Feeling Miserable

All of a sudden (and I'm talking the last hour or so) I feel totally miserable. I'm sitting here in tears as I type. I don't know what's up with me. I've had a really good few days, and had a great night last night messing about with my flatmates, but I just feel really sad.

I feel a bit pointless. This is my own fault for listening to musicals knowing I will never be able to sing like that, watching films wishing I could act like that and talking to people who's lives just seem far more interesting than mine.

:frown:

:hugs: If you want to talk more about this feel free to PM me, I'm afraid I can't think of much to say to you at the moment, I was crying a lot on friday for no reason as well. What makes you think you will never be able to sing like those who do musicals? Nothing is impossible. Your life is interesting I'm sure, though I also get times where i get bored of my life. Let it all out; it will help you feel better to rant :hugs:

Just go outside; it's a nice day - plenty to feel good about.
I know how you feel, last night I was on top of the world, having a great night out with my friends. Now I'm sitting here feeling a little empty. Everyone else's lives seem so much less complicated than mine and they all seem to be such fascinating people, with so much going for them. I'm struggling a bit with work and it doesn't help everyone's going on about what good grades get they're getting. I just feel so inferior compared to them. To make things worse, all my friends are in long term relationships or in the "honeymoon phase". I feel a little lonely :frown:

I think these can be some of the best and worst years of your life. I keep reminding myself how lucky I am to have all the oppotunities and freedom I do and most of the time I genuinely believe it. I think it's the combination of hitting such highs and lows (combined maybe with a bit too much alcohol!) that can screw with your mind.

Hang in there, you'll feel better soon. Don't spend too much time pondering on how low you feel. Distract yourself, go for a walk or watch some tv, do something that makes you feel good about yourself.
Pm me if you want to chat!

Well... my best mate just came over and she's just broke up with her boyfriend, and while this may sound like the single most selfish thing in the world, I can now concentrate on making her happy and that'll take my mind off being miserable.

I've just realised that it's been a year since I split up with my ex - maybe that was it on a subconcious level? Who knows?


Thanks everyone for being so sweet :smile: Its really helped :smile:

I'm sorry but this post is pathetic. If from what I understand, you are saying you're 'depressed' because you aren't perfect?

Seriously, grow up.

Lol, thankyou :p: :tee:
You know, it's not just girls that feel like this... except when guys feel this way, it's harder because you can't always tell your mates... you don't want to look stupid with the guys, and you don't want to look weak in front of the girls. At least you girls can talk to each other!!

No, I just feel sad. I came for a bit of support.

If you're not going to help I'd rather you didn't make generalised comments when you have clearly read into the thread in a way I didn't intend.

And as for "serious, grow up." I think that statement would be better suited aimed at yourself.

Haha, funny.

Would have been better if I wasn't a frequent sufferer of depression however, and have fought off going back on them for some time.

Use morphine instead then.

According to the Guide (you're ah B'ham right?) 25% of student homes have rats... you may just find yourself a pet next year!

How do you expect people to respond to such a thread? If you read it again yourself you will laugh at what you are saying. You haven't given a reason to be upset, just saying you're not perfect makes you sad... that isn't really a good reason.. it is just common sense, no one is perfect.

Anyway, to be fair I don't know about your past life but if it was that bad then I'm sure you wouldn't feel terrible over not achieving perfection.

If it were possible to feel happy due to common sense, then many people wouldn't feel sad much at all, and many would likely kill themselves. At one extreme, humans can feel so down and depressed (even for no reason, or for 'bad' reasons) that they can't function properly at all, while on the other, they can live, and be happy despite awful things happening to them.

Being unhappy for no reason, or for not being perfect isn't a stupid thing (happens to me often), it just happens sometimes (to some more than others). I find myself having to tell myself that I'm just 'feeling a bit off' and that I'll feel better soon, as I've yet to find an instant cure. Prozac isn't one. nor is valium, etc...

Sometimes, I just wake up knowing that I'm going to be unhappy all day, without any reason for it. I know I've got a good life infront of me (unless something unlucky happens), but sometimes, I just feel so empty and hollow, and I don't know what I want, or what will make me happier.

I think i'm rambling a bit now, but oh well

Hope you're feeling better soon


Happiness is not a fish that you can catch (Our Lady Peace fan :smile: lol)
I've been feeling a bit miserable lately for all kinds of reasons....hormones, friend situation falling apart, exam pressures etc....maybe I'll get over it. :hugs:
