what's the world coming to?

[all the same]

I have been ridiculously sad lately. It seems everyone in my life is going through some major trauma right now. Family deaths, cancer scares, depression, loneliness. It makes it really hard to figure out what the point of it all is. I get easily overwhelmed by life. Anyone else? :distress:

[strandinthewind]

Hang in there. I learned a long time ago, life is what you make it and it really does not get any better or worse - it just gets. So, to quote Tammy Faye Baker ( :eek: :laugh: ) "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!" I know that is ridiculously simple, but the deeper meaning is make the best of everything, even when you feel like your life is fading :cool:

[dissention]

I cried at Star Wars. :wavey:

I'm not a depressed or blue person, I just feel a lot of regret over things I haven't done and am bitter about certain things that I've wanted to do but haven't been able to. Such is life, I suppose.

Cheer up!

I prefer "when life hands you lemons, shoot yourself in the face." But that might be just me. Just kidding. I know. It's the same old "it can't be that bad" thing. But I come from a long line of depressive people. When it gets bad, I take it all on and it takes over my everything. I'll move past this. I always do. But how many damn times does the world have to fall apart? It seems to come in tremendous waves. There is so much distress around me right now. Too much.

Yes, that's why we're loitering on a message board.

Exactly! :laugh: At least that made me laugh...

All I can offer is my life experiences. I thought my life would turn out differently. It did not. Som I made the best of it. I truly try to see the bright side of everything and it is VERY hard to do and I sometimes fail. If you are really really depressed, you might want to see a professional. Sometimes having an objective ear that is trained to help you can do just that. ALso, if it is a situation you can control, like a bad friend, etc., you have the power over your life and you can walk away. Good Luck to you.

I just read a study today that says cynicism begins very early in childhood. I was f*cked from the beginning. :laugh:

[wondergirl9847]

I get depressed every month like most women do. I cry for no reason and just get "down in the dumps". Then, it passes and I'm cool again. :) You will get through it, don't worry. I was an emotional wreck yesterday because of my dog and having to make the decision to put her down, but I was tons better today, having come to peace about it. Sure, it's still difficult and is going to be so next week, but she'll be free from pain and suffering. I love her, she loves me, and that's that.

We Ledgies are here if anyone needs to vent or whatever. :)

You are absorbing too much pain from others. Unplug, do something just for you that makes you feel good. Things are not all bad it only seems so, its a trick your mind plays on you when you are low.

What concerns me is that you say you come from a long line of depressive people. Depression is very steeped in biology so I would recommend that you do get help because it isn't normal and you don't have to live that way. My family is riddled with it and I've battled it with a lot of success and I'm happy today. If I didn't get help I'm not sure I'd be here. I'm also not sure my brother would be here since he just went through a severe episode which I helped him with. It broke my heart. But he is doing so well now. Anyway, if you would like, we can talk about this more offline.

I also want to point out that the world does extra suck right now, it isn't just you. But you can still feel good. :xoxo:

I have to agree about professional help. It was an idea I was at first opposed to but it proved to help me through my teen years, which were pretty awful, though it's all relative.

I also agree that if you are in a situation in which you're suffering for others as well as yourself, you really should take some time out to focus on yourself, doing something for you that is much deserved.

Things aren't all peachy with the world in general, as she said, so I've no doubt that's affecting all of us to some degree. You're definitely not alone and don't ever hesitate to vent to us here on The Ledge. I think that's part of the reason why we're all here together. :)

[all the same]

Thanks you guys. I think it is time for professional help for me. I've been a wreck since I was a teen. Battled suicidal thoughts (not so much in the capacity that I want to kill myself, but that I just no longer want to be), depression, loneliness, and a host of other things. But I think my biggest problem is that am a sponge for other people's pain. If someone is in pain, I can sense them from across the room and swallow all their pain and it absolutely knocks me on my ass. I really gotta do something about this because it's not really making my life work for me. I feel like I have a totally disfunctional life.

Me, too, I've been really sad. I'm sorry you have been. I always think life is pretty pointless, though. :laugh: Usually, I don't care, but lately it's all been very douchebaggish.

I think everyone has their problems, even the wealthy. But I do also believe that they should shut the f*ck up and go for a nice yaught ride to clear their heads! :laugh: But seriously, when you have money (like me :lol: ) you develop new problems. Every since Momsy and Dadsy gave me my first million, life just seems so, well, meaningless... I mean how many diamonds can one boy have? :laugh: Uh... okay, yeah... in all truth, I share a bathroom with a pot dealer! Nice, eh?

