i do not know what to do. i dont even have a compelling reason to get up in the morning on weekends. My life has simply...stopped

i wanted to do something, i wanted to get a job, i wanted to just have some i felt i should've done more...

i did, because this is the place where i felt truely belonged. I don't know why I am posting this... perhaps it makes me feel better to express my feelings.

Also and as always, sorry about my bad english...

It is good English, better than some here

Tim, look at the new thread I started on "Depression (Clinical)"
You might need to talk about how you feel with your college counsellor

People will always talk to you here. That is all they do !

Welcome back Tim_, you'll find many good listeners here to express your feelings to. It has been a while since you last posted here, and yes, quite a few changes and many new members. Honestly, I wish you the best dealing with everyday life. Sometimes it does get a bit depressing doesn't it. At any rate, you have many friends here at Hypography that sincerely care about your feelings, express yourself Tim_, we're all pulling for you my friend................Infy

oops, almost forgot about this thread i made. thank you for all your warm welcome.

it is very interesting see what i wrote when i was depressed. my thoughts seem to be very.... different.

i've been away for... hmm, more than a year and a half.
i feel at home right after this first post.

it seems that many of my thinkings are back since i came back, which is a good thing...i've always loved thinking.

Pyrotex, you can see the equations in the avatar? i thought it was a bit too small... anyway, i picked it because it makes a nice "square"

[Tim_Lou]

actually, i do admit that i might have some problems... maybe depression problem. i have been struggling trying to control it myself. i tried to force myself to smile when i feel sad (which does help, i heard that smile stimulate some sort of brain signals).
well, actually, the most effective "treatment" i found is thinking. Not thinking about life but thinking about physics, thinking about math... well, perhaps that is what creates nerds? isnt it?

Thinking is good. For me, the best treatment for depression is reading books. That gives me something else to think about for a while. I also find that watching good movies help a lot. And of course leaning on friends is important.

For starters, you could participate in the community poll " I Am..." perhaps it may help you to elevate your self esteem!

Me too, I love books.
But, my daughters bookcase is full of DVDs !
I have far too many books and have resolved not to buy anymore.
I have been hitting the local Council Library very hard.
I recently explored ebay to see if I could sell some of my 3,000 books and ended up buying ANOTHER ONE!!!

Boredom is deadly
You can never underestimate depression it is insidious,

From where I'm sitting, I have to remark on how much this place can be like a true community.

Don't mind me, please.

Thinking systematically about Math and Physics, studying it, will almost certainly gain admittance into the elite ranks of nerdom. Welcome home!

If you’re intensely immersed in Math, I’d council remaining there – there’s good historical anecdotal evidence that the math you do now, at age 17, will form the core of the math do for the rest of your life. If you’re in more of a seaching mode, I suggest some study and informal contemplation of Zoology, in particular primates. Because it can be immediately relevant to your life. Because all of our lives are, internet and all, in a very real sense, examples of primate Zoology.
