Being a blow hard and jerk is very painfull so they have to make up for it by having motivation?

Help me with: How depressed are you on a scale of one to ten with ten being almost dead and one being haveing a smile on your face presently.

yea maybe but i doubt they really realize that they’re blowhards. Most people with huge egos don’t know they have them. But i’m not knockin on them. Its just that every day i look in the mirror and realize how little i’ve accomplished. But instead of getting angry and deciding to actually put effort into my life i get more depressed and just curl up in bed.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

I feel like i have the ability to be something great but i have no motivation to go to school or get a good job. I literally have to convince myself to take a shower in the morning.

Help me with: i think too much and i can’t sleep.

I feel the same way. Sometimes minor health issues make it hard to be peppy and motivated.

Relationships can sometimes be really draining too.

Ever read Herman Melville’s Bartleby the Scrivener?… Good read, addresses a guy just like you.

If only i had a relationship to be drained from. I’ve just been like this for as long as i can remember. I’ve been prescribed antidepressants but i tend not to use them cuz i feel fake when i do. I can’t really explain it but i just don’t like them.

Help me with: i think too much and i can’t sleep.

Just reading the post….. I say its because they know when they’re done doing with what they need to do with their own life, they will be successful and thats the find to find love… but people like us believe that the person for us or our true love will pass us by and we’ll never find it again so we aim to find someone that will stay with us through thick and thin and then plan to move on towards bigger things… So we slack untill then… thats just what I think.

Help me with: My life is spiraling downwards… and now I want to turn it around but I guess I keep thinking its too late and get depressed about it.

Its about a guy who copies legal documents for a living by hand. Its told with his boss as the narrator (Melville himself, who once was a lawyer who employed several secretary scrivener ppls.) It explores the unique nature of each of his employees and examines how they function. It then centers on Bartleby; a once productive and submissive scrivener who slowly loses his ability to function. He spends much of his day staring out the office window at his view, of the side of a brick building. He has no real friends and no will to continue with his work and eventually refuses to do anything. What especially puzzles Melville is that there isn’t a combative bone in his body, and no semblance of frustration with his lifestyle. Melville than struggles as an employer to figure out what to do with him. It coins the phrase, “I would prefer not to.” which Bartlby always says, when talked to.

Its a short story, written well, really interesting, defiantly will hold your attention. Well at least it did mine… Idk, to each man his own.

I felt the same way all my life. I tried Phen-fen to lose some weight. Wow. I did not diet, I only wanted good food. I have never like exercise, I did not feel good unless I exercised every day. I smoked, suddenly I just didn’t want to smoke. I was driven, happy, motivated - and THIN. And then they pulled the plug. Phen-fen works on serotonin. We have a deficit. I’ve tried anti-depressants and although they work on serotonin, it doesn’t work like Phen-Fen did. Loved that stuff!!