Twue, and Cancers tend to do this more than most. It's like, our astrological job. :laugh: But that's why we like to laugh so much, right?...and remember...
"always la-hame! always la-hame! liiiiiife!!!!"
Did that cheer you up? I knew it would... :laugh:
I told my one friend, who's b-day is today, how bad I felt, and she gave me some kind words. She was all "you're great! People like you! and if anyone doesn't, they are totally missing out, and they are lame! You have a great personality! And, it's probably only people who have ugly hair, anyways!"
so, I offer those same words to you, in hopes they offer you solace.... :wavey: :xoxo:

[diamondsnake]

I just assumed that everyone else here suffered from severe depression. My mistake. I first decided I wanted to die when I was 5, I just didn't know how one went about dying. Being depressive for that long makes me feel elderly at 22, how the hell did I get this far? Probably by procrastination and blunt knives. Sorry for my lack of positivity, you can't expect much from people who hang around on message boards I'd say.
Lux, I'm kind of scared for you. Life is a gift... it is just crazy talk to want to kill yourself at age five (or twenty two for that matter). Things get me down but sooner or later you have to shake it off and bounce back because you only live once and there are so many beautiful things out there and so little time to enjoy them.

One other really nice feature about me is that I have what my friend has named an "airwall". When I meet someone new, I immediately build a nice little wall to keep them away. This works really well for me especially when it comes to dating. "Oh, what, you're interested in me? Hmmm... get me some bricks and cement, 'cause you ain't gettin' in!" I get tons of action that way! :lol:

Isn't that the way it always is - the more you ignore them, the harder they try. Then, when you FINALLY meet one you are interested in, they want nothing to do with you, which usually makes you want them more. It is a VICIOUS MOTHER FU^&ING CYCLE :mad: :laugh:

[diamondsnake]

I'm a total wreck right now and wanna go drown myself in my bathtub. :lol:

If it makes you feel any better I sometimes feel the same way. Not that I am depressed or anything. I am just finding that I have some social problems- or to put it more bluntly I have a bunch of "friends" and I don't like any of them! Why can't I just attract people that are funny and smart and care about things other then their shade of nail polish? I am just so sick of some of the people in my life right now. So, I can relate to your state of miserableness to some degree.

Um... did you just crawl into my head and read my mind? EXACTLY!!! I pine away for boys from afar and in a sick way like having them far away from me so I can idealize them and turn them into something they can never be. It's the Angela Chase in me (My So-Called Life - best show evahhhh!) There was a brilliant line from My So-Called Life that went something like "I feel like I will die if I don't have the crush. Like I will starve to death. If the crush actually turns into something, then it's like it's not yours anymore." I am totally paraphrasing. When a crush turns into something... like a restraining order, for example! :lol: ... then I want nothing to do with the boy. But that like never happens because I am way to f*cked up to date anyone.

I'm the exact same way. I'll talk your ear off and am totally social with everyone but I prefer to be by myself half the time. I can't even shop with other people because I'm usually on a mission!

I am watching Dune on Sci Fi and they just showed a clip of the scene where the Reverend Mother screams to Alia "GET OUT OF MY MIND" as I am reading your question "Um... did you just crawl into my head and read my mind?" That is a little too coincidental for me :laugh:

I am just not really that much of a wall builder. The only time I will is when I think people are using me, which has happened more than once. But, I can usually tell when someone is doing that because I have had years of exp. with people who try. But, emotional walls - not really. But, we all have them in some repect. I guess the trick is to meet someone who makes you feel like you do not need them. But, let me tall ya, trusting that much in people is not an easy thing to do :eek:

I wince every time my phone rings any time of the day. I tend to check the old caller id a lot and if I know it's gonna be a long one, I just don't answer. When I'm stuck in my head like right now, the last thing I wanna do is be on my phone!

