Okay, well down...ish. I don't know why, I don't know what's eating away at me. I feel as if I have nothing left to say anymore. I can't even take a half assed swipe at the Labour government, not that I tended to do that as often as some people on forums do. There's an election on and a war on and I'm letting it pass without comment.

I'm not one to moan about how I feel from one day to the next, i'm usually stable and usually upbeat but I've been in a week long malaise that shows no sign of lifting. The little things that do excite me I bleed dry with over exhuberance and then it fades.

And it sucks. And we all get like that I'm sure

Summer is a very dreary time when it comes to politics and so forth.

I can empathize here.  I was feeling the same way last week.  Just try to find something to keep your mind off of it and try to focus and be more mindful of mindless, menial things so you're not focusing on your sadness while doing those things.

If it doesn't go away in a few weeks, I'd talk to a doctor about it.

Increase exercise and eat healthier foods for a bit. Making your body feel better should make your mind feel better. Are you doing enough social activities? I find if I go several days without doing much I get pretty depressed. I imagine it's worse in Scotland Smiley.

Anyway, I felt like this a week ago, but it was over a girl. Hope you're feeling better soon.

     I've been feeling down for the last month or so. It's not really a big deal unless you start to have suicidal thoughts or something like that. Here's to hoping you feel better, though.

Cheer up.  There are plenty of things you can be happy about...like...um...you can only be detained for 28 days without cause.  If you were in America, you could be thrown in Gitmo for the duration (whatever that means anymore).

I'm sorry to hear that. Sad Maybe you're going through a time where politics doesn't interest you as much as it used to.

It's overexposure to worthless speculation, I'm having a bout of it on and off right now. Take a cold shower and stay off the forum and BBC news for a bit, watch some funny stuff.

Thanks guys. I'm typing this up while on lunch break. I decided, pre-emting Jake a bit, to splash out for lunch. I'm hoping to see Chris this evening and I've decided to do something this weekend I've not done before. What, I don't know yet!

Maybe I am overexposed to some things and underexposed to others. So I guess I should get that sorted, even if briefly. I'm also going to take 4 days annual leave and go to London or Dublin. No politics Smiley Just fun..and museums..which for me is fun.

Take care of yourself, Andrew.  You're a wonderful human being and have so much to offer the world. Do the things you enjoy, spend time with people you love and find someone to be a help to.  I am praying for you!

I went through something similar a week ago. I got out of it by taking a day trip up to the mountains with someone special.

Enjoy the vacation Andrew Smiley
