Bored

---

Is it wrong to consider suicide simply because life seems boring? No great hardship, no suffering or anything, just life is boring and nothing interesting happens. Just dissapointment after dissapointment, hard work ahead that ya just can't be arsed doing.

That sounds like it might be depression, not just boredom.

According to my friends and family, its just laziness.

Go do something fun then.

I'm on mid-term break now adn I've 3 parties lined up for this week. But I'm just one of those people who sits in a corner completely bored out of my skull. A bit of a waste really. Its kinda why I didn't have an 18th party, I didn't want to be stuck in my house with everyone having a better time than me at my own party. That, and they trash houses.

**For gods sake Bob, thats the stupidest thing i have ever heard..............killing yourself cos your bored, yeah right DUMB!!!!!! get off your ass and do something, find a new interest, meet new people, volunteer to work with people who are REALLY less fortunate than you, and help them.............there are lots of things to do, but sitting waiting for life to come to you just doesn't cut it hon, book yourself for a duel skydiving jump..............make things happen..................can't beleive how cross i am with you at the moment ** :angry:

So its a yes? I was just wondering, not a chance that I will be doing anything to myself. I'm a thinking man, not a doing man, which is probably why I'm gonna fail my exams at the end of the year.

If you put the work in, and you do your best, then what will be will be. Its only if you have no intention of putting the work in that you are sure to fail. Pull your socks up boy, don't make me come over there kiss

Well, my problem is that I hae no motivation. I know what I want to do, I know what I have to do to get there and I have people telling me 24/7 to do it all. But nothing, I just never do anything, even when I tell myself I'm gonna do something, I don't.

Make a list of a few things, pin it up and tick em of when you have done em..............after i have ticked a couple off it always makes me feel a little better about stuff............

I tried that before but I just ended up with a list of stuff with no ticks. None of the stuff seems in any way apealing to me, so my mind sends it to the back of the line, even behind doing nothing and staring blankly into space. I am a massive time waster.

things don't have to 'appeal' to you, they need doing, end of story! There is no excuse for not getting of your arse and at least getting one thing done per day. Have you thought that your lack of motivation etc could be due to depression? Just a thought.

Yeah, Ineligible mentioned that before, but I don't if it is. From what people have described as being depressed its all sorta constantly feeling down, world is too hard kinda stuff. I dunno, maybe you could correct me on that, but that isn't really me. Sure, I feel like that sometimes, but then later I can be a very active person, non stop talker and chatter, jokes flying everywhere. But then, like a light switch, I can just turn off.

Sorry if I'm showing great ignorance as to what depression is.

hmmmm not sure about the depression.........maybe its worth seeing your GP anyway see what they say. Other than that young man you have to pull yourself together, and just make yourself do stuff, whether you wanna or not...............maybe tidying up all the lists you have made might be a start LOL hug

I feel it's wrong to end your life and put that much strain on your friend's and family's life just because you feel your life is uneventful.

Bob, could you change your pic? Why did you change it to a naked man (or was it like this before, I never could see it until now).

I don't see any pic at all, but i always thought the family guy pic was a good pic to have on there, but i don'y anything on there now....

I had the family guy for ages, then took it away for the past couple of months, then today I had a naked old man for about an hour, then got rid of it cause Amanda asked me to. I thought it was funny, I stole it from some nudist forum and that was some guys avatar. Anyway, I don't think its depression, not fully anyway. I'm gonna go more for Ineligible's original suggestion (Christmas last year) that I may suffer from cyclothimia. I've read up on it a lot and nearly all the symptoms fit, except a few of them I have are milder than in the official dignosis stuff. Like, I don't stay down for a week, I'm down for a few hours, then up for maybe an hour, then down again.Oh no, I sstayed on topic... and in my own thread!! I disgust myself!

Yea, now it's out turn to get off topic lol (as we did with the avatar stuff) I'm keeping my avatar the same for prolly forever....just so the new people and the people whove been here for awhile will know who it is...but i hope u get to feeling better soon!

What kinda hijacking is that? You were going off topic and everything was good, but then you went straight back! Come on! You can do better than that!

I think bob is experiencing something similar to me. We have done a lot for being so young. I know that I am continually dissapointed with all of the people I am there for and all the good things I do...Even at work, I take the intiative to do things and I get some gratitude but that is all I ever see. Bob I know how you feel it is this sheet of "boredom" that just gets to you. You can feel good, but it seems to always be over you.
