Seb, cheer up man. Think positively, you at least went to a prom. I had 2 in high-school, one in junior year and one in senior year. I didn’t went to either… Cheer up man! :beam:

Don’t know about ya’ll but high school for most of the people I know, myself included, pretty much sucked all around. I couldn’t wait to get out of there and once I was gone and never looked back I began to enjoy myself much more.
Life is what you make it, so try to make it fun and do some good in the world at the same time.[/quote]
Are you nuts High School was the best part and the most fun I had in my life, college was fun as well but High School man that was unforgettable, now real life pretty much sucks all work no play :-/ I wish I was in High School again :fab: wait that didn’t sound right I ain’t no pedophile Dan :fight:
But seriously Seb its all part of growing up you think you’d been hurt your got truckloads of pain to experience this is just a little bump on the road buddy, so put your head up and look for the next disappointment and embrace it, grow up and stop whining :lol:
I’m with Dan here.
Get into a few bar-brawls and get bludgeoned a few times. It tends to snap you out of the self-loathing and self-pity. : )
Would drinking not make my problem worse, one of my friends believes that lately I have been drinking alot cause im upset, but I don’t think that, unless im trying to lie to myself. I’ve only had lots to drink lately cause I had prom then a house party, then my neighbour had a shin dig and I have beer in the house.
Not talking about getting drunk I’m talking about getting into an old-fashioned fist fight 
This whole medication/shrink nonsense people are trying to feed you here, don’t ever believe that crap. America is the most over-medicated nation in the world and people ain’t got worse problems here than anywhere else. You don’t get over depression by drugging yourself, you get over it by dragging yourself out of it. That’s the way it works in any other country than this. Here we just take some drug that zones you out and call the problem solved.
I wasn’t serious though, getting into a fight is not going to solve any of your problems, and neither is drinking. You just need to get to know yourself better. I spent a lot of time traveling alone, with all that entails. If you force yourself to find out who you are then you have a better chance of realizing what is really on your mind that’s making you blue.
Chemical imbalance my butt. No matter what people try to tell you, that medical condition is pretty ■■■■ rare, but it has been over-diagnosed to the max here to induce profit from the drug industry. No, I’m not paranoid, it’s just the way it works. Why else would this country use more “anti-depressants” per capita than any other country in the world? Because life is so hard here? Not likely.
Teen years kinda suck man, just bite down on it and realize that almost everyone in the world has a harder life than you. Your problems compared to 99% of the worlds population are utterly ridiculous. I’m not saying that to be mean, it’s just the cold facts. Not trying to rob anyone from their right to be sad, but to wallow in misery here in the US feels pretty strange. There’s a lot of worse places in the world to be. When you see how people live in a lot of them, you’ll understand.
Do listen to Sekasi. He’s right on.
Okay, the drinking, sure, sounds like you’ve had your fair share - and perhaps there are better ways to channel your energy than random fistfights (though one or two do tend to build character). I’m sticking to ‘learn to shoot’, however. Spending an afternoon at a rifle range or a paintball field is a great way to blow off steam.
I think that the best answer to depression is to take a look at your own personal system of values. What do you value in life, Seb? What’s important to you? What changes in your life or in the world around you would you like to see? Identify those needed changes and be those changes. I was pretty down in the dumps when I was unemployed, but now that I have a good job again and an ever expanding local political coalition, I’m feeling a lot better about myself.
Find things to get involved in - meetup.com is awesome - and you’ll be having more fun - or at least be so busy - that you won’t have time to be down in the dumps. Oh, and yeah, I’m sticking to my guns about training yourself to deal with disappointment too. I used to be pretty bad about it myself. It takes effort, but it really does help to simply expect disappointment in the first place.
May the force be with you.
I’ve started to go to the gym on a regular basics (sp?) now which gives me something to do. As for this:
[LIST]
[]What do you value in life Seb? - Tbh I really don’t know, I guess the people I spend my time with, I enjoy being around people.
[]What’s important to you? - Again I don’t really know, I don’t have any life goals / aims.
[*]What changes in your life or in the world around you would you like to see? - I just want to become a happier person.
[/LIST]
I don’t knwo why things drag me down so much, and for so long. My now best friend, I fancied her for like 2 years, even when she had a BF, that took nearly a year to get over, it was very hard, I shed alot of tears but I manged to move on but the time frame it took, was immense.
I’ve been in that exact same situation. There was a girl that I was nuts about from when I met her in High School until last year. I would have dropped anyone else that I had been dating for her in a flash. It took a long time to get over that, but once you are, a huge burden is lifted.
As for the other things, figure those out. Once you have a clearly established set of values, it’s like a light coming on. There’s a book you should check out, it’s called ‘The Virtue of Selfishness’ by Ayn Rand. I think that it just might point you in a helpful direction, do read it.
EDIT: ^Sorry, didn’t see it already posted
And you feel like this because you bought a Wii and have no friends to play with I told you to buy a X360 you would be playing online and be so busy busting heads you wont have time to cry only time to pwn n00bs :lol: :run:
Grimdeath speaks the truth
[ot]So did you get your x360 back?[/ot]
Today is such a ****ty day, when I woke up I just felt like crying but I didn’t
Good. Never display weakness, lest the social jackals that surround you take advantage. Keep it inside, let it distill into determination and ambition.
Your doing it wrong. If you wake up feeling anything other than hungry, you go back to bed.
You need more Dwight Schrute.
You need to start your day off right, with a big glass of sunshine.
I think that’s the most enticing glass of OJ I have ever seen.
his hair isn’t that bad, looks fine in my opinion
