A cure for depression?

[Gigabitch]

Maybe you are trying to force yourself to change your life by making yourself miserable. You sound like you're in a terrible rut.

If your life sucks that bad, you should end it. I don't mean kill yourself, I mean get a different life.

What do you have the power to change?

mm... Booba, I haven't read all this thread through, but I paid attention to your posts, anyway. Let's see if this can help you, OK?

First of all, Estonia is way north in the globe. So, I have a question: Do you have normal day and nights over there? Is your country usually affected by long days and nights like the ones in the north pole? In many occasions (and I read a Finnish report about it) the weather itself can be destroying your will of feeling fine. In the same fashion, take a look at your house; maybe a change of colours can help you a lot. Try painting your house with a warm, lively, "tropical" paint, like reddish-orange or a shade of yellow and you might see some changes soon.

Second, why don't you try less individual exercising or sports? Tae Kwon do requires at least two people, basketball requires 10, etc. That will help you a lot more than just cycling or lifting weights at your own home, as you will just HAVE to socialize to play well.

Eat lighter meals. After eating your body uses a lot of energy processing your food, so just give it less job.

Can't think of many more options now, but take those ideas for a start and let me know if that helps, OK?

Weather is like shit, yes. Dirt, rain, grayness and shit everywhere, you slip and fall into a pile of shit very easily. I live in a typical east-europe styled five floored panel building and here isn't very much to paint... I better paint pictures, lol, which I like.

I should get myself a physical job of some sorts. But damn, I just can't force myself enough to find one. Social sports is a good idea, I used to play tennis, when I was a kid... But I am not very much into basketball... So, yeah, I should change my habits, but I just can't force myself.

[Tedel]

Well, good luck finding a social sport that suits you. The olympic games will sure be an inspiration, but, in the meantime, maybe you could join a club/gym/whatever you can meet some new people.

Boobaa you should seriously consider moving to a better climate. As much as I love winter for skiing, I HATE cloudiness and short days and it definitely affects mood. If winter was sunnier it would be better but it isn't.

Have you ever been to a place with a better climate or tropical climate? If you haven't and you can afford to visit one sometime and see how you like it, try it. I can almost guarantee you can find a southern climate you would like more. Not all tropical climates are hot, some are just warm. You might want to look into moving to a nicer climate like that someday so you don't live your whole life in a country with shitty weather. I plan on moving to Florida when I'm done with college because I love the weather so much. So think longterm.

Only someone who came from the snow could possibly think Florida weather is great. It is extremely humid. It feels like a big, sweaty armpit.

[DoesntMatter]

Haha hell yeah it's humid! I like humid heat more than dry heat. It does a better job of keeping it real

The only times I've been to Florida actually have been the summer

[vashti]

I like Florida in the fall, winter, and spring.

[DoesntMatter]

Later winter and early spring would my ideal time to go because the weather here is lousy and I want to see some sun. Damn I hate February. The first and worst time I had a major depressive crash was in early February

[all alone]

if you live in estonia or a northern country it could easily be seasonal affective disorder (SAD ironcially enough). Sounds somewhat sketchy but it does exist and it is very real.

Weed does the job... for awhile. Think it's time to chat to Vashti in PM's. Send me a PM when you read this Vash.

I don't like smoke Dunno, I am very potential smoker, but I just can't stand breathing it into my lungs. other people smoking is ok though...

But, if things go well, hopefully i am getting my hands on LSD soon. Anyone tryed?

[Gigabitch]

Don't do that, boobaa. You'll go to the bad place if you do hallucinogens in your current condition. I have a lot of experience with this stuff- please believe me.