I can shop with gldstwmn because she and I like the same stores, but the minute we walk in it is usually "see ya in an hour" :laugh: I also have an artist friend who was in Vegas with me and she and I act a little like a married couple when we shop - she explains the art on stores to me, she tells me what would look good on me colorwise, etc. But, she is married and we are totally just friends. So, in that respect, I like to shp with other people. But, after YEARS of experience, I can work the entire men's dept. at Neimans in like ten minutes and then try the stuff on :laugh:

I guess a little history is in order. I had a fantastic childhood - the things people dream of really. My parents are great people and I was very fortunate that they really took me all over the world with them. That may be why I am very comfortable in most settings. Around my 20's, I did musical theatre and some modelling. I loved the former and really did not care for the latter, though the latter lasted longer and paid a whole lot better than my illustrious acting career, which apparently I alone thought I was good at :laugh: In the middle of all of that, I got my law degree, which was really because my parents thought it was a good thing to get. I like practicing law, so its cool. But, I liked singing "there's a bright golden haze on the meadow" to a crowded house who adored me a whole helluva lot better :laugh: Then, I dated someone for a very long time. But, now we have sort of a LB - SN relationship, which is cool because we had, to paraphrase Stevie, barriers of time and other forms really prohibit us from being together. Depressing as it can be - Such is life - but in that - I guess really those (few have done all of that)- lifetimes, I learned about walls and how to make people want me. But, now that I do not have the guise of youth and my 195 pound body (though I am working back to it) - I have to rely more on me, which is cool, but harder. So, I guess what I am trying to say is, you are not alone in what you are going through and sometimes life just does not work out the way we want it to.

I hope that did not sound to "me me me - its all about me" :cool:

[macfanken]

The major trauma's ya listed have been my life for the last 2 years...This year has sucked worse than any since 1977 but I am still here and still not giving up, Just too lazy to give up actually (Besides, Someone has to collect all the upcoming Stevie Nicks solo shows :rolleyes: )

Just hang in there...If I can survive 2005 than everybody else in the world should be able to also :nod:


I cannot even begin to tell you how much I admire your strength in the last few years. But, other than the devastating loss of your mom, the other things are working out mostly for the best. Deb is better and you have new siblings. So, I guess hang on to that during your current medical stuff.

How could 1977 possible have sucked? Uh... RUMOURS came out that year!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[amber]

I wouldn't think depression and trauma can be graded. Sorry, I realise it's just a gesture but all the same, I disagree.
That's probably true. For instance, nothing like what's happened to Brian has ever happened to me, yet for days, I have been sobbing, and thinking how neat it would be not to be here. or anywhere. In fact, nothing super traumatic has ever happened to me, really. Except for existing. But there you have it. So, basically, I agree. :wavey:

I do not know. I was thinking about it though and I usually do it because I really do not want to date anyone. Maybe I am too picky :laugh:

I lost my Grandfather (On my Mother's side) in April 1977, Then I lost my Father in Oct (And nearly my Mother in the same car wreck) then only 20 days later I lost my other Grandfather (He couldnt take it that his son/My Father passed away and it literally broke his heart).

I survived 1977, and I will survive 2005 :nod:

If you weren't here, the lameness factor of my life would go up at least a quarter of a percent :lol: no, way more than that. So I hope you're okay. I know these things are cyclical. My feelings of lameness will pass. Yours will pass. We will both find beautiful boyfriends and move to the South of France where we can screw our lives away!

[catinthedark]

Oh my God, guys. You're all scaring the crap out of me.

Every single one of you has sort of become a person in my mind. Most of you, I only know as a screen name, same as you know me. And the only reason we're all here is because we share a common passion. But I think every one of us would say that we care to some degree, some more, some less, about the other people who come here. And right now, I'm really worried about what I'm reading. I'm not going to preach or get all airy fairy, but there IS a lot to enjoy and love and savour about life. If you can't see that right now, please consider getting some help. Talk to someone who can help you. There is no need to be sad and depressed. You all bring something to this board - and to the world - and it would be a sadder place without a single one of you.

Okay - now I AM getting overly emotional, so I'll stop. But please, guys, talk to somebody...

