder why your life seems to be "going through the motions." You are content working crap jobs cleaning equipment that makes egg rolls or handling mindless, go-nowhere tech support for Yahoo. You are content marrying the chubby girl that lives two trailers down, then you wonder why the marriage sucks and get divorced after 6 months. You are content blowing your pay checks and getting wasted all the time. You are content to do nothing, yet you can't understand why your life isn't going anywhere...

Where are you ambitions? Where are your goals to get out of the **** hole life you were born into? You are too smart to be stuck in the situation where you are. You know, it's funny, because you constantly make racist comments begrudging illegal Mexicans for being lazy, but they're working far harder than you are and have far less potential to get somewhere in life.

I don't know man. There are a lot of users on this website who are dumb as rocks and have no ability to ever live beyond low class. You are not one of them. You can definitely get yourself a better education, better job, and better life. You have no excuse not to. Maybe this is why you feel like your life is pathetic: because it is, and you choose for it to be that way.

Ever reach a point in lfie where you feel you're just going through the motions?

Nope, because despite all the BS in my life, everything happens for a reason, and all that I go through now will be more than worth it in the future.

I gotta say The Admiral is kinda right. You gotta pull yourself out of this slump.

That's my word.

I guess where Johnny has it wrong is that I'm not really in a crappy place in my life. I have what I consider to be a great job, I DO aspire to save up to move out of my trailer park one day (in the meantime I stay because it's dirt cheap), and I'm not upset or depressed like everyone seems to think I am.

I just... don't care anymore.

"Awww, come on, BTB... Touch it!" -Moonjay

Long answer: Well I have to say I haven't...at least for an extended period of time.
The only time I ever felt that way for a little while was when I was depressed. Looking back, I wasn't depressed, depressed, I was emo depressed. Attention whore depressed. I'm glad I snapped out of it.

Short answer: Yes.

The short answer is correct, but is is accurate?

You reckon you have a great job, yet you feel the need to come here and ***** and whine about the crappy customers you put up with on a daily basis.

In answer to the topic question, I get like that every now and then. It happens to me when I feel like I don't have anything to look forward to. Never lasts more than a couple of days, because I remember that I'm doing what I'm doing for a reason, and I see the bigger picture.

Where's your bigger picture?

~Karpah~ What do girls do during sex, anyways. They just lay there and moan a lot!

From the "tone" of your posts, I do say you are in a constant state of despair. Getting drunk every night, bemoaning the fact you are in a lousy job, don't like to get together with people, like to be isolated.

These are classic signs of depression.

I'm just gonna go on a ramble spree here, so don't mind me. Some depression can not be overcome in a couple of days. Some say I have the easy life. I admit, I don't work and I'm on SSI for bipolar and ADD. And let's just get a couple things out of the way now: One, why I'm on this is my problem alone, I don't need to hear any crap rants about "you shouldn't be on SSI blah blah blah", because mostly, it's really no one's business (no offense). And two, people thinks it's easy being on SSI, well let me tell you, it's not.

Now back to the main thing. I've had depression for atleast 10 years now (probably more). I may appear okay on the outside, but on the inside, I've been in the same state of depression for several years, I just don't show it. Oh I've had some "on the outside" depression for several days, and it sucked badly. No matter what, I always feel miserable. Not saying I feel sorry for myself, just that I do feel rather miserable and tired about how things in my life are going. Yeah it may look like my life is okay, but to me it's not and I want it better. I could change that yeah, but that's what my FAQing has been for for the last four years. It's helped me handle my depression alot (mostly in the last 2 years really).

I'm not sure if Chad is "feeling sorry for himself". Maybe it's that he's looking at his life and wondering why the hell did it turn out the way it did, when it could of been so much better. That could be why he's just not feeling himself. Things around him for the last year has just fell apart on him (no offense Chad), and he's just now trying to understand why that is. Something like that you can't just figure out overnight, it may take months to figure out, because if something is truly missing, he needs to take the time time figure out what it is. While you all may criticize him and stuff, fine, but whatever Chad is going through, may not come that easy to him as it would anyone else.

Life is full of irritations, and I'm just one of them. Get use to it and move on.

Devin: *nods* Good point.

SF76: I understand your point well. You see, you have sought out help for your problem. That doesn't necessarily mean that it can be cured, but you have at least tried to get some help. Chad isn't doing this though. Instead, he complains about everything and wonders why things are the way they are. My suggestion was for him to get some help. Whether it is effective or not I cannot say, but at least he can try.

You reckon you have a great job, yet you feel the need to come here and ***** and whine about the crappy customers you put up with on a daily basis.

That, my good lady, is done purely out of a need for entertainment.

Well, that and a general sense of pity and fear for the human race as a whole.

Where's your bigger picture?

It's still there. I've just... well, stopped caring for the time being, I guess.

From the "tone" of your posts, I do say you are in a constant state of despair. Getting drunk every night, bemoaning the fact you are in a lousy job, don't like to get together with people, like to be isolated.

These are classic signs of depression.

As I just mentioned, I'm not sad, upset, or emotional. If anything, I'm UNemotional. I'm just... here. I do the same thing day afetr day and still pursue the same goals as before, it's just a lot more meaningless now.

I just honestly don't give a damn anymore.

Kev, you're forgetting the constant need to be hitting up Mexican hookers. ;)

She was a stripper, not a hooker >.>

Besides, she was fired for doing crack, I think.

I go through that kind of thing all the time. And it may be part of the reason that I haven't enjoyed a summer since 2002.

I just get fed up with life, decide the whole thing is just repetitious, crappy motion played out for me and just wanna blow the whole thing over and die. About once a year, I get like that, completely burned out, and just sick and depressed of life in general. And believe me, I have the ability to change it, I'm just an idiot and don't, thinking it will change itself suddenly and miraculously.

Obviously I'm wrong, but I digress.

What I recommend for you is that you get a vacation sometime. Try something new because too much of a good life is bad. I think it fits into that whole "to have perfection we must have imperfection" thing, or whatnot.
