why am i feeling down?

it's not often that i feel this depressed, but it's depressing still when you can't think of what has made you depressed :frown: sorry, excuse me rambling for abit. exam results? perhaps. i already know what i'm going to get anyway :frown: fact that i haven't done any revision? hmm, that has never happened though. something that must be done but not yet? pfft, i can think of zillions :s-smilie: i can't get the hang of physics, i'm not following my french timetable, i still can't do crochet, i believe i'm going to die tomorrow, i believe i haven't done a decent thing in this world worthy to be remembered, and there is a massive spider upstairs in my bedroom so i can't go to bed early to think about these thing but wait till dad comes home. can't decide which college to go? meh, IB or not, still need to get prepared. and i haven't done a single bloody preparation :frown: or is it the fact that going abroad for holidays was cancelled but everyone else is so i don't have my mates to go out with to town? :frown: or the fact that i haven't done red's sig yet? :s-smilie:

aye, maybe that's it :biggrin:

:frown::frown:

therapy - needed - before i post another poem in the gallery :frown:

ok it seems like you have a lot of stuff on your mind. Firstly, get a glass and trap that spider so you can go to bed. Then, you cant change what your exam results are gonna be so stop worrying about them, and you still have time to decide which college you want to go to. Got no mates around to go out with? Use the time to practise your crocheting. And youre not going to die tomorrow.

harhar, do you really think i would go upstairs and trap a spider the size of a tennis ball? first the pigeon, then the bloody wasp, and now THIS. animals seem to love this house for some reason :s-smilie: i dunno. i feel utterly helpless and useless :frown: crochet can go to hell, i've been trying to do it for 5 hours in one day but nuuu.....i wonder why i can't make the loop holes bigger :frown:


sorry for the rant. and i love your tone btw, tis better than people trying to convince me by saying 'you'll be alright, love, you always turn out OK in the end' :wink:

When I'm feeling down, sometimes the best thing to do is take the focus off myself for a while. There is no point in analysing why you are depressed if you can't find an answer straight away. I think you should accept that you feel down at the moment and try and work through it by doing things you enjoy. Also, maybe you'd feel better if you did some preperation? Procrastinating probably wont help! Everyone goes through these phases. As orbelina said, you'll be fine! :smile:

do the things that i enjoy? bloody hell! i've even lost interest in art :frown: hmm maybe i should invite the boys just for the heck of it, maybe they'll bring food as well and then we can watch a pirate film from a projector.

erm, slugs, in your kitchen? :s-smilie: are you sure? sure, i wish we can swop that massive spider for your slugs, i think we have to get the camp beds out afterall :frown:


knitting is NOT easy, darn it, even my little sister can do crochet :frown:

its like i'm living in hollow hills,
my thrills my chills my spills,
the pain,
blood drains the carpet a colour rojos,
**** the host,
up most i find myself alone,
in a house,
with no where to call home,
don't condone but do'n't live in ignorence,
hence my relations ain't significant.


a litle rhyme in lack of helpful imformation.

You're feeling down and nervous because of all the things you mentioned put together.

It could be that one big thing that you're unhappy about is making you unhappy about everything else; like a domino effect. My guess is that you're over-anxious about your exam results and are worrying about it because you feel that you've not done good enough (because you think you didn't do enough revision) and/or because your holiday was cancelled but you really wanted to go.

I find that if you're really really sad about one thing, it makes everything else hell. When really, everything else is just normal, but because your moral is bad at that moment in time, everything else seems bad.

If you look at it this way, if you were in a 'normal' every day mood, you wouldn't be worrying let alone thinking about if you've done a decent thing in this world worthy to be remembered, or you wouldn't overly-stress about which college you'll decide to go to, or that you've not completed my signature. Sure, you will think about those things, but they will by no means make you feel down on a normal day.

Obviously because we don't know each other, I don't know what's bothering you and why. I can only guess, and my guess is that you worrying about your exam results and the cancellation of your holiday combined is making you feel bad about everything else.

Don't you feel that way sometimes when you feel that nothing is going right for you some days? Some days nothing does actually go right for you, but in my opinion, most of the time a person feels that nothing is going right for them is because one major thing has upset them, so this effects everything else in their day.

It's normal to feel nervous about your results and it's normal feel unhappy about not being able to go on holiday after it has been planned already and everything. There's not much you can do really other than wait for your results and try and make yourself feel better about the holiday by doing other fun stuff! You can almost make up for it by doing other cool things. And honestly, you really don't have to worry about my sig!

Relax, and do things that make you happy.

Smile and the world smiles with you? Absolutely.

brilliant post. rep for you tomorrow :smile: actually, it's midnight, no?

well yes, to be honest, i think it's mainly down to boredom. there is nothing to challenge me! :mad: i actually miss coursework deadlines :frown: i can't even do french, or crochet, or (let's admit it) put an effort in your sig when i keep thinking why the bloody hell am i doing all these things. i can't even write anything for that philosophy prize. in other words, i'm mentally dead. nothing to revive it back :frown: come to think of it, i am rather dependant on my mates 0_o

Name 3 outdoor things you enjoy doing the most.

Reply 11

biking, climbing, rounders.


unfortunately, as you can see, they all need full cooperation from available mates.

Reply 12

Awh, all your friends on holiday? You could make do with your friends that aren't on holiday. I'm sure they're not all gone!

Biking and climbing you could even do with only a few mates.

Reply 13

that's it. ALL of them. believe it or not. that's why i'm thinking to become a temporary tomboy.

Reply 14

I would go biking and climbing on my own :smile: I don't know if that's possible for you, but it's a different experience in your own space and time to yourself.

Reply 15

i've done that, and it's getting very boring.


sorry, you can stop making suggestions now, it's not something you should feel bothered about :wink: i will make an effort to see the joys of crocheting for the sake of your contributions :smile:
