Life isn't what I thought it would be.

The feeling you get after you've worked your ass off so long just to know that you've earned enough money to break even on what ever it was that you owed on, that's how I've felt everyday for the past two months.

The world has molded me into something that I never wanted to be.

Is it good or bad that I have a hard time giving a fuck about anything?

I'm sure of one thing though.

Life isn't a bitch.

It's a fucking monster.

A monster that looks like Jessica Biel.
 
Life's a Bitch, Then you Die!

That said, everyone goes through periods like that, if for some reason you don't know what the OP is talking about watch the movie Groundhog's Day. There's a scene where he describes his situation of sheer desperation and hopelessness, and the guy next to him answers..

"Yep... that pretty much sums it up."

For some people these periods are rare, for some it goes on so long they lose themselves altogether, whether in a tie working 16 hours a day, or in drinking ones self to death on the streets. Some people kill themselves, and some kill others and then themselves.

So what you need to do is find the good things you like, and more importantly, that you Actually can do! Do them often, let them help you to realize there is good in this world, it just takes more work than in the movies.

That's how I get through.
 
I wish life was like groundhog's day though. What he learned to do was pretty damn amazing. I guess it'd eventually get boring, but by then you pretty much "learned your lesson."

Think about it. 24 hours. He could have easily gotten a car and gone tons of different places to keep things fresh and new instead of saving the same damn kid day after day. Too bad it was snowy, else he could have just flown out somewhere.

A day without reprocussions that you could relive to fine tune, sounds like a fun time to me.

Yes, I get the point of the topic. Some of us are just optimistic after finals. :happysad:
 
I couldn't agree more, BUT I was talking about the redneck in the bar who felt his life was like that anyways, without the benefits! The main character was a whiny pussy, though funny.
 
Welcome to the grown up world. You've got decades of the same hard work for the same "breaking even" feeling.

Unless you're one of the top 1% of income earners. Then you'll continue to get rich while the rest of us get poorer and poorer. Sit safe in your mansion surrounded by your wealth. But remember, we outnumber you and we have more guns that you do. You have your wealth because we haven't reached our breaking point. Yet. Hope you have a good day.
 
Firstly I shall start by answering your main question: It is good that you have a hard time giving a fuck about anything. Because its natual. Life in itself is very much like a monster, its a lot of violence and death and taking shit from idoits who run ur life. however I dout it looks like Jessica Biel, and you really should stop letting the world mold you into things you wish not to be, try molding the world learn about nuclear weapons
 
Welcome to adulthood.

Don't work to have things, work because you take pride in accomplishing something with your life. Some of the happiest hardest workers make shit wages. Some of the biggest wage earners hate life. Its not about what you can get, but about how you get it.


As long as you love the people around you, and don't let yourself get lost, you'll be allright.
 
That's just it. I'm not working to get things but more or less to accomplish the work itself.

I'm tired of watching bad things happen that are out of my control.

It's hard to be happy when everything around you reminds you of shit you want to forget.

Depression is a motherfucker.

I feel like something is wrong with me.
 
You should be working to pay your bills and put food on the table. Who cares if the work gets done as long as the check doesn't bounce



Then close your eyes. Because that shit is just going to happen.



It only reminds you of bad shit because you let it. You want to dwell in sorry and misery so you do. If you decide not to let the shit bug you anymore and actually make an effort to move the hell on then you will.

Two choices in life: accept the bad shit and move on or dwell on the bad shit and cling to it like a life raft. Only problem with the second option is that it's a fucked up life raft because it'll pull you under.



Go see a shrink then. If you honestly think you're suffering depression get licensed help. Don't self medicate with weed, booze, hookers, working out or anything else. Don't let some halfassed retard on the internet tell you how to cope. It's an actual disease and can kill you. It requires the care and guidance of a trained professional. Many docs will just put you on pills. Maybe that's what you need. But find a doc that'll actually try to help you figure out what the issue really is.
 
Trust me Pariah, I've had many a day and night like this. Only thing that clears it up for me is sleep, and the thought that everyday is a new day. Even if you have to work at a job you hate (again, which I'm sure everyone has) try to view it positively. It sucks, I know I know, and again I know but it's something that if given enough time you won't even notice. You'll eventually come back around and ask yourself why you were so upset in the first place.

And you may think you're depressed, but chances are you're not. DO NOT go to a psychiatrist. You'll get anti-depressants and will never be able to experience emotion again on your own. I'm telling you, anti-depressants are only meant for the rare 2% of chronically "depressed" people that are out there. Otherwise you'll view the world like you do after taking LSD: something is different, not everything is as vivid as before, and something has most definitely been altered out of your control.

Take every single day by its own, don't let everything get to you. You're a human being, everything is seated in that creation of evolutionary genius behind your eyes. Tell it who is in control.
 
Ok. To put it simply.

Everything in my life is going smoothly but I'm very unhappy.

I'm doing everything that I should be doing but I feel unaccomplished.
 
If it was all going so smoothly and you're unhappy, then maybe it's time to shake the room a little bit.



Out of High School? Haven't gone to college yet? Took the wrong career? There's always time for change (even if you're married and have a kid... trust me).
