Can't have fun anymore -- what do you do?

you can have fun, its just not legal anymore. THANK YOU OVERBEARING GOVERNMENT NANNY STATE. THANK YOU FOR STICKING YOUR BIG FAT NOSE IN EVERYONES BUSINESS!

Was a free sprirt but not sure how to be free.. I get it!
People used to tease me that I was always the one in the driver seat and everyone else better hang on for dear life. Now, not so much.

At what point did things change? I am not sure. How do you get it back, still dont know.

You are depressed. Seek counselling.

realize you're unlimited potential and find a direction of interest and expand your experience with it until satisfied. Also, smoke some pot. It will help your thought flow (once you get used to the short term memory loss), relaxation, and mood. Just smoke at night after you get your productive stuff done and start small. one or two hits should be more than plenty (as long as you inhale into your lungs and hold) to get a newbie's mind in the sky. Also if you're just looking for a mood booster try eating raw marijuana buds. This is rarely mentioned but I speak from experience that it will help your mood and overall feeling without a "high" feeling if you eat it raw. Combustion changes the chemical so it's technically two different things smoking and eating raw. My body resists alcohol anymore as well.

Seems obvious. But I make excuses. Clearly I'm not a normal, functioning person. Normal people would seek help.

They say seek help if your depression has lasted "two weeks".... try your whole bloody life.

Good advice. I've smoked some. Doing it your help would be more therapeutic... taking it in small doses.

I think there's a bigger picture: I even resist REMEDIES. I resist seeking help. I'm my own worst enemy. Working against solving anything. My stupid brain doesn't want help, it wants to stay uptight and closed off.

alcohol is a depressant.. lol. yea, keep going to the corner store and buying those cheap hypnotics. the key is cultivating a mind state of gratitude, the rest will flow naturally. there's also nothing like cannabis at the end of a day well spent.

also, don't just eat bud, unless you cook it with or consume it with a fat

Ditch the alcohol, go for the natural highs like running, biking, long hard hikes...

When I first had a real good endorphin rush, after mountain biking for a good couple hours, I couldn't believe how powerful it was. It felt like a couple Vicodins.

you need to be started on Seroquil, Zoloft, and Ativan

your not drinking enough

Yet you are here unburdening yourself. So, that indicates that some part of your psyche is crying out to be heard.

Think of it this way - there are parts of yourself that you are repressing. The part of you that has come here has temporarily broken through. You need to get in touch with the rest of your psyche. Things you bury do not go away, they end up controlling you. If you keep repeating the same tapes and self-defeating behaviors without examining your unknown self, you are destined to spend your life pretty much miserable.

I got interested in nutrition to prevent depression, having had some bouts of it due to overwork, stress and a poor diet.

Your nervous system needs certain things to function correctly. Alcohol robs you of those things.

Magnesium deficiency is very very common and is debilitating and produces depression, insomnia, anxiety among other things.

Here's a web site about magnesium supplementation for depression:

I learned so much reading there, I always like to share it.

A good B-complex, vitamin C, Vitamin D, magnesium glycinate those are where I would start.

Then cut way back on carbohydrates in your diet and get your calories for energy from fat instead. You will feel so much better. Cutting way down on carbohydrates is one of the best things you can do for yourself. After you do it for a while and see the benefit you will notice how lousy you feel when you eat a bunch of starch or sweets.

If your addiction is to drugs or alcohol, your body is not healthy. You must STOP doing the thing you're addicted to before you can do ANYTHING else. IMHO.

the emotions and sensations you are experiencing are unpleasant, but unpleasant is still interesting, fascinating, absorbing.

You're enjoying not having fun. Not having fun is fun in its own way, and it is not permanent. Worry if you want to. Don't worry if you don't want to. You worry if you think worrying will make it better. If you don't think it will make it better, but continue to worry, it is therefore because worrying is the form of fun you want to have right now.

Ooh that was funny

I'm an every day smoker... Ya'll need to cheer the fuck up. Smoking isn't the answer to your depression, you are. You need to take a different perspective on life... Having: NO JOB, AN ADDICTION, NO INCOME & CRYING about it wont fix it.

While you sit there & pity yourself, the world keeps turning & those are precious seconds you have just wasted doing something unproductive.

The answer ins't asking other people how they fixed their depression, because they're different to you. Shit happens in life, it either makes you or breaks you. Are you going to lay there & wait till you die or are you going to put in the effort to make yourself happy?

You can't feel entitled to have happiness, happiness is earned. It's earned through accomplishment, satisfaction & overcoming adversity. You can't expect the world to stop & tend to you. You need to go get it.

I hope some of you actually read this and do something with your situations, as you don't need to be rich to be happy. You need to be comfortable and enjoy the time you have on this earth.

So have a Coke & a smile and shut the fuck up...
