I feel like a hollow existence in a meaningless world... I don't even feel much emotion anymore.

[Kedly]

That feeling is awful, my bad days are usually despair, I think I would rather that though than the day's I have felt blank and emotionless... maybe (sorry if my comment was the exact opposite of helpful D=)

You all just need a workout.  Workouts always make me feel better.  After a 5K and an hour doing various (mostly weightless) activities I am struck with a wave of euphoria that tops almost any feeling I've ever had.  Even sex.  But not a new awesome game.

[Kedly]

I would like to point out that sex in itself is a workout =P

[Frumple]

Only works if you've already got the physical base to be able to work out to that extent, from what I've seen. There's nothing euphoric about an asthma attack tacked on to a heat stroke

Florida, yaay~ _Not.

[Kedly]

Or throwing up 20 minutes in because you don't know how to pace yourself and pushed yourself too hard (I would like to point out that scenario is for working out, and not for sex O.o)

Okay, but if you do not start, you can never expect to get better.  For instance I cannot draw to save my (or anyone's) life.  I just cannot.  But, I got myself a few applications and started practice in my scant spare time.  My hope is to graduate from stick figures into semi-stick figures.

Conversely, doing 10 push ups a day and realizing the body and mind is lazy (and wil degenerate at the first signs of disuse) would be the first step to accomplishment.

If anybody is feeling bad(emotionally or spiritually) for an extended period of time than its because there is some form of support, gratification you are lacking in your current life.  IMO, you should be obligated to seek happiness.  Can't force you, but getting a sense of satisction when looking yourself in the eyes in the mirror is worth all the trouble and money in the world. 

Of course if your gorgeous face distracts you than maybe you've got other problems...

alsos, throwing up is the body's way of ridding toxins.  Not to sound all gung-ho football coach, but it makes you stronger and better.  Course it leaves a nasty aftertaste...

I absolutely despise throwing up D= One of the worst feelings in the world O.o

[Yoink]

Naaaah. Just think of all the weight you're shedding! Screw exercise!

This so much :<

[Kedly]

On this point I would rather be bulemic than anorexic O.o

You're approaching the day all wrong. When nothing's going on, you are lucky enough to have the freedom to do anything, without shirking something important. Each of these moments not spent is a moment of infinite worth lost to you forever... but that time is only as valuable as you are willing to make it.

That's what they mean when they say "Seize the Day."

I didn't say nothing was going on.

You feel your life is worth nothing. That's stupid, wrong, and baseless. You are the one who decides what to feel, and thus you are the only one with the power to change your feelings. For you to decide to feel that way about yourself is self-sabotage. Venting feelings of frustration and depression and such is fine, but at least vent it with the intention of addressing it, or finding a way out of it... otherwise you're just looking for a back-pat, and someone to tell you everything is going to be okay. I don't like when people use self-loathing as a tool to get attention and love from others.

No amount of back-pats and cooing from others will make it okay. It's not going to be okay until you make it okay. Okay? Keep putting a foot in front of the other, and I wish you the best.

Don't tell people not to be sad in the sad thread, Wiki. This thread is for venting of all kind, not just to get help or advice or whatever you would call constructive. That's what Life Advice is for. I understand you just want to help out - and I'm not saying you should stop offering advice and such - but telling people their sads don't belong here is still bad form.

Furthermore, telling somebody who that what they feel is "stupid" is completely unconstructive, especially when the person might already feel bad about it, then you're just reinforcing the negative feelings. And, you know, sometimes a pat on the back and some supportive words is what people needs.

I don't get why some people are so infatuated with "self help." Leaning on others is nothing to be ashamed of if. We're all dependent on each other to survive, anyway.

Anyway, the important distinction between depression and just feeling down is that depression isn't an attitude issue. You can't just wake up one day and decide to be happy. Some factor, internal or external, is keeping them unhappy and no amount of bootstrap pulling will change that. There's a problem that needs to be fixed, be it emotional trauma, incredible stress, or whatever, but NOT attitude.

One person I know is very suicidal and has been most his life. He was told by his doctor that his problem was physical; his brain chemistry was messed up and no amount of therapy would fix that. So he's on medication and has it under control.
