Lok_Simpson: Was really hoping to make this year exciting , but i still feel im in the same rut as last year , the work days are blending into each other , still struggle to raise a smile , and here i am , stuck looking at a keyboard as my fingers mash into buttons furiously typing words for others to read and comment on...
There must be more to single life than this!/rantP.s maybe i sould organise more nights out for dinners and the such

Hearin ya
But too much emphasis is placed on a new year being a miraculous cure-all for everything that needs fixing in our lives .. kinda highlights those things
Had a load of crap happening lately and as my neighbour said they hadn't seen me around much and was wondering how I was, I mentioned, very briefly, about a couple of issues I've been dealing with, to which he replied..
'Oh well, it's a new year ...'
Like what the fark has that to do with it
You sound a little depressed lok, maybe some good nights out wouldn't hurt for starters

Now that you have had your rant... feeling better..??
Life is what you make it..
Go do something that really turns you on... and good luck.
I know exactly what Lok means, I am feeling pretty much the same but...
I have decided to do something about it, joined a few different groups on meetup and I am going to go socialise and get myself out of the whirlpool I seem to be currently in.
Will it work, who knows but I am gunna have fun trying to make it work!

Chin upMaybe you could do one of those diaries for the things in your life you are grateful for, focuses your energy on the positive rather than the negative. I have never tried it myself, maybe I should coz I have been feeling a bit the same lately also. Maybe there is something in the water.

Yep, I too have found negative thoughts lead to negative actions, I always look at what I can do rather than focus on what I haven’t tried too do as yet, positive thinking leads to better health more opportunities and more friends! When you go about your day in a happy way people tend to gather around you for inspiration, bosses pay more attention too you and people at service desk give you better service, even neighbours say Gday! More frequently,
Or is that just Me?
Its kind of good to see im not the only one stuck in a bit of a rut. , i feel a bit better.
When i make NYR's i make sure they are achievable , and so far , for the last 10 odd years , i have achieved all but 1. and that was last years... to get out of the house more , but i ended up becoming more of a workaholic , mainly due to an injury and lack of after hours motivation due to said injury ( it was my neck ).
Does my profile really seem negative??
Off to a new doc in a few weeks to see about this unhappiness ive been feeling lately.
Rob , im not a boat person , but thanks for the suggestion
Serene , everything has a start and a finish , a year has this , so its a chance to make a start , with a finish line at the end to see if you got a better time than last year , my days/years luckily dont blend into a start of life to end of life , there is start and stop dots along the way.
Merri , i wish it was that simple , there are things that just arent fun when doing by yourself , im now the 3rd wheel with all my friends.. Im the only single person , which really sucks , and makes you question yourself and your values , and the bigger question of why am i the only single one and why cant i even get a date , which , inevitably throws you back into your shell as the insecurities kick in.
yes , i am depressed , its one of the hardest things to admit to , and all your friends know it , but dont offer any help , its such a touchy subject. I have a bipolar friend , i did as much as i could to get her out of the house and do exciting things , but she wasnt interested , and all the boyfriend did was stay home , play xbox live and smoke drugs , but she wont see how much of a loser he is and drags her down with him.. I gave up.
Sorry im ranting , its early and im now late for work dammit...

Lok, if work caused your injury why in the hell are you being a workaholic? Sometimes we reinforce bad things because they are habit. You do deserve to be happy, keep reminding yourself of that.
I am just getting over a work injury that has had me in its grips for 18 months. Change of position at work has helped but it is an injury that will never go away as we all use our hands.
For your neck, find a good physio/osteo or if you are lucky someone will know someone. I was lucky to be referred to a muscle manipulator by someone at work and he has fixed my neck and shoulders up pretty well, as well as my lower back.
Dont dwell so much on what you think you are, dwell on what you want to be. Think positive as any thing else will drag you down.
Find a way of making sense of your depression. Try to find a way of giving yourself a gauge of how depressed you feel and if you can, a pathway out. It doesnt happen immediately, but you can work your way back away from the dark/pit/black dog or how ever else you want to describe it.
you have made the first steps, you recognise it, now you just have to keep on the path to find your way out
good luck

Can I just say......THANK YOU for sharing your personal thoughts and insecurities Lok. It's not easy to admit our feelings especially when they are so personal as yours above.
I beleive many ppl have the same thoughts and feelings of insecurity, especially after being single for a while. I know I have felt exactly the same way. I sometimes find it very hard to keep positive and its a constant battle I seem to have with myself. Its all too easy to give in and sink into that state of depression.
Our society is built around couples and being single can often be isolating. I guess we are herd animals and our genes are geared up to seek a partner. I have only recently found the courage to travel on short holidays alone. Having previously felt I would look conspicuos (can't spell) going to places by myself. But having made the first step I realised that it was my own mind restricting me and no one else gave my a second glance. As a result I had a great time and have a wonderful memory to recall. I have found planning a future trip or even just an outing can give me something to look forward to and lift my spirits.
As you say it is often very difficult to talk to friends and family when feeling down as ppl often feel uncomfortable and possibly don't know what to say. Perhaps they too are dealing privately with their own battles and are fearful of being dragged under by our negitive feelings.
By sharing on here, I at least, feel validated that I am not alone in fighting these demons from time to time. And I'm fairly certain other do as well, even those that just read and don't reply.
I am generally a optimistic person and thankfully win the fight more often than not. As I'm sure you do too.
The biggest hurdle is realising when you are depressed and somehow finding the strength to seek help be it from a doctor or in some other way. Sometimes for me it can be as simple as going for a walk in the sun. Other times I have needed outside help to get back into the right frame of mind.
So thanks again for sharing and as you have taken the first step to seek help you are more than halfway there on the path back to happiness.
I wish you well......
