access_flux Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 hey there d00ds, i was just wondering what the best cure for a **** time in life is, cause like Wednesday night i went and saw the Atari's (punk band from America, my freakin favourite band ever) and with these guys ( i know it sounds corny) the lyrics to their songs i can relate them and my emotions change when i listen to them etc. and that was absolutely awesome great concert. then after that i realised that i had nothing to look forward to, and that the only reason i was really happy before the concert was that i had something to look forward to, then now its just like life is boring adn i don'T know what to look forward to apart form my mum coming to visit me, ( if you don'T know, i am on exchange from Australia to Germany) and life has been really hard, i had a sh!tty first family, been threatened to be sent home, and just stupid **** like being held down and having my boxers filled with snow. and now when i listen to the Ataris i think of everything i left behiond at home in Australia, and i don'T know how i am going to cope with the next five months, i mean the only thing that i am going on at the moment is this stupidly pathetic ting with this alternative chick that has been on and off for almost 2 months now, but i just don'T feel that life will get any better till i get home. i mean my german sucks and i have been here for 5 months, and the only thing i can 't wait till is seeing my friends and family in Australia. help me? no mention of medications or forkin shrinks, please.

Mex Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Well i'm no expert on this stuff but I can try and help. Well you should try and have the best time before leaving Germany, which might cheer you up. And looking forward to going home might help aswell, it'll give you something to look forward to.

SmartDragon Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 If you really hate it there then go home. Your parents won't think any less of you, and if you explain what a bad time your having then I'm sure the people involved in the exchange will understand and be supportive. is there any support there for you a teacher or somebody else you can talk to as they will likely know what is available in the local area. hope you feel better soon:) good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpTheHotrod Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Hanging out with some friends, however...there are no people around my age that have simliar interests, so I'm pretty much screwed. If you consider bacon and eggs, the chicken was involved, but the pig was committed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodrodius Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 As an australian, use your natural boomerang throwing and crocodile wrestling abilities to defeat these yankee scallywags. Then have your parents send you a pet Kangaroo that you can put on a leash and walk around school with. Girls love Kangaroo's, so you will get to make out with a lot of girls. No more depression. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine Spirit Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 A good way of curing depression is through music. music has the ability to enhance or change the mood of the human mind and by listening to peaceful or uplifting music you will find that this will also improve your self esteem. punk rock is usually about angst or rebellion (or something like that anyway) so this type of music isnt perhaps the best to listen to if you want to stop feeling depressed. it sounds like the music u listen to at the moment has actually caused this feraling of depression - you might want to try limiting how long you listen to this music. try listening to classical - i know it sounds something like what old people do but it is said that a lot of classical music is able to make you feel better. if you can play any musical instrument yourself that would be great. i saw on TV recently that a way of curing depression or insecurities is through creative things such as making music. just try to be as creative as possible! every little task you do, like making a sandwich or something, make it like a new adventure and explore new tastes and feelings.

Pisces Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 They say depression is merely anger without enthusiasim. You have some anger you need to work out? Maybe you'd feel better if you worked out a little rage or something. Other than that, I'm clueless.

Darth Groovy Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 I recomend electric shock treatment. I know science frowns upon this now. But think about it, if you have ever been shocked by sticking your fingers in a light socket, were you really depressed? And if so, do you really remember what you were depressed about about?

ShockV1.89 Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 Actually, depression is easily cured through rigorous excercise. It releases a certain chemical in the brain (endorphins?) that makes you happy and puts you in a refreshed, awake mood. Besides, which, it's a good thing to do. I need to do more of it.

And if so, do you really remember what you were depressed about about? no, this doesnt work. a better treatment is shark prey treatment. this is where you swim in shark invested waters. think about it, if you've ever been shark prey, were you really really depressed at the time?? and if a shark has eaten you, can you remember what you were depressed about??

ET Warrior Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 Buy an Xbox, buy Morrowind, Play morrowind until you pass out. Repeat. (note, morrowind can be replaced with splinter cell, or if you have other xbox owning friends and a network adapter some Big Halo matches are always fun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with him, my original post was more of a joke really.....I mean, video games are cool, but doing stuff with friends is more cool, well, sometimes......sometimes you just need to be alone with your video games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace. LOL God that is funny. Just try to see the light on the Horizon. Trust me, there are better times ahead. Other than that, emerse yourself in a hobby or something. If you haven't tried making your own Levels for Star Wars Jedi Knight, Download GTKRadiant and go nuts. I know I can loose myself for hours in the editor. Good luck.
