What is this feeling?

Well I don't know much about severe depression. i get down every now and then. I guess you kind of have to get to know yourself, get to feel proud of you. Relax and have fun. Find someone you can laugh with and be yourself not what they feel you should be. Someone who wants to be with you for who you are. Have you got someone special in your life? Could you go out for a meal?

Like I said I haven't ever been through severe depression so I may be making all bad suggestions - I have just written what I may do when feeling low. Sorry if I haven't helped but I am thinking of you.

Silent scream

The only human contact I will tolerate is over the internet...(not saying that I get annoyed by the current people that I talk to over the Internet or anything)
I seek solitude and isolation.
So no... There isn't someone "special" in my life.

Ok I guess I'm not very useful for this situation - but if you fancy a chat I'm on line for a little while?

Actually, on the occasions where I have not understood my own feelings - I have had a written chat with myself - I write as an adult to myself when I was a child - it's like a conversation. Me now talks to Me then! Sounds mad but it helps. i ask my young self how She feels and then reply as to ideas now. Maybe you could try that and perhaps find out what your problem with yourself is. Hope that makes sense. (Could be just more bad ideas but it works for me)

Sure... I guess...
I'm going to be on for about 30 more minutes to wait for dinner to get done so I can finally go to sleep...

I find it usefull sometimes to find things in my life that I don't want and eliminate them. What will/do you do with the solitude you seek.

Hi Antigreen,

I sense a lot of anger and frustration in you.
Are you easily upset by things you see or hear on TV or in newspapers or by peoples action beyond your control?

Kindest regards,
Simeon

I don't watch T.V... And I don't read the newspaper.
But I am highly irritable, so the smallest of things will make me mad enough to punch someone. And I mean the SMALLEST of things... Like a cat meowing or a pop up. But my anger has never gotten out of control.

I just sleep... Or possibly just stare at a wall thinking about my future...
Or perhaps instead read/watch some educational programming or play a video game... But, I get no joy out of any of these things... I get joy out of nothing... I do however like to sleep... I love to sleep.

This sounds like severe depression. Perhaps would be a good idea to chat to your Dr and/or seek counselling.

Perhaps a start would be to explore your feelings a little. A place to start may be your avoidance of life, ie tv/media, what feelings do these mediums raise in you, what is it you cannot tolerate....

Good luck

Oh yea...
I would just like to clarify, I do watch SOME T.V... But only the History Channel. And I need to think about that question for awhile to give a proper response... But I'm going to leave soon to go visit my aunt Liz so I probably won't give you my response till next week.

No problem, I can understand why 'history channels' would be okay.

I hope you enjoy your break, make the most of it...

Take care

Why the history channel would be ok seems to make perfect sence
