  • Not quite depression, either...

    Anyone ever get in a "bluh" sort of mood? You're not really depressed, but nothing is really giving you much happiness at the moment.
    My job is fine, but finding motivation has been difficult as of late. I feel almost bored because I'm not horribly challenged right now. I can wait to the last possible second on a project, spend an all-dayer cranking something out and it is received as gold.

    I'm pretty sullen around everyone lately. Nothing personal. I'm not mad nor sad. I just have nothing really interesting to report.

    Training is the only thing that is giving me some zeal lately. Otherwise, everything is just a dark grey.

    Normally when I'm bonafide depressed because depression runs DEEP in my family. My mom would lay in the bed for days, not doing anything because of hers. My grandfather was on medication for his. But I have my own coping mechanisms that usually work well. I create motion and things work out fine. I'll jump on the train, hit downtown or other spots I've been known to frequent and next thing you know, I'm sunny. But lately, it seems that nothing is really bringing my joy.

    Anyone ever get like this? What do you do? I am NOT going to get on any medication because everyone I know who gets on it plunges in this never-ending cycle of medicate/counter-medicate. I haven't been smoking lately, but that isn't it. Bluh....

    Well, this is just advice off the top of my head, didn't give it too much thought, but...

    try something new. Break the cycle of everyday stuff - the daily grind. Either take a class, or a trip or something - whatever. Just break the cycle, man.

      Good point. I think the daily grind has finally gotten to me. I just got back from a short trip to Japan and that helped a little. What type of classes do you recommend I take?

        Well, personally, I love art. I'd take a dance class (swing, ballroom, salsa, you name it), or a drawing/painting class, or just plain old philosophy.

        I'm actually taking a philosophy class next semester.

        But then again, I don't know you and your tastes...so it might differ for you.

                it's just a faze. It'll go away in a lil while. In the mean time, just keep yourself busy and surrounded by people you like.

                ORR, Binge, that always helps.
