Underwhelmed with life and overwhelmed with work?

Yeah. I've been there. A couple of times.  There's ways around it.

Yeah, but the usual mag dump and other hobbies don't seem to be cutting it anymore.

I'm not even motivated to do the things I used to love doing.

Been feeling it for a couple of weeks, like everything is about to go sideways and there is nothing I can do about it

Boobies in your face make everything better.

Not to sound like a touchy-feely pussy, but depression could be behind it.  Have you talked to anyone else about what's going on?  I don't mean to get a script for something, but friends?

BTDT.  Jesus is the answer.  I know that sounds lame but it's the truth.

That's what the gf thinks. I've never been empathetic or sympathetic to other people with the condition. Never understood how someone could end up that way. I've always been a "quit your bitching and count your blessings" type of person but lately it's just like, what's the point.

Note-definitely not suicidal. I would never do that but if my airplane were to crash, I wouldn't care.  We're all going to die sooner or later anyway.

I'm with you.  I was lucky in that I didn't need medication; I just finally got over whatever it was that was eating my ass up.  Changing careers helped with that.  But even without the career change, it did get better.  It doesn't always get better though without medical help.  I've got a couple people VERY near and dear to me that had to go the medication route after trying other options.  Depression is a real thing.  

I personally think a strong character can help in getting over it.  But if not, I don't think it says anything bad about a person, either.  Chemicals are chemicals and if your's aren't working right, it doesn't hurt to talk to someone.

Me too. Mine's work related, mostly, along with struggling with a large mortgage. The latter is of my own doing, though, so I can't bitch too much there. Hopefully work's gonna turn around soon.

Hang in there, bro. You ain't the only one, and things will get better.

I get like that sometimes, but seeing people with REAL problems shames me out of my funk.  It's important to remember there are people in this world that would likely give anything to have your life.

When I feel like that I just buy a new gun for my safe. By the time I have shot it and cleaned it, I am over whatever it is that was bothering me in the first place.

Underwhelmed with life, yes.  Overwhelmed with work, no.

Projects, you needs them.  A mission.  Anything to work for.  Keep looking forward.  Life is what you make of it.  I've decided the purpose of mine is to reflect light into some really dark places.  So I'm working to do that...while building a lot of guns.

At the least, try learning something new.

Could be the blues you never know.

Could be a clinical depression on the other hand.

If that's the case there's no point in trying to muscle through it, talk to your Doctor.

Just thought I'd follow up  and see if things have changed for you in the last week.