[diamondsnake]

I guess a little history is in order. I had a fantastic childhood - the things people dream of really. My parents are great people and I was very fortunate that they really took me all over the world with them. That may be why I am very comfortable in most settings. Around my 20's, I did musical theatre and some modelling. I loved the former and really did not care for the latter, though the latter lasted longer and paid a whole lot better than my illustrious acting career, which apparently I alone thought I was good at :laugh: In the middle of all of that, I got my law degree, which was really because my parents thought it was a good thing to get. I like practicing law, so its cool. But, I liked singing "there's a bright golden haze on the meadow" to a crowded house who adored me a whole helluva lot better :laugh: Then, I dated someone for a very long time. But, now we have sort of a LB - SN relationship, which is cool because we had, to paraphrase Stevie, barriers of time and other forms really prohibit us from being together. Depressing as it can be - Such is life - but in that - I guess really those (few have done all of that)- lifetimes, I learned about walls and how to make people want me. But, now that I do not have the guise of youth and my 195 pound body (though I am working back to it) - I have to rely more on me, which is cool, but harder. So, I guess what I am trying to say is, you are not alone in what you are going through and sometimes life just does not work out the way we want it to.

I hope that did not sound to "me me me - its all about me" :cool:
I want to see pictures of you as a model!

Actually, I really want to act or direct or be a writter for television, and since I am in my senior year of high school I need to make those decisions now! And I don't know if I should go to college or what. I want to follow my dreams but I don't want to lose the clothes off my back either. I guess this whole "deciding your whole future" thing is is my biggest problem right now, so I have it pretty easy.

Don't down play that problem! Deciding your future is the most daunting thing there is! I remember when I was in highschool trying to decide what to do with my life. Guess what I chose? ART SCHOOL!!! But I'm a graphic designer, so at least I make art that pays something. Imagine how happy my dad was when I said I wanted to major in sculpture! Good thing I didn't. :lol: :lol: :lol:

It is a really hard decision though. I want to have some sort of plan before I have to apply for colleges in August. College seems almost mandatory these days if you want to live a certain type of lifestyle.

Part of the company I work for has gone bankrupt, and that means my favorite colleague, a woman my mum's age that just feels like a surrogate mummy, has lost her job.. and now it feels like I hate everyone here because she's gone! Pretty selfish, because she's the one who has lost her job, and I'm feeling sorry for myself here. :o
I won't start about my crappy family and about feelings of loneliness, often think I'm the only one with problems like that but when I read this thread.. more sentimental group hugs!
Bloody hormones :sorry:

Give it a few days and I'll be back to my usual distant cynical self ;)

[face of glass]

Just wanted to thank you people for this thread and the things you've written in it. Loneliness and depression are all too familiar for me also, and add to that the insecurity of my future and so on. Good to know I'm not alone, I guess one needs reminders like these once in a while.

[QUOTE=all the same]I think everyone has their problems, even the wealthy. But I do also believe that they should shut the f*ck up and go for a nice yaught ride to clear their heads! :laugh: QUOTE]

Just look to the cats in your avatar when you get lonely - they certainly look like they are having fun :p Seriously, hang in there young man - you have your whole life in front of you!!!!!!!!!! :wavey:

Plus he's adorable. Which doesn't buy happiness, I should know. :p

[SuzeQuze]

Thanks, sweetie. If I could afford help, I would! :laugh: And, of course, we are talking to somebody.... :D

Do you have insurance? It breaks my heart to read that you've felt so badly. When I met you in Vegas you were so cute and upbeat I was convinced you've never had a sad day in your life. Even if you don't have insurance, a lot of places charge on a sliding scale based on income. I hope you begin feeling better soon. :xoxo:

[SuzeQuze]

There's a major for sculpture? I think you made the right choice with graphic design!

It is a really hard decision though. I want to have some sort of plan before I have to apply for colleges in August. College seems almost mandatory these days if you want to live a certain type of lifestyle.

Follow your bliss. And it sounds like you have a good head so you'll keep your head above water. You'll be broke for a while then the rewards will come. I just got Suze Orman's latest book in March which is really inspiring, even though it's supposed to be a finance book. You may want to check it out, the money book for the young, fabulous, and broke. She mentions young people should just focus on what makes them happy, then get into it, and work to make yourself indespensible. Good luck in your endeavors!

[GateandGarden]

Um... did you just crawl into my head and read my mind? EXACTLY!!! I pine away for boys from afar and in a sick way like having them far away from me so I can idealize them and turn them into something they can never be. It's the Angela Chase in me (My So-Called Life - best show evahhhh!) There was a brilliant line from My So-Called Life that went something like "I feel like I will die if I don't have the crush. Like I will starve to death. If the crush actually turns into something, then it's like it's not yours anymore." I am totally paraphrasing. When a crush turns into something... like a restraining order, for example! :lol: ... then I want nothing to do with the boy. But that like never happens because I am way to f*cked up to date anyone. Damn these all protecting airwalls!I really know what you mean. Sometimes I have to hold onto my fantasies about girls/women because if they came out in the open, then I'd have to find out what always seems to be the awful truth--the person is straight. And sometimes it's worse than that--the person doesn't like gay people. So, I just live inside a fantasy world for awhile. I've certainly done that plenty of times.

[GateandGarden]

psshht. Please. Besides all the gay men on this board, who is here but straight women? :D :wavey: :wavey:

[GateandGarden]

Oh my God, guys. You're all scaring the crap out of me.

Every single one of you has sort of become a person in my mind. Most of you, I only know as a screen name, same as you know me. And the only reason we're all here is because we share a common passion. But I think every one of us would say that we care to some degree, some more, some less, about the other people who come here. And right now, I'm really worried about what I'm reading. I'm not going to preach or get all airy fairy, but there IS a lot to enjoy and love and savour about life. If you can't see that right now, please consider getting some help. Talk to someone who can help you. There is no need to be sad and depressed. You all bring something to this board - and to the world - and it would be a sadder place without a single one of you.

Okay - now I AM getting overly emotional, so I'll stop. But please, guys, talk to somebody...That was a really sweet post, Cat. I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets all perklempt about the people on this board. The ones I've gotten to know are much more than screennames to me, too, and I certainly care about them. I'm glad that you feel the same way, and I'm glad that you've become more than a screenname and that I'm getting to know you, too. :wavey:

And by the way, Amber, how could eat the fattening food without me? I'm like Krista because that is just not okay with me. :laugh: I go to bed and you start doing that. Well, I'm making up for it with some fattening food this morning. :D

[tynan88]

I'd like to say something more insightful, but all I can manage is that I don't really know any of you well and I doubt I will ever meet any of you in person, but I love you all, and I care for you all.
You know there is talk in particular of lost love in some of the posts, and I think to myself sometimes, I would rather lose my love any day, at least that way I know I can love, and that is magical.
It gets hard sometimes, but you have to take the good with the bad.

I have to say, I woke up this morning, and thought, hmm... I think I may have been a tad over the top in that post. I hope not. I confess, I had just gotten home last night from having drinks with my two greatest friends in the world, and, well, ya know... Fertile ground to be a little overly emotional. :laugh: But I sometimes think when you're a little tipsy (or a lot) and your inhibitions are down, that's when the truth really comes out.

Funny you should say that. My friend called me the other day to say "you know that saying, 'better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all?' ... well, that's bull****!" We had a nice long laugh over that one. A long time ago, I came up with my own variation of it "Better to have cried and wanked than to have never wanked at all!" :lol:

Are you sure you don't unconsciously develop crushes on straight women because they are the safest crushes you can have? No possibility of real rejection aside from the obvious "Er... I kinda like dick. So, uh... bye!" :lol:

I might be wrong though. There are plenty of lovely straight men I see on a daily basis (the ones that actually shower, I should say! :lol: ) but I generally know I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Some day we will find our princes and princesses! It's hard to see that sometimes though. Like right now for example! :laugh:

And..

Example: The Incredible Story Of Two Girls In Love. That's a cute movie, anyway.

Oh well, off to do some errands. I will be back and be completely lost on this thread as it continues to change and you folks are discussing MatchGame 74' or something completely way off from where it is now. Such fun. :wavey: (writing down post where I left off 202) got it.

I <3 Brett Summers!!!!!!!!!!

Thank the stars I didn't rent it. My friend did. We watched the first five minutes and turned it off. Unbearable. We put in White Noise instead. A good movie. I was surprised.

I would seriously question whether having someone who rented Party Monster is worth having for a friend. :p

White Noise was...okay. Until that ending. Jeezum crow.

Do they say that down there? :eek: :shocked: :lol:

No, I don't think I've ever heard of it. Thanks for the recommendation! :)

It's a Canadian film. All Canadian films are about repressed homosexuality! :lol: It's beautifully filmed and the two actresses in it are absolutely gorgeous in a non-traditional sense. The music is incredible too. I bought the soundtrack and I own it on DVD. If you have an indie video store around you, you should see if they have it. It's beautiful. :xoxo:

Therefore I can still hold out hope that he is bi, since I've assumed he's gay because no straight man says "lord child" that often (or ever). :laugh::laugh:
